Hinduism, in its Sastras , says that one should not look at while a woman is eating, sleeping and the Place where food is cooked.
Women tend(ed?0) to eat less after providing for the family depending on the availability of food cooked,a woman while sleeping may either arouse one or may be dresses up , well, not too attractive to look.
Sausage from Poop
And the place where food is being cooked is because women at times make food available with ingredients(in poor families) which people in the house hold may not eat or at times the place would not look too clean.
But would they have imagined that one day people would eat Feces!

Bacteria from baby poop can help make delicious sausages, which could transform savory meats into health foods much like probiotic yogurts, according to new research.
For millennia, cultures across the globe have relied on microbes to help create a dazzling variety of foods and drinks. The most familiar examples are the yeasts used to make wine, beer and other alcohol.
Bacteria and yeast ferment sugars in foods, generating acids, gases and alcohols. Bread gets its spongy texture from bubbles of carbon dioxide released by fermenting yeast; cheese, pickles and kimchi traditionally often got their sharp taste via fermentation as well.
In addition, many types of sausages — including pepperoni and salami — are made with the aid of bacterial fermentation, which helps give these sausages their characteristic tangy flavor and, in many cases, their chewy texture and intense red color. [Poop Sausage & Pee Drinks: 7 Gross ‘Human’ Foods]
The situation in Kiev is turning worse despite President’s ‘Truce’
Photo Essay and Video.
Harrowing footage has emerged which shows a group of anti-government protesters being picked off by special force snipers while progressing through Kiev’s Independence Square.
As medics try to attend to the victims, the snipers continue to fire shots at the group.
The footage comes just hours after Ukraine President Viktor Yanukovych declared that he had reached a “truce” with the opposition.”

Fierce clashes continued on the bloodiest day of the unrest with BBC reporting at least 22 dead so far. Twenty six were killed yesterday.
The Ukrainian opposition and at least 10 pro-government MPs have called for an emergency parliamentary meeting as a conclusion to the unrest is sought.
Carl Bildt, the Swedish Foreign Minister, tweeted that there is “no doubt live ammunition used” by government forces in Kiev clashes in what is a “truly alarming development”.
Many are not even aware of the States in the North eastern Part of India,which in a paternalistic way called as the Seven Sisters of India.
Indian media wakes up on the issues of the North east when there is an insurgency activity, election, Rape or a Corruption case erupts up.
Many students from the North East study in Indian Universities, especially in the South, like the Manipal Group of Institutions in Karnataka ,Bangalore and Anna University in Tamil Nadu.
The students do not get the same treatment as the other Students.
In fact in some campuses thee are separate Mess facilities for them.
In Hostel room allocations, these students are grouped together.
They do not get a chance to mingle with the other students,
On their part the North Indian Students do not make an effort to mingle with the others.
There is also a (mis) conception that they are untrustworthy.
The students who stay out side the Hostel do not even get accommodation easily.
In the unfortunate case of a Girl from the North East getting molested, there seems to be no action unless the students resort to strike.
Unless we assimilate them we can not complain that they are being mistreated by India,
Time for us to ponder and mix with them freely without waiting for the Government to announce some useless paper schemes only to make money by politicians.
Girl from Manipur raped
Story:
I first discovered that ‘we’ were seen as ‘different’ when we moved to Chandigarh. I was 16, and rather surprised when we were visited at lunchtime by Mrs. Khunjoo , who lived in the next apartment. Surprised because we don’t generally expect visitors at lunchtime. Certainly not visitors who spring lithely over the balconies as Mrs Khunjoo did.
“Will you have lunch” my mother , ever hospitable asked her, the first time she manifested.
“No no sister,” she said. “i just want to see.”
“What do you want to see?”,I asked.
“No, please , just what you are eating ?”
She advanced upon our table. My Mother uncovered our serving dishes. She stared at it like some mystery was to be uncovered.
“Arre!” said Mrs Khujroo. “Rice? Dal?”
We do these things. We eat rice and dal but Mrs Khujroo was hoping that she would see something exotic.
“Do people from Nagaland really eat dogs?” asked my landlady when she first learnt that I was from the North East. She was offended when I walked out of the room. Mrs Vaidya (named changed to protect the innocent, namely me) failed to even realise that what she said could be offensive. Mrs Vaidya represents mainland India’s opinion about the seven states of North East India. But at least she has given me a place to stay. Many other North-Eastern students have been turned away because they don’t “look like us”. The other thing is institutional. Don’t believe it? Consider this.
One of India’s proudest moments was at the opening ceremony of the XIX Commonwealth Games. It was one of those moments when one feels proud to be part of such a great Indian Union. The Indian contingent marched in led by Abhinav Bindra proudly carrying our Indian flag. Before him, the signboard holder was wearing the Mizo tradition Puanchei dress. Such a proud moment for the North East to be finally recognised at a event of this scale.
The very next morning the Times of India front page had a photograph of the Indian contingent. “All the teams were led out by girls wearing saris in different styles, except for the Indian team, which was heralded by a girl in a Naga dress.” So much for a “knowledgeable” leading daily.
No North Eastern student in a mainland metropolitan city would be surprised by this sheer ignorance. It has become a part of their lives and an accepted fact that they do not belong here. Nor has the mainland made them feel like they’re part of this country. Hundreds of students come every year from the North East to seek admission in Delhi University. The joy of seeking admission is often cut short by the difficulties faced in the capital. Racial discrimination, language barriers, sexual harassment and trouble finding accommodation are only some of the numerous problems.”

A Khap Panchayat called by Bhagwant Singh(President), Bhartu Rathi(Secretary), and Dhiraj Tokas (husband of Counsellor) from Munirka has ordered the landlords in Munirka area to evict all the tenants from North East within 3 months, as per tweets by Bina Nepram ( twitter ID @BinaNepram), noted activist from Manipur.
Also, there is Facebook update status message by here , sent to us by Twitte handle @Jorebungley.
This Facebook update reads,
The matter was first reported last night by What’s Up Darj ? and was subsequently reported by TheDC [Details here: http://goo.gl/xni0Yn%5D.
TheDC has also come to know that those who called for Khap Panchayat are relatives of Ashish Tokas alias Vicky who has been arrested on the charges of raping a 14 year old child from Manipuri. Following the threat, concerned people from North East are currently gathering at the Vashant Vihar Police Station.
TheDC team and people of Darjeeling strongly condemn this RACIST act and request the Central and Delhi governments to take appropriate action against the perpetrators.
After tragic killing of Nido Tania, supposedly in a racial attack on 29 Jan 2014, students and activists from North East India have been protesting against racial discrimination in Delhi.
This incident has not been picked up by mainstream media yet.

Provided that in the case of any sentence (other than a sentence of fine) passed on a male person above the age of eighteen years, no such petition by the person sentenced or by any other person on his behalf shall be entertained, unless the person sentenced is in jail, and,—

(b) in other cases the Government of the State within which the offender is sentenced or the said order is passed.
But this does not mean that the Government can do it easily.
In the present case the case has been under TADA and the judgement was based on this and the case was investigated by the Delhi Police under Delhi Special Police Establishment Act .
This makes the Center’s consultation mandatory.
Even if the State wants to ahead with its view despite the Central Government’s objections, it can not as , though Police comes under the State List, it can not supercede Central Law such as TADA in this case.
“
The State List consists of 66 items. Uniformity is desirable but not essential on items in this list. The State legislature has exclusive power to make laws on these subjects. But in certain circumstances, Parliament can also make laws on subjects mentioned in the State list. Though States have exclusive powers to legislate with regards to items on the State List, articles 249, 250, 252, and 253 state situations in which the Union Government can legislate on these items.[2]

There is an exception to this in cases “where a law made by the Legislature of a State with respect to one of the matters enumerated in the Concurrent List contains any provision repugnant to the provisions of an earlier law made by Parliament or an existing law with respect to that matter, then, the law so made by the Legislature of such State shall, if it has been reserved for the consideration of the President and has received his assent, prevail in that State. Provided that nothing in this clause shall prevent Parliament from enacting at any time any law with respect to the same matter including a law adding to, amending, varying or repealing the law so made by the Legislature of the State.”

The government in India’s Tamil Nadu state has decided to free seven people convicted of plotting the assassination of former PM Rajiv Gandhi.
The six men and a woman were members of the Sri Lankan Tamil Tiger rebel group.
The move came a day after the Supreme Court commuted the death sentences of three of the convicts, citing delays in deciding their mercy pleas.
Gandhi’s murder in May 1991 was seen as retaliation for the sending of Indian peacekeepers to Sri Lanka in 1987.
The decision to free the prisoners was taken on Wednesday morning at a cabinet meeting chaired by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalitha.
Ms Jayalalitha told the state assembly later that the government would send the cabinet decision to the federal government for approval.
“If there is no reply within three days from the centre, the state government will release all the seven… in accordance with the powers vested with the state government,” she said.
Among the prisoners to be released are the three men whose death sentences were commuted on Tuesday by the Supreme Court – Murugan, Santhan and Perarivalan. They have been in jail for more than 20 years and on death row since 1998.
The court ruled that they should be spared the death sentence as it was inhumane to keep them for so long under the threat of execution.
Nalini Sriharan, an Indian Tamil woman who will also be released, was also given the death penalty by the trial court in 1998, but the authorities commuted this to life imprisonment in 2000.
Three other convicts – Robert Pious, Jayakumar and Ravichandran – who are serving life sentences for involvement in the assassination would also be among those freed, authorities said.
Crux of the reasoning by the Supreme court is the inordinate delay by the President on the Mercy petition submitted to him by the accused.
The Presidents have slept deliberately fearing electoral repercussion to the ruling Party.
The wanton delay/indifference is about to set the convicts free.
There is also an orchestrated campaign casting aspersion on the nature of evidence against the Convicted.
All these issues have resulted in making a mockery of Judgment awarded.
So if one, who is condemned by Hanging, wants to become free,he needs to file a Mercy Petition, take care of the Powers that be and one will get freed.
In the present case the worst point is that this issue has triggered a crisis of sorts between the Center and the State. with Tamil Nadu declaring that The State Government will unilaterally set the convicts free, if the Center does not release them with in three days.
J.Jayalalithaa quoted section 432 of State’s powers on this issue!
With elections arounfd the corner Justice is a Casualty!
Rajiv Killers to be free?
Story:
The Tamil Nadu government has decided to release seven people convicted in the assassination of former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi, including Nalini Sriharan, in a politically loaded move that is likely to set off a battle for credit ahead of the national election, due by May.
Chief Minister Jayalalithaa’s cabinet met this morning and decided to free the convicts a day after the Supreme Court left it to the state to grant them remission. The state government, however, has to consider the Centre’s views.
The convicts have been in jail for 23 years.
Nalini Sriharan, the wife of convict Murugan, was granted mercy in 2000 on the intervention of Rajiv Gandhi’s widow, Congress president Sonia Gandhi.
The top court had yesterday spared Murugan, Santhan and Perarivalan from execution, citing the 11-year delay in a decision on their mercy plea. The court rejected the government’s view that the convicts did not deserve mercy as they had shown no remorse and there was “no agony, torture or dehumanizing effect due to the delay.”
The largely pro-Lankan Tamil sentiment in the state gave a political twist to the assassination case, which has been inextricably linked to Tamil Nadu’s electoral politics over the years. All parties have joined calls for the convicts’ release; even Congress politicians from the state have not opposed it.
