Matter of Choice: April 2006
http://matterofchoice.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
April 26, 2006. April 22nd was Earth Day. Earth day was first commemorated in 1970. The 70's was a decade when pessimism was at it's peak. The environmentalists and socio-economists were up in arms against the system and predicting the imminent demise of human society as we knew it. Today i was reading a WSJ. Since 1970, data in the US shows that. CO emissions down 55%. Particulate emissions down 80%. SO2 emission down by 50%. Lead emissions down by 98%. And ofcourse the perennial "we will run out of oil...

Matter of Choice: March 2007
http://matterofchoice.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
March 31, 2007. Late Captain Harshan R. 2 Para (Special Forces), Indian Army. Roll No: 2776, School Captain. Class of 97, Sainik School Kazhakootam). The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding, go out and meet it (. Circa 460 BC - 400 BC). The family lost a beloved son, the nation a hero, the army a leader and i lost my friend. The world has surely become a grimmer place without your smile to brighten it up.

Matter of Choice: June 2005
http://matterofchoice.blogspot.com/2005_06_01_archive.html
June 25, 2005. Today is the 30th anniversary of the declaration of emergency in India. It is not a happy occasion but rather a poignant one; to remember how close we came to becoming another tin pot third world dictatorship. However, i am not going to talk about emergency here; its been talked about and dissected a lot. I would rather talk about "Rajan case", the infamous police custody murder which happened in kerala during emergency period and the tragical farce it has become today. The incident should...

Matter of Choice: Pottanmar Pottayil!
http://matterofchoice.blogspot.com/2006/10/pottanmar-pottayil.html
October 20, 2006. Latest controversary in Kerala is about a police visit to the evangelical xtian enclave in Potta. It seems that the priests were operating a mental hospital without having the authority to do so. The priests say they were not operating a hospital but just a dispensary which was needed because lots of crazies visit that place! Now thats what i would call as honesty! Well atleast they didnt claim divine authority to operate a mental hospital! Now thats what i would call as honesty! Note t...

October 22, 2006. Sexual Predators in Action. That several rape cases have been filed against African bull elephants after they decided to sate their "animal" thirst by raping female rhinos! The article adds that atleast 63 rhinos have been recently found raped and killed by these marauding bulls! The killing, persumably, was to eliminate evidence (no one ever accused elephants of being dumb! The article suggests (in an oblique way! Ghosh, i can only imaine the horrendous implications!

Matter of Choice: September 2006
http://matterofchoice.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
September 20, 2006. During my last term in college, some of us were looking for a “chill” course and came across “international trade”, presumably full of international gyan! Unfortunately, the course was a tough cookie and remains a mystery but for one comment; “free trade benefits societies as a whole but not all individuals”. And asked about Shine. The answer was painful! After chatting for a while, I left and on the way back decided to get a pair of trousers stitched. But that didn’t seem e...PS: I n...
