Apex court!

-

The 44 day summer break (May 19 - July 2) of the Supreme court of India has concluded. The apex court of India now heads into what could be a tumultous session as there are a slew of important and high profile cases that are to be adjudged. Some of them are : Ayodhya dispute; practice of polygamy by Muslims; Issues regarding Aadhar and National Register of Citizens in Assam.

It had already dealt with the lingering problem of the feud between the government of Delhi and Lieutanant Governor this week. Delhi CM has been an ardent supporter of full statehood to Delhi and was always found  grappling with the Lieutant Governor and the centre. Delhi’s LG had for some time, been accused of interfering with the matters concerning to state government in Delhi. Supreme court in an epic judgement gave a hint of breath to the Arvind Kejriwal govt as it stifled the power of LG, and explicitly stated the ruling party will have the  final say and that the LG should abstain from encroaching in every matter. It also nipped any ideas of rendering complete statehood to Delhi.

The summit court is now dealing the cases of decriminalising gay sex/marriage and tweaking adultery laws. Adultery law in our constitution says that the man who is involved in an illicit relationship with a married woman is liable to punishment. A PIL  filed by (.   ) asks to either repeal this law or charge the women equally as it is consensual and women are equally complicit in this wrongdoing. The centred asked the Supreme court not to consider the option of dissolving this law as it is indispensable to maintain the sancity of the marriage. As for the former, the centre rendered no opinion and asked SC to act on its own wisdom.

Cosmic energy!

        What is cosmic energy? Many of you might have a vague and one-aspect notion of it, but after reading this article you might be changing the way you look at this.  Have you ever wondered why is meditation good for mind and health? Have you ever thought why there is much emphasis on yoga? It is all because of cosmic energy. Cosmic energy in hindu terms can be referred to as “shakti”. It is the unfettered flow of energy in the form of cosmos throughout the universe. It is the force and energy that maintains the balance of every organism. You cannot destroy or conjure the cosmic energy but can only allow chanellise it through your body. One who channellise it reaps benefits and gets rejuvenated and reinvigorated.  Now you might have started to get confused thinking what is this new energy and how will it control our lives. But what if I say that you wittingly or unwittingly harness the power of cosmic energy from time to time in small portions....

IT sector on the move!

-
      IT sector in India is rejuvenating. Many companies like Tata Consultancy service(TCS) and infosys has registered a growth rate of 15% and 12% respectively. But it will be wrong to assume that the jobs which had taken a dip in the last 2 years, will  increase proportionately. Rewind five years and you can see a boomimg IT industry at its heyday, where the companies had witnessed huge growth rates and profits. It also helped to alleviate the perennial unemployment problem that exists in India. An average of 2.4 lakh jobs were offered every year in this sector from Finacial Year (FY) 2011-15. But this numbers took a dip in the FY 2016 with only 1.7 lakh job hirings. It further dwindled to 1 lakh in the year 2017 exacerbating the situation further.

Many people predicted the situation to grow further worse, but the present scenario proves it wrong. One shoul...

Elections-2k19

Countdown begins! There is less than one year  before we head into , what could be a tumultous  elections. Each and every party is gearing up for the elections and devising ideas, modalities, speeches and plans to outdo the other parties. This  is going to be a litmus test for both Congress and NDA. Its been a while, the former party suffered a debacle and are raring to go and redeem their pride. As for the latter, which is heavily reliant on the aura of Narendra Modi, this should be the perfect platform for them to show their supremacy and zip the lips of  the opposition party leaders. Lately Regional parties have become a huge factor in deciding the power at the centre, as we can see the power drama that transpired in the karnataka. So it is important to form the alliances and have their backs. In the run up to the elections we will find both the parties intensely slandering each other, trying to tarnish the images of one another, but the  Narendra Modi led B...
