Decision time

This is one question which has been lingering on my mind for a while...and after reading "The Chamber" by Grisham it has grown in strength. Should we have capital punishment? Do we have the right to take others lives, even through legal medium? From a victims perspective it might sound justified. I've argued on both sides of the issue with myself and few of my friends. But the vote is evenly divided on both sides. Eager to hear ur views on that.

capital punishment doesnt make sense to me..

i feel deterrents are meant to remain unused, once it is used it will cease to be a deterrent forever!

hmm...difft view point...but wat do u think abt the roles of prisons...frm a theoretical perspective its supposed to be a place of reform repent and wen released shd be rejenuvated..but nowadays its meant more as a punishing tool and the term reformatory is no longer in existence...if u look at juvenile cases...kids are sent for reforming to reformatories...if u ask me..at an adult level prisons shd also serve the same purpose..may be in difft ways...but thts clearly not happening....guess its same with capital punishment also...u cant make a person better by killing him...(WOW...interesting thot huh :))...any comments?

oliveoyl!!! nice name UP ...if not for ur mail id wud've been wondering who is this..:)..well lif after death irukaangarathay its a debatable topic..and moreover if u r a victim...u wud crave for vengaence...which again leads to a vicious circle...and again..goin by ur concept life after death is a stuff determined not by humans...so cant question the authority of it...but can a system legally kill a person?is it wat law is meant for??

From Confedration towards Confused Nation

Andru: "avvvvvvvvvvvvv.....enaku antha bommai venum..." "chellam...adam pudikathada..saapdu" "saapda maaten po..enaku antha bomma vaangithanthaa thaan sapduven" "chamthula..saapduma...amma paavamla.." "avvvvvvvvvvvvv.....maaaten maaten" "ipo sapdla..udha vizhum" "maaten...maaten..maaten" The kid ultimately prevails and the doll is bought. Indru: "Fast unto death"..."wont even drink a drop of water...till telengaana is achieved"..."blood will flow.." blah blah blah... And this time the government yields to the demand.

Rudhra Veenai

Took binge watching to a whole new level and completed Rudhra Veenai series in a week's time :) The best part of the lot being, i didnt see the last episode to know the ending, despite the craving urge right from midway onto the series. Yay to that :)  The story by Indira Soundrarajan, made into drama series by Radaan have been on my radar for few years now and thanks to my blog mate and good friend Brags, managed to get hold of the series. For long my complaint against tamil series is that they are in no league to match the thrill element of the english drama series. There are some handful of good comedy series like Flight 171, Ramany vs Ramany but none to match a good suspense thriller till i stumbled on the Marmadesam series. Read in some survey that they've been voted as the best ever tamil series of the 90's. Not sure on the authenticity, but they would definitely worth any such accolades. Marmadesam series where way too ahead of their time for any drama series is my...
