Gods must be crazy

Killing and Eating Goat is not an offense.
But how come killing and eating a blackbuck is an offense?

My Question may sound like idiocy. But rules are different in different occasion.

Blackbuck is a rare kind and goats are in abundance.

So, if people of United States die in terrorist attacks, their life are precious where as if Indian people die, its not that much big crime is it?

We can accept that killing a blackbuck is a crime, because it may lead to complete vanishing of the rare breed from the world. But what kind of punishment can be given to the convicts?

My suggestions are

Heavy fine with a token term of imprisonment.
A public apology.
A Compulsory community service for a particular period.
A compulsory service in the national zoo.
Warning of heavy fine and longer imprisonment if the crime is repeated.

Or you could match the criminal to his crime... and just shoot him!

Americans were shocked by 9/11 because most of US didn't realize it was coming...and are so self absorbed that we still have a hard time accepting that the rest of the world doesn't like US as much as we like ourselves!!!! Silly Americans!!!

My sense is that India is more used to random tragedies... Bhopal, train wrecks, temple fires... caused by humans trough accident or intent to be shocked. It is not that Indians love their families any less or value their lives radically differently..... but the Americans most likely to support our idiotic national responses...invading Iraq, threatening the unity of NATO, and the barbarity of GITMO and Abu Graeb... are the ones with little or no connection to the victims.

My sense is that we Americans tend to be more ignorant than malicious... and the Indian people are much more measured in their response to a tragedy.... Salute!!

Hmmm.... more trouble than it's worth to moderate comments I think... but the invitation to share a pitcher of beer or bottle of whiskey is sincere!!!
Thanks for turning me on to your thoughts and reflections.

Is Flat World only for IT people?

Recently when I visited my Aunty in Pune, she was complaining about the youngsters who are working in IT companies. It seems these young kids inflating the prices in the city. Pune is emerging as a new IT hub for many multi nationals and Indian Software giants due to various reasons. The climate is very conducive for international clients. Adequate water supply and electricity favours the industries. Connectivity from Mumbai through an international standard Express Highway can take you to the city in 2 to 2 and half hours. Previously Pune supposed to be an industrial city, now becoming an IT hub due to various drawbacks of Bangalore, Chennai and Mumbai. I read some survey about the highly developing cities in India which has the top 2 positions with Gurgaon and Pune. Coming back to the spending habits of IT people, it is certain that people working in other sectors affecting because of this. Real estate businesses are soaring; even tomato and brinjal prices are hiked in these cities. ...
