Thoughts on Mother Teresa’s Canonization

I made two posts on Facebook regarding Mother Teresa’s Canonization. Both was not rejoicing on it but raising an opinion on how farcical and stupid it is. My first post was to point why people who oppose Saibaba, Mata Amirtanandamayi and similar Godmen and Godwomen find a difference and rejoice in the glamorous event of bestowing a so called sainthood on a human being. My … Continue reading Thoughts on Mother Teresa’s Canonization

Street Dog Chronicles of a Dog lover

On my visit to Bangalore I decided to capture pictures of street dogs for a day as I spend in the city. I could have more images if I had done a similar thing while in Kerala. I missed it.

Refreshing Secularism in the Arab Muslim World

Listen to Nasser Dashti the Kuwaiti Activist… Hope the morons in Saudi Barbaria and other countries understand how important it is to remove religion from public life and allow people to disown one’s own religion if they feel so or change it if they feel so and live by the modern rules of humanity and human and civil rights. Religion can be a kind of tyranny … Continue reading Refreshing Secularism in the Arab Muslim World

“Come a Patient Return a Doctor” Really? When does Stupidity turn criminal?

People who through their personal Charisma, stupidity that borders on dishonesty and sweet talk influence unassuming and often less educated people to stop taking medicines and act as crusaders against things like Vaccination should be stopped as they pose a real problem to the society.

I will not subscribe to Islamophobia and you cannot force me to

Every time something bad happens I try to write and the tragedy is we are not able to catch up and write with the frequency and gravity of bad things happening around the world. Sometimes I feel that the anger over incidents of terrorism happening is not helping because anger happens and then people settle down and get back with their lives.

I am not gay nor am I a Muslim; but I am hurt by both Homophobia and Islamophobia

Another mass shooting at a gay nightclub by a muslim man who had called 911 and mentioned his allegiance to ISIS. Authorities are still figuring if it is ISIS directed or ISIS inspired.

The Problem with Brock Turner’s Party Culture and Peer Pressure Argument

The Rape accused Stanford student Brock Turner is blaming Party culture and Peer Pressure as the reason for his action. In my opinion his aim is to come out clean so he gets support from the People for his light 6 month sentence in lieu of the 14 years he should really get. I also came across a comment from a well meaning friend of mine who posted … Continue reading The Problem with Brock Turner’s Party Culture and Peer Pressure Argument

Triskaidekaphobia in God’s Own Country

So Kerala elections are done and the LDF comes to power. In God’s own country out of 19 ministers 16 took the oath in the name of the Indian Constitution instead of God while 3 stayed true to the state’s marketing slogan. The imaginary God lost. All is good till here, but even now Triskaidekaphobia seems to be prevalent in the circle. ‘Triskaidekaphobia’ is considered … Continue reading Triskaidekaphobia in God’s Own Country
