Can a Father Murder his own daughter?

Today, 24th May, 2008 is a 14 year old's birthday and she would have been very happy over this. No one in this world would ever expect this to happen. How could this ever happen to such a young girl. Well i am talking about DPS Girl Aarushi Talvar, who every one now is aware of. It would have been the most luckiest day of her life but turned out the worst.

Our main topic of discussion here is can a father murder his own daughter. Its hard to imagine specially in India with such strong cultural and moral values. The Noida Police recently reported that Dr. Rajesh Talvar was behind the murder of his daughter and also the servant. But is it possible? The police has claimed it as an honour killing, but thinking logically its very hard to digest. Looking in history you will be amazed to know that this actually can happen. There is a recent case of England where a Muslim father murdered his 24 year old daughter owing to the affair she was having.

"A devout Muslim who murdered his 24-year-old daughter after discovering her "secret" boyfriend has been jailed for life.
Faqir Mohammed, 69, flew into a rage when he came home from evening prayer in June last year to find his daughter, Shahida Perveen Mohammed, with a boyfriend in her bedroom.
Manchester Crown Court heard Mohammed stabbed Shahida 19 times in the head and stomach.
Sentencing him, Mr Justice Field described it as a "dreadful crime" and only a sentence of life imprisonment was appropriate. Mohammed, was described in court as a "strict Muslim", and the defence tried to argue he had been provoked into murdering his daughter."

Another incident follows where a man murdered his daughter over an XBOX Console. "A man who played video games for hours each day has been convicted of killing his 17-month-old daughter when she pulled out his Xbox console." - SKY News. Yes, its very hard to digest but true. You might argue that most of these were based outside India so its inapporiate of compare the cases with this one.

Let us look into the detail, according to me its very hard to digest Aarushi having an affair with a 45 year old man Hemraj who has children and grandchildren. Its not easy to visualize this fact even though in India we have a history with affairs with caretakers or servants. In this case its simple not possible. Another fact that has been brought is that Dr. Rajesh Talvar was having an affair with his colleague and that Hemraj was trying to blackmail. But even if Hemraj and Aarushi knew about this. Can you justify killing your daughter if you have a extra marital affair. Why would he kill only his daughter and servant and not his wife. The Noida Police(already slow in solving cases) is unable to answer these questions.

A news channel also reported that Dr. Rajesh Talvar is linked to be Mayawati(in case if you dont know she is currently UP's Cheif Minister) and tried to cover up things with the police. But what happened now. Was there a negotiation problem? Is the police so lost and so poor in solving such cases. If it is so what is the use of police then. There is no answer for this.

We can just analyse that owing to the pressure from media and state government to find a possible solution, the police had no choice but to declare Dr. Rajesh a murdered with very vague evidences. Even if he confesses in court that he was the one who committed this shocking act its very hard to digest.

The truth is there with the murdered and God.....Today being Aarushi's birthday, I would like to wish her whereever she is....May your soul Rest In Peace.....and may the real culprits be brought in public for committing this brutal crime.

Mess Food

Mess Food – An Analysis of an Engineer(to be)

It was in first year that I had the first bite of the “very famous – mess food”[J]. It is generally known for the state of the art technology used in preparation and the Chinese mess food people. The first dish I got to have I still remember was the best you can imagine. Its 2 years since them and the menu is the same and so is the same quality. I guess some things never change….

Dish1: Dal, Rice, Onion(salad), Roti and plate and spoon and of course water. The very first look at the dal I thought it must be so so (after all the colour was matching). The moment I actually put in the serving spoon to take it I actually analyzed it was nothing but coloured yellow water. I was amazed that nothing actually came into the plate except water. Even soups are better than this. I was actually wondering how do you take it in. Then came in the rotis. Oh god what do you comment on them seems like oil in our country is free. It was already wet in oil and the moment the Chinese/nepali mess guy gave it to me my whole plate got wet. I was simply amazed still Engineers are known for flexibility I had a bite at it. The moment I tried a piece of roti with the dal nothing actually came. I repeated the same step about 4-5 times just like a for loop in a computer program. But unfortunately the output was the same not even the colour came on the roti. As they say “Majboori ka naam Mahatma Gandhi” I had to take that bite. It took me about 5 mins to eat one roti. Now came the turn of the so called “sabzi as they call it”. It was Aloo matar – Mess or rather I should say UP is famous for potatos. “Har cheez mein aloo” I guess in a few days we would start looking like “aloos”. Sometimes I wonder potatoes in Uttar Pradesh are free maybe that’s why they have potatoes in every dish. How can I forget the rice. I had heard of Basmati, Kohinoor and I don’t know what. But what rice is actually I got to know in the mess. We have a special rice quality imported from (that’s a secret). Its white in colour and the size of a rice piece is about 3 cms. Its really a treat for anyone who hasn’t tried it yet. I guess each and every person should try this sort of state of the art food prepared by the “famous Sanjeev Kapoor trained chefs”.

Rating: 0.9/10…0.9 for managing the colour of Dal.
