Sedition, as in the Indian constitution, the term is defined as words, signs or visible representation that brings or attempts to bring hatred, contempt towards the government established by law of India whereas sedition in the American constitution limits the definition to just actions of dissent that bring hatred and contempt towards the nation. And so the "protectors" of free speech argue why does our definition exceed to words and speech. Well, to answer this I would like to bring people's awareness to the elements of conspiracy - 1. an agreement of two or more people to commit a crime in the future, 2. it is driven by influence. When we talk of influence, how easy it is for our poverty- stricken and illiterate population to fall for militancy when even heinous crimes in the society are influenced by Bollywood movies. However, however, the Bollywood movies cannot be accused of creating conspiracy as intention too is an element of conspiracy. Regarding the JNU c...

Why is it that we are directed to 'fear the lord' here will be the question arising in the minds of most. Well, I answer this by what I have derived from my interpretations and that is- only those who lack wisdom have to be asked to fear the lord to make them act in accordance with morals. And those, who are already wise themselves 'feel' that their actions must be humane and must never compromise with their ethics and hence they needn't be asked to fear the lord.

"Teach him never to take a stand and then he will fall for anything"- You Can Win by Shiv Khera I haven't taken to books in a while but thank God came across this quote under a part of my English project.This seems quite convincing to me and I had this thought in my mind for quite some time but only needed someone to put it into the precise quotations that will help me reach out to people regarding this in a better way. So here it goes, while I was in my psychology class and the topic being adolescence (not to worry I wont go that deep into this at least this time but this one's related) we arrived at this concept of black, white and grey areas in which we think. What i could make out while the teacher explained was that black and white contours meant thinking in extremes and the grey contour, obviously the overlapping of the two is when we think somewhere between extremes. Here's how its related to adolescence, the hormones in the stage of adolescence are s...

What reasons do we have to claim that we've made an impact on the Globe? Well, I derive this from our ranking in the National Happiness Index released by the UN. We stand at the 118th position! Whereas China- 83rd, Pakistan-92nd (about 26 places ahead of us!), the Palestinian Territory, 108th ( and mind you even the amount of displaced population determines the scale of happiness of a country) and Bangladesh, 110th. The fields that are thoroughly researched in the making of the report include- Economics, Psychology, National Statistics, Survey Analysis and Public Policy to name a few. Through which of these fields can we set out to make an impact? Economics and Public Policy? Well, how do you answer this when corporate hubs like Gurugram and Mumbai come to a standstill just because of water logging due to the 'awaited' rains! Psychology and Surveys? How do you answer this when major respondents are illiterate? We take pride in our dem...
How to Train Your Teenager

'Teenager' - Sometimes, I feel that its not a term that's good enough to term me on categorizing people. I'd rather be put into the kid's section than being called a 'teenager', believing on the notions that this term or people under this section are getting worse or are becoming 'dangerous' beings to deal with. However, as a teenager, myself if I form notions like these would be seemingly considered as an abnormal child. But, even I was quite excited on entering my teens, I don't know why but little did I believe that I was growing up. What my beliefs on this generation have been built up can be quite conflicting with a normal teenager whose role models are actors and actresses just because of how good they look rather than real role models like A.P.J. Kalam and Steve Jobs, the teenager who lives in reel life rather than concentrating on real life! Visions can always be deceptive, however if a student does well academically does not me...
