How many more Mandeep kaurs?

 It was heart wrenching, mind boggling, head blasting and what more adjectives do I use to describe this incidence that took place in New York on August 4th, 2022.


Mandeep kaur, age 30, committed suicide as she had been violently abused, by her husband Ranjhodbeer, for 8 years.


How many such Mandeep kaurs do you know, who are constantly pushed to take such drastic step and end their lives at young age?

I am not justifying suicide, absolutely no. But what's their offence you ask? They cannot deliver a son, who would be the heir of the family to carry on the name and status of the clan ahead.

Name? Status? At the cost of their daughter-in-laws' lives? What are they talking about?


When will these ignorant, heedless species know the science behind reproduction? Do we shout aloud and let them know that giving birth to a girl child doesn't depend on the mother, but, the father!






We should have a program, an awareness campaign from the Government itself in all the villages, towns, cities to let these oblivious people know the laws of Chromosomes. 


But the above incident happened in New York. Ah! Well, the so called educated generation, working abroad is reluctant to cognize the truth too.


Which era are we living in? Men come home drunk and beat their wives as if it's their absolute duty to do so. Hitting someone who is inferior in strength to you, what kind of bravery is this?

The in-laws give a cold shoulder, to prevent their sons from appearing as villains. And the parents many a times ask their daughters to endure some more, ergo, their dignity remains intact.

We as neighbours shut our doors and windows so that the decibels reaching us are mellowed down. Why should we care? It's their personal problem! Isn't it a regular line you hear everywhere?


I know I am bombarding you readers with hundreds of questions here. I don't want anyone of you to answer me, but I want you to introspect and cogitate for your ownself, as to, where as a society are we going wrong?

We aren't bothered of the bumpy and potholes full of roads, we aren't bothered of illegal constructions happening everywhere, we don't want meddle when there's an accident on the road, we turn a blind eye when we see someone suffering.


We as a society are becoming inhumane.....are we? Think carefully what you can do to amend things!

Perfect family is a myth.

 Perfect family is a myth.... When the members laugh and giggle, They share the stories of their success and struggle, When kids in the house smile as they play, When, together the family eats and prays...... The elders are given respect, Such family has delightful prospect, Grand kids listen to tales from grandparents, Lullabies are sung, every night, inherent..... Happy faces are seen in imperfect frameworks, Holding onto each other tightly, gains some perks, Mistakes are meant to happen but everyone owns them, Not blaming each other and causing mayhem..... Can you help me? Isn't a strange question to ask, Nor is it inferior to seek help to complete task, Together, is how people are bound, Close knit, is best fit that sounds..... Family gets together for photographs, once in a while, There's chaos to line up and smile, Who stands where? And who sits next to whom, Total mess it is, but a piece of heirloom...... Traditions are carried forward, Sometimes willingly, sometimes awk...

Which diagonal lane?

 What should I wear? The most customary question that haunts every woman. And it was our school reunion after, nearly 20 years. So I had to look my best. It's a different high that you get when you are confident among the school friends and classmates, whether it's carrying yourself dignified enough or it's conveying that you've attained a position for yourself. Specially to the ones, you used to compete with. When, I never compromised on my rank in school, how could I compromise on my appearance and presentation to the same set of classmates? So I picked up an elegant dress and accessories to match. And Vollaa! I was ready to go. Driving your own car to the venue is dope on another level. I didn't know the locality so I switched on the maps. The 'Map lady' started with her instructions, in that monotonous voice. And let me tell you, the way this foreign woman pronounces Indian names of roads, it's sometimes hilarious. You've to keep looking down, zo...

Longing for December!

Image
Those chilly winds.... Those cold nights..... Those pellucid skies.... Those snowy aisles.... I long for that December, I dream and always remember...... The warmth of the quilts, The cosiness of hugs.... Sipping some hot coffee, Flavours of vanilla, chocolate and hazelnuts...... I long for that December, I dream and always remember...... Silent nights, Long walks.... Quick bites, Short talks.... I long for that December, I dream and always remember..... Birthdays, Holidays, Christmas and New years, Celebrating with friends, close ones and dears.... Love the wintry weather, Wrapped up in a sweater....... I long for that December, I dream and always remember..... JUI.
