Half Empty or Half Full

Last night we were having a heated debate on whether monarchy was a solution to the present turmoils in the political scenario. It stemmed off from an already ongoing debate on which was better -- two party system or multi party which had stemmed off from another debate -- Prathiba Patil vs Kalam. I would be lying if I say we IITians actually intentionally discuss such socially relevant issues. The above was actually an outbreak of topics we love discussing -- headlines on national newz channels that should actually be confined to a masala corner (COMING SOON - a whole blog devoted to such trash), Ekta Kapoor bashing, plagiarised bollywood movies and songs....(in the reverse order of chirography).

Well even though we did not land up at any conclusion I did realize one thing. There's not just a black and white side to everything. There's also the invisible UV region to it. As in there are more than two ways in which each situation can be judged. The right, wrong and the <>. To be more archaic -- We talk about a glass of water being half full or half empty. But what if the life giving water is not water but a transparent solution of memphitic cyanide.
