Another Women's Day with lots of emerging thoughts to protect women. Here in India we have police stations ,courts,women commissions....but all proved ,these are not adequate to protect women.
First International Women's Day was in 1911. It is celebrated for the economic , political and social achievements of women. Her achievements are higher but she continues to face physical and mental torture. Another painful subject is sexual harassment but she does not talk about her bitter experience because they don't get proper support from society.Women are blamed for provoking men by their dress , but remember the fact whether she is 6months old or 60 years old ,beautiful or not ,they all face sexual harassment. Then no doubt men's mental attitude is the main reason for all injustice against women .
In 2005 India government passed "The Protection Of Women From Domestic Violence Act".Of course, it helped women to get their justice but , increasing number of transgressions shows men's attitude towards women not changed yet. After this women's day we can hope injustice against women will reduce though we have several recent issues to point out. We need strong unity to prevent these kind of situations and more powerful trial to give maximum punishments to the convicted.

Slum Fver
Everywhere in India people talking about Oscar winning film 'Slum Dog Millionaire'. Before and after the announcement of Oscar , still its a matter of discussion. Why Indian slum got much popularity than ever before?..whats the exact reason behind this? Some people say that a foreigner pictured an Indian story so its managed to get Oscar. That may be a factor of three Indian's Oscar Glory of Success .
India has different culture and out looks ..considering this we can say our slums have different story to tell what they haven't had. That's the success of'' Slum Dog millionaire'. I haven't any slum experience but i seen slums of Kerala ,Madras and Bangalore .I think these slums might not have the same story what Dany Boye showcased as Indian slum. India showing its diversity through language , culture and life style ...though it has unity . Anyway Danny pictured the reality of Bombay slum so he needs to be appreciated for his work.
We can enjoy this Oscar though its not one of the Super Normal awards. Through this film two children Mohmmed Azharudin Ismail and Rubina Ali from Bombay slum got new life. Their hopes and aspirations are no doubt , those among the people of slums who live from hand to mouth.

did it for the prestige of family
Few days before i saw a news in a daily.... a new born baby girl has been found dead in a canal . News with shocking picture.............i stared at her picture ...not once, so many times. Her navel string was not to be removed, that hanged like it has full dream of life. For a while i thought about my childhood........i was a little Princess of my parents.
I felt irritation so i ran to kitchen and hugged my Mother tightly then asked "Did you ever regret having a daughter?"my question came with full emotion. She slowly removed my hands and sighed then said NO ."If a woman became pregnant before her marriage ,what would she do?" i threw another one. She looked at me..then said "definitely she cant offer her child a life".Why she cant?...my question." For the prestige of her family"she said. This time i had nothing to ask.
That Mother might have said ...."Yes I Did It For The Prestige Of My Family"
