Nirbhaya case

It was an incident that shocked the nation. We couldn't save her but Justice was the least that we wanted for her.

Today after 4 years the justice has been served. The 4 convicts of Delhi Gangrape have been sentenced to be hanged till death. It has come as a relief and we hope it sets an example for others.

But isn't Justice delayed Justice denied? Doesn't it also points out the loop holes in our system? It does suggest that we need to make better laws, something that instills confidence in the hearts of civilians and fear in the minds of criminals. We need to restore the faith of general masses in our judicial system.

When so many people came out on the roads to protest, there was a wave of anger and frustration that we saw. We hoped that maybe things will change but what followed was unfortunate. Crimes are just becoming more and more common. Laws have become a joke and the Police and our Judicial System is mocked by these criminals.

The question is when will things really change? Discussion and debate is important but action is of greater significance. We need to initiate the change and changing our own mindset is the first step. Rather than hiding our daughters behind doors why not to teach our sons to behave, why not to do what we preach? There is a long fight we have ahead of us, so why not to begin sooner.

Ramblings Of A Mad Woman

If you find yourself on this page by any chance, please bear with me for today. Though as I search the meaning of "ramblings" just to be sure, I realised, its exactly what this post is most likely to be. "L engthy, confused and inconsequential." I guess sometimes you just want to be heard but don't know how to really reach out. You want to have a conversation but don't know how to ask for it. At times, you even try and reach out, you often end up feeling a little letdown. (Even though you also know that the other person is hardly at fault) Especially, amidst the Covid-19 lockdowns, no matter how much you try to stay sane, there are days you still lose your shit. It is easier to post, "It's ok not to be ok" but when your own 'not so ok' days arrive, you still feel the same which is ok too.  While blogs can often feel like a lot of work, I often take to my usually private WhatsApp Statuses to express how I feel. It's off-course easier...

Inside Gachon University Festival: My Experience as an Exchange Student in South Korea

Gachon University Festival in South Korea is a popular campus event featuring K-pop performances, student activities, and cultural celebrations. Originally experienced in September 2017, Gachon Festival was one of my most memorable experiences during my student exchange programme in South Korea. When people think of South Korea, they often imagine K-pop, K-dramas, street food and bustling cities. I too got a glimpse of that culture and celebration at the Gachon University Festival. It wasn't just about music and performances; it was about seeing thousands of students come together to celebrate, make memories and enjoy a brief break from their demanding academic schedules. I had attended college festivals back home in India, yet I was curious to see how a Korean university festival would compare. What Is the Gachon University Festival? Like many universities in South Korea, Gachon University organises an annual festival where students showcase their talents through music, dance, per...

Impressed with their Hindi

Today in the morning we met Sunaina and Priya. Sunaina and Priya are two of our Korean friends who can speak Hindi. I had heard a lot about Sunaina from Sheetal Di so I was excited to meet her. But when we actually met her, I was really impressed. All of us were like they look so cute when they speak Hindi. They actually were speaking pure Hindi and try not to mix even a single word of English when they speak Hindi. We were very glad to meet them and we promised to meet them again atleast before leaving.
