Love at First Sight

It was at a b'day party,

I saw her for the first time.

Love gushed through my veins 

instantaneously.

I was flirting with her all along, 

however

she remained unperturbed, silent

and 

focused

on whatever she was up-to.

Asked a friend for her name.

"Canon EF50mm Lens"

was the reply.

"What a Creation"

I sighed...!!!

World Headlines in 2060 - America #2

"Barack Obama is set to receive his 10th Nobel Peace Prize, his first posthumously !!!"

    The most successful and powerful President, The United States has ever seen, is set to receive his 10th Nobel Peace Prize (posthumously of course) and there is no one in the history of Nobel Laureates to achieve and be recognized so much.  Some even say that if his achievements are listed out on A4 sheets at one deed per line, with the sheets clipped together making a link, it would be long enough to make a complete circle around the earth. But then he (Mr.Obama) just chided away such an idea when someone suggested just before his death as it seemed as a cheap publicity stunt in his eyes. He was aware of his 10th slated peace prize well in advance before his demise and even before the Nobel Peace Prize committee even sat down to list out the probables for this year and hence Mr.Obama has recorded a Nobel Peace Prize reception speech which would incidentally be the first of its kind in Nobel Laureates  history and it would be aired during the reception ceremony. 


         Remembering the first instance Mr.Obama was awarded the peace prize, a veteran Nobel Committee member was heard telling "We at the Nobel Peace Prize Committee were very much impressed on listening to his first run up to Presidency speeches, doting the slogan <Vote for Change>. We passed a resolution unanimously voting for a change in the way of giving away Nobel Peace Prizes too. The resolution was the idea of including those people who may possibly work in the future for the cause of maintaining or restoring peace around the world as a potential candidate for the Peace Prize and Barack Obama was the first and only such recipient till date to win a Nobel Prize that way." We do indeed hope that the world would become a Peace Haven with The United State's successful conquest of 'de-terrorizing'  78th consecutive country, as a tribute to Mr.Obama, who's soul will surely rest in peace, 10 times...!!!

The Savior

She was brought-in unconscious

with broken jaw &

cracked head.

Her relatives were depressed & devastated.

With a deft confidence HE promised them,

 her complete recovery.

She got back home in three days,

hale & healthy.

However

not a single soul ever thanked HIM for what HE did

because he was just a mechanic.

Top Five Tricks NOT To Be Taught To Kids

     As a popular ad says kids need to be "Smarter, Stronger & Sharper", just imagine how much does the parents of those kids need to be. There are quite a large number of kids whose  parent's exclamation ranges from "Oh wow, he/she is  so cute and naughty" to "OHH MY GOD , I cannot handle 'it' anymore".  Here are the TOP 5 NOT-To-Be-Taught tricks that are taught to kids which hits back the parents later on in their lives.

• #5 Hit Me - The easiest and earliest of the vulnerable tricks that could cause damage and embarrassment is teaching a kid  to peck and slap, by holding their hands. It will look cute to see a 2 year old do that but not any further once the kid starts to speak and goes to school.
• #4 Abuse Me - Some young parents does not truly foresee the impact of 'teaching' kids a few words of abuse "to show off" amidst their friends circle that their kid has picked up such words so early, only to realize later that their kids have become such intolerable brats because of their choice of words in conversations, having grown up.
• #3 Denial Mode -  Many a time when kids play with something or have something in their hands, elders tend to ask them for it. Some parents teach the kids the art of denial to such requests. Kids catch up with this trick rather quickly and rather improvise to be in the denial mode even to their parents, later.
• #2 Possessiveness  - This is just the other way round of the denial trick wherein kids stay adamant and cocky when someone takes or uses 'their' stuff. It starts from something as small as a toy to grow in proportions to as much as 'their' house when they grow up, asking their parents to leave.
• #1 Being Disrespectful and Unapologetic - This is the most disheartening and painful one which is not taught, like the ones said above but needs to be corrected by the parents when kids behave disrespectful or speak in an unapologetic manner rather than gape and awe at their kids prowess and 'wisdom' when they do that. The reason for this being the top most because this in turn leads to the other four listed above, being 'learned' by the kids in due course of time.

      A few blessed elders does not give chance for these to creep into a kids mind and some lucky elders realize this sooner and make amends whereas MOST realize very late after a lot of damage has been done in shaping the kid and then repent for it later on, as we know "all kids are more or less the same at birth, its how they are nurtured that defines their personal aura and sets their character."

Prostitutionalization

Disclaimer

 The below mentioned FACT is just MY opinion documented and any resemblance to something you have seen or heard off, is purely intentional!!!

        With International Women's Day being celebrated this month, there would be scores and scores of activities abuzz across the nation by various political affiliates and corporates as well as news articles, shopping offers and what not in the name of supporting, appreciating and celebrating womanhood. At this timely juncture I felt it would be apt to highlight a different genre of how women are "celebrated" if not on Women's Day but throughout the year at various societal, economic, cultural, regional levels and that brings us to categorical classification of women as prostitutes. 


WHAT THE HELL? 
      Yes you read it right, women in our country are indeed represented, branded, classified and that act is what I would like to call as prostitutionalization. 


WHY SO?

    Well, those who could not understand of why such a terminology in first place, are those who are ignorant of such a thing either by chance or by compulsively minded practice to not accept that fact openly and maybe just be furiously judgmental already, at such an audacious representation.

I AM READY TO HEAR THE HOW PART...
      Just to fine tune your focus on the precise direction of representation of this fact and also for the benefit of the ones who are new to this term, prostitutes are the one who do the obvious stuff (First part) for Money (Second Part) wherein the motive "For the second part" elevates a woman to be termed as a prostitute. BUT the people, in our country at large do not stick to the dictionary definitions and instead make do with their own representations and branding to give that COVETED title to women (in raw plain English, with a lot of colloquial and expletive synonyms and derivatives indicting the same) either with a precognitive mindset or "From the experience of the number of women I have seen, known and heard off" mindset. This "make do representative mindset of people" about women is THE CRUX of my HOW part.

• The most common form of such a classification happens during angry outbursts by men (usually) and women (these days) in calling men and women as Son of B****s (SoBs) and B****s respectively in any and all possible languages they are familiar with and there is no validation or reasoning of such derogatory statements. Many are so very fluent in making such statements that they're mentally numb to notice who and what they are referring to.
• Its surprisingly saddening that these judgments are passed on girls even at school level when they are found talking with lot of boys and a lot sooner if the boys are not from the same class or age group or if people could not arrive at some logical connect behind a girl's such an action and the same stands good and even "better" in college life.
• An outspoken and broadminded woman in a Corporate is regarded, subtly branded "approachable" right away.
• Actresses, be it Television or Cinema, Personal Secretaries, Models, Air-Hostesses, Housekeeping staff, Hotel Management industry people, those working under many of the verticals that are a subset of "Media" industry and a lot more fields where the glamor plays a predominant role, the women are mostly Character Assassinated (CAed) by default and retrospectively classified.
• Divorcees , spinsters and widows come under another larger section of women who are "talked with" and "talked about" on such similar coveted lines.
• And finally AIDS suffering / ailing women are looked upon and CAed yet again based on these presumptive mindsets.

As long as prostitution exists in one's thought as a feminine phenomenon and people do not deal with such "nobel" minded themselves or the ones they know, prostitutionalization will never cease to exist but will only grow stronger in its own subtler manner...!!!
