which is very brief form of Acts passed by legislature."

The One and Only One - Shyaam

"I am Me. In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me. Everything that comes out of me is authentically mine, because I alone chose it -- I own everything about me: my body, my feelings, my mouth, my voice, all my actions, whether they be to others or myself. I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears. I own my triumphs and successes, all my failures and mistakes. Because I own all of me, I can become intimately acquainted with me. By so doing, I can love me and be friendly with all my parts. I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and other aspects that I do not know -- but as long as I am friendly and loving to myself, I can courageously and hopefully look for solutions to the puzzles and ways to find out more about me. However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is authentically me. If later some parts of how I looked, sounded, thought, and felt turn out to be unfitting, I can discard that which is unfitting, keep the rest, and invent something new for that which I discarded. I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do. I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive, and to make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside of me. I own me, and therefore, I can engineer me. I am me, and I am Okay and the Best!!!!!!! Any Problems???????"

Exam Bloomers Again - a new Philosophy of Law

In answer to a question on the development of law in stages of history and classification of law:
"... As per a distinct branch of law, the law of cosmos, cosmic law, particles circling around in variating frequencies developed into a vital source of matter. Quoting the principles of dialectical meterialism, these particles resulted in the formation of universe, planets with it and most prominently sowing the seeds of life. ..."

How long to Wait?

Sometimes things are so difficult that you think of quitting.  At these times what makes one go forward is dreams of a tomorrow where everything will be alright.
The papers today had the striking down of the Narendran Commission's Report relating to creamy layer in Kerala by the Supreme Court as its headline.  Justice delayed is supposed to be justice denied.  What was the need for waiting till now (the case was filed in 2002), to strike down the report?  Now what will happen to the recruitment made on the basis of the flawed report till now?
I am not going into the merits and demerits of the Narendran Commission's Report.   I am wondering about the tardy judicial progress which is the bane of a democratic society that affixes responsibility and accountability on nobody.
At least in the judicial sphere, there has to be some efforts at reducing the time made available to a court to arrive at a decision.  human lifespan is so meagre that life of entire generations gets wasted by inordinate delay in finalising issues relating ultimately to policy.
We need more members in the judiciary.  26 judges in the Supreme Court of a Nation that boasts of more than a billion citizens is pathetic, to say the least.
This reflects the rest of the judicial setup and is indicative of the maladies that face justice 
administration in the country.  It is high time this is changed.

Why?

If the world be such a nice place, why is the creator not here?
Now, why would it be that he is not here?
Do we know all about what's going around to be sure about anything?
So long as the mystery of the missing links are not clear how can we vouch for darwinism as better than the theory of divine origin?

The more one think, the more one is in awe about the world.
