Ref to my articles “About Sex, Rape n Counterparts” dt. 26.04.2006 and updated on 27.04.2006.
Before I continue with the above topic, pls let me tell u that this article is not meant to bring any revolution in world scenario, giving a new direction to mankind - no ‘mahaan’ intentions behind it, whatsoever – I m long over with those stupid concepts of ‘writing for a cause’, ‘giving my lil contribution to help this world make
a better place’ bla bla bla….. Its jus that like u laugh when u feel like laughing, and cry when u feel like crying, slap a person when u feel angry, in the same way, I write cause I feel like writing… that’s it.
Back to the topic- as I said earlier, I found it very strange that for centuries, the act of ‘RAPE’ has been viewed in single dimension, and no one, to my knowledge has ever try to discuss it multi dimensionally. At most, what I saw on TV interviews, of a victims of rape, was ‘stereotype- mentality- oriented –replies’, about the agony and psychological pain that’s she gona carry in rest of her life, a wound that will never be filled completely and related thoughts….
Some countries are even thinking of making Rape act equivalent to death penalty and I think in some, that provision is already there. At times, things like these, really make me wonder, weather I should express my opinion on this topic or just try to avoid this sensitive issue, I generally choose the later, but sometimes it goes the other way….
I will start from the beginning, when you are born, u have a blank mind, as you grow up, u are influenced by your surrounding, your parents, your friends circle, the climate of the place and lot of other things, slowly u pick a language, starts speaking in it, gradually, u learn to discrete, being judgmental, take decisions and this process continues thought out life. We are obviously influenced by our surrounding, the tradition taught to us, some basic fundamentals abt this is right and that is wrong, there is god and there’s devil etc …
Under these fundamentals, ‘SEX’ , traditionally is considered as something which should not be talked abt, an element of hesitation has always been attached to it. It’s a pity that deep within us, we are somewhat ashamed of our own existence, and worse we are even more hesitant to talk abt it.. The core of existence, Sex, has been looked by society with such a disgrace, that its really hard to even use the word ‘sex’ in part of routine talk, what to say abt its discussion….

I don’t want to go into this topic in an epical way, cause I habitually don’t stick to any thing for too long. So, I would like to end it from my side by my last remarks.
Its not about rape, it’s not about crime, its not about blues of life, misery, its not about any those damn things, its only and ONLY about your attitude towards life, if you decide to resign, no one can help you then, if you decide to stand firm, no one messes with you for long, , life needs to flow like a river to be alive. Just keep on moving and you will find that nothing is as good or bad as it is thought to be, it’s the standing opinion that affects, the flowing river has no time to think, only to celebrate its fluency, its liveliness, its ‘its-ness’…….
STOP THINKING AND START LIVING…….
