Acid Attack Victims

Vidya, a 20-year-old victim of acid attack, died in Chennai early Sunday. She had suffered severe burns and was being treated at the Government Kilpauk Hospital.

Hospital authorities said she had sustained fourth degree burns which had corroded soft tissues. She was also battling infection for the past four days.

On January 30, 20-year-old Vidya, who was working in an internet browsing centre in Adambakkam, was accosted by Vijaya Bhaskar. Vidya was alone at the centre during lunch time when Vijaya Bhaskar, angry that she had spurned him, confronted her. When he tried to throw a bottle of acid at her, she turned away, and the acid burnt her back. He prevented her from escaping by pushing her down onto the acid splashed on the floor. He then locked the door and escaped

Police had registered a case of attempt to murder. On Sunday morning, the case was amended to murder and registered it under Section 302 of IPC.

Such incidents have become tooo common..It's so disturbing to read.

Just can't imagine how much pain Vidya, the girl here, endured....

Should the criminals who indulge in acid throwing be given the same punishment ??

Few years in jail as a punishment is no compensation for the unbearable pain the victims goes through.

So is it time we think of punishing an acid thrower by spraying acid on him !!

I think so.. 

Helpless situation...

Almost every other state is unaffected by the 2 day strike call by trade unions.

But the highly literate Kerala is different.

The so-called 'God's own Country' relishes strikes..

The inconvenience caused to the common man - who cares about it !!

It's embarrassing if you cannot go to work, especially if others who are staying near workplaces can make it to office..

It gives the impression as if those who cannot make it are taking advantage of the strike call by skipping office..

If the distance to the workplace is more, it becomes risky to take your vehicle out, especially when you hear about even two-wheelers being threatened...

2 days enjoyment

So it's time again for enjoyment.

Tomorrow and day after tomorrow India is celebrating a 2 day strike called by trade unions..
Don't ask what for ! !

Whatever the reasons, even those who first thought of organizing such a protest will know that this is useless.Will achieve nothing for sure..

No value in once sacred relationships

It is difficult to read newspapers these days.Too many disturbing news items.
The most troubling and frequently found are those related to girls getting sexually harassed by their own father.
No words to describe this....
