Ashram Chowk

Everyday while commuting from my home to office and back, I have to cross the Ashram Chowk. A swarm of vehicles waits on that road to cross a red light made for the convenience of the pedestrian crossing the road. The two wheelers, small cars, big cars, SUV's, buses every kind is there in the traffic, slowed down to the speed of 10-20Km/hr. A great leveler that ashram chowk is !!

   There's an interesting group of snake charmers, who have this special talent of cutting the traffic from left, right and centre. They move their vehicles like a snake and general people usually call them motorcyclists. I wonder how many of them have the life-insurance policies for themselves. (I won't reveal that I sometimes try to be one of them and yes, I do have an insurance policy ;) )

   Moving away from our star snake charmers, I would like to say that every morning and evening this traffic jam frustrates me and I always wish that our rulers will work someday to de-congest the chowk and make life a little easier. For starters, remove that red light and make a pedestrian bridge. IS ANYONE LISTENING???

High Court Allows Women to Server Liquor in Bars

Recently a Delhi Highcourt has striked down a 90 year ruling which prohibits women to work in areas such as bartending. The court has done this to provide equal opportunity and to to eradicate watever gender bias still exists in the contries laws. This has been hailed as a move towards socio-economic progress.

   Well, if we really wish to give equal opportunities to women, employe more women to higher positions in corporate world and let them take part in active politics.

   The only people who hail this ruling as socio-economic progress are the hoteliers who want women bartenders to send their cash register ringing by exploiting their crowd pulling potential

   Let's face it - our attitude towards women remain unchanged. Women continue to be seen as sex symbols and instigator of basel passions. In such an atmosphere, getting women to server drinks is sure receipe for trouble. If women are not safe working late at call centers, how can they be safe serving liquor to drunken men till the late hours of the night?

After having my stint with blogspot.com,I am finally having my own blog at my own domain. Thanks to DasBlog I am able to start my blog in .NET. 

I have customized the template 'Portal' by Johnny Hughes and have included some features like my picture , introduction and google adsense to suit my need. And i think the end-result is too good. What do you people say ?
