Feminism and Patriarchy

 Feminism and Patriarchy  The two most misinterpreted words for today’s generation. Those who know that Feminism has nothing to do with men, are the ones who are aware and those who think that feminism is Neha Dhupia saying “it’s okay to have five boyfriends, it’s her choice ”need some insight. Though, what the actor said wasn’t at all wrong after Indian laws on adultery had been revised (adultery is no longer a criminal offence in India).  Coming back to feminism, it’s a revolution against a system called Patriarchy which has been ruining people’s life since decades. Patriarchy (pitrasatta) is a system of society or government where the male becomes the head of the family and descent is reckoned through the male line. Putting together in simpler terms, it’s a system which gives one gender i.e. male the complete hold of power and totally excludes one gender i.e. Female. Women are not the only victims of patriarchy, men too suffer from it. As a result of patriarchal mindse...

Safety of Women at Public Places

The recent incident of a police officer being arrested for  an immoral act that he committed in front of a woman has again raised the case for women safety at public places.Public Safety has various implications for people in India. Ladies are unmistakably bound to encounter verbal and physical provocation, following, attack, ambush, rape and assault contrasted with men. While India has a high rate of viciousness and rape inside the family unit, a lot of this happens in broad daylight spaces. On lanes, in transports, schools, workplaces and stops, and even police headquarters and emergency clinics. Lewd behaviour and brutality against ladies are widespread to such an extent that society doesn't think about following or grabbing or verbal provocation to be not kidding issues. The typical response is the idea that fortunately, it wasn't rape, or more regrettable, assault, and afterwards how to change one's day by day schedule to stay away from the perpetrators. According to t...

BLACK LIVES MATTER?

BLACK LIVES MATTER? This is a question which is still relevant and is being asked. In 21 century people still hold a opinion about you, whether you’re a CRIMINAL or not based on your COLOR. The recent tragic death of George Floyd by police officer is a cause of worry. The movement BLACK LIVES MATTER that started in  2013, began with the use of the hashtag  #BlackLivesMatter on digital platforms  after the acquittal  of George Zimmerman  in the death  of African-American teen Trayvon Martin  in February 2012 and then been continued . But the recent intensification of the protests all around the world and especially in New York, USA is the result of the accumulation of injustice and suffering that the native African-Americans have been subjected since the abolition of slavery.  The forefathers of American Revolution fought together to abolish this unholy practice of subjugating one person to another on basis of color.

Friendship Vs Dating: What’s Better?

Love takes a toll, friendship takes a stroll! friendship takes a sTroll. It might be ironic but love takes a toll on your life even when it does not want to. There are so many constraints to being together with the person you want. Either it is family or societal issues, ego or personal problems, love seldom has an easy path. Friendship, however, is more carefree. Your family would not generally have a problem with your best friends if they are the right people. Friendship even pervades such illogical pursuits of class and status, name and fame to score over sometimes nauseatic love. Friendship is liberal; love, not so much  friendship is liberal You become friends with someone because you guys resonate with some understanding. Naturally, you don’t even need to explain yourself to your besties, they know more than enough about you to have you sorted. Love though has to build up the understanding. As something not very innate, you find lovemaking a clear diversion from logic when di...

  The main reason behind all the diseases is the distress which we go in our daily life. As the doctors recommend that laughter is the best medicine, as it helps us to relieve our mental distress.

My Dream House

  Since I was a child, I had been dreaming to live in a house that would be a place of peace, joy, and inspiration. I don’t like the idea of living in a noisy city in an apartment in the block of flats. My dream house should be situated outside the city, in a deserted place, somewhere in a wood near a lake surrounded by the wild beautiful nature, or it would be an amazing idea to live somewhere on an island like Hawaii with beautiful sandy beaches and a lot of sun. I adore nature and it would be so exciting to wake up early in the morning and listen to the birds singing. At least, my dream house should be located near a small river in the countryside where I could live in peace and harmony with serene nature. My dream house should be of a simple design; I would like it to be a bungalow style house designed in basic colors that are appealing to the eyes. I would like to have a huge lawn in front of my house and enough parking for several cars. There should be a small garden plante...
