When I first came to Pune from Punjab, I was like wow, i have come to the Education city ( Oxford of the East ) of India. My thoughts when I came to Pune was, that condition of women here will be much better as compared to the other cities. But with the passage i realized this is NOT the case. Infact even worse than other cities. If you have read my previous posts you will know how much I respect women. At my place in Punjab, if something happens to a Girl/Female, we catch the culprit and don't blame the Girl coz she is the victim. But here (read Pune) whenever something happen, people put ALL the blame on the Girl/Female. I remember few years back there was a rape in Symbiosis and Administration put all the blame on the Girl saying her dressing was NOT proper. They did not try to catch the culprit and put him behind bars but instead they force the dress code in the college. Every now and then, Girls are Molested, Raped, Beaten up but then again, ALL the blame is on the Gir...

Today when i logged on to Twitter , I saw there were many tweets related to Shaheed Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev coz today is the martyrdom day for them. These people fight for everyone of us, ir-respective of our caste, colour, creed or regions which shows their LOVE towards this Great Nation. And today, we are fighting amongst ourselves on the basis of Regions. In Maharashtra, every now and then some political party come up and start spreading hatred. They spill venom on people belonging to other regions. They vendalize shops, burn Buses ..etc..etc. I'm sure, if these people (Bhagat Singh, Rajguru & Sukhdev) would have seen this, they would have cried and felt sorry for what they have done for India. I was wondering how many of us will follow the path which they have followed? How many of us are willing to sacrifice our luxuries and are willing to fight for the justice? How many of us see and Believe in India as ONE ?

From the last 2 days, there have been ruckus in the parliament, which ofcourse is not a new thing. India has witnessed even worse than what we had seen in the last 2 days. These chaos are for passing the women's bill in the Rajya Sabha. Though I'm against any kind of reservation, but feel inclined towards this bill. Reason being, it will help women who has been deprived of their equality with men. More Importantly it will help them to stand up and work shoulder to shoulder with their male counterparts. Being from a Sikh religion, where our Gurus has taught us that Females are NO less than males. They said - ਸੋ ਕਯੋਂ ਮੰਦਾ ਆਖੀਏ ਜਿਤ ਜਮੇ ਰਾਜਾਨ meaning thereby, we should NOT say any bad word/thing to women when they are the one who gives you the BIRTH. Your whole identity/being is coz of them. You must have the HIGHEST regard for them. Now, coming back to yest. events, in the evening I came to know that after Voting on Women's bill, It has been passed. I was feeling ve...

Today's age is the age of social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook . Everyday we get one or other follow / friend requests on these sites, but am wondering are we able to cope up with everything? Or it's mere a showoff e.g. how many followers i have on Twitter or how many friends i have on Facebook? Here is what one of the networker who has more than 1000 contacts writes after deleting 400 contacts/friends: "well... everything is a good excuse to watch yourself I guess... I was almost reaching 1.000 and I was a bit "proud"... good networking... but then, really, who gives the s.... about networking? I realized that out of 1000 friends I am interested in few... I like when I see interesting post, video, some nice and honest sharing, I like art. It is also clear for me that I am not interested in games, roses, virtual gift or hugs... than you make a choice..." For a person like me, who does not want to Hurt anybody, visiting my parents last mont...

On Saturday evening, at around 7:15 PM, when i was coming from Delhi to Pune, I came to know that there is a Bomb Blast in Koregaon Park, Pune . A place which I consider the most safest place in Pune had witnessed the terror attack. Next Day, i bought the newspaper and it was written that cause for the blast is Bursting of LPG cylinder and by the time i reached Pune i.e. around 11:30PM, it was confirmed that it was a terrorist attack. I also came to know that people burn the posters of Bal Thackeray coz the state govt has said that it was due to his threat of stopping the screening of the movie i.e. " My Name is Khan " that the state govt had to deploy the police on the theaters, so that the screening of the movie goes smooth. I'm wondering what kind of Govt is this? For this govt, entertainment is a bigger issue than the lives of innocent people? When they already had the intelligence report that there are possible terror attacks in Pune then why did they remov...

Every now and then we come across an article which says that some student who started something is now earning millions. But am wondering how many of them really get successful? Whats the percentage of these successful people? Perhaps not even 1 percent. what??? Not even a 1 percent? Yes, not even a 1 percent. So what does this mean? Does this mean that others who has started something are not capable? Well, certainly not. That does not mean any such thing, that means others have stopped exactly on the edge. Had they gone further, they would also have tasted success. Though there will be many factors which contribute to their success but i will not go into that details. Coz for every single factor there have been BOOKS written by well versed authors. Point that i want to highlight is - We should not get tempted by those stories but should only do those things wherein we know that, even if we have jump from that edge, we can do that.

We all knows the plight of women in India. At times, we do talk about them getting beaten up, raped, molested, female infant foeticied ... you name them, and its there. I was talking to my German friend about female infant foeticied (abortion), that it is illegal in India and the reason why it is illegal in India. To this my friend said - India should legalize abortion, or maybe govt should promote it. I asked - why? He said, it will solve two purpose i.e. 1) It will control Population and 2) Very Important - it will give women their share of respect. 1) How it will control population - lets say abortion is legal in India, more n more people will abort female infant foeticides and after 10-15 years, for every 4 males there will be 1 female, which means out of 4 only 1 will get married. In other words less population . 2) Very Important - it will bring women out of their plight which they are going thru at present. When, for every 4 males there will be 1 female, then people will ...

One of my FB friend asks me why someone/something which you Love is always far? What can you answer to this question, so i said i will think and will let you know. One day i was doing my morning walk, then all of a sudden this question pop up in my mind alongwith the answer. 1) Why someone/something is always far is coz if that someone/something is near to you, you will loose the importance of that. Perhaps this is what happens with most of couples who are in Love. Till the time they are far, they VALUE each other , the moment they start living together soon they start loosing the importance of other person and they start growing apart. 2) Existence will give you that only when the time is right and when you needed it the most. When desperation is at his best, if at that point of time you get what you love, it will give you a exp. which cant be forgotten. A blissful exp . Those will be the precious moments which you can cherish thru out your life.

While Tweeting today, this thought came to my mind - how many of the youngsters knows the REAL Lohri song? How many knows the exact story behind Lohri? Maybe not many, so thought of posting it here. First the Lyrics : ਸੁੰਦਰ ਮੁੰਦਰੀਏ ਹੋ ਤੇਰਾ ਕੌਣ ਵਿਚਾਰਾ ਹੋ ਦੁਲਾ ਭੱਟੀ ਵਾਲਾ ਹੋ ਦੁਲਾ ਦੀ ਧੀ ਵਿਹਾਯੀ ਹੋ ਸੇਰ ਸ਼ਕ੍ਕਰ ਪਾਈ ਹੋ ਕੁੜੀ ਦਾ ਲਾਲ ਪਾਚਾਕਾ ਹੋ ਕੁੜੀ ਦਾ ਸਾਲੂ ਪਾਤ੍ਤਾ ਹੋ ਸਾਲੂ ਕੌਣ ਸਮੇਟੇ ਮਾਮ੍ਹੇ ਚੂਰੀ ਕੁੱਟੀ ਜ਼ਮਿਦਾਰਾ ਲੁੱਟੀ ਜ਼ਮੀਂਦਾਰ ਸੁਧਾਏ ਬੜੇ ਭੋਲੇ ਆਏ ਏਕ ਭੋਲਾ ਰਹ ਗਯਾ ਸਿਪਾਹੀ ਪਕੜ ਲੈ ਗਯਾ ਸਿਪਾਹੀ ਨੇ ਮਾਰੀ ਈਟ ਸਾਨੂ ਦੇ ਦੇ ਲੋਹਰੀ ਤੇ ਤੇਰੀ ਜੀਵੇ ਜੋੜੀ ਪਹੀਨ੍ਵੇ ਰੋ ਤੇ ਫਾਨ੍ਨ੍ਵੇ ਪਿਟ Sunder mundriye hoe!

Everybody says that Guys are Pervert , but how Girls flaunt their colors of bras on Facebook today, doesnt that make them Pervert ? According to Wiki - Perversion is a concept describing those types of human behavior that are perceived to be a serious deviation from what is considered to be normal. Are there ONLY Sexual Perverts? Well, I think not. I like to categorize so i will do that now, as well. According to me there are 3 types of Perverts: 1) Sexual Pervert 2) Power Pervert (Read Politicians) 3) Limelight Pervert (Read Celebrities) 1) Sexual Pervert - I feel people already know so much about this category that i should let them into their fantasy world. :P 2) Power Pervert - There is a general thinking in India that if you have the Power, no matter what you do, you can get away with it. Coz till recently, this use to happen. People having some power become sooo SHAMELESS that even if you catch them Red Handed, they will straight away deny the FACT that its not t...
