Every print and news media in India was clogged with news of a organ trade unearthed in millennium city of Gurgaon. This racket, which was operational in major part of country, was run by group of surgeons for last 6-7 years.
They have state of the art medical setup to operate and transplant organs of needy to their rich and effluent clients in India and overseas. They were minting money by exploiting the poor and needy by luring them with money or false job promises.
But what gives them this opportunity is our own law of land, which does not permit organ transplant from anyone beyond one’s family. The essence of the law was to prevent commercialization of organ transplant. But it has paved way for the flourishing organ trade where huge monies are exchanged and the donors end up exploited at the hands of these so called doctors.
In my view, all of those involved in such heinous crime should be shown no mercy by the law and an example should be set for others.Further, regulatory authorities should spread awareness about organ donations (Like the campaign for eye donation) to promote donations after death. And make some provision in the law to allow a non relative to donate the organ for a adequate compensation.

The above image may look a bit funny or a bit too exaggerated but I believe that we live in Google Age. To me Google in synonym to internet. Google as homepage tells me that I am connected to rest of the world and my system is breathing.
It’s the nerve cell of information for millions like me. From finding a store next door to information on stars millions of light year away everything can be goggled. I like to Google myself and would feel on top of the cyber world the day googling Amit Gupta will show me on top of Google search. To me that is the symbol of being arrived on Internet.
Can’t think of a life without Google. Happy Googling !!!

Hi every one. I (Amit Gupta) have taken one more baby step on internet. Although, I ‘d created my identity on web quite sometime back but I realized that it can’t be updated often.
So, I thought that I’ll use a blog as it becomes easy for me to write down my thoughts about me , people around me and things around me. And whats a better day and time to start than 26 January. which reminds us of our country, our rights our duties and our constitution - think i am getting bit too serious! That’s the impact of the date.
Anyway to cut it short, this will be my space , my thoughts and all of you are welcome to share the thoughts of amit gupta.
