This is what shambles the society

Now here again we get to hear in news something which is full of stupidity. The issue of casteism. A bollywood movie ‘Aaja Nachle’ meaning ‘come over and dance’, was released last month on November the 30th. And after some days the NCSC- National commission for schedule castes authority people fires up a numb controversy on the lyrics of a song in the movie. It says, ‘bazaar mein machi hai maramaar, bole mochi bhi khud ko sunhar’ means, There is so much chaos in the market that even a cobbler is calling himself a jeweller… the point is here the word ‘mochi- cobbler’ is actually related to one of the schedule sub caste, which is considered as one of the lower castes has been targeted. In the capital, activists of the dalit outfit Indian justice party staged a demonstration alleging that the lyrics of the song hurt the dalits.

The only thing makes me think on this is ‘Why and How’ would the verse in the song can be so offensive? First point is that it is really an idiotic behavior to rise such a stupid issue and to protest and to ban the entire movie. And the second point is there is neither special intention nor any ill idea of the person who have written the song, and it is obvious. And even some poor fishes from politics want apology and the resignation of the chairman of the Indian censor board, And also from the makers of the film.

Imagine how dullard this people are. For no reason they getup and start rebelling for unwanted and unnecessary issues which shows immense idiotic brains they have. And for what benefit they want the resignations and apologies from those who don’t even do mistakes. And even if they prune and apologize in front of everyone these idiots who don’t know what to do right for the society make wrongs to create problems amongst the unified people in the country. Just think on this for minute and small issues which can create problems in near future which is why we lack something which can also be advantageous for the society.

If a community or the entire society has to be developed these sort of rampant and chaotic events should never ever be raised.

No wonder…but hurts..

I read this news in the Sunday edition of DNA; November the 4^th, 2007 that a female call center employee was allegedly raped by the driver and his assistant. Again the same story of rape and murder, as we read in the newspaper everyday. And often we just blow away the news thinking that “oh c’mon it happens almost every day that somewhere in some part of the world a female gets raped”. Sometimes news like a female child is raped or a woman is raped often can be read. But we never think it deeply from the inner side and why should we?  And as every individual even I have to say the same’ “if it was our sister, mother, girlfriend or our wife what would have been the situation and what will be the position of our mind?

 

The victim is an employee of, Wipro in Pune. She finished her job around 10.30pm and was on the way to home in the employee transportation vehicle. The vehicle was driven to a nearby village area in the fields where she was allegedly raped by two drivers and killed her thrashing her face with the stone.

  Rape and murder news is becoming common nowadays with female call center employees. And also it is not so often we read or hear the news of this kind of crimes. Because, we know that it can never happen inside the premises because the interior is so much secured with guards and CCTV cameras that it is impossible to let it happen. But still sexual activities are common in call centers. Now, we can think for a moment that even if the areas are so much secured and guarded how come this activities does take place? Some sections can’t be listed in the secured and guarded areas, like smoking zones, garages and obviously not inside the toilet rooms.

I was working for an international call center for one year; but there was no such incident happened but have heard several news of such kind from other work places that girl working in call center either raped by her boyfriend or the driver of the employee transportation vehicle. As far as I know security is fine. But yes! how can you just face-read a person?  Whenever the call center employee gets a drop in the late nights they are called by the transportation desks of the company asking them if they have safe landed or not. And this thing should be nicely understood by everyone related to a female employee relative. Well, the victim dies a bad death and the culprit gets the punishment. They still survive whereas, the poor victim is dead.

I have heard that in Arab countries they dangerously punish the criminals there. The one who robs have to lose his hands and the one who rapes have to lose his so called sexual organ. Isn’t it great? I am not sure if this happens*.  I mean, if this is something we call justice; Then this is justice of full percentage with no loss.

 

Such incidents should not be sympathized but have to be felt from the heart. I have never heard that a male has been raped. I have read in a book (The great Indian dream- Arindham Chaudhry) that if a man sees a lonely woman in a deserted field the first thing he will think is about sex. And yes it is 100% right. Isn’t it? I write such articles just because I feel like I should write. But every time I have to think do we really live in a happy place. It was Lord Ravana the lord of evils from Ramayana who abducted Sita, wife of Lord Ram. We all know that he was attracted to her so he kidnapped her. I say that he loved her as a part of his crush on her, its my opinion. Ram killed Ravana; Sita was safe. Though she was under his guards observation; he never even touched her and neither had he taken the advantage. And one special thing is that she was in observation under female guards. This king of evil is chivalrous don’t you think? Its fine with this holy epic, but human is human and he will never change.

Can this Happen? If yes…then stop it.

 One month ago I saw movie in which a regular sports theme was shown, it was a game of hockey and the passion to make the nation proud. Everything was perfect, scene to scene, no romance and no songs around the tress in the gardens. Bollywood has given a simple but different mode and kind of movie with a thick and a strong story base.

The story starts with a men’s hockey match between India and Pakistan; a final. The camera moves on our protagonist Shahrukh Khan played ‘Kabir Khan- Captain of the Indian men’s hockey team’. Then the scene comes ahead and the captain is shown falling down by some Pakistani player; it’s a penalty and the Indians get a chance to win the final and win the world cup at the closing stage of the game and the captain decides to take the stroke. The ball goes just some inches above the goal and he fails to spot the ball inside the goal. India loses the match and more importantly the world cup goes to Pakistan.

Captain is shown perturbed and full of agitation. The captain of the other team comes and compliments him for his best try and shakes hands and gives him a light hug. This scene is captured by a camera of a journalist and the sordid mind of the same reporter spreads the shambolic news that the world cup final was a setup because the captain of the Indian team is a Muslim. The whole media trembles the nation with this news and leave the decision for the public. And hence everyone thinks and curses him to hell just because Kabir Khan is a Muslim and supported the Pakistan’s team.

And Kabir Khan is in a deep shame with a reason of losing the game because the goal was missed and lost the world cup. Even the people from his surrounding call him and write traitor outside his house. By this brainless act of the people he has to leave and move out from his own house. Everybody thinks of him as a traitor just because of one stupid mistake done by a reporter.

But in reality the character is an Indian player first and then a Muslim individual. Imagine just because of this simple and teeny stupidity how an innocent person has to face the world. Every frame of the movie portrays some amount of reality.

And if this happens in reality, the fact will be that media and journalism is of no use because, journalism is a purpose of revealing the truth from the lies and to present the news in the most objective and unbiased way to serve the public good. Allover comes to authenticity.

I know it’s just a movie but sometimes maybe things can happen like this; if it does then it’s a shame on media and no media person will like to be a part of this kind of wrong doing. Anyways, the movie did well on the box office and I hope whatever in the movie is shown should never ever happen. What do you people think?

Is this right for the news business?

I read a news article in DNA on August the 10th one of the famous newspapers in Mumbai. It was written by Rajdeep Desai the editor in chief of CNN-IBN. The article said ‘Headlines tomorrow- the public has choice, the market has ratings. But it’s the journalists who will still decide the future of news’. And yes personally what I feel is right what he said. Everyday we read newspapers, listen to the radio, and watch news on television. And all we get to see is the daily reports and breaking news everyday. But what is really happening in the news. Celebrity sharing a peck in a party. Just like the news when the Bollywood hottie Bipasha Basu was smacked down in a party by the footballer Cristiano Ronaldo. And then the whole story started. Most of the news channel in India started involving this small un-required event as a part of the breaking news. Does it make sense? Even this same news was in continuance for almost two days in the print media. And people are reading it more attentively rather than reading the other news stuff. And yes, why not? She is one of the Bollywood’s queens. And this is not enough even Shilpa Shetty another Bollywood hottie was a part of the news when she was tightly kissed by Richard Gere in an event organized as an AIDS campaign. And the naughty Rakhi Sawant was kissed by some Punjabi pop-star it was a big news. And all these news were seen on millions of television sets and aired in every part of the nation. Might be the President and the Prime minister of India enjoyed it. God knows? It’s a fact. And that is what people like to read, listen and watch. Otherwise, if everyday, if we keep giving the news of the same kind starting from politics ending with sports might be the future of newspapers will be in a pickle. And tabloids are all with these kind of news stories. Majority of the college students in the city purchase a tabloid a complete package of events with entertainment and short news. And that is why if the sales rate of a regular newspaper is concerned with the tabloids; tabloids are the highest seller. Because it’s more handy and comfortable to take anywhere plus a complete entertainment pack. The point here is not that which source of media is the highest seller or which newspaper sells the best or the rise and decline of the newspaper company. The only reason of writing this article is to mention the fact and the scenario as a whole for the news world. Because, reporters and journalists are the only source of news otherwise who else will fetch up the happenings in the society. I am really not aware of what kind of news stories are shown on the television in other parts of the world but as far as my own country is concerned I must convey my little message to you all people. And yes Mr. Desai is all right from his point of view because; it’s the journalists who are responsible for the news whether it’s good or bad. We people must know the reality we are facing from years. There are a lot of problems we have but majority of us are not aware what are they? So I cannot predict that what is going to happen tomorrow maybe a riot in a local area or some another celebrity smooching someone on the road. What will be the news according to you? The time of smooching and how they were doing it or the reason of the riot and who were behind this social problem causing harm to some humans. Its upon you people to choose the correct news and the journalists should be responsible for all the best news generated.

The First Visit…..to hell

It was always happening with me like I always felt that I should try to do something different but what I get to see is something else is happening. It was the unusual day for me because; this was the first time in my life that I was out in the night. And only because, some of my office colleague said “lets go and have a beer”.  So we took a taxi and we four of us were on our way. While the taxi was running on the road where silent is expected but all you see is people still walking on the road even in the mid-night on the streets of Mumbai. I asked Sam, “Which place and which bar is open for us in such an odd time”? He said, “Just shut up and come with us. So we reached the destination, he paid to the taxi driver and then he said, “This is the bar and this is the red light area”. I was out of my mind… I mean, a red light area such a weird place for a youngster like me who is suppose to be at home and sleeping on his bed and dreaming. So finally we entered the bar. But I was confused because, almost all the businesses in the city should be taking rest after working the whole day. But no. this is the only bar which is open 24/7. Even this calculation is wrong because, the bar never gets closed. It runs even it has been shut downed from the front side but opened from back side. Nice for drunkards, isn’t it? So the red light district of my city. The place where no religion, no race, no creed, no feelings, no emotions are found. And only sex is the topic that you have to talk about. Some people think,… they just not only think but also have a mentality that the prostitution area is no place but a hell on earth and some do not because, whenever they want to have that physical fun its available like buying a large pizza to munch it hard as you are damn hungry.  So here the story begins, we ordered four bottles of beer for each and then bottle after bottle. Each one of us had exact equal share. Then we had some food and then. I told Sam that we must walk through this area. And then he said “sure you can have fun, I mean if you wanna bang someone I can pay..” I told him that I am not interested in those squibs and it’s ridiculous. I always wanted to know and had a wish to see how the red light area looks like.  And so he said fine and then we started our journey in those small lanes. Looking each and every house. The houses were like hell I mean they were small huts like can be called just as a slum. And the prostitutes were everywhere. Some were looking for their customers and some were inside their houses.We met a guy who was running behind us as those three of them were busy giving description to me. He was a pimp.  His name starting from the letter ‘M’ I don’t remember exactly. So he started convincing us to get along with him and kept saying that he can arrange the best body service for us. Then the other two with me started pulling his legs. Then somehow he mingled with us and then Sam told him that this guy (me) wants to know about this business and he agreed to inform us without any hesitation. He told me right from the history of this area and the commencement of this shitty business till the bottom of the story. After listening to all this I was somewhat crushed, somewhere inside me was broken deep in the chest.And wow! One more interesting thing is that the bar in which we had our drinks was all blessed with the police corner situated in the middle of the street exact in front of the entrance of the bar. And yes I must say the bar is blessed because without the permission of the police you can’t even have a sip of your drink. And the bar owner himself handles a bundle of cash wrapped in black plastic to the door of the police corner. And that’s how the business continues and still this bribing and the process of give and take business is going on. And it’s the truth.I always thought after having four bottles of beer stronger than task, strong enough to take me over clouds, how can its power of drowsiness was all out of my brain. Because, what I saw was the truth of this small hell I saw children of those women and young girls between the ages of 14 to 16 were also there for sale. I was F****** stunned and yes I must say this ‘F-word’ because, yes it is the truth.Because, it was my first visit to the no profit and complete loss kind of business area where only flesh can get a bargaining price. You will get it for reasonable and at a very cheap rate you can ever imagine.If you are doing a white collar job, you can also get some expensive and tasty meal if you are ready to pay. But what if you are just 20 and in the midnight at 2.00 you are having an excursion to have fun but suddenly your feelings change and can get a horrible experience and the time spent in such a place where no life is seen and you start feeling lifeless because you have a real human inside you. And start feeling pity and can feel sympathy and the only misfortune you feel because you know that you cannot change the reality.
