BLOSSOMING BUDS - QUEST AGAINST FEMALE INFANTICIDE

" 842 Girls Left Per 1000 Boys"

How many times have we heard slogans like “She Rocks”....no count i suppose..................             however IN VAIN.

Sadly still female infanticide is galloping with a high speed even in the new age of gender equality gets us thinking about the imbalance of human cycle we might soon face. Sadly this evil still is prevalent in many rural as well as urban, as a matter of great pride & honour. The same girl who is worshipped during the 9 days of fasting and also as goddess of wealth, is put to a long sleep before she even sees the sunlight. I wonder in coming years who are these stalwarts, the so called gender biased clan please for getting health, wealth & happiness.

Are we living in free India or an India free of us?

Female Infanticide
It is the homicide of a female infant, usually considered by many a cultural honour. Unfortunately this gender bias has closed our brains in such a way that we do not foresee the negative impact this will have on our society, counting to an approximate surplus of 20 million males by 2020. The day is not far when India soon be brought down to barbarianism due to “No Woman’s Land”, resulting in a future dystopia of our society.

I feel sad to think with women getting 33% reservation in country, the Sheila’s or the Munni’s (more relatively familiar now-a-days), are still moving the downward slope of gender ratio. Who are the men going to please or persuade when the very essence of humanity, that is a woman, become like another extinct species. Busy in saving the Tigers, the men have forgotten that it’s a girl not a tiger that they would prefer sitting behind them on the bike.

The most beautiful form of this species is a ‘Mother’ and people say since god can not be everywhere that is why he created women. So, if we do close statistical observation, would it be correct to say that

“Our belief in god is also faltering?”

Also gender equality will only be implemented in true sense when a girl is allowed to survive to smile or weep and not introduced to the earthly creeps.

Although the health & development organization WHO claims to a comeback trail for the girl child, still the fall in female infanticide of an approximate number of 500,000 to 700,000 missing girls every year(United Nation’s statistics) seems like a far away reality. In rural as well as urban India this gruesome act is still considered a wise course of action where killing baby girl is no big sin and to end their existence supposedly saves the self confessed honourary killers from bad fortune for themselves and their families.

On one hand Sons are preferred to take the family name further and considered as insurance as they bring income in comparison to the girls. On the other hand these same wise ones for good wealth pray to Goddess Laxmi, who is ironically a ‘Female’.
So with no girls left to bless them with wealth, how will the insurance(a son) provide future income assurance?

A very dear friend told me “Every Human Life Is Sacred”, so does this mean the stalwarts of religion & culture put a façade on their faces while praying to the goddess and the Satan within them comes out while they perform this so called sacred sin?

Inspite of government of India making sex determination with the help of ultrasound machine illegal, this ultrasound technology that aids the pro-life movement is still a death warrant for a baby girl in the womb. Government’s efforts to curb this malpractice have gone in vain or something close to it, resulting in vast and uncorrectable social consequences. The hope for a wife and family is slowly becoming ‘gone with the wind’ for the young men, as the fear of broken branches of their family tree is becoming a reality.

Marriage for centuries has been considered an institution to tame the young males. With no girls left, these males will loose their prospect of normal sex and family life, a quint-essential part of marital bliss. This imbalance will soon lead to increased militarism in the country putting forth a great challenge to the society and humanity.

Lastly to conclude with a ray of hope in my heart to eventually see this war on baby girls end, I would just say

"MULTITASKING AS A DAUGHTER,WIFE,SISTER & MOTHER
TO GIVE LIFE GOD HAS GRANTED HER THE SACRED PRIVILIGE
THEN WHY DISCARD HER AWAY LIKE SOME ROTTEN GARBAGE
NO-WOMAN’S BARBARIC LAND WE SEE, IF THIS GOES FURTHER
SO LET HER SMILE,LET HER DANCE,LET HER SING,LET HER WEEP
SHE TOO DESERVES LIFE AND NOT SUCCUMB TO THE EARTHLY CREEPS"

INDIAN ARMY – THE NEPOTISM DIVIDE

From nearly two & half centuries our Indian Army has been looked up with great admiration for its spirit, bravery, conduct and hospitality. Since the day I came into this world the essence of leading a class life has been infused into my blood, owing it to my father being in the same profession and others in the family as well. The comfort & upbringing are no doubt the best a child can dream of, be it studying in one of the “ARMY PUBLIC SCHOOL”, making use of the sports facility or simply loitering around in the club while the parents are busy playing Tambola.

Being called an Army brat was nothing short of being a self confessed show-off amongst the civilian friends however off late my pride & belief in the organization has deferred. Indian Army as we know has still got the lowest recruitment percentage and highest attrition level. Is the fact that your life can be put at stake any time, the only reason for youth not choosing Indian Army? Well over the past couple of years, I have come across numerous other reasons. Words like corruption, unfair practice, bribery etc have become favorites of the Indian Army and added to this long sinful list is the word “NEPOTISM”.

Nepotism, that is, preferential treatment is meted out not just from person to person but also seen amongst the different sections of the forces.

To give a brief, the Indian Army is divided into two kinds of forces –

1. Fighting Force - such as Infantry, Armed, Artillery which takes away the cherry on the cake for being the reason for nation’s pride with the VSM, AVSM, PVSM being offered to the officers mainly from these Corps. Though the locations they are sent to our unimaginable to the common man however the favoritism they are showered with are no doubt a strong discrimination in comparison to the other departments. Be it the pay scale or higher promotion percentage into the 3 star (Generals) bracket or simply getting preference where allotting accommodation is concerned. They have always remained an “Apple of Indian Army’s Eye”

2. Support Services – ASC, Signals, EME, Ordinance, Intelligence and others which are the backbone of the entire Indian Army performing duties ranging from logistics to keeping a track of highly sensitive information. However a whiff of being neglected has been sensed by these services over the years. Someone I met said “I feel like being treated as a Second-Rate citizen.” They are also soldiers and if we go by the phrase “Brothers In Arm”, I regret to say that the brotherhood seems to be lost somewhere and has become department and religion or caste biased

     Is this another interpretation of Karl Marx’s The Haves and The Have - Nots?

With such a divide between the worlds’s largest army how do we expect the young blood to even consider Indian Army as a career option and that too not as an alternative? Come to think of it this divide is not known to the public. However once it is known it is accurate as it would come right from the horse’s mouth.

Think of Indian Army as a human body where the fighting forces can be the shoulders, hands, arms and legs that holds the arms & ammunitions.

The support services can be the stomach, brain, mouth & ear or other relevant body part. Few examples how support services help in the functioning of Indian Army.

ASC – stomach – as it takes care of the rationing of the soldiers. To fight the enemy it is important for our soldiers too get timely and adequate supply of ration. The ASC also is responsible for the transport & petrol or diesel provided in the Army. I am sure nobody can imagine being in this profession without the transport facility. After all going to Kargil or Siachin Glacier is not an evening stroll that one takes. Most Importantly the Army would not be able to participate in the Republic Day Parade if there was no transport like One-Tons, Three-Tons, Jeep, Jonga & Staff Car.

SIGNALS – mouth & ear – as it is the department for telecommunication. Without this department the communication amongst all the departments will be impossible. Also how would the fighting forces put forward their urgent requirement of more men or ammunitions during a war situation, the enemy is not going to wait for them to go to the base & get the needful. Also this telecommunication service helps to track any call made by the terrorists or even the infiltrators to plan their strategies accordingly.

There are many other departments in the support services which are equally important in making our Indian Army the 3^rd largest army in the world. My apologies for not writing about them since I have no proper knowledge of their work and do not want to beat around the bush

Now, without these pre requisite support services our Indian Army, which is a replica of human body will be nothing but a vegetable, all ready to be chopped by the enemy forces.

To, conclude Indian Army is although one for all and all for one, however this is limited only within certain departments or amongst a certain sect of soldiers.

In the end I would like to put forward a question to you all, “WHY DESTINY’S CHILD IN THE ARMY SHOULD BE THE FIGHTING FORCES ONLY?”

LIFE – WORTH A GLASS?

ONE FINE DAY BIGGIES WERE ENJOYING THEIR PAGE 3 TIME

IN THEIR DRUNKEN STATE LIFE WASNT WORTH A DIME

AMONGST THIS ALL WAS "JESSICA", DOING HER JOB

HER SPIRIT N SMILE KEPT HER STRONG IN THE DIRTY MOB

PEOPLE CAME WITH ONE AND LEFT HIGH WITH ANOTHER

RELATIONSHIPS GONE TO DOGS, NEED I SAY FURTHER??

THE CLOCK FINALLY WAS ABOUT TO STRIKE MIDNIGHT

"JESSICA" WAS HAPPY WRAPPING UP THE BUSY NIGHT

CAME FROM NOWHERE "MANU", DIRTY LITTLE PRICK

UGLY, BAD BREATH THAT COULD MAKE ONE SICK

THE RAJA BABU TOLD JESSICA "I NEED A DRINK"

OFFERED 1000 BUCKS, SO MORE HE COULD STINK

JESSICA THOUGH MODERN HAD HER OWN PRICIPLES

GAVE A DAMN EVEN THOUGH THREAT WAS VISIBLE

TO OFFER ANOTHER DRINK SHE BLUNTLY REFUSED

THE 'NO' GOT THE CULPRIT'S MIND BADLY FUSED

GIVE OR ELSE I WILL SHOOT, JUST ONCE HE SAID

NEXT SECOND BLEEDING JESSICA DROPPED DEAD

THE BRAT THOUGH CAME FROM RICH MAN'S CLASS

HER LIFE FOR HIM WAS JUST WORTH A GLASS??

"LAL" FAMILY SAW THEIR PRECIOUS ONE DIE

"SABRINA’ STARED AT YOUNGER SIS WITH A SIGH

STARTED THE BATTLE WITH ALL SHE COULD GRASP

WAS IT WORTH IT OR JUST WORTH A GLASS??

300 PEOPLE WERE THE PRIME WITNESS

"I HAD LEFT" WAS EVERYONE'S STANCE

SOME FEARED THE BULLET, SOME LOOSING THEIR CLASS

FOR THEM LIFE IS REALLY JUST WORTH A GLASS??

THE CASE AND LINKS MILLION TIMES GOT TAMPERED

"SABRINA'S" HOPE N GRIT NEVER GOT HAMPERED

TILL A DECADE JUSTICE HAD GONE TO THE UPPER CLASS

IS COMMON MAN'S LIFE JUST WORTH A GLASS??

FINALLY PEOPLE'S CONSCIENCE DID MAKE THEM REALISE

CANDLE MARCH ROCKED AND FROM SLUMBER MANU DID RISE

"SABRINA" FINALLY DID KICK ON THE CULPRIT'S ARSE

STILL THE QUESTION REMAINS..IS LIFE WORTH A GLASS??

AARUSHI TALWAR - THE DEAD SOUL

" 67 WITNESSES QUESTIONED..67 MORE TIMES AARUSHI DIED"

Aarushi Talwar, aged 14, born on 24 May 1993..died on 15th May 2008, just few days before her 15th Birthday. If Aarushi was alive she would have been right now preparing & getting butterflies for her 12th board exams.

After exactly 2yrs,9 months,18 days..CBI decides to close the case, putting a final DEATH STAMP on her. They say soul never dies, but Aarushi's soul is dead.

Although i have complete faith in our Judicial System, but somehow off lately it seems to have dettered. Have the Stalwarts who run the Judicial System of the nation with largest democrac, failed to ensure justice even after so much probing & investigations.

Has the innocence fallen prey to the Unresponsive Universe again?

It appears that again the policy of  Fair Justice has died deep down somewhere in the sub conscious of the so called ' JANTA KE RAKSHAK.' On the Ashok Chakra it is mentioned ' SATYAMEV JAYATE..TRUTH LIVES FOREVER ', has the truth gone to the dogs, to be hounded & brutally scratched to bits n pieces.

Children are future of The New Generation India, galloping towards economical & financial  growth. Aarushi Talwar sooner or later may also have joined this league and taken our country to new heights. Alas! the politicos are too busy in signing new treaties with other countries, that the cries of Aarushi's Soul fell on deaf years.

I hope this time JUSTICE WILL BE A FAIR PLAY N NOT BECOME DELAYED is equal to DENIED?

Young Lady Aarushi, May Your Already Down Trodden & Murdered Soul Find Peace Ultimately.
