#Delhi gang-rape case... Human Rights violation?
29th Jan’2013 ..... “On
Human Rights and their violation #Delhi gang-rape case”
A Crime is a Crime is a Crime and
needs to be addressed, investigated and punished under all circumstances, each time and every time ...... Being an adult or a juvenile is immaterial, does not matter in the eyes of the
law and Justice and equality of Justice for one and all .... !!!
Does the victim of the #Delhigang-rape as
Nirbhaya, Brave heart, Damini - have no human rights? Did she deserve to die thus? Did she not
deserve a better deal, a better life where she could get justice ?
Why are we afraid to call a spade
a spade ?
Why is the obvious always to be
stated, over stated, debated, discussed but action takes so long ?? Why?
Where from will Justice come ? Is
it not enough to know that a barbaric heinous crime was committed and ALL those
who were part of this demonic act have to be punished? Where does age come in
all this ?
Does her soul departed not deserve justice and all those too who
have been gang-raped, molested and victimised - do they all not have human
rights and are their Rights not violated ?!!
When they are gang-raped, molested
or murdered are their ‘human rights’ not violated?
What is your stand ...............
!! ?

Excerpts of my poem 'Connect me to the World'
“Connect me to the World” 9th Nov’2012
Connect me to the world today.
So I can make that quantum leap in faith.
Where words reach out, creating paths.
Leaving trails of hope that last. ....

Seeking Answers ... a poem
Seeking Answers (poem)
"Seeking Answers to Life's questions profound.
While having been swept so many times around!
I will surely find my wings to fly.
And soar up high onto the rising sky..."
What is my true purpose I often ask?
Whilst moving about from task to task.
Will the Universe answer my prayers?
Giving me signs and quiet answers.
I will meet the rainbow's end I know.
Making a mark with words penned in tow.
I will rise above and shine and be.
Raising dear ones too, to seek their true destiny... "

Wings to Fly high while being firmly grounded - PART-2
Part
-2
Yes,
we all need dreams, wishes and goals in life... yet while trying to reach for
them, its good to be grounded at all times.... thanks for resonating in the
same spirit!! BTW, i have Beans growing and now flowering in my little garden
patch! :) Life too is like a Garden, I feel. We are not all given or blessed
with gardens, but have to grow, nurture and perhaps even make it with our own
bare hands.... just for the joy of living and being able to see the little
plants bloom and grow!
On Wings to fly high whilst being grounded firmly with my Roots. PART-1
On Wings to fly yet grounded to the Roots PART 1
" I just managed to water the plants in my own hand-made back yard garden.... I had been neglecting it for some time now because of my back problem..... Just as I carried small pails of water, sprinkling water down on to the dry earth, I could almost hear a perceptible gurgle, glugging sound - as if the soil and the roots both were working in tandem, absorbing water so thirstily .... and I could smell again the dank wet earth,.. the most wonderful of all fragrances as I perceive ..... I sat down on the ground, cross legged with my little one, chatting with her as she said and noticed herself the sudden joyful happy calm that had set in and noticed the fresh clean and wet leaves nodding themselves as if to whisper a 'Thank you' even as I myself said 'Sorry dear plants and Thank you in the same breath... ' !!
Suddenly, felt rejuvenated as if a big weight and worry was off my chest!
I just realised how in my own little problems of day to day living I had overlooked these silent wonderful plant beings (as I call them).... who give, give and give us so much fresh clean air and add joys to an otherwise existence spent chasing dreams....."
I'm glad and grateful to chase them dreams, those goals, whilst staying grounded to the soil....

ONE MONTH POST-NIRBHAYA Gang Rape WHY?
17th JAN 2013
Yes sad it is the state of WOMEN ALL Over the WORLD today ...... unfortunately... That's the reason MAN IS NOT TRULY PROGRESSING BECAUSE WOMEN ARE Suppressed, oppressed and not treated as EQUALS or respected as humans as seen from so many cases all over the World!
WHY ? ASK YOURSELF. What the *** @@@!!! !! WHY? Why has the Govt not yet punished the gang-rapists of Nirbhaya Damini Braveheart yet ? Almost a month to date that she was gang raped today, yet why no justice? How many more Questions We have to ask for internal safety? How many more candles will need to be sparked, when there is already a candle alight in each one of us? Why?
NOT ACCEPTABLE.
STOP THIS RAPE, GANG RAPE.
EDUCATE, SENSITISE, CATCH NAB PUNISH RAPISTS SEVERELY AS an EXAMPLE TO SET.
PUNISH even SLIGHTEST of MOLESTATION - so a FEAR FACTOR comes in MEN and THEY LEARN TO BEHAVE!
Yes sad it is the state of WOMEN ALL Over the WORLD today ...... unfortunately... That's the reason MAN IS NOT TRULY PROGRESSING BECAUSE WOMEN ARE Suppressed, oppressed and not treated as EQUALS or respected as humans as seen from so many cases all over the World!
With due respect to you Harry!
Indians are NOT worse than animals BUT RAPE and RAPISTS EXISTS ALL OVER THE WORLD!! only majority of it IS NEVER REPORTED.

Perhaps YOU WILL RETHINK YOUR VIEWS OF INDIA.
RAPISTS, Molestors - all need to be punished wherever they are.... Our incidents have a served to create a spark on this smouldering and often un-reported and neglected issue.

'A Battle in vain'
9th Aug
1999.
“A Battle in
vain … ?!!? ”
Proudly flutters
the flag on mast, high, atop snow-laden peaks
Signalling
Victory, bugles sound.
Soldiers proudly
salute, swollen chests, eyes aflare.
Yet clouds cast
shadows over Victory glare.
Tangled bodies spewn
all over, mutilated hands, legs,
torn heads and bullets speak of a story rare.
Unknown Soldiers
fought till their last breaths -
So we may live
the ‘fresh air of freedom’.
Naught from death,
poverty, squalor or corruption -
But free, yes
‘free’ as a bird flies the open skies …
‘Soldiers’ - True to the Word ; laid down their lives
“Died Doing their Duty” – as some may say
and we have given
in spirit for them and families.
And yet is this all that we can do and pray ?
And shamefully
acquiesce to lead lives,
Where falsehood,
greed and the corrupt rule and overrule !!!
Is this for wont
the battle was fought and won ?
When ‘truth’ lies
hidden and in shatters
and all that we do
is merely judge, discuss, gossip and chatter ??
Does money and its
acquisition is All what’s battled for ??
‘Forsake Duty and
others will forsake You’
was what was
well-meant and taught over the ages …
but evaded long
back, buried and now is past.
Yet the struggle
for power goes on.
Marching to the
tune of ‘jingles’ and ‘jingo-ism’
Led by images,
unlike deeds !!
Dancing to Rock
and rocking from the good,
the bad and unto
the ugly indeed !!!
What’s the matter
with all of us?
Queueing up,
jostling, pushing and squashing each
other
And people still
not taking heed … ?
What for does one
live – to die unheard, unwept, uncared
Or to be engraved
on stones and pillars
with names carved on graves of pride ?
Will the Victory
bugles blown – guns flared and flag unfurled proud
be just a moment
captured in time ?
Will we forget history
yet again ?
Or is it to ‘live and let live’ will be our prime.
And cherish the
battle won by living together as “ONE”
Let this battle
and lives lost not yet go in vain …

Sharing a Post from my friend .... A Wake UP CALL.
On Mon, 14 Jan 2013 11:59:03 +0530 wrote
>WAKE-UP CALL:::
3 young cousins came to a doctors Clinic. They are Diabetics. Surprised? Yes, they are aged 17, 18 and 19 years only. They are already taking 30 units of Insulin in morning and evening. The indirect developments are : They are hyperactive for a few moments and collapsing like ICU patients for a few moments next. Other symptoms are, Spurts of anger, throwing away objects, pushing away food, unable to sleep at night and utterly restless. HbA1c test values from 9 plus to 11 plus. What can the other systems do to help them? They turned to Homoeopathy.
NOW THE BIG QUESTION is ::: what made them so? The boys were eating nothing but MNC's crunchies, munchies, crispies, colas, burgers, Pizzas, bakery foods and chocolate related stuff. Who is buying for them ? The elders. THE ELDERS WHO FORGOT WHAT OUR ANCESTORS ATE. The elders WHO BLINDLY FOLLOW TV Advertisements of 'compleeetely planned foods(?)' (Later they may not even expel their own excreta, that's another matter). They forgot the variety of food grains, variety of millets, Greenleaf vegetables, vegetables, sprouted seeds, whole grains, fruits and all the good preparations they could make using them.
WHY ARE THEY FORGETTING? Due to systematic destruction of the ‘good values’ in our society by perfectly planned campaigns by MNCs and our OWN SLAVE governments, lobbyists and media, publishing houses and newspapers. They make our ‘good things’ like Bottle guard, Ridge Guard, millets and whole grains and traditional foods in to a farce, make jokes out of them and corrupt our minds. NOT A SINGLE INTELLECTUAL PERSON SPEAKS against such deeds. No SOCIALITES open their mouths and condemn such practices. NO NEWSPAPER writes columns about them. Slavery of thought processes too. Wake up people.
Revive all local millets, local desi varieties of grains, pulses and green leafy vegetables. Eat complex foods, raw, whole grained, sprouted. Eat local fruits of the season. Are you aware that our forefathers were eating more than 100 varieties of green leaf vegetables? Now we don’t even find more than 6-7 of them. Why? Respect the ancient wisdom and protect your young. Make this your mantra.

I wish I had hugged her and met her one more time ....
Thanks a lot Karen Ingalls for putting this blog on my facebook page. I recently lost a good friend to Blood Cancer Leukaemia - we used to meet while picking up our daughters outside the school.
She was a Doctor herself and her daughter and my daughter joined their First Day at school together hitting off so well as little toddlers...
I still can't get over it somehow... Just read your post that 'God needed him more' and the block I was feeling in putting this down somehow lifted... I wept. I wept and sobbed the whole day and prayed for her soul to rest in peace.
I explained to my daughter that her best friend's Mom has gone to Ganesha, God to help him in his work of taking care of the earth and all the little ones and parents here.
Sending you all my best wishes n hugs.
Hope my prayers do reach her too .... will miss her forever, I wish I had met her just that one more time again and hugged her one more time so tight...
Borderline ....
Borderline 1/Jan/2001
There’s a thin line between right and wrong.
Of justice done wrongly.
And injustice pulled on the right.
And yet the border between the two lines drawn is straight.
Wherefrom will justice come when the eyes are blind.
While the cloak of love and emotions do not see.
What’s right and has to be.
Needs no ears, no eyes, and no proof but remains to be.
Yet there’s a thin border line between right and wrong.
Just when the wind blows the curtains shall fall.
That’s when the right will have justice.
And that’s when truth shall prevail that’s all.

What would you do?
Would you care for sunshine if there were no rain?
Would you take more care, if you had no pain?
Would you smile a little more, if tears did not flow?
Would you go that extra mile, if you knew there was no tomorrow?
What would you do?
What would you do?
What would you do just to be true?
What would you do simply to live true?

How many more candles do we have to burn before the end of this dark long twilight?
"What tears does one cry when at the frontiers our soldiers die?
What ways to express pain, shock, disbelief for those who are our own?
Did they deserve to be hacked,shredded by a neighbouring friendly enemy?
Did they deserve to die unsung, unheard, unwept ?
How many more will they kill and burn ?
How many more candles will we need to spread light?
How many more candles will we have to burn ?
Wherefrom will words come, how will the silent screams be heard ?
Is anyone there who IS listening?
Yet how many hearts will have to burn?
Till fortune to our favour boldly turns.
The light inside that was once lit aflame.
Is flickering silently in the night alone in pain.
How many candles will we have to light?
How many lamps will be lit on hearths tonight?
How much more injustice will one suffer?
How many before the pass of this dark twilight ?
