Q: What is the first thing the French army teaches at basic training? A: How to surrender in at least 10 languages. (Me: To those who don't get correct import of the joke – The French aren't much known for their valour or bravery, and there are jokes galore at abject manner they surrendered to the Germans in WW II) ** News of our times… UN Women chief seeks justice for Nirbhaya UN Women chief Michelle Bachelet has demanded punishment of culprits of the horrific gangrape and murder of 23-year-old Delhi girl, saying a strong message must be sent that violence against women will not be accepted. (Me: Yet another stinging indictment of our law-enforcement machinery including justice delivery system. When the sentence on Kasab was carried out, all our union and statement ministers patted on their back – to no one's amusement and amazement - that we have shown to the world that our laws offer all judicial facilities to a even a hardened criminal. Now the entire world condemning us for awful laws. As any discerning or anyone with common sense knows only too well, a justice-dispensing system and fairplay isn't all about offering ostentatious facilities to an accused to go on a fishing expedition at taxpayers' money but to make sure that justice is handed out to all expeditiously. What we desperately need is a vastly simplified system that delivers justice fast at least cost, considering our scarce financial resources. The worthy Khatju recently castigated the lawyers' fraternity when it refused to take up the case of the Nirbhaya accused. What one would like to know is, should the taxpayers' money be spent at all on such an open-and-shut case in the name of fairplay or satisfy someone's whims and fancies?). Mindchow All tyranny needs to get a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent. ** Health tips. Pearl millet (bajra) contains phytic acid and niacin, which helps lower cholesterol levels. ** "The Mind acts like an Enemy for those who do not control it."
