Floods..whom to give priority?

Elections in Baroda on this 13th. News channels publicizing on politician and politicians giving comments. Not in anyone's favor but don't you think that people in Kashmir require more help than people of Baroda. Not telling that help is not required in Vadodara but people in Kashmir now will have to begin from the beginning which the Barodians don't need to do that. Baroda is paused for a moment but people out there will have to start again.

Is it logical to comment on such serious things at the time when help is needed? A time when you have to decide whom to give priority.

When we unite

'Festivals' have become a part of our life. Till my knowledge there are 12 months and 13 festivals which make someone's living...in a way we all remain connected to each other. No one knows what is the bonding but may it be anything, people forget what they are and celebrate with each other. Talking about recent events that is Ganesh Chaturthi no one knows how and when it started but it did make a difference in uniting the people celebrating lord ganesh's birthday. What we all know is history but what happens today is that no one takes into account. It is the same amount of responsibility to take care of our rivers as that to celebrate. Yes, during visarjan what happens is we all enjoy and dance but simultaneously we pollute our rivers and ponds etc. We all dont take that into consideration that it is our responsibility.

We all complain to government about pollution in rivers, ponds, etc..but what are we doing to protect it? What are we doing to make a difference? Mostly all of us use statue made up of plaster of paris which is difficult to dissolve in water and pollutes it.

A small step can make a difference all you need is to stand for that and raise your voice.

A need to change

When we talk about love there is always a question about one night stand. What I got from the survey was that few people believe that it is not our culture and it is western whereas the rest dont have any problem with it.

To those who dont agree with it I have a question that is it really western culture? What about our national heritage site of 'Kama dev' temple in Orissa whose carvings will tell you the truth. It is definitely your decision but it is our culture also. Yeah we do have a god for that but we deny. There are some people who have no offence for one night stand but what most of the guys say is that, "I may do anything but I definitely want a clean girl". So only you have the right to do whatever you want but they girls should not do anything.

Don't you think there is a need to change how we think.

Rape is still legal?

We live in a country where rape and molestation are making headlines. Some Indian cases have even sparked international outrage. But there is one kind of rape that it is apparently legal. And what's more, it has long been doused in the name of culture and shame. In fact, it is considered to be the duty of good housewife to give in to  it.We are talking about the rape that might be happening right next door, within the confines of a home that you might feel is a safe haven. But the good wife, whom you meet every morning in the park, or the one who comes to do your daily chores, might not tell you that it turns into hell for her every night.

We are talking about Marital Rape. Like child molestation, this is one of the most heinous sexual crimes in society. And yet, it is taken lightly by the Indian society. It  is the rape a married woman has to suffer silently at the hands of the man who is considered responsible for her safety.

By an outdated law devised during the British rule, the Indian Penal Code (IPC) does not identify rape by the husband as “rape” per se. In fact, it is only considered rape if the wife is under the age of fifteen and has been forced into a physical relationship.Section 375 of the IPC states, "Sexual Intercourse or act by a man with his own wife, the wife not being under 15 years of age, is not rape." This insensitive law completely disregards the times when a wife is brutally molested by her own husband. This law is so ancient, it has not even been amended even after the legal age of marriage of a girl was increased to 18.

This is indeed a sad affair because in India, a sexually frustrated country where marriage is only a license for men to have sex legally, the woman or wife is treated as an object to have sex with. A thing to use, rather than a human who has emotions, who feels pain and who deserves to be respected as a human being. Most men do not tolerate their wife's refusal to give in to their  sexual needs. They feel it is their wives' duty to have sex with them, as they provide money and food for them and their children.

Society has even driven women into believing that it is their duty to give in to their husbands. This has stopped many women from turning to the law for help.  Even if a woman does turn to the law, it has no provision to safeguard the interest of a woman within her marriage. Once she is married, she is owned by her husband.
This glaring loophole implies that while a woman can protect herself against domestic abuse as well as violence and dowry with the help of the law, rape at the hands of her husband is not something that she will ever be able to protect herself against.The attitude of the Indian Government, towards the act of making marital rape a criminal offence, comes as another shock. The bill was presented, but it was challenged on the grounds that it will stress the 'Indian family system' and that may be an injustice.

What seems to be the real injustice here is the fact that one half of 'the family' is being oppressed. It is that half of the family, which actually takes care of the rest.  Isn't the purpose of a 'cordial family' already defeated then?
For the cause of humanity, show your support by signing the petition to make marital rape a criminal offence in India. Share this with as many people as you can and make sure that no woman has to go through this silent suffering. Because no woman deserves

Is this why we require money?

It is amazing how some people have the unique capability of brainwashing us and how some people are superior and others being inferior. This is what money does when we look at the other side of the coin, where people have forgotten humanity within themselves and feel superior to other being richer than the rest. Not talking about specific group of people but talking generally. Yeah there are always exception, leaving the exception and talking about the superior, this would be a general observation within school students where some dominate the others and grow up not living life properly but having a group among themselves according to their class or I may say standard of living.

We have seen in India that when there are arrange marriages there is demand for dowry mostly happens in all the cases. She is leaving her house and getting settled with you sometimes compromising her dreams and other things..So do we ask dowry because a man keeps her for the whole life? Sometimes marriage between two people doesn't happen because one of them is not so capable of paying it. We think that marriage is supposedly second name of love and we disrespect it. Why do we care? We are getting money "right?" Who cares about love and friendship.

Power of money would be best seen in religious places where the poor are not even allowed inside those places in any circumstances. During festivals 'prashad' is made in huge amount but who knows where does it goes but definitely not to those sitting outside the temples because of their poverty. They call it prashad but it does have a price. People say that 'GOD' created humans but he never did discrimination then what are the VIPs in the temple? Arent we all same in front of GOD? Why are they given priority to go straight ahead and not standing in line, just because they paid some amount not to stand in the line? Are they busy? What about those who are standing since last couple of hours?

Yeah money plays an important role in our life but do we have to use in this way?
