provoked thoughts on provke

Hi All,
The other day i was going through the message board on provoke…It was nice to see that many of them came with what they feel about it..some related the movie to what they underwent in their own lives..there were also some questions for which there were no answers..like on law,situations to be handled,and who would take up such a case in case its been done on the Male counterparts…Some posts were just for the sake of writing which hurt certain emotions…some taken very personally..
What i found in common was…whenever such a thing has been spoken out it becomes more of a gender issue than taking the situation into consideration and seeing it more of an atrocity done on a human being by another one…come what may be the situation…i did not see much support from the male counterpart on it..why ?good question…as people took it as if it was a straight hit on the male counterpart…and moreover there were questions about the character of the woman being portrayed…questions pertaining to an affair being linked but which lead to such an action…
Do we always have to see it in a such a manner?cant we see it in a more human way?
There will be people who may object to it saying a murder is a murder…what lead Ito it?
As far as i understand taking a life is not easy….anyone who takes such a step is driven to it…
When we drive a human being to such an extent and later also oppose the act for the same…what are we trying to prove?
It takes a lot of courage from an individual(irrespective of the gender)to tell one’s story to the world so nakedly…
how many of us can do it?
There may be reactions that it is a publicity stunt and one goes t any extent to get noticed nowadays…
I strongly feel instead of debating on such points its high time we stand up against injustice done which in turn leads to such an act such as provoked and many others

A Writeup-From one woman to another

Yet another year and we hit 8th MARCH-INTERNATIONAL WOMAN’S DAY. This day is observed to celebrate the women achievers in various fields across the globe devoid of economic, cultural background, religion, race, or nationality. Initially, it kicked off in 1909 in US from a labour movement in North America wherein the women workers protested against the working conditions. From then on, it emerged from being from just fighting for working conditions to considering and working for women rights across the globe for various reasons. This day is also known as United Nations day for women rights and International peace. Women and peace on the same day? I have this kind of reaction as I’ve usually heard that women are non peace makers. Wars are fought because of a Woman. Families are fallen apart because of the Woman. The Epic Ramayana and the Mahabharata happened because of a Woman. Let’s have a look at these events known in Hindu Mythology. Had Sita-in Ramayana not bee...

The inner conflict

TO BE OR NOT TO BE- is phrased by Shakespeare in one of his plays-Hamlet. The everyday line for day to day life series is TO DO OR NOT TO DO. The duality of the mind, the flip-flops of thoughts, the space between the doing and the undoing seems to have captured the souls of every individual. We are usually caught up in-between actions, words, gestures either with oneself or another. Human beings are social animals but are still animals in our own ways. We love to please all and want to be in good books of all expect one IMPORTANT PERSON- Own self. This is the first step of conflict. A conflict with oneself. The conflict of the outward self with the inward self. It is a pull and push mechanism. The inner self wants to push the outward self in loving oneself and the outward self is pulling away from listening to it. We resent ourselves from listening to our inner self. We fail to act its way. The reason could be, because we know it does not manipulate or ...

The Awakening Call..

It took in a lot of effort to write this article. Not because it was difficult to write but did not know from where to start. There were so many unanswered questions that were going on in my mind. Dignity, self-respect, confidence, hope and a zeal to live life against all odds is what adds value to mankind and makes life worth living. At some point of time, all these value-adds are at stake. It makes things more difficult when it is hurt and dealt at random with no fault of the person, but is hurt due to certain horrendous acts. One of such is hurt and insulted in the recent days that made headlines which shook the entire nation. This, in turn, started getting diluted politicized on a large scale and on a personal note—became the fight of the sexes Why do we always wait for such a terrible thing to happen which becomes an awakening call? Makes one realize that the society that we live in is so 2 sided that it can take it and live with it if it goes unnoticed and su...
