“My after school experiences”

My entry into a college after I had completed my school education was an important event in my life. I felt very much excited on the very first day. I found that there is a great difference between school and college life. The world of the school is narrow and limited. The world of the college is large. Teachers in a school are strict and use the rod to beat the boys very frequently. College teachers are like elder brothers.
Most of the teachers in a college live in the world of ideas and books. We have students of all kinds in a college. They discuss the current affairs, art, cinema and sports. Some of them neglect text books but they do not miss the daily newspaper or the running commentary of a cricket match going on in some part of the world. Some of them would even engage the teachers in class in a political topic and discuss it fully.
There is a lot of freedom in the collage in the school I was busy from the first period to the last. But in the collage I attend classes for three or four periods. Ever being late for the classes is not punished.
College life has given a lot of political awareness; I have also got good grounding in electioneering. The elections to the college union, for which there a lot of canvassing gave me my first experience of democracy. Sometimes Political leaders come address us important problems facing the country. Then I felt that I was not only a college student but also a citizen of the country.Some time there are strikes in the college. The strikes are engineered by some senior students who are either punished or find for misbehaviors. They want their fines to be remitted but the principal would not accept their demands. So they would force other students to go on a strike and paralyze teaching work. This looks like Trade Unionism. I do not like this. I like the college life for it’s for its freedom, intellectual awakening and its various academic and extracurricular activities. I think that even after completing my education, I shall never forget the happy days I spent in the college.

44 Days Of Hell – The murder story of Junko Furuta

Image
Junko Furuta was a 16 year old Japanese girl who underwent 44 days of rape and torture before dying in the hands of her captors on November 22, 1989. Known throughout Japan as concrete-encased high school girl, the case of Junko Furuta drew nationwide attention owing to sheer brutality the girl had to endure before death found her. Junko Furuta Story: Junko Furuta attended a high school in Misato, in Saitama Prefecture, Japan. She was a good looking, active teenager who enjoyed a lot of attention and that made some people jealous. She did not smoke, did not drink alcohol and did not do drugs which was seen as very uncool in the eyes of more gangster like teens. One of them – Hiroshi Miyano had a crush on her but not looking for a relationship, Junko Furuta turned him down. Hiroshi Miyano was the bully in the school and being involved with the new generations of the Yakuza, nobody dared to oppose him. And Junko Furuta had the nerve to say “No”… On November 25, 1988

The Gorkhas, Migrant Nepalis and India

The Nepali-speaking Indians are fighting for their identity in India under the banner of the Gorkha which puts them at odds with Nepali migrants in northeast India.          REDIRECTED TO BLOGMANIAC PANDA   Shyam Prasad Pokharel, a migrant Nepali coal mine labourer in Jaintia Hills, Meghalaya JUN 05- During the course of my week-long stay in Shillong (and other parts of Meghalaya and Assam) I interacted with many Gorkhas and Nepalis both in their homes and offices. Some of them came to see me at the guest house in Jhalupara where I was staying. Jhalupara neighbourhood resembles most Nepali towns where Narayan Gopal blares at the music kiosk and youths playing Counter Strike video game scream Nepali expletives. A person I was meeting at the guest house called me beforehand to ask an unexpected question: “Do you think you are being followed by the Meghalayan intelligence?” The person had more questions later when we met: Why do you think Nepalis are harassed in Megh
