Real Freedom for former convicts.

Society is filled with Good & Evil beings.If evils, even very few in number could be turned good; can be a real asset for all of us.Freedom is really a very complex word, definition of freedom varies to different individuals.People who are free(who are not kept behind the iron cells) like us takes freedom for granted.My main motto of writing this post is inspired by Hindustan Time's article "HIRE UP" it was pertaining to job security for former prisoners.

Let me give you fantastic insights regarding it,which is fantastic and could bring drastic change in former convicts.Recently tihar jail organized placement  activities for prisoners who showed commendable behavior.100 prisoners,who are about to set free are found eligible for it.Its a tremendous effort to give them a second chance.These small acts act as a good signs for society because chances are that these former convicts(some of them are not even serious offenders and some of them even didn't committed any offenses) will not again indulge in wrongful deeds.

Number of companies even showed interest in hiring them.Sir Richard Branson(founder of virgin group) in Britain  even made the policy of hiring ex-convicts.Our society(even developed nations) perceives ex-criminals as not fit for jobs and it gives reason to ex-criminals to follow again on former tracks.There was a time in USA when gangsters were treated as Celebrities(watch johny depps's public enemies and recently released J. edgar starring Leonardo-di-caprio based upon true stories)Crime pays but in short term but if these demons are glamorized,things start taking ugly turn which already happened in USA,RUSSIA(formerly USSR).

I wish other jails(prisons) start doing placement activities for convicts,at least it can make a little mental change in convicts to follow right paths.As terrorists are brain washed for doing heinous things.Can't we follow these techniques to brain feed them that 'You got the second chance,make it better this time'

you are right - freedom is definitely relative

THE LAST BULLET

Target photo -     Assassin’s phone flashed the message and picture, Prepared to hunt the victim; he readied himself, Carried the gun to shoot and machete to cut the prey, On mission to earn livelihood, Best killer; as he was known among his benefactors, Always elusive and anonymous to his hirers, Makes a deal and always asks motive to kill, Killing was his game to fame, Stalked the gullible to fetch right time to shoot, Got the chance at deserted street to take down the prey, Fired the gun and bullets pierced the ill-fated man’s body, Blood spilling from head to toe, Last bullet still in gun’s barrel, Murderous hand holding the gun, Paced near the body; knelt before the body and wept, Gun pointed by him on his forehead and last bullet smashed his brain, Assassin just killed his brother and followed the path of self-annihilation, Murderer's brother conspired to kill him, As killer's phone  dropped near his idle bloody body , Targe...

Mughal Emperor Akbar

Mughal Empire ruled the subcontinent from 1526 to the beginning of the British Raj in 1858.Babur's (1st mughal emperor in India) victory  at panipat in the year 1526 initiated Mughal raj in India.Well this post is not about Mughal history.This post is about Akbar-most sophisticated and successful Mughal Emperor.There are many firsts under his rule; equal respect to different religions, against casteism and most importantly- Akbar not only tolerated religions other than Islam, he encouraged interfaith discussion and debate. After listening to many religious scholars from the prominent religions of his empire (i.e., Islam, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, and, to a lesser extent Jainism, Christianity and Judaism) he decided that no one faith was entirely and exclusively true; he developed a syncretic religion which he called Din-i Ilahi, "the Divine Faith" and encouraged his subjects to follow it. It combined elements primarily from Islam and Hinduism, but also from Zor...

JOB-LESS APPLE,WILL TIM BE ABLE TO COOK RIGHT RECIPY FOR APPLE?

Apple’s rise as a superb & innovative company in recent times is nothing short of to be called as awesome.From personal computers to other widely accepted products ,Apple’s journey is incredible.Years ago there was nothing as i’s (phone,pad,pod) but steve’s vision turned it into a reality and made the “i” products   everyone’s favorite and subject of envy for its competitors ,who thought   Apple is going to be rotten.Microsoft tried to imitate the success of ipod with its product ZUNE(I am sure many of us even don’t know that it existed),but failed to capture the attention of consumers. Its market capitalization puts it just ahead or just behind the longtime No. 1, Exxon-Mobil. Apple’s journey at a helm is not without dents,7 of its products can easily be tagged as failed in marketplace - 1)Apple III (1981) Successor to the hugely popular Apple II is focused on business users and of course the price is also adjusted. Unfortunately, the hardware is not reliable 2)L...
