Let us live !!!

What’s with this rape every single day?...Why are babies being raped?... What is so joyful about hurting a baby girl??... Why don’t desperate men go in for prostitution and satisfy themselves!!...
There is so much going around us…awareness on rape is everywhere: yet we are helpless, every second day we read about a girl being raped and half the victims are minors; the fantasy of the culprit is to insert a bottle, an iron rod and what not!!...what kind of people are they!!…I don’t feel them calling animals too; it might just turn out to be an insult to the animal clad.
Why can’t law get strict? Why isn’t law taken seriously? …Why don’t people respect law?...Is India going to live all its life just like this; Knowing the bad and not knowing what to do to avoid the bad??...Why can’t women be treated any better? Do these men believe that women are not worth any better? Or is it because men claim to be superior in this society that they treat women this way! How do you think a 4 year old baby girl can provoke Rape?
Will these questions ever be answered??
The Delhi rape episode was more like a motivational factor for so many culprits; these desperate culprits are just following the same trend and there has been no stop from then.
I fear. I definitely live a secure life, but I still fear. I get restless when my little sister gets late to reach home, I fear every single day!!...It is not just I who fear, every women of this country does
For heaven’s sake Spare the innocent babies, Spare us women. Let us live a normal life…Let us live a life without fear.
JUST LET US LIVE.

Are we Superstitious!!!

Accept it or not, being an Indian we still have a little bit superstitiousness in us even to this day...We live in this modern era, claim to have a broad thinking, or you say we are more practical. But our culture and our tradition still holds us back to ancient days. Deep inside each one of us still have something very age old we believe in, which maybe very tradition or maybe very superstitious.
We are the people who still believe tying a holy thread around our wrist will protect us; Fasting on “Karvachauth” by women will bless their husbands with long life, offering a pooja is auspicious and so much more.
There is nothing to be ashamed of that. It’s our culture, it’s our belief. To a certain extent being superstitious can do good to us. Like you say wearing a certain ring on your finger can bring you luck. It may be true or maybe not. It’s just one’s belief; however the one thing which will surely improve is the positive energy and our self confidence. The Ring just plays a catalyst to us maybe improve our belief in ourselves, and just the fact that we know we have a luck factor makes us do things better and naturally we end up getting better results. This is Superstitious of course. Why not wear an accessory to boost our confidence and believe in yourself, rather than live a life full of negative thinking.
Our believes are not completely false. A lot of things were made with a scientific thought behind it. Wearing a certain kind of accessory was suggested because it drives positive energy. The term “Drive away the evil” was just another way of saying “avoid negative energy”. But it all changed because of our perceptions and interpretations. And the superstitious believes have changed from doing good and gone into being bad because our perceptions and interpretations did not go in the right way.
Fengshui, Vastu etc are not wrong. Reading them helps us understand the motive behind it. And it makes so much sense.
Like we claim we are the people from the modern era, it’s high time we realize the right motive and use our superstitiousness to do something good.
