So you think you can be a "Parent" ?

People tend to be like, this is a taboo or this is already illegal it doesn't happen in India. They are wrong. Just by keeping yourself in a comforting zone of ignorance doesn't keep your saint conscience clean nor in peace. The concerns of our Indian culture that doesn't include any particular religion or region but the thought process be rectified and the problems must be dealt hard handed. We must take charge of the issues we have known for a while now and try to make awareness and fight for it on real grounds as well.

One such concern is Child Marriages which is not an extinct act and is practised even till date in many remote areas. If we try to understand the mindset of those families who organise their daughters' wedding in their tender age, it is pretty naive and blind logic. They may be of the opinion that by wedding off their daughters will protect her dignity from being molested or abused sexually at tender age of childhood. What they don't realise is that by wedding off their daughters in a tender age might still lead to her mental, physical, social and not for the least sexual abuse by her so called soul mate.

The only way we can curb this discrimination is by the equating the gender and creating an environment safe for our daughters and sons equally. Bringing them both up as an equal and inculcating manners and sense of judgement.

This is not an article or blog post to a particular group. This is to all parents and all those who are expecting to be a parent in near future. The responsibilities are much more than raising the child by providing education and good food. It's about nurturing a good mindset providing a rich dose of Indian culture and understanding of the responsibilities as an individual.

Issues of Domestic Violence, Eve Teasing, Rapes are the result of an opaque upbringing and injection of a hollow male ego inside the youth blood. The more they tend to be open to surrounding and controlled emotions can lead to a better safe future for everyone.

Mardaani - Women Empowerment or another shrink of a wannabe gender?

It received a lot of appraisal with it's theme and the sporting action packed movie. Mardaani starring Rani Mukherji as Shivani Shivaji Rao, a Crime Branch Mumbai Senior Inspector deals the heinous, illicit and most concerning trade of all times, human trafficking, in an intense screenplay and engaging direction by Pradeep Sarkar.

Investigations

It canvasses the power of a woman who is organised and hones credited confidence of her skills as a Senior Inspector. She is physically strong, dedicated and not the least but bold. As in the trailer we witness, her serious encounter with thugs and how she rains thrashes on the face of those lowly overpowered thugs is a scene that could encourage every citizen to stand up against local gangs of crooks. This encounter is however, mild of we compare it with the theme this movie kept. The investigations, field searches, backtracking and networking had all been displayed with minute details.

The backdrop

Situations in the underworld trafficking girls and women during these on-going investigations too keep your attention focussed on the story. The violence and scenes depicted in the movie forced the censor board to rate the movie with an A grade. 

That, however, will not stop people to go watch the movie as it stirs the conscience of every one concerned with the increasing insecurities of women today. Also, it has stirred chief minister of Madhya Pradesh so much because it brought into focus the trafficking of young girls and women that he announced the movie a tax-free status.

But there is still one question that remains unanswered!

Why title the movie Mardaani?

Is it not one another shrink for the cause of Gender Equality that we fight.

Is it not another topic of debate, as to why a woman should be compared to be at par with men when she has equal potential as a human being?

The question remains and answer is with all of us! 

Society will never mark development until it loses stops creating a criteria to measure the values of a character- strength, courage, moral stability, perseverance and success.

A place called My India

Every one who is either living in or has their ancestral origin in India are proud to be a part of this rich land. They may call it country of great resource and aspirations. They may also pick their collar up for creating the highest number of scholar and highly skilled technical human resources, the talent of which is enjoyed by entire world. From Xiajing in Kashmir  to Cape Comorin in Kanyakumari and from Changlang in Arunachal to Kutch in Gujarat, we are blessed with a land of diversity in it's climate, vegetation, soil and people leisure their language, lifestyle, thinking, religion and nonetheless freedom to have it all.

Lies!

Indian Politics have become a malignant chronic disease for Indian population in general. When we say politics, one word crosses our mind, a corrupt minister flat face with an overgrown moustache elected on governing chair. Why does it have to be the negative and depressing image for the government we elect when of course not every minister adorn an overgrown moustache on the flat face. The answer is simple, every day we encounter normal people and people with power which makes us blame the government and the root cause politics.

What is this word "politics" anyway?

Well read this, as per theory, politics is the activities associated with the governance of a country or area, especially the debate between parties having power. This definition sounds so sober and elegant that one naive aspirant with an idea to serve one's countrymen can dive into the puddle which actually has layers that lead only to the gateway of hell.
Politics, as per the actions and present day conditions, is an act of an individual or a group on whole to gain irrelevant, improper, unjust, unlawful and unjustified access to the resources of the area's or state's or national jurisdiction and administration. It tweaks the Indian Penal Code, moulds the substantial logics, abolish the rightful freedom of the citizen in general for the interest of a motivated party.

Why do we care?

Instances and History witnesses several examples of a corrupt and over use of power by such political parties and involved organization/bodies have caused only wrath over the population and the culprit stands the people in general who suffer the tyranny, obscene usage of unjust power which fuels their aspirations and the growth cost lives of many innocent men, women, children and cultural dignity.
We have the power to write, we have the power of speech, we have the power to run over the bloody mess of these satans.

Today, I share this one video of such a tyranny. Misuse of power, led to embarrassment and harassment of this young toll booth operator.

Now it's up to you! whether you will stand up for this cause, go against it or live your daily life as such.
I understand the live of the common man means to get up every morning, go to work, work all day and make his way back home and sleep over just to repeat the same actions over and over again. Your only interactions with such cruelties can occur when you are travelling to and from your work. Or when you want to go out and enjoy holiday with your family. Your silence is not criticised. I know this might not reach you ever. But if it does, make sure you take a pledge not to give in to these overpower thugs. Neither they nor their activists should get the pleasure of scaring you by over powering you.

Did I have a Love Story? Part -1

When the time has come and it takes its toll on us, when even the distance on which we were once proud of starts to weather away our belief. It's time for us to say "Good Bye!"

I had a belief that I have a heart and my love in it. My mind, body and soul clenched to win over her but now it seems all is just a fading rush of impulse. A niche created within me that echoes not to look back, love is fading away. I look up and see my desires. I never had the chance to live for my dreams, thinking I'm not what I am but meant to grow older and get settled like a petty common Indian man. Now that I've grown up to see a fraction of this little world, a taste of what they call "living," I desire of my life to be much more free of implications and full of aspirations.

A love and lover dreamt of  living their long and unpredictable life together. They never thought if they will ever be accepted for what they are, they never expected much. All they did was, besides keeping patience, sit alone and dream of what their future together would be when they get married. They were so contended with their dreams and pictured it so selfishly flawless that when the reality came in, it shook their faith. The lover was injected by venom of helplessness and was shown the bitter truth of his possible future. Unknown of these inexplicable corrosion of her lover's mind, love kept her faith and held her ground. By this time she had grown even more fond of her "lover".
Her lover on the other hand was suffocating, he wanted to keep his promises. The ones he made to his love, a life long commitment. The devil was laughing he kept his oven lit and was ready to throw in his love in it forever. He was desperate, he was helpless, he never thought his feelings could betray him and he found himself doomed into a God forsaken gloom where he can no longer tell his wants or confess his sins. He was now all alone by himself dragging the lifeless carcass of his "love" speaking to her as if she could respond. He expected nothing, he got none but for the time had come and he deceased as if he never did exist.

What Are you Afraid Of ?

Dear reader,
At this moment when this blog article is the neonatal stage of its formation, my mind hurls and my thoughts whams inside the morphological limits of the brain. Whimsical at times, I interrogate the validity of these questions that are raised in this aimless soul. What is the real essence of an individual anyway? Is it to be involved in a routine, is it to be rich with a big bank balance or is it to sustain a family. We are so involved in our daily lives, working day in and day out to fulfil our basic necessities and then we end up slave for the pace of time. Same routine, same task repeated all day long. While we see some people make the fortune again over and over again. We see them, envy them, praise them like they are celebrities. But what they actually are, humans like us. So what causes this difference anyway? We know,  "Time and Tide Waits For None."

It's still not too late to row your boat, put yourself through paces, keep yourself organized in a way that your schedules keep the strings pulled for you. A fecund mind never sleeps, knowingly or unknowingly it keeps producing thoughts worth selling. All it lacks is the way to establish its ground on the real plane.

"Earth is deteriorating my friends but the world is advancing."

Don't you find this absurd and contradicting in itself?
How can something die in & out and yet live through, stead through each day to a newer level?

Its simple, like what you do to yourself when you are sad and lonely, not living but dragging your carcass around sluggishly as if you were meant to be a liability after all. Well there is a secret of how to keep things on a right track and they never can go wrong. Just stop worrying and start giving out your strength to help the cause that may disturb you as a human. It might seem silly but keep a track of your every action every step, and every small act of kindness and true justice you make takes you to the big day- Your Success. Maintain a journal and maintain it well. Learn not to write what you do but do what you write. YES!!! you read the last line right, You might need to write the journal before you start the day and do what your journal says, for the rest of the day. Let the brilliant ideas in your head be jolted down in ink, give them a careful look then get up on your feet and start searching ways of getting those things done. You might need to keep the journal handy because you may never know your plans need a recourse. There might be many things that you didn't even know were the pre-requisites, a qualifier task to reach just a step closer to your plan that you might learn only when you are out on field. With the Internet, you can out reach any thing you want but just know that it may help to put you a fraction of step ahead, give your idea a head start but the rest of the project is under your guidance and is waiting for your intellect to work on it.

Getting Out Of Your Comfort Zone

Its not always easy for people to shake up a bit and start to do something out of the box. I was watching this Glee Season 1 episode 4 when I actually listened to what 'Sue Sylvester', the character who is a cheerio coach for McKinley High cheerleaders' group, said about sticking up for yourself and stop being in one's own comfort zone. There is a time when you find people tormenting and yelling at you for being different, to have chosen a different set of faith and beliefs because this is the cost that you pay for having to want something more than the world wants. They are threatened by your choice of courage to set another culture, a new trend of doing and no sleeping.
A very simple line that moved me was when she showed the striking similarity between a crowd cheering and abusing at you in a stadium and that is they both make noise. It is up to you how you are going to see it.
If you are convinced that they are cheering for you, they might will.
That is how Sue C's it ;-)

So for all those who look forward positively for their future or of their ward's future for that matter, stop treading the same old path but get out, shake up a bit and start doing things you never have imagined to do with your life. You will be surprised to see how life starts giving back to you sooner than you could have imagined.
