I was reading a blog post that was making fun of special prosecutor, Ujjwal Nikam who flashed the V sign as he left the court. Their claim is that even a school kid would have got the same judgement. I couldnt help but laugh at the viewpoint.
The very fact that a trial of such grave crime, took such a long time, kind of pokes fun at our entire judicial system. In a bid to ensure pure justice, we have gotten ourselves into a tangle of petitions and escalations. We are just too soft hearted to put down an iron fist when needed, which actually explains the crime rate we face in India.
How many islam countries would actually have been investing in a 5Cr anda cell and a year of investigation for something as straight forward as this ? It is ridiculous to have been giving a terrorist so many rights.
To top it, there are certain people who dont believe in “punitive justice” but only “reformist justice”, that makes me speechless. Their cause may be right but we are not talking about a child who stole candies here.
I think the V sign he flashed depicts his victory over our generosity and benevolence shown to criminals. Justified indeed.

I have been caught a couple of times for zig zag trail in my car, but getting caught for drunken flying is taking it to a whole new level. 28 pilots have been found to have consumed alcohol prior to flying the planes, and kingfisher, being true to its name tops the list. Actually speaking, i know a few people who go drunk to their work place, but the worst damage they can do is to write code that is illegible to the computer. I have heard stories of surgeons who take a peg or two prior to performing their acts. While the near ones are praying outside the theatre, our hero would be busy gulping down some vodka and see the world in different shades.
Why they do it ?
1. You tend to get more gutsy to face the world
2. The world starts appearing better and beautiful
3. It is indeed thrilling, and you no more are a mere mortal
4. You feel more in control, though quite hypocritic
5. You dont get caught, unless some wise guy orders a sudden audit
What can be done to curb it ?
Actually speaking, I dont think it can be curbed.
Am waiting to see, if these pilots get to fly again ! If they do, they would do nose dives again for sure !
