  A comment on Conversation: If there is so much aid in developing countries, why poverty is increasing in these regions and the industrialized world?

  Dec 21 2012: Corruption..Governance Failure..inadequate funds..money never reaches where it is required, while it is easy money for the corrupt..despite having self sufficient country resources, it all goes down the drain

  Oct 15 2012: subject as a whole, involving relationship, is complicated.. actually its up to people themselves, how complicated they make it..
  
  about experience, i don't know what happened with your relationship, but it seems you have faced something terrible.. NEXT time, be careful

  A comment on Conversation: In the aftermath of war, genocide, or exploitation - Forgiveness helps more than justice.

  Oct 14 2012: forgiving is entirely personal decision and it takes a lot of guts to do so.. but i think war criminals must be tried, apprehended, and punished to the extent of their crime.. what message it would send if they are not punished? you listen to war crime stories and its so horrible, you can't stand it (Bosnian war crimes).. Justice is something that might decrease the pain a little.. If no justice, then people might become revenge seekers themselves, taking matters into their hands..Even more disturbing is that these people might end up in company of wrong counselors..coz your mind doesn't work the same..

  A comment on Conversation: why we fall in love?

  Oct 13 2012: Because we don't know how to "stand" in love.. be firm.. rather people become delusional, emotional enough, rational thinking process his overwhelmed by that feeling...Actual meaning of relationship is subsided...
  
  Distinguish between attraction and love.. sometimes you are in the moment and feel it as love and when you pull out of it, you realize..
  
  Anyway, being more rational and mature is the way to go, i think..just a share, don't know anything really, coz haven't been through this wreck..

• A reply on Conversation: If you have chance to perform a TED talk , what topic you will choose?

  Apr 27 2012: Hi Mathilda
  I agree with the point that a lot of people don't recognize this( because they are in their Comfort zone)..and a lot of people turn a blind eye to whats happening around (because they are not bothered with)..Sometimes they are misled and they get into this trap, and develop wrong views... But i don't agree on the point that we should be OK with "being a tool" for harmonious society...You see wrong, say it wrong, and say it loud enough for others to hear it... It doesn't mean that we should turn to violence or become a violent rebel ... stay peaceful and raise your voice..."Be a tool" for helping others.. :)

  Apr 26 2012: Hi Mathilda
  Well, you have chosen quite interesting field, unlike mine(Business/Finance), which gets a little boring, at times.... When i talk about these topics, its a bit non-academic and reflects more of a political scenario(or you can say, reality)... These topics are kinda interlinked.. and its around us..People are in state of confusion, they don't know what is true and what is false..Leading to prejudice...People are being misled, maybe its part of some social political agenda..by some. Media is playing its part, showing what it wants to and the way they want to...And power is being used to suppress the truth and mislead... I can go on with this, but i think its not the right place and its a bit lengthy :D Sorry if i sound more critical... But i think it needs to be addressed...Hope you understand "mis" now :p
