The Sea of Life... so be it, so be it, so be it!

The Sea of Life...


A quiet gloom has gripped this country
Family the basic unit is under threat
Young work force withering away
Seniors with disturbed old age
Mothers and sisters distraught
Children having to play at courts and chowkies
Men living like toy soldiers, helpless and torn

Is this the India we had imagined when free
Is this the life we had set out for?
Is this fair that innocence should suffer
Is this what they say ... stuck between a rock and hard place!

Do we act now or let our children take the blows
Is it Now or Never?, is it going to be you and me or None?

People .. We're in the same boat On the same sea
No one is immune to this injustice
Its me today.... god forbid... but its gonna be everyone tomorrow

Can't be stuck like this for ever, can we?
Lets move whatever is in our power, can we?
Lets do what we ought to do ... stand up for our rights
Its got to be me, you and everyone alive!
Alive... is a good stage to be... stay alive
Lest we be called corpses which lived a low-life
The one's who passed the bucked to us children
They did give us birth, but they were selfish
They didn't care for us, all they wanted was to live
Live a life of false dreams and egos

Lets not let this happen, lets not wilt away in silence
Lets pick up the tab, and pay it NOW, and HERE.

For we're in the same boat On the same sea
And we ought not to be
...... stuck between a ROCK and a HARD PLACE
..... never ever ..... Agnipath ... Agnipath ... Agnipath!
.... path of fire which leads to some happy place
If that's the way we have to take, so be it, so be it, so be it......

Simple pleasures of life ... Fathers of Orphans

Simple pleasures of life ....

Repressed waters of sad longings
Men who don't cry carry
Counting on his countless hopes and few blessings
Trudges through the jungle called life
Can he carry on alone, ridiculed as loveless
Will he be able to express his pain and dreams
Of simple pleasures of life, like holding his children
Playing with them, showing them this wild wild world
Being there for them, as only he can
May be there's a sunrise which changes all this sadness
May be a few sons should rise, rise above this tyranny
Rise so that life can carry on as we know
Simple pleasures of life..... are coveted, those are the most coveted of them all.

As some live as fathers of orphans!, helpless of being so.
Fathers of Orphans ..... denied of simple pleasures of life & a world denied of smiles

Why will a law lose its teeth if truth is investigated!

Quoted from the above article "Asunta Pardhe, advocate and chief functionary, Chetna Mahila Vikas Kendra, says, “The majority of genuine cases will be adversely affected. It will be more difficult for women to fight domestic violence.” "

Its surprising to the point of disgust that these so called women activists are claiming that if the truth of the complaints(from women regarding cruelty/harassment against them) are investigated, the law loses its teeth!!!.

These radical feminists(feminazies) are exposing their true agenda by saying so- they only want these 'women-protection' laws to be there for them to be misused by unscrupulous women and their advisers, so that more and more false cases of cruelty and offenses against women are created and thence more and more funds come their way from the benefactors like UN and NGOs from the developed countries, and neo imperialistic and economic terror establishments of USA , etc.,.


Please do keep up the good work your media house has been doing and bring out the truth behind these money-mongering feminazies, who will make the death-knell of Indian family if they are not kept on check or eliminated totally.

Life .... mysteries.... evolving life

Mayur and Preeti got married in a jiffy, nothing else describes their marriage than this.

Preeti was a very well-natured, but popular girl wherever she went(school , college or office), her simplicity and innocence. She always made it sure that all those suitors were denied, since she wanted to marry someone the Indian way!, the arranged and announced way. Her family loved her that much, as to make her think of them before she thought of herself. This may have been a bane in retrospect, as they say in flight safety announcements, put the safety mask on yourselves before you help others!. She lived with her parents, near to her married sister(whose son she doted, maybe she wanted to have a kid of her own, too soon, in retrospect)

Mayur had a very troubled childhood. His mother was a very fiery lady, who went on to say that her husband raped her and Mayur was the result. He had been hearing this all his childhood, that is whenever he came home for vacations of the boarding school his mother decided to park him away. His mother was interested in living a queen size life, and would do whatever it takes to do that(she was in the travel and hospitality industry, which had ways and means to achieve her goal). Mayur's mind was warped because of these conditioning, in addition to the sexual harassment he had to endure all his schooling days, from various person, since he was seen as a meek person by all. All this made him a volcano waiting to erupt, he never could stick to his own decisions, since his mother and aunt used to decide for him all his life.

Mayur had given his details/bioddata in his companies intranet, in the section which facilitated matrimonial alliances, since his mom and aunt wanted only his money(in dollars ,since he was now in US working onsite for an Indian company). Preeti got Mayur's details forwarded by her friend in Mayur's company. She responded with her details to Mayur's email. Mayur came to see her during his 25 day vacation to India, he liked Preeti without much delay(he wanted a friend dearly), and told Preeti's folks that engagement and Marriage should happen before he goes back to US. Preeti's family was delighted, the guy was a good match prima facie!- the only stuff they couldn't digest was the way he requested not to inform the matter to his mom, whatever needed would be dealt with by his aunt.

Anyway marriage happened, and they went to aunts place(mom still not informed!, since she was against all men- not their money of course). The first day itself was a shocker to Preeti, aunt went on to explain how Mayur could have got a better birl, with a lot of assets, etc. Second day was bad since his mom came to know and had a showdown in front of Mayur. The following days were even worse for Preeti, Mayur changed 180 degrees from what he was while he used to date her before marriage, it was as if he was possessed.

He started doubting her every move, not letting her outside alone at all. They went to US as scheduled, but Mayur would lock her up, when he went to work. The situation only got bad, when Mayur found Preeti emailing her parents about whats going on, that day he threw her at the wall, and when he found that she cut her forehead and was bleeding profusely, the only concern was to stop blood and to make the gash unnoticeable!.

The torture and madness worsened and one day Preeti mustered courage, and demanded that she wants to go back, in his un-predictable state of mind Mayur agreed and she came back to India. After 6 months Preeti got Mayurs legal notice informing his intention to file for Divorce with Mutual consent. Preeti was happy and relieved, since the scars were fading, but her nightmares were not.

In the meanwhile Deep had met Preethi, they were friends at school. He told her about the false 498a complaint his wife put on him, and commented that it was the likes of preethi who should use this law. Preethi's answer was that she doesn't want to take revenge on Mayur, nor does she has dreams to get rich like Deep's wife by putting a 498a case. She was confident to live a life of dignity forgetting her past.

Deep thought....Strange are the ways of people, the ones who act 'the victim' are undeserving, the deserving has better ways out!.... Deep's story:  http://cruiserdeep.blogspot.in/2005/09/in-mad-rush-of-mumbai-in-between.html

A beautiful life .... which didn't happen .... could have well!

In the mad rush of Mumbai, in between the evening crunch to get home and rest, Deep met Meeth. She was the quintessential Mumbaite, trying to get on to the local train which was just approaching VT station, and determined to get that seat of hers. He was now a 6 year old in Mumbai, relocated for his Job from Bangalore.

Several dates and chat later, they decided that they need to marry, they were so perfect a 'dove-tail joint' match. Meeth's family had a lawyer pop, and home maker(and also policy maker!) mom, an elder brother who is a small time financier.

Deep was the only son of his parents, father owns a farm and is the wise old man of his village, mom is a teacher in primary school. Deep was a young man with a lot of ambitions and love inside, who had a good life and family around him.

Meeth's family had lost its glory when the era of Zamindars and 'Raj' ended. She did have a decent life and education, but with a lot of help from her uncle's side.

Deep was an active guy, reaching out to everyone he meets. Ever innovative and adventurous, straying from the time tested and sober ways of life and profession. This trait of experimenting and achieving, brought a lot of detractors in his life, as such he had detractors from his relatives side, since his family was well-off.

Meeth was conditioned by her parents to be scheming and manipulative since now the family subsisted on funds from their relatives. Their ego did not let them live a normal, transparent life.

Marriage happened, with the blessings if both families. But Deep got deeper in troubles by the passing day, he was faced with Taunts, Insults, comparisons and unworthy negativism from Meeth. Since both did love each other , even though Meeth's conditioning got the better of her and she displayed this negativism time and again. Deep, out of love that brought them together in the first place, tried to talk out of this unpleasant situation, but nothing seemed to work.

Meeth was keeping in touch with her family by phone, natural for someone who has only left home for 2 years of Master’s education. But the problem was her mother’s curiosity and power-mongering nature, she wanted her daughter to be in charge of the family in all respects(because she herself ruled over her husband back home!- it’s the culture over there!). On top of everything Deep’s own aunts schemed against him by poisoning Meeth’s mind. Deep didn’t realise whats happening, because he was not able to interpret the reactions of Meeth, when he was only giving her love and freedom to do whatever she likes.

To add trouble to all this, Meeth’s elder brother, Jeeth, did not like Deep’s pride in his abilities and achievements, he wanted a Yes-man in Deep!. With his connections with lawyers and related advisors, Jeeth knew how to humble any husband just with a false complaint of Harassment and Cruelty under IPC section 498a .

The rest is history, things just snowballed into a false 498a case, now Deep and Meeth lost their peace of mind along with a beautiful chance of building a loving family together.

Story of Preethi and Mayur... the other side of the coin .... only misuse(of women-protection laws) ... no USE!
