Blaming the victim!

There are people like Abhijeet Bhattacharya, the talented singer from my hometown Kanpur, who should keep their mouth shut or read their thoughts hundred times before posting it on social media sites. You don't need to mock poor people just for showing your support for someone. In an ideal world, people shouldn't be sleeping on footpath and in an ideal world, there should be no drunk driving or hit and runs. The people who sleep on footpath don't do it for fun or for adrenaline. They do it because they have no other place to sleep. Why don't the Bollywood starts a charity for building homeless shelter in Mumbai and in every metropolitan city in India?

       And on top of that you post an apology and explain how you had saved a poor person lying on road, so that gives you the right to make fun and blame innocents?

You are no better than those people who blame the victims for rape because the victim was travelling at night or wearing skimpy clothes, and then says that he/she is a feminist.
Lots of people love Salman Khan but that doesn't mean you need to deride everyone else for supporting him or showing your love. The best way is do something for the poor souls sleeping on footpath in the Mayanagri Mumbai and also go to higher court for Salman's acquittal. Hope that people like Abhijeet & the rest of Bollywood do something for homeless in Mumbai instead of just blaming the victims and lecturing about their thoughtless thoughts!

Ravana, really?

There is a post doing rounds on FB and Twitter where a pregnant mother asks her daughter if she wants a brother like Rama but the daughter says that she wants a brother like Ravana and starts explaining the flaws about Rama and starts praising Ravana. Very well, Rama was human, had his flaws, made mistakes repeatedly and had to finally live alone most of his life because he chose to be a good son and King, instead of a good husband. Coming back to Ravana, even Ramayana says that Ravana was a great and very learned person. Beyond that, beware of brother like Ravana who might want to get all of his family killed just for satisfying his false ego. On top of that Surpanakha was a psychopath, who wanted to kill Rama & Lakshmana because they refused to marry her, and Ravana decided to support her instead of shoving some intelligence in her brains. Nope, you don't want such family anywhere close to you!
Anyways, the epics are morality tales which explained how to behave in certain circumstances in those times, some of the teachings make sense even now, and the epics prove how human even Gods were, once they appeared on earth. Instead of praying for a brother like Ravana or Rama or Krishna, why shouldn't the girl pray for being like Durga or Kali?
