And since I missed one day in the midst, I will compensate that with something I read online, which if it is true then my friend, I am not sure where we are headed.

Do you have anything to say on this?

I know I am not doing here anything worthwhile, because the place where I am even trying to spread the word, is decent enough and full of chivalry. But I don’t know what else to do. I don’t!! And honestly, sometimes I feel helpless about it. I mean everyday I open the newspaper and every single day, without fail, I read something of this sort, something related to molestation, some news related to harassment, some news relating rape, some cases, of rape, bondage and murder. And my friend, if the last pice of information is true, which I am hoping against all hopes that it be untrue, then I don’t know where we are headed, I seriously don’t.

Yes, I am old school, and I still read newspapers, instead of apps, but that does not prevent me from coming across some other famous cases going around which somehow don’t hit the newspapers. But the point here isn’t newspapers, the point is, that these things are happening. And I am pretty sure that only few reach the headlines, even fewer reach the newspapers, and even very fewer reach to the police. and sadly lesser than all of them are solved, or acted upon.

If someone is going to say that this is only in your part of the world, then I am seriously going to lose it, because that will be a simple lie. It will be. There is no place, no city, no village, spared here. Agreed, some states have higher ratio of harassment and molestation cases than others, but the point is not less or more, the point is it is still there!!!

What do I do?

As of now, I know I will do what most people here will say, to look into the brighter matters of these cases being solved. And I will. yes, why not? Didn’t I just read that a student speaks up agains her teacher? Didn’t I just read that a man was sentenced for 10 whole years for brutally raping a minor, a child, who might never come out of this trauma? 10 WHOLE YEARS!!!! Now that’s progress. Didn’t I just read that a woman cried for help from a moving car, when her husband and she both were in trouble? She screamed for help, now that’s progress, for before women were even scared to open up about such instances, and would drink away all her remorse. Didn’t I read that a 17 year old’s rape was recorded, may be someone will somehow know the recorder and will get to him, surely May be!! And of course there was a death penalty for a man who raped and murdered his teacher. Sure there is a positive side to it all. I agree and I will look into it my friend. And of course will not forget to remember that a pregnant goat died too, because it was gang-raped by a few men!! (I still can’t just digest this news.) What good what is it doing any ways to our society?

But yeah, coming to the positive side to all of it, yes, I will look into the positive sides, and see how we as a human race are progressing.

Cheers to our development, and evolvement.

  7. Very rarely I come across an individual who has this perspective. Instead of criticizing the nation all the time, it’s fresh to see someone appreciating how far we’ve come. It is very important to consider the progress because that is what helps us have faith!
    And to you I say, cheers, my friend. Keep going. 🌸

  9. I have been reading about the news items you have listed. I wonder where are we headed! I may sound extremely pessimistic but will there ever be a solution to all that we are around us. Is there anything that we can do? Anything at all?

  13. No words. Simply no words. Everyday is the same story….following news everyday is a frustrating experience…and in the absence of strong laws people are emboldened even more! Everyone is involved!! Everywhere there are skeletons in the closet only waiting to be discovered…be it homes, schools, hospitals, religious places, shelter homes!! These days the horrors of a shelter home are in news…which will soon be forgotten. Senior govt officials are involved…the same people who appear saint in front of public with fake masks….And about that goat! Well what to say…if women are to be blamed for rapes then what to say here! Incomprehensible really….Where are we heading to!! It’s like a free run with no fear! There are so many such news that it becomes traumatic trying to comprehend what is going on !! Makes my blood boil and head explode!!! Pathetic!!
