Preconceived Notions



There is a general misconception that anyone desirous of leading a life without sex has lost the plot or is on the way to a cloistered life. This is so not true, because even though the medium (read sex) is a means of releasing pent up energy and a great deal of fun, it is not the be all and end of life. In fact, giving up on it is no be deal, because you do not have to deal with the pressure – just get on with life without the huff and puff and heave ho – you just get by happily.

An unmarried happy go lucky girl was scoffed at because she believed in retaining her virginity. People sniggered at this was because in their view – here was a girl who was always partying, had a series of boyfriends, but still retained her chastity. This was beyond the comprehension of a clichéd mindset! People opined that she was pretending to be virginal to retain her ‘reputation’. How stupid is this, eh? This is the general notion that every female who parties, has a drink or two, enjoys a cigarette, has a series of both male and female friends, speaks her mind, etc is ‘asking for trouble’. Perverse thinking speaks a great deal about a promiscuous mindset by certain sections of society. Who gives anyone a right to decide whether someone is ‘tidy’ or not!

The fair sex is no commodity to be used just because a certain group of men cannot keep their pants on. Look at the great number of rapes happening at alarming speed in our country and you wonder, what IS going on? The beasts that prey on the innocence of babies, girls, women and old ladies are vile. Gang rape by indulging in the lewdest of acts is a definite sign of impotency. Males that indulge in this free for all and get away with it invariably inflict their nastiness on other girls. When they are brought to book, they feign innocence and even shy away from the public eye with scarves to maintain anonymity. The best way to get out of this rut is to ensure that a very strict punishment is enforced. If society stops awarding so much emphasis on the progeny (the ladla beta) and welcomes the birth of a baby girl with as much gusto, life will definitely change.

I would like to end this with a quote from a young girl and I quote ‘men do this because they like to live out their own perverse porn show’. It is so sad that children have to lose their innocence and grow up learning about the birds and the bees in this terrible way. Please let us do something about this and nip this awful menace in the bud, right now, otherwise we are going to have to deal with a breeding ground of sexually frustrated and depraved men getting away with it… waiting to pounce on the next victim.

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
