Happened to come across a post regarding boys Vs girls. Suddenly it struck me that of late, there are number of issues seen as boys V girl issues. Be it a TV prog or any other issue. Does two opposite sexes mean that one group should always point fingers at the other?I also came across a news article where one of the prominant faces has started a campaign against men to prove that the are potent before marriage. IMO, this is purely a personal issue and urging the Govt to create a law is ridiculous. I do agree that women have undergone hell in earlier days and is still happening. But will a woman be able to do it when a man demands it? I dont think many women will agree to this.

The improvement in literacy rates among women has come with a package. It has instilled the thought that they can survive in this world without the help of others. This is a welcome change. But, to what extent can this be accepted is a question mark. In some cases the feeling of self confidence goes overboard leading to a lot failures in marraige. Having started to write about marriages, a few issues strike me immediately. In the past few months, I have been hearing many sad-ending marriages, where innocent men were betrayed by women..Was that a co-incidence? I dont know. But it has actually kindled a lot of thoughts in me. What is marriage all about? Is not a give and take "Relationship"? I put relationship within quotes for a reason. Now-a-days, everything has become mechanical. Marriages are no exception. They are like written agreements. Again, there are a few exceptions. Men misbehaving with women and women not able to meet up with the expectations of men, and so many other cases have still not been thrown out of the society. Yet, the issue of women behaving strangely is on the rise.

The Media in the name of reality shows is not sparing anyone. It is happy to come up all shows that increase the rift between men and women. Neither of the sexes can survive without the other. Then why all this? On one of the channels, I see two teams competing against one another. The so called best part of the show is that, one team consists only of men and the other team consists only of women. Atleast, we can be happy that women think that they are equal to men. On the other hand, on another channel, the slave mentality of women is being exploited. It came up with a debate where-in women argue that they are the ones behind men's successes!!!!!!??????? And men sitting on the other team, deny the arguement. Ah! what an amazing way to increase the TRPs. The media instead of addressing the problem, is actually making things worse. Why do some women still want to them to be recognised as behind the scenes? When will this attitude change? When are we going to strike a balance?

I know that the answer can well be matched to an ideal situation. But, cant we actually strive hard to build and ideal situation wherein, women get duely recognised, men are no longer the villians in many girls' life and vice-versa?

Yes, we can build an ideal society if only we identify the problems and stop brooding over everything that we come across. We can build one society if we stop taking up pety issues and crying foul. .The above mentioned issues are only a small portion of the problem before us. If we look deep into all these issues, we might get many such which will years together for us rectify. Yet, we shall be determined to work towards resurrection. Things are changing. To those women who still feel that they need recognition for their men's success:- come out of the slave mentality and stop trying to be behind the scenes . To those who have come out of that and instilled the thought of equality/superiority, we still need men and they need us. So we both are equal. Let us not do what they did to us and spoil each other's lives. We have better things to do!!!

COPS assault a six year old

I am not a regular blogger... But thought why not give it a try???

Let me start off with just a small introduction about me. I am Charanya S. I am a graduate and in the recent times I’ve developed interest in freelance writing. 

With that small introduction, let me start off by sharing my views regarding a news article that I came across.

“COPS assault a six year old.... “

 I was going through one of the news articles on the web a few days back and was shocked to watch one of the videos that was being flashed. I was shocked to see that a 6 year old girl was being beaten up by cops who had picked her up on the allegations that she had stolen money from her neighbourhood. It was even more shocking to learn about the fact that everything was happening in public and it was being shot by a cameraman belonging to a news channel.

My question here is that when  the media claim to have every right to publicize these issues for public viewing (more often to increase their TRP rates), is it not their moral responsibility to have tried to stop the policemen who were involved in beating up the child? They were trying to sensationalize the fact that there were other cops near the arrogant cops, who were mere on-lookers. Where would these media people categorize themselves to be? Aren't they a part of the public? When will the media try to stop sensationalizing stories before trying to act in a situation where it is needed? After all policemen are human beings. They are no God. I do agree that in some situations the media sensationalism have helped the members of the public to know about the happenings such as this very situation, wherein, the cops who were involved were punished for their brutal acts. Although, it is still hurting to know that no first hand step was taken in stopping those policemen from beating up the child.

Coming to the policemen, shouldn't they have acted responsibly in public instead of trying to portray themselves to be superior that too with a 6 yr old kid? What were they trying to prove to the public? I do agree that they were trying to help the public. But does that mean that they can do anything? These kind of acts just lessen the faith that a common man has in the police force. I would like to share one of my friends' personal experiences to convey how some policemen set a bad example. My friend had applied for her passport. As a routine verification, a policeman had come to her house for verification purpose. All the details that were requested for was furnished before him and when asked whether he needed anything else, a demand of Rs.500 was put forth in front her. She was shocked and asked him why she had to pay him, for which the reply was that if she dint pay the amount, then she might end up not receiving her passport... She dint have that much amount with her and gave him only Rs.250. The policeman said that this amount was not enough for him to please his superiors and left at one point saying that it might take a longer time for her to receive the passport. She received it 4 months after that incident. 

How can the policemen indulge in such acts? Don't they set a wrong example in front of the public? Aren't they responsible in eradicating bribery from the society? How will a common man go and lodge a complaint against those who commit crime? Why are such cases ever happening? Why is there no discipline? When will all this end and when can we boast ourselves saying that we are in a corruption-free environment???Or are we just sitting , questioning and pointing fingers towards others without trying to take any step forward against corruption?

Pl post ur comments and views on this article to help me come up with better ones....  J 

Take care... see ya’ll soon .
