Law in 2050 A.D

"I thought i can write an article on that". Hence this stuff !! I mean just think that its the year 2050 A.D. You are so much dependent on technology that Robots are your servants. For every thing you do, you require a robot right from cleaning home to preparing food. Almost everybody in your locality has one. Given the speed with which technology is expanding, this scenario is not unrealistic in future.

Now sample this. You send your hi-tech servant (i mean robot) to the market to fetch vegetables. He gets into tussle with another robot, who is your friend's servant. In provocation, he kills the other one with his automatic self defense revolver embedded in his body already. Now the real trouble starts !

What will happen then? Will the police catch him? Will he be prosecuted under Indian Penal Code(IPC) section 302 as he has done murder? But he is a robot, i.e non-living. How can one prosecute a non-living person? Does IPC allows that? Or does any penal code, for that matter, in the world allows that? Your friend has filed a criminal suit against you as you are responsible for the conduct of your robot (remember master-servant relation ?). He has also filed a civil suit to recover the money he spent on purchasing his servant. Now what??
Is the court competent enough to try this case? If not, can anybody's robot kill another and cause its owner monetary loss? These are some of the questions that our legal system will face perhaps 50 years from now. Isn't it? But i think law should catch up with technology. Because law is dynamic. Its provisions should be relevant to the society.

A law is made for the people and it is accepted in the society only if its provisions are relevant and to be followed by the crowd mutually. It will hence require a great deal of thinking before we can actually revamp our entire legal system to cope up with the challenges posted by technology in our lives. I hope i would be the one to see this change..

Some nebulous thoughts...

So here i am doing the most stupid thing a B.Tech would ever do. Again enrolling for studies rather than going for a job. Honestly speaking, i do miss my college. But IIT life is little different. It crushes u, it grills u, makes u more enduring, more studious, more jovial perhaps. I never felt like doing so much work. But seeing the other students here, i feel as if i have done nothing till now. This is may be a little grim part of this campus. U get frustu easily. But you also get charged up easily. I think its the spirit here which gets you on.

Full day classes, then chatting, internet, late night projects, 12 am coffee, some movies, and oh, its suddenly 2 in the morning. Little time to sleep. But i have adapted into this life. It has given me more stamina than ever. Bored !!? Its not as boring as u r reading here. Its the other way round in fact..!! But for this, u have to visit kgp.
Yahoo, the 1st semester exams are gonna be over soon. And i will be a free bird atleast for a month. I dont know how to spend such precious 30 days. !!
Ok now, its time to sleep..

A Dream that came true

Never did i thought that some day, i would land up here. This dream institute where every indian wants to be. But God has been kind to me for all those years. The first words after i got selected here were, "Congratulations, U have became a blessed kid now !!". Otherwise, till that moment, i didnot know what is the meaning of the idiom 'out of the blue moon' ! And after i got this call, other calls also started pouring in, making it difficult for me to take a decision.

Many a times in your life, u get what u think u dont deserve.. I dont know whether i deserve this prestigious institution or not, but now i will try to be worthy of it.

So, here i am at the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology- Kharagpur, The oldest, the best and the largest of all. Suddenly my life has changed. People have started recognising me at my place. Other people think my Mom-dad are lucky to have me. So many thoughts are suddenly pouring in. Those who didnot talk earlier have changed their attitude. And after coming here, i have started feeling why IITians are respected. This place is so different from the rest of India. No religion, No age bar, No Discrimination. Only one thing rules and that is your intelligence.

Thank you God, mom-dad, sister Moni and my sweet girlfriend Tanya for all your support.
I will try to be worthy of your aspirations. As of now, i am enjoying every bit of my success.
