MEDIOCRITY


An average man withers away his entire life roughly from –HOME TO OFFICE AND OFFICE TO HOME. This becomes his regular hectic schedule and he tends to be too busy running all through his days. He won’t get time to sit quiet in solitude, watch the pale silvery moon or walk in the woods. He can’t make the time to attend the ceremony of his far related cousin sister. Hardly does he know the true colour of the morning sun. He gobbles down his breakfast just a few minutes before his office time, his eyes constantly fixed to his old pale, faded watch that he might have “inherited” as a small fraction of his dowry during his marriage. He is too restless to sit for long and listen to his groaning mother and nagging wife. The fixed stars in the firmament seem to twist and unfix their fate.

Such sorts of people of mediocrity would set off from their homes early in the morning, leaving their children sleeping. When they hastily return late at night, they find their children sleeping. Interestingly, they give a lame excuse that they do all this just for them. One day, their children go away to some foreign land forever, leaving their parents to sleep alone in the BIG house.

Rape


Forcing oneself over another by abusing sexually is called rape.
In India we have many tortoise-like rules, laws, and punishments for this kind of brutality. We all know about Gandhiji, the father of our nation. When India got Independence from the British, he said, “India will have complete freedom when a girl can walk on a road at midnight fearlessly.”

Now, we feel safer to walk with a policeman. But really, are girls really safe?
Let’s analyze the present situation of the world. A girl child going to school to learn and then comes back home and her mother finds marks on her body. When they complain to the police, they ignore and no action is taken against the culprit, instead the victim is assaulted again.
A girl is raped by her father, abused by her brother and also assaulted by her friends. And why is that? That’s because she is a GIRL.
Just a few months back we heard about the rarest of rare case of rape in Delhi. It is the most brutal example of animal behavior of a person.
Now the court has ordered to hang the heartless criminals. Is that enough for all that they have done?
Just hanging the criminals will kill them after a few minutes of suffering. But think about the pain and humiliation the girl had to go through every day before she died an untimely death.

There are several such girls who get raped in our country every single day and then are looked down upon by the society and become a burden to their family.
The court says that if someone commits a rape, he should pay some fine and remain in jail for a year or two and then he’ll be back on the streets. The question that haunts me- is the fine which they pay considered the value of a girl’s purity and dignity in the society?
When a boy sees a girl with a bad intention, I think they should just think about their own mothers and sisters and re-think their intentions.

I don’t say they should treat women as a goddess but just as a fellow human being who deserves her rights, just like everybody else! Don’t treat her like a commodity with a price tag.
Girls should have a right to wear whatever they please without being questioned or stared at in public. All they want is right to freedom of expression and they should be able to achieve that without any objection.
And remember, in revenge and in love woman is more barbaric than man is.

Today’s Students

In today’s times many of us go to college to learn.
But quite a few go to college with very little concern.
Some go to college for a walk, while the others go simply to talk.
Some go to college, their parents to obey,
Others go there because of the fees they pay.
Some go to college their friends to meet
Others go there only to occupy seat.
Some go to college to do their duty,
But some go to college to show their beauty.
Some go to college their teachers to please
And some go to college their teachers to tease.
Some go to college to impress
While others go to college to show their dress.
Some go to college to call others by nickname
But for some going or not going is the same.

GOD SENT A PERSON

Photo: Every student has at least one teacher who influences his or her life in a major way. This is Meghana's tribute to all those teachers who have lent her a helping hand on her journey of life.

GOD SENT A PERSON

God sent a person!
Yes God sent a person
Only to this earth;
Who nourished a seed 
Into a big tree,
Which helped the universe
In several ways,
By the help of a person
None other than
MY TEACHER!

God sent a person!
Yes God sent a person 
Only to this earth;
Who chiseled a star
Out of a glowing mass
Which gave bright light 
Even in the dark night
Yes it is MY TEACHER!
God sent a person!
Yes God sent a person
Only to this earth
Who watered the bud
Which bloomed into a flower
And gave lots of fragrance 
To the entire world
It’s none other than
MY TEACHER!

God sent a person!
Yes God sent a person
Only for the student
So that 
They would grow
Into Good citizens, Good leaders,
Good humans, Good persons
That is none other than
MY TEACHER!
