On crimes and punishments!!

Interest rates may get slashed, home loan rates may get slashed but crime rate in India is always on the rise. If we ponder for a few minutes, we can squarely blame our punishment system for this trend.

The very second page of any Indian news paper is perpetually packed with rape incidents to pedophile on the prowl to gun running gangsters to traffic violators to pimps and brothels. A stringent yet "Non-capital" punishment will certainly bring down these atrocities. 

A rapist should forcefully undergo sex-change operation and get tattooed on the forehead "once a rapist". 

A pedophile needs to be forcefully used in a bomb disposal assignment without basic protection.

A corrupt official will have to give away his entire assets to PM relief fund and left to start all over again.

An eve teaser should be forced to clean toilets of a women college for a day. 

A traffic defaulter's vehicle should be punctured.

Repetitive defaulter's vehicle's fuel talk should be injected with sugar syrup.

A gangster should have his thumbs cut off.

The crime may be different. However, if we award the right kind of "TREATMENT" to these weeds; I foresee a much better society in the making. 

More suggestions on well thought punishments are welcome!!

Why can't I??

Well... here's a short poem/tribute for one of my friends who has started a small venture. I wish him the very best in all his future endeavours.

Best of men have proved it right
All you need is grit to fight
Falling down is not a sin
That’s the start; closer to win

If you care to see them all
Their starting days were filled with falls
Hadn’t they fought to stand again
Wouldn’t have known the waiting gain

There’s nothing that comes free of cost
Thinking so would get you lost
Luck would favour those who try
Success ahead; so don’t you cry

Those who made it big and high
Endured the pain; but not a sigh
They marched ahead and aimed the sky
Shouting; If they can do.. why cant I??
