Wing Cdr Abhinandan. Indian Media gave many a scary moment.

What a relief Wing Cdr. Abhinandan Varthaman is back. Those were difficult days from  27th Feb. to 1st March'19. To make matters worse, some TV anchors were loud and extremely hollow. Just anything could have happened. And rightly so, the release was delayed by several hours. Instead of 2.30 pm, Wing Cdr. Abhinandan  was released at 9.20 pm, Indian Standard Time. 
Wonder why the Supreme Court or senior authorities did not raise objection? Sarabjit Singh case couldn't have been forgotten so fast. 
Sarabjit Singh was not an armed forces man. But he was an Indian nonetheless. His folly was that he accidentally entered the enemy country. Since then the Indian Government was making continuous efforts to bring him back. In 2012, there came a ray of hope in the form of news that Sarabjit Singh would be released the next day. The country was jubilant. As expected, our media took to loud-mouthing. Sarabjit’s family distributed sweets and waited eagerly to receive him the next day. That’s when the enemy country took a U-turn and released Surjit Singh instead! Yet another Indian. Yes, good that Surjit Singh came home. It would have been better still if both had returned home together!  But that did not happen and Sarabjit Singh died in 2013.
Yet another thing that nobody noticed was that we stood the risk of losing the support of other countries because of our loud-mouthed media. 

Legislature, Executive, Judiciary and Press (Media) are four strong pillars of Democracy. And each should be a check on others.

Anyway, it's good that Wing Cdr. Abhinandan Varthaman is back and as per the reports he is doing well. 

Saddest Day For India. Death of Jagjit Singh. Stay Order on Ajmal Kasab's Death.

 Death of Jagjit Singh and Life giving to Ajmal Kasab—truly a cruel joke!

Singer Jagjit Singh’ Death. It’s difficult to imagine that this velvety voice will not sing any new songs. Remember,” Honto se chulo tum…”or his duet with Chitra Singh, “Yeh tera ghar, yeh mera Ghar…” or the famous song from Sarfarosh, “Hosh walon ko khabar kya…”

Jagjit Singh’s voice was beautiful, beautiful & beautiful. India will miss him for sure.

Stay on Ajmal kasab’s death. To think that this stay order could come from the Supreme Court of India! It’s a real shame. Nothing could be crueler than this. So many innocent lives were lost on Nov.26, 2008 in the Terror Attack in Mumbai. The stay order puts a big question mark on the caliber of our judiciary.

I know it is dangerous to say and could even tantamount to giving ideas. But has India forgotten the sordid 1999 Indian Airlines Plane hijacking? Oh, God, when will our judiciary wake up and become wise!
