The views of the society reflacts in our life!

My friend Ranu was a very sensitive girl. In fact I am too sensitive and that's why we could be good friend. I met her at my working women hostel in Delhi as my roommate.

Ranu's father was an air force officer and was posted in Pune. She was in Delhi to practice her occupation as an Architect. They were three sisters and she was the middle one. That time her younger sister was pursuing MBBS in Bangalore. Her elder sister was with her parents. She was mentally retarded! Ranu loved her sisters like anything, specially her elder sister.

One day Ranu was so emotional. She was standing alone at the balcony of our room, tears were in her eyes! I came from my office and saw her in that condition.  I couldnt understand why she was upset! I put my right hand on her shoulder  and asked 'what happened Ranu! Why are you so upset? Missing your family?' She replied 'Yes I am missing them.' she continued ' You know what sometime I feel very bad that I am not able to help my elder sister.' I asked 'Why? I think your sister is lucky that she has got two loving sisters and caring parents.' She said ' yaah that's true. But you know what this society and the people, they are so narrow minded. When we were kid, I had to hear always that my elder sister is an abnormal child. She is mad!' Ranu started crying. I couldnt find any word to console her. I didn't understand what words should I use to keep her smiling, realised the words passed by the society may hurt us sometime. But this is unavoidable, as we all human are social beings.

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, ...

My Friendship day with my Friends in Faridabad

Sunday, August 01, 2010 I met lot of girls in Faridabad but some of them kept an wide impact on me. 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. There liveliness and fun loving natures taught me to live my life with my present and not with my past. Once again I started to live a carefree life with full of confidence! Great!😎🤩 This is a story about when we all planned our first ‘Friendship day’ together except Gunjan. Mousumi, Deepti and Neha planned first how to enjoy the day. They suggested us to go the Badkal Lake – a tourist spot in Faridabad. Everyone liked their plan. We took permission from the head of our institute Mrs. Jain. Till then everything was going smoothly and all were ha...

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...
