Back from my phuket trip, I was planning to write about the beautiful beaches and scenery of phuket but while checking score of final ashes test on BBC's site I happened to find this strange news piece:

"Kidnap girl grapples with freedom"

(http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6192433.stm)

Now this is a strange story, a girl was abducted when she was 10 and she escaped finally few months back at the age of 18. Now this girl is finding it difficult to come to terms with the freedom she has finally got. Was just wondering what effect such a traumatized childhood would have on the girl. One of the experts quoted in one of the articles said that girl has not lived several phases of her early life in a proper way and therefore it would take several years for her to recover completely from the ordeal. Now, I don't know what could have motivated the kidnapper to do this - every man acts at least by his own mind in a right way - but I wonder what makes a criminal believe in what they do. I can understand that rage may play a role in some murders, greed can make u do lot of things from fraud to robbery, momentary drive of lust can drive someone to rape. All these acts are abhorrent but come to think of it I can paint the man who committed the crime, I can at least claim to understand what could have driven them. But people like the kidnapper here or the serial killer from Noida killings, there mindset just elude me completely....what and what on earth can make these people live on with ghastly acts of theirs. I can understand kidnapping but to live with it for 8 years...well I guess man needed a drive and passion of almost maniac levels to do that - but what could have driven him to that level. After all here the kidnapped was a 10 year girl ?

And come to think of it those perpetrators of Noida known to mankind could describe what they did....30 women and children - killed over two years - why ? sex, organ trade or whatever you just can't be human to have done that. I just wonder how these men get to live with themselves after all that they do. And how can they repeat a wrong over and over again.

I strongly believe that death is not a punishment for perpetrators of such inhuman acts, they must breath but die every day. I care a damn about human right activists for a moment....just hope someone can come up with a punishment which make these guys writhe in pain for every moment of rest of their life.
