BJP, a Party with a difference!
“Today afternoon, RSS Sarsanghchalak, Shri Mohan Bhagwat spoke to Shri Advani and asked him to respect the BJP Parliamentary Board decision and continue to guide the Party in the national interest. Shri Advani has decided to accept Shri Bhagwat’s advice.” –From the Statement of Sri Rajnath Singh, BJP President issued on 11-6-2013 There after, Sri Advani has withdrawn his resignation for the three posts of the BJP he is holding--National Executive Committee member, Parliamentary Board member and Election Committee member.
BJP is not “a party with a difference” and it is just like  Congress in  the sense it is full of leaders having their own personal agendas(as said by Sri Advani himself, opposing elevation of Modi as Convener of the Campaign Committee) said by Advani himself and is full of internal feuds. When in power at the centre or in states, it faced the allegations of corruption like Congress. Like Congress, it wants to carry forward  the economic agenda of liberalisation, privatisation and globalisation for the benefit of foreign and Indian big corporate and which is also the breeding ground for mega scams.
But BJP is a “party with a difference” in that it is controlled by RSS, the organisation whose Nathu Ram Godse killed Mahatma Gandhi and who wants to divide the people on communal grounds and who is responsible for flaring up communal clashes.
Lakes disappearing in Hyderabad
Hyderabad and its surroundings  was home to 3086 lakes, but in reality there are only 100 in existence now.  Ground water once available at less than 30 feet below the soil now went down to a level of 1200 feet below soil.
Greedy builders have encroached even lakes and killed them. Authorities are keeping quiet and allowing it. The greed of capitalist system not only kills people by creation of war, poverty, ill health, unemployment etc but also kills environment. To protect   the human beings and the environment from future catastrophe,  society should  be transformed  from capitalism to a more humane system, socialism.
Women mature at 32, Men mature at 43-Nickelodeon UK Study Report
A study commissioned by the TV channel Nickelodeon UK has revealed that men emotionally mature at 43  and women at 32. Men were almost twice likely to describe themselves as immature than women were, and one in four men believe they are immature. 3 out of 10 women ended a relationship because they lost patience with their men’s immaturity. 46% of the female participants in the survey had a relationship in which they had to mother their male counterpart. Women claimed they actually had to tell their man to “act his age” on an average of 14 times a year, more than once a month. Women yearned for communication. One quarter of women wished their partners would talk about themselves and what they felt more often. Women also felt they were the ones that made all the important decisions in their relationships. 40 per cent of people said they thought immaturity was an important component in keeping relationships fun and fresh, and 33 percent said the immaturity helped when bonding with kids. Some of the maturity failings experienced by women in the men are—eating fast food at 2 AM, playing video games, driving too fast, finding rude words amusing, finding their own passing of gas and burping amusing, driving with loud music, playing practical jokes, trying to beat children at games and sports, staying silent during an argument, not being able to cook simple meals etc.
It is said that these findings are reaffirmed with previous studies on the pre-frontal cortex (PFC) of human brain which is just behind the forehead and is responsible for a lot of men’s short comings. The PFC is called as the “CEO of the brain” or “mother”. This part of the brain controls cognitive analysis, abstract thought, and corrective behavior in social situations.  Research has revealed that brain development process occurs from the back to the front and the male brain PFC maturation is not complete until the age 25, whereas the female brain PFC matures at 21. The slowness of men’s brain maturation explains the maturity failings and their own recognition of those failings.

 Is the maturity difference between men and women is simply only due to genetic and biological factors or  whether patterns of behaviours  imposed differently on men and women by the society play a role in this? I think another research is necessary to find out the pattern of behavior of women and men in matriarchic societies (when the society was dominated by mother, not father) and patriarchal societies existing now where the father dominates society and mother became submissive.
