What's happening!!!!! Hey mor durvaga desh

Gosh!!! What's happening to my motherland. First Guwahati and now its Mumbai.... a girl is openly harassed and stripped, well almost, in broad day light by Janata.

Do you remember what happened in Guwahati,  few months back???? Two young girls merely 16 or 17 years of age were chased by  a rowdy mob as soon as they came out of a pub/ nightclub. One of the girls ran away. But the other one was caught. After that what happened was captured by a cameraman from a news channel and went viral. She was slapped.. stripped... molested.... burnt with cigarette.... whenever she cried public jeered at her.... as if she was some silly plaything. No one came to aid her until police arrived. The cameraman didn't even try to help her, rather he filmed the whole incident. Irony personified
.......

Let's get back to Mumbai. Two girls were on a auto rickshaw. Suddenly they realised that they were out of money. They requested the autowala to bear with them. One of the girls went to borrow money from one of her relative. But when she didn't return within the stipulated time fixed by the autowala.... he started to heckle the poor girl. She handed him over her cell but he wanted his money. The heated argument between them attracted local hooligans playing street cricket.... scared girl started running but was caught and kicked, slapped, heckled, stripped.... and off course molested. She barged into a restaurant but was shooed away.... she tried to board another auto but was pulled out of it.... god knows what could happen when a bike rider and a police man rescued her.

Hats off to Mumbai police.... they convinced her to press charges... initially she had refused to do so. They even captured 3 people associated with the heinous crime.

Women silently fighting for their rights

Women's day is over. Mother's day is coming. Our society has changed a lot. These days women are treated with more respect. They are more aware of their rights. Even a domestic help knows what is gender equality though she may not know the exact term. I'm not talking about the metropolitans only but also about the rural India. Here is a story read in a Bengali daily, Ei samay ....... I was completely awe struck by the courage and tenacity of that girl.

Some where in south 24 Parganas she lives with her 5 year old boy. She is 18 by the way. She lost her father at a very young age. Her mother was a domestic help. Poor lady, the mother had to leave for work every morning in order to earn bread for the family. The girl was in School and a good student, I mean not a very brilliant one but still..... one day in her mother's absence at the age of  mere 12 she was raped by a neighbour. She was threatened with dire consequences. Being scared she didn't share with anybody until she was pregnant.

Local kangaroo court asked her to abort the illegitimate child and the rapist was ordered to bear the expenditure for the abortion...... can you believe it?????? Even her mother and brother agreed with the verdict.... but she refused to obey the verdict. That was the beginning of the true ordeal. They were out casted. A police complaint was finally launched. The bloody paedophile was arrested. Despite the social stigma she gave birth to her boy. She had to bid goodbye to her school. They were forced to leave their village.

The irony is that the rapist was acquitted and even got married. But the victim is still single, leaving in lurch with her mother and son. The boy is admitted to a School. Being a single mother she has to work hard.

Hats off to her!!!!!! What a lady!!!!! She still dreams....

Happy women's day

Happy women's day. On this day I would like to remind you once again the Bhowri devi incident of Rajasthan. Bhowri Devi was brutally raped,gang raped to be precise, why because she simply tried to stop child marriage. Astonishingly none of the accused were punished. Yes each and every rapist were acquitted. This enraged some NGO named Bishaka. They suo moto filed a lawsuit against harassment of women at workplaces as a result the famous Bishaka Guidelines come into force. Bishaka guidelines are thing of the past. After the Nirbhaya incident Sextual harassment Act, 2013 came into force.

Sounds cliche huh!!! Okay fine. Let's talk about Linkan Subudhi, an Oria techi from Noida. She teaches slum children at Noida in her spare time. One day she came to know that one of her students, a 11 years old girl was about to get married. She ran to stop her family from doing this and you know what? She is brutally beaten even stabbed.

Justice has not delivered yet.

Marry One Get One Free.

Elections have been declared... whole country is gearing up.Speculations are in the air. Every single page of every newspaper is full of election related news. But amidst these hustle and bustle something caught my eyes in today's Anandabazar Patrika.

This place is called Duttapukur in North 24 Parganas District of West Bengal, where a minor girl was raped few days after the infamous Kamduni incident took place in the very same district. When the poor mother took her raped minor daughter to the Duttapukur Police Station to lodge an FIR they were forcefully convinced that it was just a mere mistake. Momentary impulse. In order to correct his misdeed the boy was keen to marry her...on that day ....in that very place...I mean in the P.S. A Marriage Registrar was called and ignoring the fact that she was a minor then he did his job. The rapist and the rape victim was declared as Men & Wife. No one month notice was served though. Happy ending right????????? Total Filmy !!!!!!!!!!

But the real ordeal started after the marriage. Oh I forgot to mention that the rapist was a 22 years old engineering student, as reported. Suddenly he found his older sister in law very attractive. He wanted to sleep with her too. But one ooopsssss! Marry one and get one get free.huh!!!!!! Anyways he sent so many obscene messages to her through Whats-app. A gizmo rapist I must say. But  all his proposals of making love were refused with disdain. Then he started torturing his wife both mentally and physically  who was expecting by the way.

Poor mother went to police station with both her daughters..... but the police was more interested in a conciliation... finally on their appeal Hon'ble High Court has intervened and the accused is arrested.

I dont know how long they would be able to fight. In our country the general approach is its  nothing domestic problems. God save them.

sau chuhe khake billi haj ko chali.......

Mr N.D. Tewari........what a scumbag, disgusting person you are. Even at the age of 84, being the Governor of a State, you tarnished the pious image of Rajbhavan by sleeping with three girls at a time. You cried foul after being caught. You slept with someone... became the father of her son but again denied your paternity. When he filed a lawsuit you refused to go through the DNA mapping even. When it was proved that he is your biological child, what did you say, "I have every right to live my life my way. No one has the right to look into my private life." And what happened now??? sau chuhe khake billi haj ko chali?

The Mistress Of the Game- Sidney Sheldon & Tilly Bagshaw

This is the sequel of the Master of the Game. I haven’t read the prequel, so was bit sceptic at the beginning. But after reading hardly 2/3 pages I completely forgot that. The story is more or less the same. The struggle for power, for the chairmanship of the business empire of Kruger- Brent. Mighty Kate Blackwell is dead, leaving behind her two grand daughters Alex and Eve. Alex is happily married to Peter Templeton and their son Robbie is the legal heir of the Kruger-Bent. The ugly scheming Eve is unhappily married to a Doc. Keith. Both the sisters conceives but Alex dies after giving birth to a beautiful baby girl “Lexi”. Lexi Templeton is the main protagonist…. She is the Mistress of the game. She has a turbulent childhood. The death of Alex shatters Peter…. He sinks into liquor…the warmth of father-son relationship has long gone…they become complete stranger to each other… Robbie’s homosexuality adds insult to injury…But they both love Lexi unconditionally…. . Robbie feels suffocated…. He loves to explore life…. He has a strong passion for playing piano….. One day he leaves home leaving everything to his dear sister Lexi….

At the age of 8 only Lexi is kidnapped and is sexually harassed too. Though The FBI finally manages to save her but she loses her hearing capacity. Being a deaf woman would she be able to shoulder the responsibility.

Eve on the other hand has a son named Max. He carries Eve’s wicked legacy and hatred. He not only hates his cousins Robbie and Lexi but also hates his father Keith. The hatred is so intense that he kills his father at the age of 10 only.

Time flies. Both Max and Lexi grows up. They are each others toughest competitor. Hate each other openly but deep down something else is brewing. Is it Love, who knows?? What happens next??? Who finally gets Kruger-Brent……The book is full of twists and turns. Definitely a good book. Full of surprises. Crispy language. But some questions remain unanswered…. Like who was the mastermind behind Lexi’s kidnapping??? What happened to Eve??? She apparently loses her sanity then how come she knows everything???

Lastly I simply hated what happenes to Gabe’s wife Tara and his children… it was totally uncalled for.
