HIJRAS AND BEGGARS (In trains) !!!
Indian railways are one of the world’s largest railway networks. And most of us prefer trains for long distance journey. Let it be a holiday trip to Assam or for a business trip to Mumbai we prefer trains. Amazing journey! Too smooth journey. Now you take a seat and the train starts. You are enjoying the outside scenery. After a few minutes a boy comes to you asking for alms. You helped him happily. After another few minutes, an amputee comes to you and again you put few coins in his hand. May be you did not want but his stubbornness will compel you. And it continues. Either a blind or a helpless woman or a child keeps on coming to take some coins out of your pocket.Now, you think no more disturbances will be there but soon you hear somebody claps at the other side of the coach. I guess you have understood whom I am referring to. Yes, Hijras! They are referred as the third gender and are inhabitant of India and Pakistan. And of all alms seekers they are the most dangerous one. Well, don’t you think they harass passengers? Yes they literally harass passengers. You’ll not agree with me if you travel in AC coach otherwise you will.Don’t think me as heartless who does not want to help needy. Of course I want. But thing is that all whom we meet in trains are not really beggars they could have done something other than begging for their livelihood. And forhijras and the needy people I have a solution.By statistics, around 30 million passengers travel trains daily. If railway authorities take a donation of Rs. 5 with every ticket then total collection will be 150 million rupees daily.Now, there are 7000 stations in India. Let us assume per station there are 200 beggars and hijras then total number of needy people is 14 lacs (1.4 million). Now distribute the 150 million among them. Each of them is getting about Rs.107/day.Then passengers will be never harassed. And to make it possible the first step railway authority should take is to identify the real needy people and register their names.I request railway ministry to look over this matter. Believe me, railway journey has become like hell because of them.

WE HINDUS AND THE SECULARISM !!!
We do not like to speak we are Hindus because the country is secular. We prefer to say our religion is superstitious, vague because else others may call us communal. We, the Hindus can kick our religion for the sake of secularism. It's not our fault, it's our nature. In the past, we were been slaves for two hundred years and now also we love to be slaves. Our blood is slave. We never want our children to learn sayings in the Geeta but we like them to learn new filmy songs. Is there any mother who teaches her child sayings from the Geeta? Is there? Change your thought, be strong, fight for your rights, know your religion,you will get aim in your life, peace in your life and the success.
Secularism does not mean ignoring your own religion, throwing away your own religion, mingling your religion with others', comparing your religion with others' but to respect all the religions.
I think, we can't be secular till there is politics because it is a religion that hates every other religion. The day, each of us can proudly utter our own religion without any fear of getting tagged as communal, we can say that we are secular, India is secular.

TACKLING RAPE !!!
"A girl is raped in Mumbai," "A girl is molested in Ashram" are the headlines in almost all medias these days. Searching for reasons? Here I go with some points which I think are responsible,
Improper psycho-sexual development. Lack of proper sex education. Lower socio-economic status. Individualism. Inefficient judicial system .
No doubt boys achieve puberty at teen age but the thought comes much earlier. At around 6 years, a boy knows there is something that gives immense pleasure. He starts exploring the secret. Now, whenever he is alone he thinks of the secret and with age he comes to know it's sex. Thinking about sex has become a habit to him now. Mostly it happens in the families of higher and poor socio-economic status. As in both the cases parents are engaged in job and boys get enough time to make a mind that thinks of sex all the time. And here lies the root of improper psycho-sexual development. They should be taken care of atleast upto the age of 16 years. In case, he comes to know about sex before puberty, parents should solve the questions arising in his mind. Don't let him solve. Remember, those problems are not from mathematics but problems of life. If he solves , answer will be different. And here is the need for proper sex education. Individualism is another reason. Now a child is told to be self dependent as early as possible and get a separate life. He becomes, but bondage among the family members weakens. When there is no value of the family, society does not exist. So, a man can commit a crime (rape) without any self inhibition. Even after all these if an incidence occurs, our judicial system proves to be inefficient. Why so much proceedings? I think proceedings should be retrospective. Like, when a complaint has been entered,
Put the accused behind the bars.Make a team to investigate the matter. There should not be any defendant. Got any clue supporting his crime, increase the punishment. Found guilty, severe sentence. (Accused can appeal in higher court and higher court should follow the same steps) Found innocent, make him free and reward him.
Last but not the least, good mentality matters. The government is noway responsible for rape but the society is. Get the accused before police reach and then you see, how crimes reduces. Let's together build a safe INDIA.

CORRUPTED GIRL...!!!
Birds charm, I wake
And go for a race
As two thin legs with a shinning face
Moves along the street.
She winks at me,
My heart freezes.
The sun laughs as u do
But frankly, I feel it as breeze.
I missed the charming today,
I missed the morning mist
As am not worried to chase
But yearning for the roadside park.
The sun is tired,
Me in the park
And she too with the rose
Wrapped in the letter I wrote.
She smiles and says,
He gives me what i need
All the time we go for a date.
Dear, what else u have
That is not in my fate??
With a silence, I uttered-------
You r corrupted, Really corrupted, sweetheart !!!
And go for a race
As two thin legs with a shinning face
Moves along the street.
She winks at me,
My heart freezes.
The sun laughs as u do
But frankly, I feel it as breeze.
I missed the charming today,
I missed the morning mist
As am not worried to chase
But yearning for the roadside park.
The sun is tired,
Me in the park
And she too with the rose
Wrapped in the letter I wrote.
She smiles and says,
He gives me what i need
All the time we go for a date.
Dear, what else u have
That is not in my fate??
With a silence, I uttered-------
You r corrupted, Really corrupted, sweetheart !!!
