Polish SC expresses concern about proposed judicial reforms of Govt.

By 861 0

The Supreme Court of the European country of Poland has expressed its concerns about the recently proposed judicial reforms of the government.

The court has warned the Polish government of serious consequences. It said if the proposal was implemented the country would have to leave the European Union.

Meanwhile, the Polish government has dismissed the concerns raised by the top court of the country. It said the country’s judicial system had not yet recovered fully from its communist hangover.

The polish government has justified the proposed judicial reforms as an effort to help the judicial system to recover completely from its communist hangover.

The European country of Poland was under the clutches of communism for several years in the past.

The present government is of the opinion that the country has not yet recovered fully from the clutches of the communist hangover.

The EU has not yet responded to the issue. No European superpower has commented on the issue either.

The confrontation between the Polish government and its judicial system is not a new thing. Since the induction of the present government, it is in a bad relation with the country’s judicial system.

The new proposal allows the government to push with serious punishment including dismissal those judges who, the government thinks, intervenes in the politics of the country.

Russia, China ask UN to free North Korea from economic sanctions

By 1216 0

The European country of Russia and the communist country of China have asked the United Nations to free the iron curtain country of North Korea from the clutches of economic sanctions.

All talks, conducted so far between the US and North Korea to bring peace to the Korean peninsula, have gone unsuccessful.

Russia and China are close partners of North Korea. They always stand with their all-time partner.

The International sanctions make it difficult for Beijing and Moscow to support Pyongyang – which is at present under a severe economic crisis.

Though China and Russia demand a complete removal of sanctions, if the UN gives a slight relaxation to North Korean’s coal, iron, iron ore and textile exports, they may agree without pushing anything further.

North Korea recently upgraded its nuclear capacity further. It asked the US to come up with a feasible agreement within this year.

Actually, Russia and Chine present the new demand as a humanitarian concern. The demand is presented as an effort to improve the standard of living of the people of the iron curtain country of North Korea.

It is yet to see whether the issue will be viewed though humanitarian angle or through security angle by the United Nations – more accurately, the other core members of the UN.

To Sleep: Charlottee Turner Smith

By 1384 0

“COME, balmy Sleep! tired nature’s soft resort!
On these sad temples all thy poppies shed;
And bid day dreams, from Morpheus’ airy court,
Float in light vision around my aching head!
Secure all thy blessings, partial Power!
On his hard bed the peasant throws him down;
And the poor sea-boy, in the rudest hour,
Enjoys thee more than he who wears a crown.
Clasp’d in her faithful shepherd’s guardian arms,
Well may the village girl sweet slumbers prove;
And they, O gentle Sleep! still taste thy charms ,
Who wake to labour, liberty, and love.
But still thy opiate aid dost thou deny
To calm the anxious breast; to close the streaming eye.” – Charlotte Turner Smith

Beautiful is her construction; thoughtful is her lines. Romantic poet Charlottee is nothing less than a legend. No poet conveys emotions better than this beautiful lady.

Her lines have soul; her lines speak to heart directly. There is no place for confusion in her poems. Her poems deliver exactly what they are supposed to convey.

Her poems care little to restrictions. They cannot be confined inside any boundary. They are free.

The freedom her poems enjoy is what that gives wings to them. They fly high. From them, even sky is not a limit.

Let’s take a minute to remember this legend poet.

British media exposes Putin’s fake saviour image

By 1175 0

What Russia wants its citizens to believe is that Vladimir Putin is the solution to all their problems.

Russian media, controlled by the government, often runs glorified stories on how people in the country get chance to appeal directly to their president and get their issues solved.

In the video published by a renowned media house based in the United Kingdom, two different testimonies capable enough to expose the fake face of the Russian president are included.

The first testimony is of a woman live in Khakassia located in Eastern Siberia. In the video, she is seen recounting how her fire-affected village was repaired by the government swiftly when she appealed to the president directly.

Contrary to the first testimony, what the second testimony gives is a different story. The second testimony is of another woman whose husband was jailed by the Putin-led government. Her testimony describes how her husband, a police enforcement officer, was illegally imprisonment by the government on the fake charges of corruption and official secrete revelation for his attempt to expose the nexus between the criminal gangs and the political system though his online handle – unlike the first woman who approached the state-run media to express her grievance.

Finnish minister withdraws controversial comment on social media

By 1136 0

A Finnish minister, Katri Kulmuni, who received serious criticism for her controversial comment regarding the matter of the repatriation of women and children from the Kurdish-led camp for the foreign IS sympathisers in Syria, has withdrawn her comment from the social media handle she maintains in the popular social media platform of Instagram.

She, earlier, through her handle, asked her followers to leave their opinion on whether only children should be repatriated or both mother and children should be repatriated.

At least more than three dozens of women and children in the camp, named al-Hol, are from Finland.

The country’s politicians are divided over whether women live in the camp should be repatriated or not, though there are no dispute among them on the view that children in the camp are the victims of the war against the ISIS and they should be repatriated at the earliest.

The politicians of Finland are worried about the potential damage that can be made to the nation if the radicalised women are simply repatriated without the assistance of a proper deradicalisation process.

The people in the camp live in a very poor condition. They are highly vulnerable to diseases, hunger and many related issues, as they live with limited resources.

Many western countries have already repatriated their citizens from the camp.

UK backs Brexit; it’s proved once again

By 1046 0

Offering a befitting replay to the opposition, mainly the Labour, which tried to create a dark cloud around the matter of Brexit, and extending an assuring hand to the ruling which remains confident about leaving the economic union of European Union in the near future, the electorate of the United Kingdom has offered an astounding victory to the Conservative Party, increasing its number from around 317 to more than 364 – that is, at least 47 seats more than what they secured in the previous election.

Responding to the preliminary trends, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, visibly happy about the way the people of the country has responded his call for support, has promised, giving no space for the growth of any speculation or dark cloud, to take the UK out of the EU in the promised date itself.

The case of the Labour Party is pathetic, with its losses even in its traditional strongholds. The main task before them at this moment is to explain their supporters what that has gone wrong.

Literally, all those who opposed the Brexit have suffered the ire of the electorate. It is evident from the election result. Among those, the Labour, which had no clarity about the topic, is the one which has tasted the bitterest experience.

The United States President, Donald Trump, is the first leader who has come out to congratulate the winner.

He has appreciated Mr. Johnson for his victory and expressed his hope of forging a closer tie with the UK post the Brexit.

He, in his statement, has hinted about the depth of the deal the UK may reach with the US post the Brexit.

Apart from Mr. Trump, several other world leaders like German Chancellor Angela Merkel have congratulated Mr. Johnson.

What the verdict says is simple: The people of the state want Brexit and they want it now itself.

Bright star, would I were steadfast as thou art

By 1361 0

“Bright star, would I were steadfast as thou art –
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like nature’s patient, sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of pure ablution round earth’s human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors –
No – yet still steadfast, still unchangeable,
Pillow’d upon my fair love’s ripening breast,
To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender-taken breadth
And so live ever – or else swoon to death.” – John Keats

Drawing a comparison with star, omitting all its qualities except its steadfastness, is extremely brilliant.

Here star is an unchangeable observer. He carefully and eagerly watches all beautiful things happen around him. His eyes are at snow-filled mountains. And, it is in running waters. He is aware of the purpose for which the aforesaid beauties exist. Yet, he keeps a safe distance from the said things, making sure he does not get trapped inside these beauties. He does not want to get lost in those beauties. What he wants is to stay constant. Importantly, he attempts to remain unchangeable.

Like that constant star, the protagonist wants to stay undisturbed besides his love. His only need is to stay immersed in the love of his love. He enjoys her softness. And, what fuels him is his love’s calm breadth.

UK in poll stations

By 1295 0

Today, it is a big day for the UK. The entire UK is at present in the polling stations across the country to decide who should rule their country in future. Along with the future of the present government, the British people today will also decide indirectly whether the UK should be allowed to pull back from the European Union. In that sense, the ongoing election is the second referendum on Brexit.

All the three main political parties, the Conservatives, Labour and the Liberal Democrats, have attached their campaign close to the matter of Brexit. When the Conservatives has promised a swift withdrawal of the UK from the EU, the Labour has pledged to seek the opinion of the people of the country on the matter of Brexit again in the form of a second referendum on the hope that the ongoing political turbulence may have changed the mind of the people who earlier cleared the Brexit proposal with a narrow margin.

At the same time, the Liberal Democrats have taken an entirely different stand. It has stongly opposed the idea of Brexit and assured the scrapping on Brexit.

As per a preliminary report, no political party is likely to get a clear majority in the parliament in the latest election. The report also predicts the loss of strength of the Conservatives in the election.

At present, the Conservatives has more than 43 per cent vote share in the country and the Labour has less than 34 per cent. And, the Liberal Democrats has over 12 per cent vote share.

If the Conservatives’ strength comes down below the majority line, then the Brexit will be a much harder thing to achieve.

Anyway, speaking to the media personals, British Prime Minister and Conservative leader Boris Johnson has expressed his confidence in winning the election with a huge majority.

Remembering Elizabeth Barrett Browning – How do I love thee

By 1656 0

“How do I love thee? Let me count the ways
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as man strives for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old grief and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints – I love thee with breadth,
Smiles, tears, of all my life – and, if God choose
I shall but love thee better after death.” – Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Nothing defines the concept of eternal love better than these fourteen lines of Mrs. Browning. The poem portrays the depth of Mrs. Browning’s love towards her husband, Robert Browning.

‘How do I love thee’ is one of the truly heart-touching poems the British literature has ever witnessed.

The poem has a soul. It is simple, yet deep. It is eternal. Interestingly, it does not have a defined gender. In that sense, it is universal also.

The deeper you go into the poem, the purer your notion about eternal love becomes. In fact, that is the only thing this poem demands.

What the poet discusses is not the love that can only be experienced physically. Her love transcends everything – including the cycle of death and birth.

What she portrays is a love which is selfless. Her love does not expect praise either. It even fills the usual silence she experiences with her loved one, like it occupies their joyous moments.

Those who have not experienced this poem at least once are real losers. What they have missed is a rare opportunity to feel the taste of eternal love.

Enjoy Reading!
