The Inhuman Act

It’s not that Amanat’s is the first case of its kind. Randomly pick a newspaper, flip the pages, skim through, and you’ll find the black letter ‘rape’ inscribed therein. The most under-reported crime is so high on stats that every 54 minutes the heinous act is committed in India (as on records, omitting the off-record ones).

 The protests, candle marches, debates and opposition accusing the ruling parties – all this would probably flash away and become just a prominent media history – unless the douche bags (pardon me for using the word, but they deserve no less) are severely tried  Live example is right here. The 23 year old was victimized on December 16 (Sunday). This was in news few hours later with loud protests all over. The very next day (on Monday) a three-year-old was raped in the same city. Two days later(Wednesday), another teen was gang raped in Bhubaneswar (there are definitely many others, but not in news). Not that the assaulter in each of the last two cases wasn’t aware of the former hooligans. Not that the police wasn’t alert on Monday or later. But the incident still happened.

The question here is, have the dark clouds overheaded the conscience so badly that just for the sake of momentary pleasure or grudge/anger outburst, the humanity within is murdered? This loathful act causes a permanent tarnish. The physical and mental bruise cannot be healed ever.

Keeping in view our future, the assaulters should be so harshly chastised that the days to come become less scary for the vulnerable sex. Let us pray for those who became the preys of inhumanity. Let us also pray for a better tomorrow of our world. It is never a delight writing such news or speaking about such an event. Let's protest and appeal our government to make stringent rule to punish the miscreants in harshest imaginable ways that compel the offenders regret about their act each second. 

Over to the legislation that is supposed to be our savior..

They say GROW UP when they mean GROW YOUNG

Ever seen a toddler giggling with his heart out? Nothing can be more soothing than his laughter and nothing can be truer than his innocent tears.

Ever experienced the life-enriching feeling when an unknown child looks at you in a crowd and gives you a hearty smile? The child doesn't know the art of concealing his feelings. That makes him dearer and more charming.

This is how God created each of us with innocence, purity and truth. But as we grew, we wrapped the gift with ego and masked our beautiful faces with artificialism.

"Growing up" is synonymous to being yourself - simple & pure. It's understanding the essence of life in small and beautiful moments. Growing up is taking life easy just like a child does. He doesn't carry the burden of hard feelings to the next day. Growing up is being spontaneous - If you love someone, express it. If you hate an act, say it.

You would be thinking, what if I feel like slapping someone hard or bursting out my anger without giving a second thought as that would probably be a spontaneous act ? Would that be appropriate ? The answer would be an obvious No. Because growing up gives us a natural sense of wisdom, maturity and tactfulness. These should be reflected in parallel when our true self is manifested.

So if you haven't grown up yet, close your eyes and see the child in you. You'll find, growing up is the easiest and the most amazing experience of life !!
