Ah Woman

This is a short story my brother sent me sometime back. I am bringing this story here for all of you even though I found it so heart-breaking. The story illustrates how we loose our awareness in fits of rage for things that do not really matter. While dad was polishing his new car, his four year old son picked up a stone and scratched a few lines on the side of his car. The father seeing this got so furious that in anger he took the child's hand and hit it several times, not realising that he was using a wrench. At the hospital, his child asked, "dad when will my fingers grow back?" Dad was so hurt. He went back now to hit his car and kicked it many times. Exhausted he sat back and his eyes fell on the scratches. Coming close he saw....his son had written, Dad I love you.... How can we forget that people are meant to be loved and things are meant to be used. What a tragedy it is that people are being used and things are being loved.

Stop blaming the parents for female foeticide. A world without a single woman is what you fear? It shall be so one day. I read a news item that said that there's a new Japanese game which has penetrated even the remote cities of India which is about how to rape a woman. It can be played by a number of men together. Here a woman can be seen as screaming for help, trying to protect herself in vain while the men can strip her clothes and do as they wish. I wondered sometime back on Mumbai outrage and the irksome irresponsible comment of the police official who said that it was a little matter . A little matter that two women are attacked and molested by a mob of forty men. Everyday one hears of female infants being raped and killed by men as old as fifty. Is this the civilisation we are proud of? Is this a world worth living? Why blame the parents who kill the foetus in the womb. At least they shall kill them with more love than bring them up lovingly and see them killed by a pack of...
