On the day decision on Jessica Murder was delivered i.e 20Th December 2006 by Delhi High Court, The decision is not question here but the way it was taken by sister of Late Jessica lall by celebrating it with opening of champagne bottles.
- What it depicts?
- How serious she was about her Sister?
- Is it was the way an ordinary Indian used to accept the Justice?
- Finally what are the realities of this Page three, especially Sarbina lall because her that day behaviour never reflects that she was suffering.
If one can tell truth about these please share with all.

Dear Richa,
Many thanks for commenting on Reportage.
I don't know how old you are. For age does wither one's edges of passion for one's own convictions. One learns to look deeper into life and not skim on the layers, whether that be one's pointedness on the idea of 'social justice' or that foggy fancies on a linear line life is going to take 'one day'.
Death and the time surrounding it sends a chilling pang. But minds merge with layers of moments that follow and get tamed; whether we like or not. This sister would have had her crumbling moments but she like others would outgrow it for the sake of continuing in the stream of life. Champagne could just be a peripheral symbol of her idea of success and celebration. Our colours of judgment might distort every vision, for mourning needn't just be draped in black alone. I don't know these people, I'm just a bystander.
The point is, think about the clash of convictions and the absurdity that underlies it all. It's invisible, the joke. But you need to unwind and unlearn and start looking at the world and oneself and one's own projections of a programmed reflex onto events.
Like I noted on my page, deaths and the way we receive them vary according to one's social badges. Our daily grind involves the ultimate act of standing still and observing the theatre and wondering on the pastiche of masks, skin, flesh, sounds, soundbytes, and the intertwining pulls of puppetry by the others who'd see gold in the confusion.
Your efforts are commendable. But I guess you need to slow down and hover up to the sky to look down and see it all within the contexts of our milieu and the web of convictions.
Truth? There's no truth in life. Only ideas. Human ideas. That applies to your question and that sister's acts. Looking further one would see what's within it all: nothing.
Cheers and best ahead Richa!
I agree with Josh!! Do you know what a great feeling it is to finally get the justice.. It is a celebration that finally the sister killed and the family torn apart can move forward with the knowledge of the victory... please move on, and dont get trapped in the trivia of page 3.. or anti page 3
We are not against or in favor of any section of society. Only we want to share is, the Victory of Justice for Jessica should not be confine to high powered and top linked society. These people can do any thing to remain in page three of news papers.
The celebration after high court verdict by Sabrina lall and Indian media with opening of Champagne bottles reminds ordinary Indian, who till today has not tasted a drop of pure drinking water but supported the cause of Jessica lall in hope to get a system which will not justify in only this case but also in all those which are pending in Indian courts and are dying because of proper witnesses.
Verdict has not seen through this aspect of commoners, this case has provided us an opportunity to do some thing for ordinary citizen, who don't even have access to last page of our media.
Thus opening of Champagne bottles are dishonor to all those who deserve first pure drinking water than only dream of costly wine, which rich people buy to spread in air to celebrate their victories.
A commoner has seen their (Page three) first reaction (opening of Champagne bottles) after the high court verdict. One again think that, Are these those for whom they have lit bundle of candles at Indian gate?
If justice for Jessica was struggle of ordinary citizens that celebration for victory should be as ordinary as we the Indian are.
