Scorpio Stings ! - Scorpio *** (web ebook reader .txt) 📗

am afraid, is tainted at the moment. Since Govt and the opposition both are equally to be blamed for not bringing about a strong Lokpal bill even after 42 years of its conception the tendency to direct all attacks on Congress only be stopped forthwith. The thumb rule should be Cooperation and not Confrontation. We should not be blamed for “ my way is highway” any further. Lets try to pass a Lokpal Bill with some teeth in the budget session. You and me also had our initial teeth lost and then made up all 32!

Last but not the least, resolve ourselves to fight for the noble cause with out trespassing the Lakshmanrekha inbuilt in our democratic system lest we should be dumped as a psuedo democracy by the rest of the world.  

 

Thanking  You

18. New year resolution : 01 Jan 2013 

 

 

I am really bored in the very beginning of the New Year! . My left leg, which suffered a mild fracture, still bothers me a lot!  But I don’t want to copy that sweet little girl in  'Sound of Music’ who shows her bruised forefinger and says so innocently ‘ I am unable to sing’. 

 

My New Year resolution this year was different from previous years!  “ No Copy, Paste and Forward OK!’” You know that promises and records are there to be broken so are the resolutions! So, if you find any fwd from me please read, enjoy and then send to trash OK!

 

For your information OK is OK, and not Ok or ok or o. K., as per Merriam-Webster. Now don’t ask me what is Merriam Webster, ask Google OK!   Means I’m writing correct English!  Please don’t underestimate me for 33 core Hindu God’s/ Jesus’s / Prophet’s / Vayuguruji’s sake, I’m a true secular OK!

 

The other day I went to my village office to honestly pay out my land tax for the only piece of land I hold. I was asked to get the Badhyatha Certificate from Sub Registrar’s office since taxes are due for more than 5 years. You know that I am not a fool to hover around sub registrar’s office in East fort. So I went to a service center run by retired sub registrars and paid 0. 3 K and got the damned certificate yesterday. Today went to village office with that most valuable document again. I was pleasantly advised to write an application to Village officer on plain paper with a 5-rupee stamp affixed. Got that done paying Rs 15 to a master craftsman of applications waiting on the roadside with the most pleasing smile for I feared my English would boomerang and the application stood a chance for being rejected summarily.  OK, again went to village office to be told that they have to see the land in person day after tomorrow to ensure that it is mine! I have to take the official in n my car to my land on day after to tell him and convince him that it is my land to avoid further delay, boos if it is left to them then it has to go to Taluk office for further processing, another few weeks easily gone! So I am left with Hobson’s choice to fill petrol in my Alto tomorrow then waiting for day after to arrive! What the heck Yar!

 

 

 

 

 

19. Shame on us! : 07 Jan2013  

 

  

 

 

 

The self styled spiritual Guru, Asaram Bapu stated today ie on 07 Jan 2013

 

 

“Only  five-six people are not the culprits, the victim daughter is as guilty as the rapists. She should have called the rapist brothers and begged them to Stop … this could have saved her dignity and life. Can one hand clap, I don’t think so “

 

What a shame!

 

This is the worst ignominy that one can do to that poor unknown girl who died thousand times before finally she succumbed to the brutality of few monsters amongst us.

 

Let the soul of that ‘brave heart’ rest in peace. Please lets not commit the unforgivable sin, which cannot be washed off by the whole of ‘Ganga’ by abusing her once again in her coffin!

 

Silent Majority like me just cannot fathom what Asaram, the self styled Sadguru, I refuse to call him Sadguru, is suggesting. It stands to no reason while she was being mercilessly abused and raped how on earth could she know who were the brothers among those monsters and beg them to stop and to stop what?

 

Asaram says further ” Can one hand clap? I don't think so” This is really devastating! Does he suggest that the girl allowed herself to be raped? My God! To what extent human mind can degrade itself! It simply amplifies the perverted male chauvinistic mindset against which millions of candles were lit in whole of India the other day and still burning in the hearts of every true Indian.

 

Please delete this news item once and for all from your mailbox and your computer lest our children and grand children should not get a chance to read this most malicious joke on Indian womanhood

 

I won’t be surprised if this guy known as Asaram even at this infertile age with this heinous frame of mind could land into some sex scandal in the days to come!

 

 

  

 

 

 

20. Another bloody Shame! : 30 Jan 2013 

 

                                                          CM Walks off! 

                            

 

 I was really frustrated in the morning since I found nothing to taunt today.

 

Then came Metro Manorama for my rescue with an interesting news item on page 2. It reads like this

 

This took place yesterday in this very capital at the so-called prestigious Technopark complex during the inaugural function of the Kerala Sastra Congress. The CM arrived at 9.30 well in time for the function. But he was kept waiting and waiting for his turn, despite early info about his commitments were given to the organizers, by the long winding verbal diarrhea in the form of Welcome Speech followed by the Presidential Address. Getting late CM just lit the ceremonial lamp marking the inauguration and left he venue scotching the inaugural address!

 

What a shame! Will Kerala Sastra Congress authorities explain how CM of a state could be subjected to such an ignominy?

 

This clearly shows the callousness on the part of organizers who knew it fully well that the Chief Executive of the state is inaugurating the meeting. Many a times welcome speeches and presidential addresses mar the function thereby insulting the invited guests and the learned audience who come to listen to the chief guest. Unless some concrete efforts are made from the organizers this malice will continue and we the common man has to live with   bcos we are in democracy!

 

Please go to You Tube and search for Peethambara Kurup – manglish speech   for a classic example of “ How a welcome address should never be done”. This most idiotic and irresponsible performance by a sitting MP was given out in the presence of our CM, Central ministers like Subodhkant Sahay & Vayalar Ravi, ministers like KM Mani and host of VIP dignitaries, all of them were enjoying the fun!   In between someone told him not speak in English, Malayalam will do!  Go to You Tube and search for  "Peethambara Kurup – manglish speech "

 

To say the least, the voters of Kolllam   parliamentary constituency cannot be insulted in public worse than this. This is democracy again friend! 

 

 

 

 

 21. Is this country run by the Media or by the Constitution ? : 12 Feb 2013 

 

 

 

                                                                  OR 

 

  

 

   

 

The first thing I did when I woke up from the cozy morning slumber today was to rush to the door and pick the news papers, for I was intensely interested in two pieces of news. The first one, hanging of Afsal Guru, news of the Nation and the other, disclosure by R Basanth, former Justice of High Court of Kerala, purely Kerala specific. Going through page after page of the two Newspapers, The Hindu and Malyala Manorama, I am, as an   “aam admi“ on the MG Road, inhibited to ask my self this question “Is my country run by the Media or by the Constitution? “

 

First let me talk about the Afsal Guru case. Knowledgeable may please read carefully the pages of The Hindu of today (09 Feb 2013) ie the Editorial titled “Vengeance Isn’t Justice”, top page article “Afsal Gurus ‘Extinction’ with a box saying “A man was hanged who was not guilty beyond reasonable doubt” written by Anjali Modi and ‘ A perfect day for Democracy’ Exclusive by Arundathi Roy. The tenor in all these three articles is set to undermine and to question the judicial sovereignty and impartial performance of the top most institution under the constitution of India, the Supreme Court.

 

Are we, the silent majority of this vast country, to believe that the Supreme Court in its wisdom and in its earnestness to deliver justice failed in fulfilling its allegiance to the Constitution of India?   Then, for God’s sake, please try to find the answers for the following questions:

 

Do you believe the collective knowledge of three different Courts ie the trail court, the high court and the Supreme Court, on law & justice is inferior to the combined intelligence of Sidharth Varada Rajan , Anjali Modi & Arundathi Roy. If it were so, why the hell these stalwarts were quiet since 2005 and waited till Afsal Guru was hanged on 09 Feb 2013. Why didn’t they raise hue and cry all these years and get a better Supreme Court with more competent Judges so that ‘A Man who was not guilty beyond reasonable doubts’ would not have been hanged.   Look at the timing of these articles! Were they waiting   for Afsal Guru to be hanged to air their snivels? Then, are they not guilty of shedding crocodile tears and doing unpardonable injustice to the family of the man who they perceive is ‘not guilty beyond reasonable doubts’? Can there be a bigger hypocrisy more than this? Silent Majority in this country like me cannot just fathom the idea behind the tone of these articles. To me, it only amounts to jeopardize the very existence of a super custodian, i.e. the Supreme Court, for the Constitution of India and to create more instability in the country. So shouldn’t we not be more vigilant not to allow to any such tendencies to dabble with our Constitution for a moment, moment the constitution is flawed the nation fails and starts disintegrating!

 

Now on to the second Issue. A former Judge of High Court of Kerala was trapped by one of our favorite channels and his off record pieces of conversation within a friendly small group were aired by all Malayalam channels unabashedly despite his request and instruction to the rep of the channel not to place on record any of his conversations. Lets examine the propriety of this so-called sting operation. The channel that did it has not denied the fact that Justice Basanth ad instructed not to record or publicise his words. If this is not yellow journalism what else is?

 

You mean to say that any aam admi like you and me or any one from the elite band of society is not insulated form such string operations by these video channels who are in cut throat competition to be one up in the popularity ladder. Isn’t it a shame that you are destined to live with that Damocles sword hanging over your dear head?

 

Over to Basanth's disclosures! He has just said what he had laid down on his Judgment of 2005 on the infamous Sooryanelli case. The judgment was on public domain since 2005 and no one in this state or anywhere has ever raised
