8th December

Completed morning program.
The panelists in the Seminar on Crimes against women at the India International Center yesterday were 1.Prof. Susan Viswanathan of JNU, Ms Kirti Singh, Sr, Advocate, Supreme Court of India , Nikhil Kumar IPS (Rtd.), Governor, Kerala and Ms Urvashi Gandhi, Manager-Education, Breakththrough TV and a social entrepreneur. The 'Bell Bajao campaign' launched by Breakththrough TV was appreciated by all. In this, the workers of the NGO go to individual houses. They ring bells in the houses where couples are fighting, register their presence and engage with them. Their presence has had salutary effect in preventing domestic violence in quite a few families and effecting reconciliation.
 The analysis of the subject by Shri Nikhil Kumar was enlightening.
BJP won in 3 State Assembly polls and topped in the 4th. While it will form government in the states of MP, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan,, it does not have numbers in Delhi, short by 4 seats, As no other party is is in a position  to form the government, President's rule may be imposed pending elections in future as soon as possible.
Spent the day reading newspapers and magazine.
Retired to seep at 10 .30 pm.
