Kasab Found Guilty--FINALLY!!!!

I happened to read in a news website today, "Ajmal Kasab found guilty on all charges." Reading this article made me wonder whether I should be relieved about this or feel ashamed about our Indian government. Our "great" Indian government took nearly one and a half year to prove guilty a terrorist who has been clearly captured on video mercilessly butchering innocent civilians; a terrorist, who, the whole world knows, is guilty. Shouldn't we really feel proud to be living in a country with such a remarkable judiciary system?

Well, on a positive note, we can at least be glad that Kasab has been found guilty and not actually acquitted of his charges!! The way this trial was going on really made me think of such a possibility!! How can anyone even imagine that the term "innocent until proven guilty" even applies to such a cold-blooded terrorist? The 26/11 attacks were not just attacks on India; they were attacks on humanity. In my opinion, a person who commits such a heinous crime and does not even feel an ounce of remorse for it, should suffer a terrible punishment; he should pay not just for his doings but for that of the other terrorists as well. Yet, he was subjected to a "Fair" trial, provided with two lawyers, and he even actually announced that he was innocent!! What's more, thanks to our dear Indian government, Kasab now enjoys celebrity status, even having his profile on Wikipedia!!

As I said, at least we can be glad that Kasab has been finally proven guilty; although it may be too little too late, at least the judiciary system has done that little bit. We can only hope that he is awarded a sentence fit for the crime he and his accomplices committed; although it is a known fact that no amount of punishment can be enough for such a crime committed on humanity, at least it will be some solace for the numerous families who lost so many loved ones in the 26/11 terror attacks.

Congratulations, Team INDIA!!!!

I can confidently venture to say that 2011 will forever hold a special place in the heart of each and every Indian all over the world. Personally, April 2, 2011 will be a very, very special date for me for many, many years to come.. the day my long awaited dream finally came true. Well, if you are wondering what I am talking about (i.e. if you haven't already guessed it), I am, of course, talking about the ICC World Cup 2011. We are the WORLD CHAMPIONS!!! The World Cup has finally come back to India after 28 long years! 28 years...that is nearly three decades..I myself hadn't been born when India had last won the World Cup. It's such a great feeling that it is tough to even get words to describe it. I happen to be a die-hard Sachin Tendulkar fan. I must have been hardly 6 or 7 years old when I first saw Sachin play..and my..how do I put it..fascination, love, awe? for him has only grown twenty-fold (if not more) over the years. As was the dream of every Sachin fan, it w

My Attempt at Cooker Cake Making

D ocumented below is my attempt at preparing a cake this past weekend..The results impressed me so much that I felt the need to blog it! :D To be honest I am not much of a baker and am a complete "newbie" when it comes to cake making..I have prepared it once or twice in the past, and it turned out okay taste wise (NOT shape wise!) I set out to prepare a cake this Sunday, thanks to the immense inspiration I have been getting from Masterchef Australia of late.. :D Ive never been a great viewer of cookery shows in the past, but Masterchef Australia has always been an exception.. Every series just happens to be better than the last.. and I do love the MasterClasses! Anyway getting back to my cake, I originally wanted to make a cheesecake (like the one prepared on last week's episode) but had to change plans at the last minute due to lack of a variety of cheeses (and fear that it wouldn't come out right). I then decided to make a simpler vanilla flavoured cak

Being Nice Doesn't Cost Much

I just recalled an interesting anecdote that I wish to share over here. I had been out to the mall with my parents roughly a year back, a few weeks after the Lockdown 2.0 had been lifted and when life was just crawling back to normal again. We made use of the opportunity to finally go for a small outing. We had lunch outside after what seemed like a decade and then decided to visit our local shopping mall for a bit of "window shopping". As we were walking by the shops, I stayed back at a clothing store as a line of cute Indian bridal wear caught my eye. I admired the clothes from the shop window for some time and was turning back to rejoin my parents, when a lady who was passing by walked up to me and smiled. Just as I began scratching my head (figuratively of course) trying to recall whether I knew her from somewhere, she broke the ice and said, "I really love the skirt you're wearing! Could you tell me where you purchased it from?" I have to admit I was taken
