A Scary Crime Called Rape

There is much being said about rape and everyone has an opinion. A fact that one cannot dispute is the trauma that a victim has to face for the rest of her life. No matter what the case may be she is often ostracized for no fault of hers. Many a time people find themselves pregnant after this heinous crime and have to face nine months of hell. What do they do, should they love the child whose parent they loathe, give the child up for adoption or face shame in a public domain? I am not endorsing abortion here, this is not the case. All I say is while the child growing in the womb is innocent, the lady or young girl has to face pressure for a crime that was committed on her. There are plenty of people who endorse that this is an act of God. But that is not at all right because God does not encourage filth! This is encouraged by the evil one. God however, does not like the idea of getting rid of an innocent child. Having said this however, what does a victim do in such circumstances? Have the child or not?

Having to move on after a hate crime is the worst thing possible. There is no one out there who can stand and testify to your situation. We have people in public spaces who do not think twice about citing reasons that the woman is to blame. Pray then, what can you say - you people of such ‘good character’ to the criminals who rape babies, young children and senior citizens? The death penalty is being promoted by many and to others castration and to many more a harsh life sentence for rapists. The bottom line is a rapist is a menace to society. We hear that many of the people who commit the crimes are not registered offenders. That is a fact isn’t it? They get away with their crimes because women or kids are scared to report the crime. The children don’t even know what has happened! There are many reasons (some say) that encourages men to go out there to do the sick deed. Vulgar content in songs, porn, movies with ridiculous themes, skimpy shows, etc., have been considered to egg sickos on. Is this a fact or does it stem from a deep rooted problem with certain men? It is high time people rejoice at the birth of a baby girl instead of cursing her. The mindset must be changed by everyone irrespective of caste, gender, religion, class and geographical area.

Being scared to go out in case something happens is in the mind of many girls and women today. And with cases being reported every day one will think twice before venturing out. We hope and pray that stricter laws will work for the fairer sex in our motherland. We the women of the nation hope that people will take us seriously and implement a law that brings the culprits to book. In sum, when they commit the crime, they just have to do the time. Plain and simple!

it is a painful issue to discuss ~~ only reflects the animistic society that we had created with all our education.. and technology ~~ unless individuals change and transform ~~ mass consciousness cannot change, was mentioning to someone recently.. Upbringing is at fault.. parents have to be blamed by and large to have brought up animals instead of children / youth ~~ Mothers are to take a responsible role in bringing up their siblings.. as she is the first one who the child is in touch with as it enters into this world of trauma ~~ time for change !!
Cannot agree with you more Manuel.

It Is Election Time - No Chance of Watching A Rerun For Sure

Just another day in the life of an average person who wants to watch a rerun of Friends but has to make do while flipping from NDTV, Tiranga, India Today, Times Now, Mirror Now, and the rest. I live in hope that I can watch my reruns again! Will have to wait for the 23rd! Okay, I get it, watching television is not everyone’s cuppa today, though many of us mere mortals still turn on the television to watch a program or the other, especially the news, at this point of time, with elections going full gusto. In my life, while I would love to watch reruns of old comedies, Mum watches the news. When I asked her the other day, why not watch WWF instead - I explained that it is way cooler than the mudslinging, she looked at me as if I had lost my mind. What can I say, Mother I replied. My thoughts were, aren’t we slowly losing the plot while getting drawn into debates? I avoided saying anything more, or I would have been drawn into a debate! We are gripped into this frenzy based on rhe...

Beginning of the End?

A short story here... Just read and let me know what you think? I haven't concluded the story just going with the flow. The erratic nature of the power supply left the entire city in the lurch and this seemed to be a frequent occurrence. In spite of pleadings to curb global warming people paid no heed to the warnings and this brought about the swarm …. The beginning was when the entire country was wiped out in darkness and stampedes all over going on well into the night. Headlights of passing vehicles were the only source of light as generators were giving way because of the scarcity of fuel available. Every living being was being held hostage because of the “no power and no water” adage. No rainfall = less electricity = no water = no produce = malnutrition. The crops were in a mess, pets were getting crazed, and livestock was dropping dead by the minute. Drought was at an all time high. Neighboring countries pitched in, but this deluge was gaining momentum across cou...

Narrow Path

When I look at your arms on the cross stretched wide Your eyes filled with love encouraging us to drop the divide But no matter which way we trudge You love everyone without even the slightest grudge. Temptations all around enticing us with its wares How do we ignore these pangs and stop its glares? Many ridicule us because of the road we follow Help us set an example and travel the path of straight and narrow.

Water Woe

Here’s a problem about the water scene that’s plaguing our city with the authorities taking a lackadaisical attitude about our woeful situation. Guess privatization of this inactive force needs to be the hour of the day. What say? The heat at this time of the year in Feb is rather pinching and I really wonder what it’s gonna be like in the coming months. Here’s hoping that some rain will give us a breather and in consequence fill the reservoirs and enable the water man to actually attend to our ardent need. Moving on from the tale of gloom, with the onset of summer it’s time for the sleek and svelte to don the most happening items in vogue and show off their splendid bods. To the rest of us metabolically slow, we trudge the path of heat with the longing that this brand of ‘exercise’ (or lack of it) would shed the unwanted girth! Anyways, it’s a good time I guess both ways, coz everyone maybe a winner because..........the heat is on! ....... but not the ones with lack of water...

How Do I Say Goodbye

How Do I Say Goodbye?    You are God’s chosen one, watching me from above I wasn’t able to be with you during your most difficult time Mimi how I wish I can get back to that period when your illness was not prime What do I tell you, my sweet sister, except that I am shattered The last message you sent me was that you were coming back alive - that really mattered   This new normal is impossible to take I hold back tears and try to be strong, I feel so fake You know what I am going through, don’t you sweetheart? Coz you and I were never ever apart If I can just touch you for a mere minute the pain may disappear God knows best as I hold on to memories that are so dear You are my best friend, my confidant, my sparring partner Be free from pain darling girl, rest in peace I love you, and I always will
