Re: Nukkad
This king cobra is a really scary beast. Imagine the venomousness of a regular cobra but with 3 times the length, and as thick as a python. It is unbelievable, except that is actually exists. I heard that it is an extremely aggressive type of snake (which typically try to avoid human contact).

No it is anxiety for most people except a few tolls. 2019 is going to be challenging as no non-Congress govt so far has retained power on this scale. I agree.

Another news which also highlights the sad case of lots of young men in KL not finding brides. Why is this? The M/F ratio is in KL is supposed to be the 'best' in India (i.e. more females than males) as far as I know. Is it because of some religious-type reasons? Or is it a case of people from othe...

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - 2 (Mar 2018 - )
...well, if the train of thought is that death penalty as a punishment for rape of minors may motivate the rapists to kill, how about adding death penalty if the rapist has killed the child (as happened in Kathua). Same logic would suggest that the rapist will now try to keep the child alive, thereb...

Actually, I am interested in knowing the answer to gablu's question- why is there opposition to the death penalty law by some folks.
