Everywhere we see the glaring images of people groaning in pain, incessant scenes of confusion, bloodshed, personal tragedy of families and so on. ...

A view of greenery,

The silence of nature,

But there is nothing “Natural” about this scene.

Instead of chirping,

All we hear is the hissing of the burning tyres.

It is a scene after a serial blast.

As time progresses we can hear the lower tones

Of humans moaning out of pain.

It is a scene of death.

A murder of human spirit.

A murder of humanity.

A murder of the democratic spirit;

Anything-aspiring equality;

Anything inspiring truth;

Or striking the soul for a change:

Why is violence sought out?

Why is it seen as the means to attaining Equality?

Is “Bloodshed” the means to a fair end?

Why is the act of disillusioned humans regarded as ‘glory’ by groups?

I strictly base this writing on what I consider is my understanding of the subject; what I have witnessed from my briefest of contact with real rural India and which I have debated with myself a million times. 33% reservation for women!!!!!!!! This has been taken up as the call of the hour the need of our times……I say why not….. QUESTION: Women have always wanted EQUALITY in our society; so why now this 33% reservation………. THE REALITY: EQUALITY has for long been the passion of women’s movement worldwide; just like other how everyone who is socially conscious longs for peaceful, just, equal world. But is this so in the real context. What we long for needs time for achievement. But progressive aspects like “EQUALITY” happen only when De Jure and De Facto fall on similar planes ………… In reality women lack equal footing in many cases, this 33% would be a boost towards achieving a push forward. Also women Panchayat leaders are looki...

Ahem...to start with....

"I don't need to compromise my principles, because they don't have the slightest bearing on what happens to me anyway."-Calvin I love this comment and I believe all of us have had times when we felt this way. Life is made of choices and chances. More than personal choice there is always the aspect of chance which leads the way!!! All of us have has instances where there was very little personal choice and more of a chance that led to an outcome. As you keep battling out things in life you sooner or later find it evident that though your choices win the battle the chances are the determinants of the war.
