Patriarchy on her phone ...not done!!

It's 7:30 in the morning and I am sipping some tea in the mid of my bouncing from the kitchen till waking up my little bunny, not showing signs good enough to do that early. Between the rampage of the daily routine, my eyes get captivated to a news flashing on the screen of my TV. It said " women will be fined,if found talking on their mobile phones". I at once check with my phone and the beings at home,whether I am liable for the same or not. Luckily the news said " the western part of Uttar Pradesh" and took a sigh of relief.
It's 8:30nd my lad is ready to be dropped to his play school. N I pick up my cellphone before I leave . But ,the same thought wanders my mind throughout . How can some one be fined for talking on the phone?  The situation becomes complicated when it mentions"patriarchy ruling on women talking on mobile".
A panchayat in a village called Madora,a Muslim dominated area in Uttar Pradesh, have passed a rule saying "any woman talking on their phones will be charged a fine of rupees 21000. Yes,you read it right, it's twenty one thousand bugs. My mind questions for the same , we live in a democracy and we have equal rights of Speech for both the genders. But, why the rules under the system are biased. Every woman be it an elite class or from a small village should be able to converse and convey in any form she likes. Stopping her from doing  so will rotten our roots of development. I wonder why even today the man in a society has a patriarchy over things that should be equal for all and this is just a mere "talking on phone".
The panchayat also banned many activities like gambling,cow slaughter, etc. But,restricting a woman from using her only gadget is illogical. The panchayat responded to the rule by claiming that due to recent increase in the cases of elopement and affairs it was forced to restrict the pink clan to access the talking box(amusing for me). Is it that only the women is responsible for all sorts of "filmy Tamasha". Obviously, she has a partner in crime(the man himself). The educated girls of the region are facing this turmoil and raising voice for the inconvenience. As it is hindering their daily routine and hovering like a black cloud on their safety.
We are being blessed with the best of science and we keep progressing to enhance it . But, when we land to our sweet homes we forget that the science is not fiction. One needs to apply it and let every one enjoy it equally. Doesn't it makes you mourn for those like you use the technology and spread their wings? Let's share and help the "gulabi tribe"fly free with technology.

Celeberating Womenhood

It's time to cheer n shed no tears, To feel proud and stand out of the crowd, Not to feel shy but fly in the sky, Don't feel depressed but feel blessed , Enjoy the womenhood you are gifted as no body has the right to snatch it, You are the princess you are the queen because it's the kingdom of what you dream, Take a step ahead and turn the heads, Let the hurdles on your way , act like pearls of the necklace you sway .

Let the Venus in you climb the heights and break the societal fights, You not bound in any fear so, my ladies say cheese and say cheers ..!!

"Smoking" oops "hating" is injurious to health

The recent viral pictures of the famous celebrities Ranbir and Mahira are making a steaming gossip over the coffee everywhere. The viral pictures took a wide turn when few people showed there disagreed faces against the Pakistani actress and she was slut-shamed all over for smoking in a short dress in New York. The eyes went to and fro focusing on the lady blowing smoke rather than watching the handsome man doing the same. Ah.. well yes he was noticed too when we decided to claim that being a Pakistani women Mahira shouldn't have done smoking with a Man. My question is why is a woman slut shamed in public for living freely? Smoking is definitely injurious for health but hating someone also falls in the same track. What if she was wearing a short dress and sitting in public with a man. That man is not being questioned for his drinking cigarette just because his gender owns the right to do that and we tag it as "cool statement". It is we who make our societies conservativ...

Kalbelia tribe through my lens

It was when I landed on the land of colours and traditional values, only then I could realise its beauty and Royality. The vintage heritage that can be smelled in the air. The foot prints of love left behind on the sand dunes that get distributed all over the Thar. The people who touch your heart with their warmth and you carry the memories to cherish forever. No wonder, why they add that little amount of sweetness in their foods just to give you a call of love to come back. Yes, I experienced the colours of happiness even in a desert. After witnessing the glory and Royal affair of the state .I went for camping in the Sam village in Thar desert, Rajasthan.That is when I met those beautiful tribe of vagabond girls who took a corner in my heart "the kalbelia girls". Kalbelia is a group of nomad "serpents" in Rajasthan. Their traditional occupation is to catch snakes and trading them from one place to another. They reside in small camps called deras and keep changing ...
