God fear!

This is a story about my friend Ranu Dewan. We stayed in a working women hostel in South Delhi. Ranu was an architect engineer by profession and  worked in an architect firm of her one of family relationship. But she could hardly earn money to support herself. Her father told her not to work for earn money, but to learn something in her profession. Her father was a wing commander in Indian Airforce and parents lived in Pune. As all of us were struggler that time, we used to discuss bout Ranu's income oftenly. Infact she herself felt bad about her earnings.

One evening Ranu  came to hostel little late. She looked so tired and upset, "Prasada' was in her hands and 'Tika' was on her forehead. She gave a very touching look by her deep eyes!  In a very sad voice she told ' you know today I have told a lie in front of my Bhagwanji!' She continued 'I went to temple. A person asked me -" What do you do my child?" I told him that I am an architect. He asked me about my income and I couldn't tell him the fact. I told him a little bit higher range about my income. But uncleji told me "oh your salary is too low my child!" After that I couldn't stand in front of God!' I noticed tears in Ranu's eyes! I really felt bad about her situation. I tried to console her that God knows everything. HE might not be angry with my friend.

After that incident, one day suddenly Ranu told me 'I have made up my mind to leave my job and go back to my parents. I will plan for my best this time.' I was surprised, but felt good for her. The relative with whom she worked made her fool by paying her too low salary as she is a relative of them. They even didn't praise of her creativity.

Ranu was the first person in my working life in Delhi, with whom I could share my feelings. I got an email after a long time, she is in USA. She went there to live with her maternal uncle. She got married there and now running her own company. I too got married and shifted myself from Delhi to Hisar. Didn't get any further news from Ranu. But suddenly one day I met Ranu afain after years on social media! I was newly handling my Facebook profile. We exchanged phone numbers. 

One night she called me from USA. We spoke for a long time. Surprisingly our children's names were same born in same month! We were happy to be connected again. WhatsApp was not launched in 2010. Again we missed our contacts. I am not able to locate her now, where is she. But wherever she is, she must be busy with her life!

STOP VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN!

Stop!!! Violence against women is a worldwide problem that affects women of all ages, ethnicities, races, nationalities and socio-economic backgrounds. Some forms of violence are gender-based and impact women more disproportionately, such as domestic violence, sexual assault, sexual harassment, human trafficking, child abusement and acid attack. Beside these, Indian society is facing two more major violences against women Girl child foeticide and dowry demands.  It is very shameful to say that this society is not safe for females even in this 21st century. Somewhere, little young girls are molested by some sick minded people; somewhere 80 years old lady has to be treated very badly; somewhere if a girl wants to protest against eve teasing she has to be a victim of acid attack. It is seen that some people being upset on the birth of a girl child in thei5r family and the same people look for little young girls to worship on the days of NAVRATRAs. Girl child foeticide, ...

They are – three kashimiri girls – Nilima, Priya and Rashi.  We used to call them together Mission Kashmir😊😁Mousumi, Neha and Deepti– 3 idiots!😎😎🤩 Last but not the least most important 2 genius – Gunjan and Tapasya. All of them had different natures but one thing was in common that they all were innocent and clear hearted.

Why Cann't We be Satisfy With Our Lives!

I visited a village in Arunachal Pradesh. A very remote area in Tawang District of Arunachal Pradesh. There was limited facilities in that area. There were no communication mediums, no market or shops, no transport, not enough education facility and not even medical facilities. People had to walk miles of mountain path to get there minimal needs. So there was less value of money; strangely we discovered exchange system!  'Strangely' I am using this word because I had never seen such exchange system before nor I have seen ever afterwards. There were very populations in that village. Education system was so poor that children even didn't know the name of their nation; not even name of their Chief Minister or the Prime Minister of their nation!! Obviously these information seemed useless for their lives. But I found that people didn't have any complain about their lifestyles or against the system. There were happy with what they were getting in lives. I was y...
