'Can't change the law to suit a specific case'
Verma committee member justice Leila Seth says that the juvenile accused in the Delhi gang-rape can be reformed.

This India, My India…

And a parting kick…
Two cannibals, a father and son, were elected by their tribe to go out and get something to eat. They walked deep into the jungle and waited by the path. Along came a little old man. The son said, "Oh dad, there's one."
"No," said the father. "There's not enough meat to even feed he dogs."

"No," the father said. "We'd die of a heart attack from the fat. Let's wait."
About an hour later comes a gorgeous woman. Said the son, "Now there's nothing wrong with that one, dad. Let's eat her."
"No," said the father. "We won't eat her either."
"Why not?" asked the son.
"Because we're going to take her back alive and eat your mother."
