"Ask them, is this democracy?"

One can only say that he is absolutely liberated when he has a total freedom of expression. He should be able to turn his thoughts into words freely and without fear. However he must also remember that he has no unfettered right or privilege to injure another through his expression of that freedom. Thinking about something, anything, is fine as it does not hurt someone else. But writing is different. The comments he makes, the opinions he writes, must be infused with responsibility and with objectivity. No personal attacks should be allowed. No ridiculing should be permitted. It is this one rule that I have believed in all this long. And it shall remain the one rule that I will adhere in this blog. I do hope all visitors to this blog will find pleasure in reading my comments, opinions and observations. Enjoy reading them and do drop in a line if you wish to say something or leave a feedback.
