Special Syllabus In Schools

Should we have special syllabus in schools? 

Delhi rape incident has shook the entire nation. People are hitting roads across the country demanding justice to the victim by hanging the guilty at the earliest. Yes, the victim will get justice with that (lets presume) but will it ensure that no such incidents take place in near or later future? May be yes, to some extent. While supporting stringent laws and more than capital punishment to the rapists, let us also demand something else wherein girls/women should not be in a position to seek justice. Such justice should be given well in advance not to victims but every woman for that matter. How will that be possible?

Andhra Wishesh tried speaking to many eminent educationists, feminists and social activists over women safety. All of them had one point in common-instil better morals among the people when they are in schools itself. Interestingly, we found that their point had so much of merit. Why not come out with a special subject - Women Studies at the school itself, they questioned.

These are some important topics that can be included in Woman Studies at school level:

• Importance of women in all mythologies
  
• The pain and risks mothers undergo during their pregnancy
  
• The way mother converts her blood into milk to feeds the baby for months together
  
• Heinous crimes that took place across the globe
  
• Punishments that every country implements over various offences against women
  
• Educating that dowry is a crime and could not be treated as a social norm/tradition
  
• Women are not tools of pleasure
  

Only when this subject is included in schools, all school going children will get complete knowledge as to how woman/girl should not be treated. Parents should not just focus on their children becoming business magnates, doctors or engineers but aim at designing their children into perfect people. Never skip an hour 'moral science' class/lecture to your son only to devout the same time towards some math or science.  Andhra Wishesh strongly advocates this ideology. Are you with us?

Clever Ploy By High Command

Two member team, clever ploy by high command: Politicking Wishesh 

Hope you are enjoying your special exclusive from Wishesh. We try to bring out how the public like you & me feel about the present happenings. This is just to bring out the lighter side of the issue and no harm is intended to anyone. This section includes gossips from the grapevine for reader enrichment. Do send in your comments or criticism for us to give you the best.............................................(Wishesh AarKay)  

 

Two member team,clever ploy by high command:  As per the directive of the high command, each party must send two delegates to debate over the issue of Telangana formation at the all-party-meet on December 28.

While many wanted the Party leaders (chiefs) to be called in, the central party never named the members who need to attend the meet. Many leaders from the T region, other than the Congress expressed that this meet was only a gimmick of the high command to garner votes for FDI in Retail.

However critics feel that this meet might not be the end of the road, due to this two delegate format. TRS will be the only party that shall send two members who are to insist the T formation. Most other parties would send leaders from the either region who express the people's opinion of that particular region and then it is sure to be divided. This only will put the issue on the cross roads as usual. A good plan to show the public about the discrepancies of the oppositions and neat way to wash the hands off the issue too.

On the other hand, if only the party presidents were called than things would have been different and would have put them in embarrassing moment. By this innovate formula Congress saves itself from embarrassment and even helps the party leaders from saving their skins. A convenient way to pose a uniform win-win situation. The meet benefits everybody uniformly while sidelining the  actual issue.

 
 

Be positive: Jana: Any media person approaching the Panchayatiraj Minister Jana Reddy and questioning him about the outcome of the December 28, all-party-meet, is sure to be surprised over the optimism expressed by the senior Congress man from Telangana.

The leader is totally reluctant to even think about a possible negative outcome at the meet. He feels the meet is sure to find a solution to the impending problem. OMG! This man is a tough minded optimist.....

 

Kakatiya rule reminds of unified Telugus: Vijayawada Congress MP Lagadapati Rajagopal, is one man in the political circle, who leaves no stones unturned to hog limelight, even at the expense of  others. His controversies and statements that have raised the mercury levels at times will always remain fresh in the public memory, as one supersedes the other before the last one fades out.

Reacting to his absence at the Kakatiya celebrations in Warangal,  the MP recalled that Kakatiya's rule was the golden period of the state when all Telugu people flourished unitedly. He added that if he was to go there, then he is bound to speak out his mind over the issue and that would irk a few who cannot swallow the bitter truths.

Imagine there were some incidents of stone pelting at the CMs convoy yesterday when he went to participate in the celebrations. What would have happened if this Vijayawada MP was also present on the scene?

 

End Of The World 2012

End Of The World 2012 parties soar 

With the advent of social networking, the globe has shrunk further and may be further into a small village. By this we mean that everything becomes accessible to everyone from any point on the globe to any point too.  The recent unwanted hype over the End Of The World 2012 or the Doomsday on 21-12-12 seems to have caught up the flare and is raging among the youth and students. Most students preferred to stay at home and youth are partying.

Well what is the benefit of such unnecessary hypes is that traders do profit from surge in demand  most times. Liquor sale is one thing that has caught up soaring since yesterday. Gulping down more pegs to keep off from fear of the day. May be tomorrow is sure to be another day of rejoice for having survived the horrible day.

Most bars and party corners have been booked by event managers who have equally encashed this opportunity. Many parties are held across the metros to make room for these sulking people who would like to rejoice as though this is the last day on earth. Analysts feel that this is one trend that is found across the globe on the New Year eve.

Now pessimists express that with so much partying, will it be a dampened New Year bash this year. The trade analysts feel that this is just another day to rejoice and will have no impact on the year ending celebrations. On the whole this year the December figures are to touch the skies with two celebrations globally for the liquor segment. (Wishesh AarKay)

 

Delhi Gang Rape

Delhi gang rape: Enough is enough

 

The horrific gangrape of the 23 year old medical student in Delhi outraged the nation so badly that no other news is seem to be important in the country right now. People from all the four corners of the country expressed their agony and the social networking sites are filled with demands for capital punishments for the savage goons who committed this heinous crime. The latest development over this horrific incident is that the unfortunate victim continues to fight for her life. Doctors treating her say that some of her vital organs ( notably intestine) have been permanently damaged and  has been on ventilator support so far. She has undergone five life saving surgeries as well.

Meanwhile, public demand for accountability and tougher laws including death penalty to those savages took an ugly turn when police had to use water cannons to disperse the crowd mainly comprising the students of Jawaharlal Nehru University protesting outside Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit's house against the terrible incident. The protestors continued to agitate with a slogan "We want equal rights for women” and said any action by the police will not deter them from protesting. One of the protesters called it 'irresponsible' on the part of the police and the Delhi government to have used water cannons. Many protesters also broke barricades and tried to enter Sheila Dikshit's house.

So far three of the accused were produced in a Delhi court on Wednesday and confessed. One of the accused, Vinay Sharma, went on to plead for a death sentence. Vinay Sharma, one of the main culprits is an assistant gym instructor and Pawan Gupta, a fruit seller. They have been sent for custodial interrogation while Mukesh, another goon who was allegedly driving the bus when the crime was being committed, has been sent to Tihar Jail in judicial custody after he agreed to undergo test identification parade (TIP). Mukesh is the brother of another accused Ram Singh, who was on Tuesday remanded to five-day police custody after he refused to undergo TIP.

Vinay and Pawan, however, have refused to undergo TIP, the criminal procedure in which the alleged offender is brought before witnesses and victims for identification. After being produced before Metropolitan Magistrate (MM) Namrita Aggarwal, the trio were sent to court of Metropolitan Magistrate Sandeep Garg for following the procedure for conducting the TIP.

When the judge asked whether they would volunteer to undergo TIP and if not why, Vinay said, "he had beaten up the boy but did nothing with the girl" and went on to say "mujhe faansi de do (hang me)", while Pawan told the court, "I do not want to undergo TIP as I have committed a horrible act". The magistrate after completing the process for the TIP said,"Accused Mukesh has submitted that he wanted to undergo TIP. Police be directed to conduct his TIP on December 20 at 3 pm Central Jail, Tihar."

Almost all the known public figures including Bollywood celebrities to political leaders expressed their sadness over the sorry state of affair in the country that aspires to become a superpower but can't even provide the minimum sense of security to it's own citizens in the national capital. BJP leader Sushma Swaraj is demanding that all the culprits to be hanged within a month and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi has asked Delhi CM Sheila Dixit and union home minister Sushil Kumar Shinde to take the all the necessary actions against those savages.

It seems the fire of protests that is burning the national capital right now is not going to stop soon as there are massive anti rape movement started across all over India. Everybody is saying only one thing ..no more tolerance towards sexual violence against woman...Enough is enough..!

Delhi Gangrape: Government assures tough action 

 The whole nation is outraged over the mind numbing Delhi gang rape case. People from all walks of life is now facing the harsh reality that a nation that aspires to become a superpower can't even provide the minimum sense of security to it's own citizens particularly women from the barbaric goons who have no regard for human life at all.

The latest development over this horrific incident is that the unfortunate victim continues to fight for her life. Doctors treating her say that some of her vital organs have been permanently damaged and  has been on ventilator support so far. The public demand for accountability and tougher laws including death penalty to those savages is now forcing the government to take some severe actions. Well, better late than never...!

In this regard ,Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde has called a meeting of all top Delhi Police officials, while Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit has called meeting of all women groups in Delhi at 6 pm on Wednesday. "I want a consensus among all political parties on whether the Delhi Police and law and order should be under the Delhi government," the Delhi Chief Minister told reporters.

Several public figures including activists and former Police officers have suggested for creating a volunteer force to prevent the rape menace. "Increase police presence overnight, which means from tomorrow re-allocate over 600 PCR vans at vulnerable points at night and those PCR vans must be supported by citizen bodies and civil defence and a woman policeman. We created this kind of a citizen volunteer force, why have those good practices gone," former IPS officer and activist Kiran Bedi said.

Geminid Meteor Shower

AW Tips for watching the Geminid Meteor Shower 

 

 

The news that the stars are going to drop from the sky has reached the far corners of the world already, thanks to the technology. The date has arrived and you are less than 24 hrs away from witnessing a majestic celestial occurrence in the sky, with your naked eyes; the Universe’s own fireworks. They in fact are not stars but the debris from a comet, generally. But this time, the Geminids that would grace the sky without the moon tonight, have their origins from a mystery rock, Phaethon 3200.

The question finally comes down to how equipped are you to watch the meteor shower? What is the best way to make the most of this occurrence? We are here to enlighten you on the same.

Equipment: Unless you want to take pictures there is no need of advanced gadgets of any kind. A bunk bed, some hot coffee, an insect repellant and a reclining lawn chair would be the most luxurious set up you need. For the camera part, you would need an able camera, a DSLR preferably mounted on a tripod, which is set to manual focus at infinity, a smaller aperture f/9 or lower, (bump up the ISO if required), a shutter speed set to bulb or 30 seconds. Pictures would be just magnificent to say the least.

Where: It is best if you can go to the outskirts of the city away from all the pollution for the best experience. But, since the meteors are plenty, as many as 40-50 per hour, you can have a fairly good view even if you are on your roof top. Just make sure there is no direct light on to your eyes. Watch around the Gemini star, Castor which is the radiant point. Google Sky users can wield their smart phones to know the exact location. If you don’t have one, just stare up in the open skies, there are plenty of them all over the sky.

When: Starting at 0:00 hrs tomorrow would be a good time. Though you will have fewer meteors in the first hour, it would allow your eyes to adjust to the dark of the sky so you can see them at their brightest.  They would peak before 5 am in the night. Without the moon disturbing the dark, on a new moon phase, you are all set to get the best of the shower.

With: It is always good to have a friend spot the opposite direction for you and help you cover half the sky. This could also be a family event, adding great fun.

Patience: This is a celestial occurrence and not something you can observe without being patient. Spend at least one hour lying in the sky and wait for the stars to hit you.

Bonus: You can also catch a glimpse of Venus, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn in the sky while watching the meteors.

Thank me and gather your groups to witness this marvel in the sky.

 

Five Things You Didn't Know About Animals

Animals are amazing creatures but some features they possess are so amazing that you can't stop opening your mouth wide open in surprise and awe. Here are a few such animals and the unique facts

1. Wolf: The first picture you get in your head when you talk of the wolf is the howl but have you ever noticed that the howls of wolves never echo; despite their life in the mountains. This is an amazing strategy they developed over the years as a hunting call and communication method. They found the blind spot of acoustics.

2. Orangutans: Orangutan, the human's distant cousin, is extremely playful swinging from branch to branch but not without damage. Every Orangutans has almost half the bones broken at all times in the body on an average. Unless you want to prove that you really are a cousin, don't monkey around.

3.Clams: These molluscs, the shelled invertebrates, are all male when born. (Women, where is your God now? Just Kidding) But this is not a strategy that is pro-evolution and hence clam's have their own share of suffering from the females after a few males decide to turn females, physiologically too. But once a clam turns female, it cannot be undone.

4. Woodpeckers: These fierce and tough looking birds which peck the big barks of the trees are not so tough after all. They have a very soft head that acts as a shock absorber. It is the neck muscles that are tremendously developed, and ripped too probably, which help them in pecking the wood apart from the strong beak. 

5.Elephant: The massive elephant is amazing in several ways, predominantly in size matters. This fact is also about size, like most other related to the elephants. The elephant poop about 220 pounds every day. That's more than the weight of an average built adult human himself and equal to the weight of one baby elephant, which typically weighs from 170-250 pounds.

IT Raids Rock Tollywood

IT Raids Rock Tollywood

Income tax raids rock Tollywood with surprise raids. There is a general fear prevailing across the industry, as to who the next is. In a masive operation nearly fourty or more officials of the department IT raided the celebrities of the industry at their premises in Hyderabad on November 29.

According to sources nearly 40 celebrity residences were raided. The top in the list included noted comedian Dr Brahmanandam, TV shows host and producer Omkar, energetic Udhaya Bhanu, Jhansi Suma, singers Sunitha and Geeta Madhuri. The raids commenced approximately at 2 pm on Thursday (November 29) and extended to late nights. The results of the IT action has not yet been revealed, nor confirmed.

As per reports IT department along with GHMC and ACB swung into action to check the discrepancies in the financial trasnsactions that are more often appearing in media. Some senior filmmakers blame actors and production houses for IT raids as they inflate profit figures and announce them publicly.

On the other hand the IT slab is so high that at times even the righteous would feel sad to part with a major chunk of the hard earned money, feel economists. A viable solution had to be worked out so that every one turns up voluntarily accountable like elsewhere in the world. It may be recalled that in the previous years the I-T sleuths raided many noted cinema personalities like Mahesh Babu, Dil Raju, VV Vinayak, Charmy Kaur etc.

 However it is the tall claims by the producers to attract people to explore their venture has led to this chaos. To check on the realities, the officers seem to have raided the celebrities. Indications also show that this is just the tip of the iceberg.....

Political Animosity In The State

Political Animosity In The State, Courtesy Power Hunger

 

 

 Democratic India is 'for the people, by the people and of the people'....inspite of almost seven decades of independence, politicians seem to realise the actual meaning of the above only during elections. No sooner the ordeal is over the winners are afected by short term memory loss while the losers feel deprived and negelect the same.

Our state is no different either, nevertheless this time the animosity seems to be on the rage with fierce comeptitions from splits. True Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy's YSR Congress party has split from the parent of all parties Congress, while K Chandrashekar Rao's TRS split from an alliance with TDP. Now all the four are vying for power in the general elections scheduled in 2014.

In the process tall claims and taller promises are being made to prove themselves the best alternative. Adding to this the topping of the icing is massive walkathons. While the ordeal in the recent times was started by the Congress Cheif Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy. He travelled by various modes of conveyance to launch his 'Indiramma Baata'.

 But his contemporaries embarked on a more critical walkathons, probably they have all the time to lure the public when compared to the CM who is decked up with hectic schedule. TDP supremo N Chandrababu Naidu embarked on "Vastunna Mee Kosam' and is trekking across the state while showing his multi colours by intermingling with various sections.

 Following him is younger scion of the late Chief Minister YS Rajashekar Reddy, Sharmila who is also on a similar but massive programme, 'Maro Praja Prasthanam.'  The YSR Congress leader took the roads after her sibling was refused bail several times in the disproportionate asets case.

 The TDP veteran took a dig at the TRS Chief whether he could take a walk with him even for a week, as a remark to the former stating that the TDP chief's brain had been deceased earlier. So that confirms that the TRS chief is really not embarking on any walkathons as of now.

In an another controversial statement the YSRCP honrary President Y S Vijayamma at Kukatpally the other day said that the TDP supremo was born on April 20 or 4/20 and in Indian Penal Code 420 means a persons who are dishonest and are cheating by nature. On the other hand TDP supremo has frequently highlighted that Jagan has looted the state and Vijayamma with Sharmila are small time robbers.

 On the whole animosity between the political parties is growing at alarming propositions. However because of this many scams and discrepancies are being unearthed. And on account every body had some bitter past.

This leaves the public in dilemma as to whom to reinstate in the state. While every party has a steady set of followers which almost account to eighty percent of the public, the rest 20 odd percent make the difference. Which way will the vote bank swing? With not much of options at hand what will happen if the one dreaded by you comes to power?...just think before you ink....(Wishesh-AarKay)

Hair Styles For All Seasons

Five impressive hair styles for all seasons 

 

Hairstyles play an indispensable role in terms of making an impressive fashion statement. Be it any color blond, Black or brown a nice hairstyle uplifts a man's personality. Since we are always obsessed with the ways celebrities style themselves it's not uncommon to copy their hairstyle. But if you want to copy it, just remember one thing...do it with style...

1. Boy Bob

From Ashton Kutcher to Brad Pitt to Johnny Depp, some of the Hollywood hunks have an obsession with boy bobs. What’s with the look? It’s a free look that doesn’t need much care. Wear your bob cut neck-length or let them fall on your shoulders just like Christian Bale’s.

2. Pompadour

It’s a style above the rest! Probably Kevin McHale is the perfect pompadour personality. The style rewinds to the 70s; nonetheless it is trendy. A word of caution though:: it works better with a clean shaven look. If you are ready to compromise the beard, your pompadour might just give you the one-off look.

3. Blond Locks

Have curls? Without a second thought, locks are your thing. Even better if your tresses are long enough to sit neatly curled behind your neck! Maybe Orlando Bloom’s ‘Lord of the Rings’ trilogy gives an idea of what you are in for. Colour them blond for a complete chic look.

4. Rocker Mane

First things first: this look isn’t for everyone. It needs innate oomph and loads of attitude. It’s like investing in a Mercedes or Ferrari because the maintenance requires too much effort. But the effort is nothing compared to the wild, rocking Tom Cruise look that women drool over!

5. GQ’Do

Unlike its unusual name, this hairstyle is rather a DIY style easily achievable by a comb and a little pomade. It’s a simple slicked back side part that rests easy and neatly. David Beckham did perfect justice to this style by avoiding a high-shine liquid, and so should you.

Sandy hits the land: New York, Manhattan blacked out

 

 

The hybrid super-storm which is expected to be the biggest storm to hit US has made landfall in the nation creating havoc while it caused power outages dousing parts of New York and inundating Lower Manhattan on Monday. A few parts of New York City were completely blacked out due to the power outages.
