Yes India, you are being watched by the rest of the world. You are being watched by neighbours, many of whom have never tasted democracy, many who have suffered under military rule and dictatorships!

You are being watched by China, who have ruthlessly cracked down on dissidents and protestors, mowing them down with bullets and tanks!

You are being watched by princely ruled kingdoms, who till lately didn’t even allow a woman the right to drive a car!

You are being watched by nations who allow only those of one particular religion to hold office!

By America which boasts itself of being the world’s largest democracy and looks enviously at you as you shout you are the world’s largest!

By Russia, which has a strong man breaching electoral rules so he can continue ruling for a few terms more!

By England, whose rulers many decades ago, ne’er thought you’d last as a nation!

Yes, India you are being watched! 

Suddenly all eyes of the world are focused on whether this blanket thrown over one state, is actually smothering the people, that not a squeal or shriek is heard from under those heavy covers!

Suddenly all eyes of the world are wondering why a country that boasted of allowing each citizen to follow the religion of his choice, now is answerable to laws who question his right to choose which god to follow!

Suddenly the eyes of the world wonder why some in the country can’t tolerate another’s eating habits and have banned those items from their neighbours tables!

Suddenly the eyes of the world look askance at the number of women who are finding the country unsafe as they are stripped and raped in every city and town!

Suddenly the world asks, how a billion and a quarter people say that all’s well, as they feel their economy sliding, jobs dwindling and food dwindling!

Yes India you are being watched!

It’s during times of victory that the world watches how a victor behaves! Is he gracious to the loser, or is he vicious and vindictive?

It’s during times of victory that strong politicians turn to become great statesmen. It’s during times of electoral victories that gentleness and softness show the strength of a party and leader!

Yes India, today, the world watches and today we can, in this giant arena called India, show the world what we really are, not through brute force, not through the use of arms and muscle but by showing compassion, clemency and calm, all the emotions that the land of Yoga should exude.

We are being watched India, let us rise to the occasion and be worthy of such a close scrutiny..!

By Maneesha Nath

So it’s time to clear out few confusion and doubts.

BB cream and CC cream are not the same. Its two different products meant for two different purposes.

BB Cream: Beauty Balm is more like a foundation but with SPF.

CC Cream: Color Corrector which acts like a concealer.

Now the question is, are there any differences between a Foundation and a Concealer? Oh yes there is!

Concealer is used to hide blemishes, scars etc. and is used in a small area around it. Whereas Foundation evens out your skin tone and is used in the entire face.

Still wondering what to do with your dark circles?

Get a concealer and apply it under your eyes and then blend it well with your foundation and you will see the change.

With this, I hope all you beautiful girls are clear with your doubts. So keep smiling and stay tuned for another exciting topic in our next edition until then love yourself, spread happiness and take good care of yourself.

High Court Judge: Explain why you kept ‘War and Peace’ at Home?

Times of India 29th Aug

 “Can I borrow a book from your collection Bob?”

“No!” I squeak, “I have no books at home. I don’t know how to read. See, I can’t read what bus is coming down the road. What are those things on the glass?”

“That’s the number of the bus!”

“Oh! Oh! Thank you!”

“Bob, I just want a good book, like…”

“No!” I shout, “What is the meaning of what you just said?”

“Book?”

“Yes, I don’t know what that word means! Is it some kind of food?”

“Yes, food for the brain!”

“Brain? I don’t have any brain to feed!”

“That seems obvious Bob, but what’s got into you, all I want to do is to come home and borrow a..”

“Don’t say the word!” I plead, “Don’t say that word. I don’t want to go to prison! No! No! I love life too much!”  

“But Bob, I remember coming to your home and seeing your huge collection of…”

“No!” I shout.

“Okay, I won’t say the word, but I’ve seen that you’re quite a reader, all I want is to borrow Freedom at Midnight!”

“You’re under arrest!”

“For what Inspector sahib?”

“Do you have such a book at home? You want to create problems at midnight? You want to start insurgency here? You want to engage in terror activities, you want…”

“No, no, no Inspector sahib!”

“I heard him telling you! You want to create problems at midnight for our country? You coward, you cannot face us during the day, but you want to do anti-national things at midnight? Does he have any other kind of anti-national literature?”

“I think I saw…”

“No!” I shout, “Don’t tell him anything! I will be hanged!”

“What else does he have?”

“I think he has To Kill a Mockingbird sir! I think I saw it on his bookshelf!”

“Aha!” shouts the inspector, and shouts into his phone, “Please send me twenty men, I think, we have a terrorist here. He has got books on how to kill in his home. Bring an armoured truck…”

“No!” I scream.

“What’s wrong Bob?” asks the wife as she switches on the light, “You were screaming, did you have a nightmare? You shouted something about prison? Did you commit some crime?”

“No!” I whisper, “No crime, no punishment, no war, no peace, no books..!”
