She said.
He said.
He hurt.
She hurt.
Then she hurt.
She hurt he. She hurt more.
She hurt she. More.
She burn. She cinder.
She freeze. He wonder.
She said never would she ever.
Me said never would I ever.
Why then. Does not really matter.
He go. She go.
Like stranger.

False rape cases under the provision of 'sex with false promise of marriage' has become a dangerous menace. I have to agree with men's rights activists like @ArnazHathiram @DeepikaBhardwaj on this. And I really want to do something about it. Let's discuss this ladies.
The irony is there is nothing directly written in IPC about consensual sex during their days of courtship turning into rape after a bad break up. Yet this legal arm twisting is being routinely done by empowered educated, financially independent women.
Feminists, masculinists and liberaltarians must join hands in challenging this un-written law. It is a relic from the past when sex was purely tied to matrimony and reproductive purpose, and consenting adults didn't have romantic relationships or acts of love and pleasure.

RJ Sayema or Arfa Khanum or other influential politically active Muslim women in India do not wear Hijab themselves but support school girls wearing it because - choice. Problem is they avoid the truth that "choice" is never free from religious/social conditioning.
Question is, is it fair for privileged Muslim women who enjoy the modern Western liberal way of life and advocate/support following religious dogmas, patriarchal traditions to the under-privileged rural Muslim women or even children in name of identity politics?
The larger question is, those who don't practice wearing Hijab/burqa themselves, should they have an opinion regarding it either for or against? Should they speak for the rest of the Muslim women? Who represents the Muslim women of India?

Met a lady on a shared auto towards Saket metro. In just 15 min she displayed her hate for women and Muslims. First she ranted against a female driving an unwashed car. "dekho kaise hai, gaadi ko saaf nahi kar sakti. Agar safai wala nahi aaya toh khud se kapda nahi mar sakti."1/2
Then she looked at the road and ranted against rows of biryani shops. "Hamara desh mein na sab West ko copy kar rahe hai, itne saare biryani shop lagta hai jaise mein Hyderabad mein hoon." Nobody responded. Then she said, lagta hai mini pakistan hai."

Craziness level 100%
The level of illogic in her rants were just unreal. For one, if too many Muslim run biryani shops make her feel like it's Hyderabad how is it same as copying West? If it feels like Pakistan how is that West? She made no sense but it was obvious that she is right wing woman.

Very early in my life i realised and felt empowered that i don't need money. That's why i never took any liabilities. I have worked erratically taking jobs quitting jobs. Travel on saved money come back empty pocket to take another job only to spend it all again.
Money means nothing to me if people don't know me. Nothing makes me more alive than a few people saying hey read your piece or heard you speak. I can live on that. Baaki how much does one stomach needs. Got a roof over head and medical policy thanks to dad. No shame in that.
20 years back i took up first job only because i wanted a car. Even today that's my only need. I sold off the 15 yr old car last year. Will take another job only to buy 2nd car and quit again once i have paid the EMI. But i will keep doing things that make people go "wow"

Single people are expected to be there for friends and family on imp occasions/emergency situations but vice versa is never true. They won't turn up on your imp days because how can they? They have a family. You are the single freely available and easily dispensable one.
There will never be a day when you'll need them the same way. If you are single and not interested in motherhood then you won't need your friends for those important or sensitive occasions, pregnancy, child's special birthday party, first vaccination. #beingsingle
You are expected to be present at their son's mundan ceremony but they won't consider any of your occasions as important / sensitive events to attend. Like your first conference paper, your first book launch, your first protest, no not important for them.

As #RIPTwitter #TwitterDown #GoodByeTwitter trend, here's a thread on my first blog on Twitter. I wrote this after using Twitter for few days the first time: sanjukta.wordpress.com/2007/07/17/do-…

July 2007.
I joined in July 2007 out of FOMO. All the techies around me in Bangalore were talking about it and I felt left out. "...quite cool. That’s the thing with these technologies. Everyday they are inventing new means to make your virtual identity more vivid," I wrote.
"Twitter as the name suggest is a chirp. I am sitting at my workplace while my boyfriend is having lunch with a client. So I go to my twitter account and twitter, “My boss just yelled at me that asshole.” My bf would get this message either on his twitter page or Gtalk..."
