Dye-hard youngsters

A long-pending doubt re-surfaced after reading the cover story on anti-aging in the Sunday edition of the New Indian Express. If I see a senior person who has had a lot of 'touch-up' done to look younger (and ergo, feel younger), should I or should I not vacate my seat for this person if I see him/her standing out of deference to his/her age?

My values would (rather, should) prompt me to get up and offer the seat to the senior. But will that act offend that person who is trying to look and feel young?

Or, should I simply get up when the person is looking and see if he/she takes the seat and feel like an idiot when a much younger person takes it?

Banning blogs

As the saying goes, "People make things fool-proof, but God makes better fools". Access to blogs are banned, but publishing them isn't, as this entry proves.

Cheap Justice

Good friend Balaji's lawyer wife (not that he has any other) is now a gold medallist in CyberLaw. Good for her, not sure if we can say the same for the legal system. She is to receive the medal from a Chief Justice and the event will be followed by lunch.

Let us hope the CJ stays over for lunch and for once, we can truthfully say,

Justice is served.
