Revenge

"Is it always like this? Is it the same way for every one else?" I used to think. I could almost see misery everywhere. Were the others too suffering like me? Most of them were I knew. And I knew for sure.
Does he love me as he claims to? I really cant be sure of that. I never can be. Every morning, every evening, he uses me. He says, he feels great. He tells his friends, I'm great. How disgusting? How can a man be so cheap? I would wonder.
But I am getting used to all this. Its been two years, we've been bonded. And bonded they say for life. The initial few months we were inseparable. He would take very good care of me. Take me out. Introduce me to his friends. They all secretly were jealous of him, I know. A few of them were giving me those looks, trying to grab my attention. Looking all over me. I felt a bit weird, feeling like an exhibition show piece. They were hitting one me. But he loved me a lot, I thought.
But as time went by, he began showing his true colors. Or so I thought. He did not care much about me. He would leave me all alone for hours together. He would just come to me when he wanted and would leave me somewhere or anywhere. He did not care. And then that dreaded day came. I knew it would come. I knew it. He let one of his friends have me. "Just one hour" I heard them say. It bought tears to my eyes. But I obeyed him like the ever faithful wife. What else could I do?
He thinks he owns me. And may be he really does. What else could I do? No where I could go, in this cruel world. "All men are the same" I knew it. Yes, I knew it.
And then one day, we were going hand in hand. I knew it was coming. I knew it was coming. But I could not take insult no more. I knew it was coming. I did not warn him. And then it was just a flash. I watch him, now lying in a pool of blood underneath the lorry, next to the divider. I too have been wounded, but no wound compared to what I have been through. I lie here looking at him die. I may never be the same again, but I got my revenge in the end.
And for all the times he took pleasure, I finally proved I am "DEFINITELY MALE".

The big Indian Double Standard

Double standards?
India along with Israel and USA are the countries most affected by terrorism. Well thats a notion most people in India and the west have. But in the past other European countries like Spain and UK have been at the receiving end of serious terror attacks. Well, these forms of terror need to be tackled. The USA has done it successfully. Israelis have been doing it but are yet to see complete success. Europe is united against terror and they look to have it under control. So that brings us to India. Attack after attack have been a common thing in India. We have lost over 50,000 lives to terror since Independence. And we still do not seem to have a concrete measure to tackle the issue. But post-Mumbai the government seems to have woken up and we have been promised concrete measures. But anyway that'll not be the point that I'll try to drive home.
How many of us have noticed the double standards that Indians have when it comes to tackle terror. There is one small country in the Southern hemisphere that has been witnessing a different kind of terror. And now for 38 years. Terror that is not related to a religion. If I were a media person I'd promptly name it 'Tamil Terror'. Why does India not recognize that Srilanka has been facing the same kind of terror in Jaffna that India has been witnessing in Kashmir. Its a group of separatist who want a country of their own. And what for? Do we not tell 'them', if u dont love India u may as well go away to Pakistan? Then why this double standard here? If one Armyman called 'some' politicians 'Jokers', why on earth is India so bothered? Why dont they mind their own business? The politicians say 'They are our people' so the feelings. If thats the case, then why not bring them back to our country, why should they be fighting another country and to break it up? Is there any logic there? And if they are ethnic Jaffnites, then why the heck should our people call them ours? Only because they speak the same language? Do you know that the LTTE is banned in 32 countries, including India. And we lost one of our most promising Prime Ministers to these terrorists. But still we have 'jokers' openly supporting them and there is nothing the country can do about it.
Let the country stand united and lets not interfere in some other country's internal issues.

You lost me

I have voted four times. And none of the times have I seen a symbol other than the Lotus on the EVMs. Well, now thats gonna change. It all started with the BJP opposing the nuclear deal. Well if the country did not come first, then sorry buddy. And next was the very guy I voted for, Mr HT Sangliana, cross-voting. Sigh and it was not for the nuke deal. Next 6 MLAs from the opposition resign from the JD(S) and Congress and their seats too. All of them are inducted into the cabinet and they'll be fighting on a BJP ticket(Hope they all lose). And now look at the party's reaction after the Mumbai blasts. No Mr Advani, I admire you, but no my country comes first.
And hell no, I'm not gonna vote for any other of these political party(Congress, JD, Left, BSP or any other rotten eggs). Let me join the majority of youth who have no faith in democracy and will not vote. Will not vote until we the youth come forward with an alternative.
I want a safe India. One that is safe for all my countrymen and women.

"Come back as anyone, comeback and save my India, our India"
