random thoughts

I want to know the Truth, All the worlds a lie, Broken are the foundations I believe in, The victories are defeats, With eyes never apart, The sky turns black from blue, With stones replacing hearts, Why are questions never asked? For in them lie the answers, Why must I tolerate greed and might? Why must I fly when I can fight? Why must I turn my around and keep quite? When will my heart turn to the light? - LOML

The EQUAL law

The law is equal for all so we like to believe, but it is quite interesting to see the startling difference between the Canadian man accused in 45 cases of assault or the UP Politician’s son convicted in one murder case while undergoing another trial for another murder brought to court and the other inmates who may or may not be involved in serious crimes.
Ernest Fenwick Macintosh, 63 year old Canadian citizen living in India since 1994, was arrested in Delhi last week has been produced in court twice since his arrest and is invariable bathed a Calvin Kline cologne, allowed to sit while the constable on duty next to him stands and given mineral water brought by his defense lawyers in court during the court is hearing his case.
Vikas Yadav convicted in the Jessica Lal murder case and the main accused in the Nitish katara murder case, is brought in with less pomp and show but invariably looks like he just walked out of a beauty parlour after attending a very long facial session. His hair that almost outshines his skin is well conditioned with material rarely available inside the prison.
On record no one is willing to comment but off the record it is a well-known fact, "That if you got the money you got everything, even forbidden things inside the jail."
Other accused when brought to court are usually pushed around and bullied by the constables and never offered a seat or sip of water. They are hardly ever shaved or in clean clothes and it is not about the social backgrounds they come from as they hardly look different from the richer accused before their arrest.
It bothers but continues to exist... one of those things we all just put aside as... "Life!"
