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.

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...

Happy Birthday Mama Mary

I sit here thumping away on the keyboard wondering about what to write and it dawns on me…… Many years ago when I was a young girl I was approached by a lady in Church to play the role of Mother Mary. She wanted to put up this enactment about the apparition of Mary to a group of children. I did not know who the person was and was surprised - my first thought was to decline as I was extremely shy. However, she did not pressurize me and instead asked me to think about it and after doing so and sharing it with the folks, I accepted the role. This play went on for about fifteen minutes but they were the best moments of my life. Many years have gone by…but this wonderful memory remains with me always. However, I feel sad at the number of people who do not acknowledge Our Lady. Jesus said “Son this is your mother and mother this is your son” and thus we embrace Mary as our blessed mother. She, as any mother, helps us with our problems, intercedes on our behalf and in return we than...

Cheating

Why do people throw good relationships for a quick roll in the hay? This practice seems to be growing and practically every second person in a committed relationship doesn’t think twice about two timing his/her partner. However, when they are “found out” these individuals don’t think twice about promising the moon and once forgiven you can be pretty sure that they are gonna do (sic) the deed again and again. I think that once they go the entire hog, they just aren’t gonna curb their enthusiasm! Cheaters know their partners will relent no matter what. They preen themselves with having “won”! However, if a person cheats on me, I would tell the jerk to beat it. Rather be single, keep your dignity intact than stick with some douche bag. Not my cuppa … What about you my lovelies?

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...

The Price of Public Humiliation

Two-Faced You know there are people who claim to be pals just to look cool. I had this conversation with a close friend who couldn’t understand why a couple of her Facebook friends ignored her in person. After our chat, it finally dawned on her that the so called friends just wanted a long list to appear hip. She updated her status and vented her frustration. An amusing story here - the same people who ignored her added their two bits about public humiliation and gave it the thumbs down signal. Weird don't you think? Plastic Smiles How would you like it if relatives followed the same principle? In public spaces they turn away pretending they do not know you leaving you dumbfounded. Here is something that happened to a couple of friends. They received invitations for a wedding where everyone attended the blessed event. To cut a long story short, my friends and their families were ignored and treated like social pariahs by closest members of the family! When they came face-to-f...
