Big bad world
Iam glad that I finally got down to writing this post that I so badly wanted to write, after a week of endless procrastination:
An empathetic,socially responsible,selfless woman activist tries her best to curb the meaningless,preposterous and superstitious tradition of child marriage by trying to talk sense to people and this is what happens to her : Hands severed,she lies in hospital, battling the pathetic twist that life meted out to her as a reward for her efforts.
A college girl goes shopping with her girl gang.She meets her friend there.This guy takes her to his place on some "exchange books" pretext and gang-rapes her along with his friends.The innocent girl now spends her life in solitude, battling ostracization, shame and extreme depression : a price she had to pay for trusting a friend!
These are just two of the umpteen stab-in-the-back incidents that have caught my attention of late.Values,undoubtedly is a personal thing,but what a shame to see even the most universal and basic of them being thrown to the winds!What a shame to live in a world where trust is broken at the drop of a hat n noble causes are repaid with infliction of untold suffering! Reminds me of this:
Watch out for the big bad world,
it's coming at you now.
Baby girl it's a big bad world,
so let me show you how to survive
and to keep the love alive
in this big bad world - yeah!
[/Chorus]
It's not about bad expectations,
I'm just saying that you need to be aware.
No one said it'd be easy, so believe me,
I'm a pain because I care.
Don't you know you're a part of something more,
someday you'll discover what your life is for........

Yeah. There is certainly lot of bad things out there. But there are lot of good things also out there which is outweighing the bad things and keep this world running. And that is certainly a reason for us to be cheerful and optimistic :)
Definitely Jha saab....It would be so tough to pull through every single day if there had been a dearth of good to outweigh the bad...eg:You to outweigh Varun :-p
The whole point was just to highlight the fact that there is a huge erosion of values.Responsible citizens need to be guaranteed their right to live a secure life.
Lovely blog..! im hooked..! I totally agree with you on this. This completely reaffirms my faith in Darwin’s theory and how, sadly, some of us missed the evolution bus. A point to ponder could also be whether it is only men who did so (with obvious reference to ur previous post). Im not quite sure what it is – I think its probably this need for man for periodically prove to himself that he is the stronger sex and he can control the ‘weaker’ gender. It probably gives men a sense of accomplishment, a sense that they rule the world, a trophy for our insatiable ego. And the shocking part is that this kind of behavior is not restricted to the uneducated section of the society. I don’t really know what could be a solution for this. In a country which is virtually run by a woman, and at least 3 states I know of run by women, this is a very sad state of affairs.
