Good afternoon readers . I am going to be 'ranting' about a very different range of subject today and if that is going to induce boredom in you , I suggest you cancel the page now but if you are really into human rights and solely believe in it , then continue reading .


I was just browsing through a few selected pages today and something caught my attention . I've always respected and adored Sheena Jebal's views on society and all . * Incase you people don't know who she is , she was the female host in the show called "Vidiyalukku Illai Thuram" which aired on Vasantham Central * . Well , she mentioned something about "Acid Terrorism " in her page and that simply took my attention to a serious problem faced by women in Pakistan .


Do read on ..


Faces of these women were mutilated by acid, and this is the work of bastards who call themselves men. This is such a strange way of solving problems (or revenge) in Pakistan. You can look at these poor women and learn why the acid was thrown into their faces........ To even think that such inhumane acts still continue to exist in this world, is hard to swallow! Very painful images about the really dark-side of modern-day life!


Be grateful for what you already have, cos life is not always all that more pleasant on the other side of the fence.

Soo?? . Is it such a bitter pill too hard to swallow ? It better be . Let's face the truth - we people are too lucky to belong to the other side of the country that believes in compulsory education to both genders . Well , discrimination is definitely minimal in this country ( I shouldn't say it's an absolute zero because nothing is absolute in today's world ) . Hence many of us are well-informed , well-read and we can articulate our expressions and thoughts well unlike others . Women of the world , can you believe how lucky you are ?. I count myself highly lucky because I'm definitely not a submissive girl and oh fuck , I don't believe in male chauvinism and I strongly think misogynist can go fly kite ! So can you believe a girl like me living in such a "girls should always be brow-beaten society" ?. Yes .. that's what I am talking about .


Women of the world ( or rather , the developed countries ) , please realise how lucky and blessed you are . You are a woman for a reason - you know what you are capable of and all . There is no reason for you to be brow-beaten to a man . I mean , yes guys are supposed to be stronger and etc etc but that SIMPLY doesn't give them the right to ensure we become their dolls . C'mon ladies , come out of that cage . If not , honestly there's no difference in being in a developed or undeveloped country . Each affected woman is coming forth to share her stories to ensure we don't go through that and if you are not going to make a decision now , then there's no worth in her sacrifices !! . Firstly , step up - in every way . We can always be better than guys in everything - education , physical activities , looks , thoughts and the list goes on . We should always save our own self-respect and we cannot rely on the other gender to save our self-respect . A guy should only be there to complete your life , not to control you . Remember this , you don't owe a living to anyone else except to God ! God created you for a reason and so we owe our lives to him and not anyone else . And ladies , I read an excellent article on "Why women stay with controlling men " and trust me , all the points were so crystal-clear .

ONE LOVE . ONE LIFE . LIVE IT !
