Think before you leap

'' Think before you leap.''

This phrase is to be mandatorily adapted in our daily life. To move around in delhi and NCR, its getting tougher and ridiculous to survive as a decent citizen or earning respect as a woman of any age group. Women are not atall safe at any point of time/place. It has become a major concern about the safety of woman.

The recent gangrape in Noida and few other incidents before that has created a lot of tension and riftamong the woman especially and individual across the nation. The parents and senior citizen are traumatised because of the shameless blunder and anti social elements in society. We as responsible citizen have to seriously eradicate this psychological disorder of man at par with terrorism.
This psychpath criminals(rapist)should be punished by the people and government through castration and ousting them of teh civilised society. So taht next time there is no scope of any other individual to get into any such kind of dubious criminal activities. Lets us not feel deprived about our livelihood and enjoy all our fundamental rights. But being a bit more cautious and fearless and be more vigilantand responsible towards the society.

Anger, Anger, Anger

I stay in Mumbai, which is considered to be comparatively safer than Delhi NCR for women. Still this does not give me an assurance that I can return to the safety of my home at any time of the day or the night. I am regular local train commuter. I travel in the ladies compartment but you know what - I could still get harassed by men if I am not alert . You may ask where is the chance? The chance is on the platform and more so on the overcrowded over bridge. If you stray from the cluster of few women, % chances are there that you would be victimized. The usual modus operandi is that when a women is in the midst of crowd, a sick guy coming towards you would just move his hand so that while passing you he could pinch or feel your butt I have experienced this thrice and twice have been able to hit the guys. At other times I have been able to avoid this by keeping my eyes open and hands ready in hitting position.
The day when I wasn’t so lucky, my head was throbbing and I was burning with anger. I kept wishing if I could hit that BASTARD. This is nothing compared to what a rape victim has to go through. Her trauma is unimaginable. And just think how she must feel when the rapist(s) goes/ go scot-free.
What has been done cannot be undone but if such heinous crime goes unpunished what message are we sending across to the other SICK @$$HOLES? Such guys should be hanged with that very organ which controls their thought process and prevents them from thinking sanely. And they should be hung till it separates from their body leaving them castrated.

P.S. Why do we always have to look upto men for security? The constable guarding the ladies compartment at night are males. What happens if you are the lone traveller and his sense of duty takes a back seat? Why are we at the mercy of men and for how long? Such crimes won't stop until the punishment given to them is SO SO SO cruel that such men would shiver even at the thought of raping a female.

A Viable Solution to the Problem

The shameful incident of the gang rape of the 24-year-old that took place yesterday in Noida made me cringe in pain. The Delhi-NCR region is largely becoming unsafe for women. What is even worse is that whenever such an incident takes place, there is but a momentary media hype followed by talk shows, SMS polls, et al, which is of little help to the victim. On the contrary, she is further tortured by her pain being publicised as a national news. No one understands what she must be going through and what effect must it be bearing on her already traumatised being.

This is not the first time that such an unfortunate incident has taken place. What is even more unfortunate is that seldom such cases are solved. The Maulana Azad Medical College and the Swiss Diplomat Rape Cases still remain pending in the courts of law. Considering this scenario, it seems that justice might come, but not before the constant poking and social stigma have robbed the victims off their lives, something what happened in the Hetal Rape Case of Kolkata. The justice came ten long years after the death of the victim. And even after that, despite the accused being awarded the death sentence, the debates were going if the death sentence should be reduced to life imprisonment or something even less than that.

Taking such circumstances into account, it seems evident that it is futile to rely on the legislature for justice. At least in the cases (like in the recent one), where the accused have been arrested, identified, and what more, they have even admitted their crime, the solution is that without victimising the girl any further, the culprits are castrated in public. The trials and further court proceedings may continue at their own pace.

Let it be a lesson for those who think that owing to the slow legislature of the country, they can easily victimise a girl and still go free

anguish!!!

I am emotionally shattered and traumatised with the recent incident. This trauma has all the more incised immence anger within me towards men race. Are we paying the depth of being the weaker sex. It is turning into a curse. "Rape" this four letter word doesnt really sounds as scary as it is for the person who had suffered it. This atrocious incident has incited anger which in turn is turning into madness, this madness will take a ugly shape and lead to a social catastrophe if this continues.
It becomes difficult to sleep thinking about something that happened but hasnt been witnessed. I can literally feel the trauma inside. It shatters our soul. Why cant i walk on the road without turning around to check if am not followed, will i never be independent enough to walk freely on my own.
I have learnt to live with the hungry staring eyes and uninvited touches. But how long ...i am screaming my lungs out...how long. Why has god shut his eyes towards weaker sex.
Although we shoudnt be doing this but still we are folding are hands in front of the society " please help us, so we can help ourselves" For once show the world what can happen when you dont treat a woman like human bieng"

"Gangrape should undoubtly be punished with death sentence.....after the torture.."

Is being a woman is a fault???

The recent gangrape incident in noida might be a passing phase for many or maybe just a piece of news which is highlighted, propogated and than put into as information. Most of the news about this incident and many like them are often placed or made as if a story being told. I as a citizen and woman feel really restless and claustophobic in this double standard society. Are man of indian society so dubious and frustrated that to prove their masculity they have to play with a woman's life. I dont want to be philosophical or a preacher and neither intend to put man as the hunter and woman as prey. What i want to say is lets not prove ourself to be so inhuman.
Is this 21st century where we belive that every individual inspite of ther cast creed gender and any discrimination will put their right foot forward and contribute in the nation's development. But is this the society we are looking for our future children. I think its time enough that we should prove ourself to be HUMAN for once. The rapist are not human so lets not talk about human rights this time please :) There are many time we abuse a woman, think her to be apiece of shit, a doormat. Lets respect her for once and if not anything lets respect thegender which has given us birth. Im sorry i mite sound frustrated, angry, pleading, restless, submissive, outrageous or many more english words, but am not. Am just trying to be human for once.

We need instant decision to be taken about those rapist. We want no more excuses. Lets join together and prove a point that it not that easy to keep us down. We want the rapist to be castrated. Simple as that. IF THEY CAN RAPE A WOMAN THEY ARE NOT MAN FOR SURE. sO CASTRATION WOULD MAKE THEM REALISE THEY ARE NO MORE PART OF THIS CIVILISED SOCIETY ANYMORE. tHEY SHOULD BE OUTCASTED AND SHOWED THEIR PATH TO MASCULINITY IN THEiR OWN WAYS.

Please make a difference .

Hope TO COMPLETE THAT BY FEBRUARY 1ST 2009 AND THAN AWAITING FOR A LONG RUN IN THE AREA WHICH I ALWAYS CHERISHED TO BE PART OF THE SOCIAL ACTIVITIES RATHER THan SOCIAL WORK. I want to be socially responsible towards myself and the world around and would like to take the onus on me to be a better citizen of India as well as world. Mite be sounding like a preacher now but that is my inner words. Introspection, Retrospection and loads of action with a proper plan is the motto ahead. Hope you guys will have a rocking year ahead.
