Would you stay, please?

I don't know

Kate had to tell her pal from down the street, that it was over. I don't think he took it all that well.

Rejection Project with Emily Simon Cosplay

There's a fifty percent chance that you'll face rejection when you ask anyone in public to take their picture and when you're in the midst of the gawkers well the warm and fuzzy feeling of rejection is just that much more fuzzy. Lori was waiting for the Metro and I wasn't sure if she would be good with me asking to take her picture so I was a little nervous when I explained what I was doing and asked if I could do so. You know it's the end of the day and you think people have probably had it with strangers but she obliged quite nicely. It then was I who had to quickly get past the nervousness and pay attention to her shine. Finally on this fourth and last shot I finally clicked with her beam.

ABDLISH DEATH PENALTY I .

Students Against Death Penalty (SADP) is a group of students, .

faculty members, organisations who are against death penalty. It was .

formed in the context of the rejection of mercy petitions of Perarrvalan, .

Murugan, Santhan, Afzal Guru (re,commended by Home Ministry), .

.

. Davinder Pal Singh Bhullar and Mahendranath Das. The SADP has stood in solidarity with the people's movement in Tamilnadhu against the hanging order of Perartvalan, Murugan and Santhan. In solidarity with the indefinite hunger strike by three lawyers in Tamilnadu against the gm .

. September 2011 hanging order, SADP sat on indefinite hunger strike at Jantar Mantar on 281h August, 2011. After the historic judgement of 301h August in which the Madras High Court stayed the hanging order for 8 weeks and the Tamil Nadu assembly unanimously passed the resolution for commuting the death sentence to life imprisonment, SADP invited all organisations and concerned individuals to join in. Till day the organisations which are part of SADP are-AIBSF, AISA, AISF, DTSU, PSU, SFR and other forums such as Coordination Committee for Oppressed Nationalities (CCON), Untouchable India, and many concerned students. The SADP has decided to undertake a campaign for the abolition of death penalty in a sustained manner. In this regard we are going to organise various cultural programmes, public meetings, film screenings and convention.. .

SADP balieves that death penalty is a blot on humanity. "Death Penalty is nothing but a judicially sanctioned murder, executed on a planned date and timet! says Former Justice of Supreme Court V.R.Krishna lver. As many as 132 countries have abolished capital punishment, no matter how awful the crime or how savage the criminal. But India despite priding itself on a highly evolved 'rule of law' system has steadfastly stuck to the punishment. In addition to death penalty, the Indian State has been implementing many draconian laws such as AFSPA, TADA, GUJCOCA, MACOCA, POTA, the notorious tools in the hands of State to kill innocent citizens. But masses are resisting too, Irom Sharmila is an example who has been on hunger strike for more than a decade now. .

Death Penalty Colonial Legacy : Death penalty in India largely figured in British Indian Penal System alon-g with transportation for lite-kala pani. Post-1947 India retained the majority of legal statutes put in place by its colonial master. This included the IPC, 1860 and the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898. India follows the principle of the ~rarest of the rare cases' and claims to be complying with the International Convention on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) wherein death penalty is abolished. rn this context, it is worth mentioning the 35th Report of the Law Commission of India, which is the basis of retention of capital punishment in the statute book. It reads, 'Having regard to the condition in India, to the variety of social upbringing of its inhabitants. to the disparity in the level of morality and education, emergence of terrorism on a large scale in the country and the paramo~nt need for maintaining of law and order in the country. India cannot risk the abolition of capital punishment.' .

Rarest of the Rare a farcical mechanism: The doctrine of 'rarest of rare' case is superfluous as it is vague. There sno uniform guideline for its application. The quantum of punishment varies according to the nature i.e. caste, class of a judge (subjective satisfaction) in awarding 'death' or 'life'. Further, capital punishment is awarded not only in the ~rarest of rare' cases but also on a wide variety of cases. The Indian State is widening its scope to less serious offences which do not even come within the framework of rarest cases. According to Rajindar Sachar, 'after the rarest of rare doctrine was introduced in 1980. the Supreme Court confirmed death penalty in 50 percent of cases in the period 1980-90 while it was 37.7 per cent between 1970 and 1980. For the High Courts it rose from 59 percent in 1970-80 to 65 per cent during 198Q-90.' Over the past 15 years the death penalty has been extended to inctude more crimes and been handed down with increasing frequency. Paradoxically thusl while the 'rarest of !he rare' doctrine was to be used to limit and restrict the use of the mandatory death penalty, it has often done the opposite. The toiling masses, people of oppressed nationalities have almost cent-percent 'reservation' in it. Twelve MCCI members were awarded capital punishments in Sara case whereasBrahameshwar Mukhia. the leader/founder of Ranvir Sena who massacred and raped hundreds of dalits got scot free despite having all evidences against him. The Khairlanji murder accused were awarded death sentence.earlier and then last year it was commuted to 25 years of imprisonment. Anderson, responsible for the murder of thousands of peol\)le in Bhopal Gas Tragedy is shielded by the Indian State. The murderers of more than 2000 Muslims in Gujarat are stm out despite all evidences against them. The 'soldiers in Kashmir who are killing people. get no punishment. Army is raoing women_in Kashmir. Chattlsgarh. Jharkhand, North-East without any fear of punishment. Police·is killing people all over th·e countrv by indisCr-iminately firing on the protesting people, but they never get any punishment-be it the case of Pune, Forbesganj or Tamil Nadt:J-:where 3 days .

back five dalits were killed in potice firing", We have examples of Jhaiiar, Gohana, Mirchpur, Khairlanii, L~xamanp~r.bathe and many others where the killers are never punished. Adivasi and Dalit cultural activists Jeeten Marandi, Anil Ram. Manoj Rajwar an~ Chhatrapati Mandai were given death sentence in the name of curbing 'maoism'. It was proved with all evi~ences~~that Hindu~a terror groups are behind many bomb blasts in the country, but at the end of the dav. nothing happens ·to ,them. It is aon efldless story. .

0 0.

Precisely this was the reason that De Ambedkar was for the abolition of death penalty. " The Indian State~ 'largest democracy' is prepared ~.?r tpepremedrtated and cold~blooded ~iiiLngs of th~se innoceQt lives in the oame of justice, In the name of satisfying the·~c0llectiie"~ conscience' of the_'nation'.

Coping with Rejection: Colin Harvey, Liz Counihan

—Street Art ---from wikipedia

 

Street art is visual art created in public locations for public visibility. It has been associated with the terms "independent art", "post-graffiti", "neo-graffiti" and guerrilla art.[2]

Street art has evolved from the early forms of defiant graffiti into a more commercial form of art, as one of the main differences now lies with the messaging. Street art is often meant to provoke thought rather than rejection among the general audience through making its purpose more evident than that of graffiti. The issue of permission has also come at the heart of street art, as graffiti is usually done illegally, whereas street art can nowadays be the product of an agreement or even sometimes a commission. However, it remains different from traditional art exposed in public spaces by its explicit use of said space in the conception phase.

So despite getting up at 5:30 am on a saturday, rejection awaited us at the fremont watering hole for football (soccer) fanatics. Not to worry, however. The not-featured-in-the-seattle-times Kangaroo & Kiwi was able to deliver, altho we missed the only goal of the game. There, apparently i was determined to be more kiwi than kanga as some cover gay man spent a drunken hour floating gay test after gay test past me. Available for less than 32 hours and the wolves close in! That'd be a lot more fine if they were both my species and age - a sodden middle aged exMSFT man who now helps people out of debt and has taught astrology for 20 years, well, thats a far cry from the sort of lass i'd want to take home to mom. ;) and today is officially the earliest i've ever started drinking. Turning over a new leaf? You bet. Is this an indication of things to come? Nope. Now if you'll excuse me, i have to concentrate on metabolizing as much as i can before my 10 am BJJ class. :)

FOREVER ALONE.

In our country, women are taught to adjust and compromise. We are fed with an idea that it is the woman who has to ultimately make all the compromises and mind you No is not a woman’s word. Haseena Maan Jayegi is usually the idea the brews on guy’s mind. Liking a woman is not the issue but pursuing her even after she said No can turn out ugly. Nobody wants get rejected.
