My outburst for the Delhi gang rape ...

I don’t think it’s just about Delhi or Gurgaon or Haryana … there are such dastardly incidents happening all over the country … and every time such incident happens which fortunately (or unfortunately) gets some media attention … there will be candle light vigil, a dharna somewhere .. a protest somewhere (all of these invariably only where there is media present … ) … It’s been more than a year for our very own Mumbai’s Amboli double murder of Keenan and Reuben which started with eve teasing by drunkards … more than a year on … the case is still getting taarikh pe taarikh … despite accused identified … witnesses present and 2 MURDERS …

What we need is a touch of autocratic behavior … our democracy is got to a point where it’s hindering the very purpose of the same … free life!!! What we need is officials taking ownership and pride in their duties and responsibilities!!! What we need is not just center and opposition debating this in parliament but ministers attending the court proceedings of such cases … that will make a difference!!! What we need is all of us to stand up and not just stand there looking at such inhumane acts happening!!! What we need is not just likes and shares and comments … but a sense of being a part of the victim and then reacting to this situation!!!

Alas, like many, at best …. even I can just vent out my frustration here on fb for now … but hopefully will have the strength to stand up and not just stand by … if I find myself witnessing such an atrocity!

About the delhi case, hope the media coverage remains till the accused are sentenced and doesn’t lose focus if India will win tomorrows T20 against Eng and take badla …

the disdain is rightly placed. Sports is littered with fallen heros. We are shocked at the time of revelation but grow over it as humans are fallible. Lance is different. He used this intricate web of lies and fraud to build a survivor story to give hope to millions of cancer patients. Ask them what is it like to know that the hope they were fighting with is nothing but a farce. As much as hope springs eternal, false hope leads to despair.
