Indian Girls: Don’t teach us what to wear teach your sons not to rape and respect us!



On one hand I hear loud voices shouting for justice for the poor girl who was raped publicly by 6 men couple of weeks back and on the other hand, 2 more cases have been registered during this time. It came to me as a big shock that victims of more than 70 thousand rape cases are still waiting for a decision. 
 
Since quite a few days I am connected to few people from Australia. They got connected as clients but end up becoming great pals. We often spend quality time together. Every time we sit to chit chat, they have something or the other to talk about their love and respect for India and its people. Not even a single conversation ends without praise for the culture, tradition, values and other richness of the nation. I cannot explain how much proud I used to feel hearing those golden words from them. Anyways, I have always heard about India being praised all around the globe. 

Today, I feel ashamed about being a part of such a nation. What’s more disappointing is that the youth is being suppressed than being supported. I myself witnessed the huge crowd and the acts of suppression by our own countrymen.


I totally agree with the thought that I saw in one of the banners at the protest:
Girl: Don’t teach us what to wear teach your sons not to rape and respect us!

 
 
Our society needs to be reformed at least in terms thoughts. Rather than just teaching values, we need to teach respect & honor towards women without whom men can’t even enter the world.

    There's been a tendency to blame the women for everything in our country and the fact that their dressing sense is being blamed for rapes is a gross oversight. Sadly, the way they are objectified and "itemised" in our songs doesn't help matters much, though it'd be unfair to entirely blame it.
    It all should come from within, from our family values, neighbourhood, friend circle, etc. Doing my bit for the cause and hoping it'll all add up and improve things.

Significance of Social Media Marketing: Content, its Reach or Campaign?

My experience of 4 years in content writing and digital marketing doesn’t give me enough right to start sharing my views on how any company should plan its marketing efforts. I am still new to the industry and have to learn a lot before I start advising. Yet my association with different start-up has given me a confidence to express my views about the use and relevance social media marketing for businesses. Content has been regarded as king in search engine optimization and content has importance in social media too. But, is it the content only that can work in full scale marketing of a business, at least when it comes to social media? I believe, definitely content drives but its viral-ity in the form of campaign is equally important. Content can be in the form of images, videos, statements, information etc. Different forms of content works in different forms of mediums. For example, images work more on Facebook but less on other mediums. Likewise, one needs to figure out on the ...

“Follow your Heart”, Do we really do that?

I often hear this statement “Follow your Heart” from many people around. Often mentors, teachers and friends tell us to do this. We can read stories guiding people that they should do things according to what they feel is right. But do we really do that? Do we even spend a single day as per our own choice? We go to school, as we are expected to go to school. We take up a job, as we are expected to take one. We marry, as we are expected to marry till some defined age or so. What do we do with our choice? AND In case you dare to actually “Follow your Heart”… Be ready to become a laughter element for the society. This is why no one dares to “Follow their Heart”. But what if Albert Einstien also decided not to be different? We would have lost a wonderful knowledge guru and would have been refrained by his great theories and philosophies. And what if Sir Columbus had also decided to stop his craving for traveling? America would not have been discovered too. These ar...

Steps to Un-complicate your life

Love yourself : Don’t go beyond what’s intolerable for you. Being in relationship doesn’t means you will have to keep a knife hanging around your neck. But this is what generally happens. Stop doing what you don’t want to and do whatever makes you happy. That’s the true fun in living. Learn a lesson from past affairs and get the hell out of the present: One should always learn from the mistakes made in past. Leave it, if it’s too hard to carry and just move ahead. No regrets too please. If things move normally, it’s good, If not then let it be and learn from the experience. Concentrate on what’s really important: Prioritize in life. Put those things on top, that matters to you and make it work for you. Leave those things aside that makes you sad. Focus on the results and not mere transactions: Don’t just keep yourself busy but focus on the deliverables. Though keeping yourself busy is the easiest thing one can do but removing complications is possible only if y...
