Are you raising a Man or a Beast?



When the doctor came out of the operation theater and announced, "It's a Boy" many faces lit up and cheered but the same faces didn't lit up an year later, when the announcement was " You are blessed with a baby girl."

And since that day the child was constantly reminded of the ill-fate she has brought to the family. She was denied the luxuries her brother was given and was often scolded when she raised the subject of partiality and injustice.

 
But she didn't give up, she fought and fought until she came face to face with the monster her own family has created. One night her brother returned home drunk with some of his friends and as soon as she opened the door the beasts pounded on her as if she was just a piece of flesh thrown in front of them to satisfy their hunger. She cried for help but no one came to her rescue. And this became her fate from the day thereafter.

Threatened  by the Beast that she will lose her life if she uttered a word about her ordeal to anyone, still she mustered enough courage to approach her own mother and sought her help. She was immediately suggested to keep her mouth shut if she wanted to survive, and do not discuss the matter with anyone as it would bring shame and dishonor to the family.
Some other terror filled nights followed after her first ordeal and then came a day, when she had nothing left to offer anyone as she was found brutally murdered in the corn fields. The first one to give a statement on the matter was the same Beast  which made her suffer and regret the day she was born.

The next day all read the headlines, " 18 Year old girl's naked body found in the corn field " the story contained words like love triangle, dishonor, eloping and the tragedy leaving the family shattered and ashamed of their own upbringing. The Beast was not the prime suspect but the girl who died became characterless over the night.

No one  was arrested and no one punished but the one who died. People passed comments such as that is what she deserved, she should not have fallen in love with two men, she was a whore and got her payback for being such.

So many innocent girls die because the proud mothers are so busy teaching their sons that they are a superior being. They can do anything, anytime and still they will be loved and respected cause it is their birthright.

Nothing will change until and unless we change the definition of Man, the mentality of Indians towards such things and the laws which punish the ones in question. Stop treating girls like a machine for reproduction and the pound of flesh necessary to fulfill your hunger, They are far more than that and every now and then they have proved their worth. Don't forget you won't be here if it weren't for her. And to all the mothers out there who have a son and a daughter, if you tell your daughter not to wear short clothes coz it might mark her as characterless then you should also tell your son that he should never have been born and put a bullet in his head at the same time.

Change will come only when we start changing ourselves. So are you ready to be the change you want to see?

It is high time each mother should ask this question to herself, " Are they really raising a Man worthy of such praise or just a Beast worthy of disgrace? "

I bleed Love

Sometimes I bleed, O I bleed Love
You can take all you want, but the memories are stuck
And in those memories I find a reason to smile.....I know we have not been together and its been a while
Still your melody my heart sings, still ur whispers are brought by the winds
Yes Sometimes I bleed, O I bleed Love
u can take my life in return still it is not a payment enough

Thoughts of a Restless Mind

Why is it so difficult to express oneself sometimes?
We are living in this ruthless world where there is no peace,no love and no feelings left. Everyone is trying to win this race of sophistication and power,but they are not aware of the fact that while running towards their destination they have left behind many people who could have even given their lives for them.
Life has become so complicated that people find it very convenient  to break any relationship whenever they want just for their own benefit. They never think about the feelings of the other person,not even once.
The biggest tragedy is that people are so blind-folded with money that they don't even give any respect to the love of their family,friends & beloved.
People give away all they have for what they want .Why can't it be that people remain happy with what they have and try to get what they want with the help of what they already have?
Nobody can give answer to these questions. But still in some corner of my mind these questions arise and all I can do is to share it with you ....The Thoughts of a Restless mind.

We are generation Next.

They say the world is advancing day by day and so are the people, but are the people really as advanced as they ought to be?
I have recently shifted back to my hometown from NCR. I don't know if it is just me or others also have the same pattern of thoughts that I have when I see, Generation Next. Very aptly given the title, THE INTERNET GENERATION. My heart really cries when I see them, as when we were kids we wondered how being this cool would be like, and what they turned out to be is really pathetic. I am happy that we only dreamed of it while we had all the fun stuff to actually do.
You can see them more engrossed in gadgets than books. Forgotten how it feels like playing a real cricket match or for that matter any game coz they are competing with their virtual counterparts day in day out.
Popularity for them now means having endless people connected on Facebook ( more apt name FAKEBOOK) and no. of likes on their photos. Hukkas, cigarettes , drinks, pub , discos, expensive clothes  & gadgets have become their way of showing off how advanced and high society they are. No matter which lounge you enter, you can see a bunch of school going kids dressed in attires which we had to earn by being exceptionally well behaved and deserving in our times.
Now it's just skin showing skimpy dresses, excessive use of hair products , funky accessories which can makes you hip and happening. Kids these days have access to everything very easily but if we see to it, are they making good use of the resources?
When we were in school watching an 'A' grade movie was considered bad by our parents and society, but now all the movies are of such type and who checks the ID proof while giving the tickets, same goes for serving drinks and other alcoholic ecstasies. There are laws made but Gen Next's upbringing is such that breaking the law has become their habit.
Yes  some kids are an exception but then who talks about them. If you come back from a big city then they assume you do all the things they think you do. The pain is unbearable when you try to convince them that what they are doing is wrong, they will keep defending themselves and god they are too good at it.
Who is to be blamed?
 The parents who think giving money to the kids instead of love and time is more easy....
or
The kids who think by acting above their age and not enjoying the childhood days they will be more prepared for the days to come.
I have talked with a few and seriously they have no insight whatsoever about LIFE.... They are confused, don't know what they want to do and where to begin or infact when to stop and say its enough.
They always want more.....More money, more fame, more love, more intoxication.... what they don't know is that excess of anything is harmful.
Will they learn with time or will they change the time for once and for all?
If being stupid, drunkard, snotty, snobbish and doing things which you should be doing after 20 years from now is considered advanced , then I would give anything to be backward.
Generation Next is the future they say, I say if this is the future than let there be no future at all.
