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??

Dasvidaniya - Best goodbye ever

What makes a movie tick?? If anyone has a sureshot answer to this question every movie getting released would be a Superhit isnt it. To me whether a movie goes on to become a hit or not..if you are able to relate to it..that itself is a victory for that creator. Dasvidaniya is one such movie. It got released quite sometime back and sank without a trace for obvious reasons. Happened to watch it today and here is the review :) This movie maynot be everybody's cup of tea considering that it moves at a slow pace and doesnt have feet tapping melodies or any peppy songs. Nor does it have slap stick comedy scenes which might draw repeat audience. This is one movie best watched in DVD..at your own leisure..just soaking in its pace and relishing just the same. If its Nasseruddin shah with Vaswani 3 decades back..Vinay Pathak and Ranbir Shourie are no less a pair to match wits with them. Add in the ever dependable Rajat Kapoor you've a formidable cast. Throw in a decent script and lo..yo...

Enna koduma saaar ithu!!!!

We are a group of 5 who share our apartment. Usually me and one more guy are the last to the leave the house everyday morning. Yesterday, the one who used to leave first for office, didnt come home till 11. I went to sleep after the usual book reading session at around 11.30. When i woke up i saw it was only me who was still lying on the mat while even the guy who leaves for office along with me, had already started folding his bed!! I was feeling very tired and sleepy and was in two minds whether i should take off or go late. Still managed to crawl..brushed teeth half sleeping and swtiched on the geyser. I turned back to see, suddenly it was pitch dark outside the bathroom!! Since the light was On inside, it wasnt power cut and i came out to see what was wrong. The guy who folded his bed, had moved to the hall and was again asleep!! Then only i noticed, it was dark outside the balcony too!!! I checked the time. It was 3AM!!! BOOOOHOOOOOOO!!! SOB SOB SOB!!! That useless guy afterwards ...
