Gems from my treasure box

This one is not really a thought, but more of a recollection of old memories. Today being friendship day I'm taking out those precious moments of my life and putting them right here to annoy the hell and torture everyone else because I have nothing else to write about:



1 Cop trouble- This one was on the same night when our board exams finished, night out with the guys (Roohbir, Deepan, Haripal and Haripal's cousin; that good for nothing bhanu chickened out) a dinner and late night movie at FR and then someone had to smoke weed and drink booze close to the 'then under construction' IT Park when the cops show up and weed scattered all over the dash of Hari's car, luckily they didn't check the car otherwise I would've been in deep shit for no fault of my own.

2 Sukirat Sir's BBQ- The special thing about this was I got to make two new friends, both my juniors in school but very special people none the less Ranbir and Rabani, and also the crazy stuff Roohbir and I did at Sir's house till 5 am regardless that he had a meeting in school at 7.

3 Rajeshwar's sleepover- First a Drag Race at the lake and then Rajeshwar coming over to get tortured by snores

4 Suchet ka kissa: Classic moment. Just goes to show what happens when you end up with a wasted suchet and a tube of colgate

5 Christmas and New Year: Each and everyone spent with friends. No words can describe these times

6 Hostel Times: A few people made those hellish years worth living. From the Birthdays to when all of us ganged up on Ravi's room to the Chak De Festival or even the never ending problems with maggu to chetan and bhalu ki almari special moments

8 Holi in chandigarh: That one holi with Roohbir, Nina and Manisha (All thanks to Manisha I celebrated holi in my new jeans)

9 Sunday in Central Park: A vodka+sprite, a friend, a cold winter day and a sunshine. Perfect lazy times :D

Although there are many more I wanted to put up here but due to a few restrictions I'll torture you some other day with them

The author would like to wish everyone a very happy friendship day and hope that he never loses his friends especially the ones who really care and FU to those who don't

Of Sluts & Stereotyping

Now I wasn't really surprised a little bit when the Indian Version of "SLUTWALK" or Besharmi campaign or whatever it was took place, but it looked more like aping the west one more time on taking an issue in a nonsensical way. Now don't get me wrong, even I feel that women's rights should be in place and that a woman, no matter how she dresses up like can face sexual harassment and that the society in large is wrong to portray the fact that women dressed scantily face it. However,from the general responses by women given to all sorts of media I got the feeling that the message was lost in translation.
Here's what I think the slutwalk was intended to say : All women can be the subject of Sexual Harassment no matter how they dress up.


Here's what the message sounded like in India: We should be given the freedom to dress up how we choose without anyone trying to harass us.
Clearly that may exist in an utopia, but this situation can never be in the real world, and no I'm not trying to protect rapist but people have a mindset that can't change on this no matter how hard they try. By the way did it ever occur to anyone that even if men tried the skin show thing, they'll face criticism. So ladies dress up and do it however you want to but just be sure that if you dress to get attention you'll get it, don't complain whether it's good or bad.
Women don't need to organise protests to tell people that they'll dress how the want, they need to get bold, giving a tight slap to an offender in public, or other forms of public humiliation will be a better deterrent than a slutwalk.

The author personally feels that it's high time for men to get together and ask for their rights to dress up in leather pants, dangling jewellery and no shirt and women need to grow up and tackle this issue in a better way than to ape their counterparts in the west who aren't left with too many issues to deal with. Furthermore there exist more impending issues than how a woman should dress.
