Violent masculinity is oppressive, exacerbates social conflict and is incompatible with democracy Three images of social violence have haunted me recently. The first was that of a minor girl in her teens, beaten mercilessly by a village elder. Her crime? She dared elope with her young lover. Second, after the acquittal of all six men accused of lynching Pehlu Khan, TV channels replayed the visuals in which a crowd of men participated gleefully in the atrocity. The third was of three Dalits being thrashed over allegations of theft. The barbarity of this violence can hardly escape anyone, but equally striking is the absence of any woman among the perpetrators. This theatre of cruelty has an all-male cast. Of course, women perpetrate violence too: they can be aggressive and brutal, particularly to other women. But undoubtedly, the culture that stokes such violence smacks of machismo. Though not solely responsible for such violence, this culture plays a central role in its recurrence, ju...

Nature's Design Specifications An Enigma Creation

This discussion has started from my friends social media status to a research and I'm here to find more realities based on this fact. Researchers in Japan and South Korea believes in deriving a thread that relates a person's personality with his/her blood group. This seems to be an unscientific and obviously ludicrous idea and has so far got no real solid scientific evidence of proof but It is getting much popular since 2008. The initiator dates back to 1927 when Takeji notes in his journal about a weird idea that got not much attention but it gained popularity with the series of books that followed almost immediately after that. The concept was discussed at a government level to breed best kinds of soldiers and group people for varies works in top companies in those countries at those times. This idea faced an idle death after 1940 with Takeji's death but got revived again in almost same to high energy and popularity after 1970 with a paper publication and series of b...

              Mr/Mrs.  Ants and Me      I n our world of expression and fantasies we're likely to miss out many adventures and opportunities that we care about. We may be forced to adventures we dislike and even terrible things happen in life. "We care about" is an expression to be used carefully because why at all do we care about things we care? Certainly that was confusing but things we care are no more our care. Nature behave differently at different times because its bounded by time. Here the point is "Differently" because that difference is different for different. If someone ask you what are your boundaries; in general for a human being it looks like, he's not good at 'this' but I'm good at 'that' or for some instance I'm good at nothing like me. How does nature enforce equality on animals? Me the author of this blog is good at nothing but there are people who looks like a pro. Where i...

My trip to Isha Foundation was exiting as the trip itself was unexpected and against odds. My companions had to leave somewhere leaving me alone, when I felt so bored I started for this trip. Isha yoga centre at Coimbatore was the nearest and I had a day's time to spend alone there. The place is a forest area in the western ghats near velligiri where we a see a lot of tree lined up. I spent almost an hour staring at the statue of Adiyogi. There is even a place to meditate in the mid to tourist near the statue. I received a kind of sacred 'thertha' there. I thought that was it but people cannot come there for only this... I saw an entrance to a temple like thing. The entrance showcased some rock carvings and beautiful font writing of ' Isha'. I got to cross the road and pass the entrance, walk straight past the trees lined on the way. When I reached the next entrance to enter the place they collected my phone , phone no age and even took my picture. I had leave ...
