Frustrations & Disappointments - Part 4

How safe are we?

A techie was stabbed in broad daylight when few men tried to rob him of money, as the bystanders stood and didn't try to save him.

A woman waiting for Bus after office, was offered lift by a School Bus driver, who eventually raped her.

A young woman in the wee hours fully drunk, called for a bike taxi to go to a friend's place, and the woman ends up being raped.

A middle aged man walking on the side of the road, when a two wheeler guy honked madly asking him to walk on the foot path. Altercations soon turned ugly and the guy on the two wheeler kicked the pedestrian, who ended up with a broken hand.

There are many such incidents that happen everyday. There are equal no.of cases with natives and migrants being victims or aggressors.

How safe are our cities? The culprits doesn't seem to care for the consequences or they know the flaws and workarounds in our system.

As long as there is no fear of law, there is no hope for safer cities.

Cleaning the political system, Firm Policing and getting people out of poverty will make the difference. Any guesses on which of the 3 is impossible?

The Border fight

Not sure why politicians across the globe fight for that tiny piece of land along the borders.

Almost every country, every state fight for that small town / village along the borders.

No one cares for the aspirations and wants of the people living there. This gross, obsessed patriotic set of people including politicians keep the conflict alive for their own kick.

If Kashmir rightfully belongs to India, so does every village and town belonging to the States. If Pak is wrong in claiming Kashmir as theirs, so does MH to claim Belgaum, so does KL to claim Kasargod.

When the States Reorganization act was enforced, the boundaries had to be drawn somewhere and each state would have surely been unhappy with some piece of land.

If Pak is seen as a villain to grab our piece of land, why not the same yardstick if MH is doing the same with KA!

The same yardstick also applies if KA is trying to claim any piece of land from any of it's neighbouring States.

Easen her burden

Life isn't fair for everyone. A young mother giving up her fight taking care of her specially abled child, is a tough scene to imagine.

Her pent up frustrations, pain, agony explodes every night, as she sobs and cries loudly expressing her desperation to lead a normal life. A young woman of that age having mountain of dreams on how she wanted to lead a happy life, but is holed up in the house 24/7, taking care of her erratic son.

Why few of them are punished so much? What's her Sin that she deserves so much suffering?

Is it Karma? Some philosophical answers could point at previous birth's Karma!! Which is an easy answer to escape in defense of the unfair situation given to her by God.

I only pray to easen her burden.

Deepika & her Dressing

Since the early days of civilizations, women have always been seen as a source of entertainment only and were denied rights to live a life.

Take any civilizations or later settlements in Greeks, Spartans, Middle east nations or India. Women have always been restrained, constrained and limited to 4 walls.

Marriage itself was a sham, and multiple partners for males were always found legal across the globe.

The world has come a long way, men have evolved and many such prohibitions are no more in practice. Women lead a very independent and free life, though some practices such as Ghunghat and Burkha system are still a Bane.

We now have a Star couple who are competing with each other on who will get more naked in front of the Camera.

It is a different matter that the color of that small piece of cloth, (which is hardly seen) is a cause of concern for few!

Covid & Avatar

Avatar 2 is released! It's a visual spectacle, a continuation from its prequel. Bit dragged and gets boring at times, yet a good watch if you were Avatar fan.

There is something else also that's coming in newer Avatar - Covid!

On one hand if the paranoia seems to be back in form of WhatsApp forwards of how more deadly the new variant is, such people who have this phobia of being scared are already preparing to be scared.

On the other side, the media was itching for some Masala, seems so happy that Covid could be back soon. All their choicest of words, their "expert" opinion on how people and Govt should react are already the prime time highlight.

Media and the people were probably so used to being paranoid but missing it from an year or so, it's probably a sigh of relief for them now.

Nasha Chadha Jo Sharifi Ka

The Clapping boys continue to find newer reasons to malign Pathan movie, by targetting a particular Song.

Not that I am an SRK fan nor waiting to watch Pathan, just a cause of concern in this rhetoric filled days.

After the color of the piece of cloth Deepika wore, now the skimpy clothes she wore or the seductive dance moves is supposed to be hurting our culture and all girls are feeling unsafe just because of this one song.

Deepika is not the first nor last to do such a seductive item number. There has been more vulgar/errotic songs where actresses have enacted and surely not elegant, Starting from the days of Helen, Mandakini or Zeenat Aman.

And Porn these days are so freely available, as Men who supposedly get motivated to involve in heinous crimes need not watch a movie song!

As the song itself says "Nasha Chadha Jo Sharifi Ka"...The Clapping Boys are intoxicated to take higher moral ground!
