Girl, learn some self-defense

-

 When she was raped, you came up with various reasons. You said she did not wear proper clothes. You said she was characterless since she was outside in the nighttime. You said she was moving freely with boys without knowing her limits. You said she must be arrogant since she was daring. You said her brought up must be bad since she fell in love. And whatnot? 


Now, tell me one reason why a trainee doctor, who worked non-stop for about 36 hours and entered a seminar hall just to study and take a break since there was no resting place in the hospital where she has been pursuing her PG course, was raped and brutally murdered. I was not aware of the issue when it flashed on the news. I was out of town when it became sensational news. 


When I returned home and when my mother asked me for the reason, I assumed that she might have had a fight with some boys, and that’s the reason they did this to her. But when I came to know that a civilian who worked there on behalf of the Police department did this brutality not for any reason but just because he was heavily drunk, I was literally shocked. And the news about how the hospital management is trying to cover it up is really a matter of concern. 


Well, this is not the first time and I am sure this is not going to be the last time either. I might sound old-fashioned but I really mean it. Neither society nor any institution in which you are a part is going to protect you all the time, girl. Your family can’t safeguard you every time. Only you should ensure your safety. First, try to avoid risks. It will cut off half of the issue. Next, learn some self-defense. It is a must and can be useful to an extent.


I would suggest that every parent and educational institution should make it compulsory for the girls to learn self-defense. Hobbies are good, but self-defense is a must. Neither capital punishment nor rigorous imprisonment is going to change the filthy-minded people. It will be a never ending story like it has always been. So, girls, get more power and stay strong. And more importantly stay safe.

Gujarat wonders with the team Aatrupadai

  The team Aatrupadai is a gang of like-minded youngsters and archaeological enthusiasts whom I met two years ago on a trip to learn about the Jain temples in Pudukottai. I came across them on facebook randomly and just took part in that heritage walk with some blind guts. But it turned out to be an awesome experience. Meanwhile, they have been conducting a lot of local heritage walks, but I couldn’t find time to join them. Suddenly, I found an advertisement regarding the heritage trip towards the Indus valley civilization. That was a sweet shock and I was already ready to join it.  But as far as I know, this is their first trip across the states. So, I had not many expectations but the main attractions were just two spots -Lothal and Dholavira. Ever since I started preparing for UPSC in 2003, I have been yearning to visit these spots. Like the icing on the cake, the other spots in the list were equally attractive. All of them were on my bucket list. I traveled all the way from my nati

Stylish pillars of Pallavas

  A member from a group interested in architecture posted a picture of the pillars from a temple he visited recently. The column was based on a seated lion. He mentioned that it belongs to the Pallava architecture. I suddenly remembered that I saw a similar one somewhere recently. When I searched the album, I found a broken pillar with a seated lion as its base, and it was lying in a corner in the rockfort temple in Trichy. I am fond of lions. So, I clicked its picture accidentally. And the Pallava’s rock cut temple is at the top and the bottom of the rockfort hill. So, it was clear that the broken pillar belonged to the Pallava architecture. I was curious to know more about the Pallava style of columns. Then, I found that these columns evolved in three forms in different time periods. The earlier one belongs to Mahendravarma, the pioneer of rock cut temple architecture. This column has a floral capital, and the column is in octagonal shape that fits into a rectangular shaped base. As

Why Shikandi - the game changer of Mahabharat is not so popular || Mahabharat life lessons

Earlier I wrote an article comparing the characterizations of Draupadi, Sita, and Kannagi ( My choice is Draupadi rather than Sita or Kannagi ), on reading this one of my juniors asked me why Shikandi without whom the Pandavas would have not succeeded in the Kurukshetra battle is not so popular. So in this article, I would like to share my inferences from the great epic Mahabharata and the character Shikandi. Source: Quora Shikandi, the daughter of King Dhrupad of Panchala Kingdom, was no lesser than the great warriors of her time and showed heroic valor in battlegrounds standing as the support pillar of her father. That is why she was made the commander-in-chief of the great army of Panchala in spite of being a woman. The major reason was her birth secret that she was born with a boon to cause the end of Pitamah Bhishma. But when she fails to defeat the attack of Pandavas over Panchala as a revenge to their Guru Dhronacharya’s insult by the King Dhrupad, she loses her importance and
