                With Corruption Everyone Pays

Corruption has reached to its verge point and had left no option in front of people other than to get used of it. The reason behind is that every one from tip to root are corrupted,at every level work is corrupted at its own point. 
Earlier politicians were considered as the most corrupted person in India but now the police men are there to break their records. At each and every step police ask for bribe from people, misbehaving with people and asking money for registering FIR and exploiting women are some of the main charges police officers can be put under. But now they are becoming the reason for suiciding of people. Today a case of harassment for bribe came from New Delhi where two police constables, harassed a 48 years old  auto driver who was upset over allegedly being harassed for bribe and set himself on fire in Nebi Sarai area of south east Delhi. The auto driver had suffered 85% burn injuries and his condition is stated to be critical, treating is going on in a government hospital.

The auto driver in his statement said that he lived with his two sons and bought new auto. The two constables were constantly harassing them and even asked 20,000 from them as one-time bribe for letting them enter the area where he used to keep his auto in near by area.

He could pay only 7,000 to the two policemen, but they demanded more money then he requested them to allow them to pay remaining amount in installment but they declined and threatened them to frame in a false case and kept his son in police station and did not let them go even when the auto driver pleaded them then he finally set himself on fire.


What does this incident indicates...??? Corruption has increased its level so high that a common man is bound to remain under it and if can't he has no right to live. All most every sector is under trap of corruption in India where police comes at the hit list as it can be seen in the figure above. 
The capital itself is burning with corruption then how other states can remain untouched from it. Corruption seems to be very small word but everyone pays for it somehow.

Government, system whom to blame and whom not. Blaming or criticizing them can also bring no change because all of them are lying under shade of colors. India is hopeless, overall country is corrupted and its just impossible to make it free from it. The condition has reached to the point that now a 'NAYAK" like Anil Kapoor in movie also can't fix it.

                    Farmers Fighting For Livelihood


Farmers are said to be the main part of Indian population. India is based and known for its agriculture sector and the administrator of this sector are farmers. But its very sad to know that those who work hard to provide us food they themselves are not getting at least amount to serve their family and children. Farmers suicide is a big problem in India and government is doing nothing instead of giving some amount of money to their family to live rest of their life with the help of those money. India is the country where at least 70% person people depend directly or indirectly on agriculture but still government is in their own world of dreams.
There are lots of problems ranging from land, irrigation water, availability of quality inputs in time, improved production technology, timely credit, cheap labour availability, risk management-crop insurance, production of quality output, post harvest management, storage and premium price for the end product produced by farmers. All these factors must be considered and taken into account. Farmers are totally depended on their farming and it totally depends upon the climate. Farmers produces grains but sometimes due to flood, drought, or lack of irrigation facilities and technologies their all hard work is ruined and loss is to be repaid by themselves. Government do not provide insurance for their grains so that if some loss occurs farmers should not pay for that. And at the end the stress of serving their family and children leave no option for them but suicide.





According recent report by NCRB(National crime records bureau) in 2010, 15,964 farmers committed suicide, the majority of the suicide victims were in the age group of 30 to 59. Five most affected states in India are Maharastra(3,141), Karnataka(2,585), Andhra Pradesh(2,525), Madhya pradesh(1,237) and Chattisgarh(1,126). Average calculation of number of deaths during decade reveals over 45 farmers are committing suicide every day moreover, out of total deaths,around 15 per cent suicide victims are women farmers. A record says that 2.5 lakh farmers have committed suicide in India over the last 13 years. The despair has deepened over the past years with 18 of the 28 states reporting more suicides. The farmers suicide graph has been steadily rising.

Farmers are continuously fighting for their livelihood and waiting for the day when government will turn to their problems and their fight for their own produced food will come to an end.

                     Big Boss In You

Who is Big Boss, what is Big Boss, why is Big Boss....had anyone ever thought of this??? My dear friends please let me clear you first i am not at all  talking about the entertainment program  "BIG BOSS" that is being broadcasted over Colors channel on your LCD screen. I know whenever this word comes in front of anyone,what first comes to their mind is salman khan, 1 house, conspiracy, fight, celebrities etc. But here m talking about the big boss in you yourself which is not visible to you but remains always within you, that is your courage, will power and your positive energy inside.

I have always realized by own experience that a human being can achieve anything if he/she had the courage and determination for their goal in life. The same needs to be applied to the Indian citizen for their desire to get rid of the corruption, system and build a peaceful nation.

It's a simple connotation in people here that they are not the one to fight against corruption or take initiative to reverse the worse situation in the country. They often think of a superhero like Krish who will come for them and change everything in just one blink of eyes. But people need to understand that nation is made by all of us living together not just one superhero can make things right for you.

when coming out of theater after a movie is finished, everyone has desire to become like Shahrukh Khan and Salman khan. They copy their dialogues,style, even the adventurous stunt performed by them but none of them ever think of going out of the box, take risk in life like them and bring the change by their own effort. None of them want to take a lead to come forward for their own rights and fight for it. Everybody thinks someday someone will come and will vanish all the problems and evils from the society. But what's the need for someone else if everyone of us start recognizing our own responsibility and be true and honest for our own work, because society is made up of us not we by the society.

Big Boss is actually the person in you yourself who guides you in a right way. Big Boss is your superhero inside you who can actually bring the change by releasing that courage in you but for that you need to find it within you first. 

Very often we call Big Boss to the person we respect or are afraid of or somebody elder to us, same way that Big Boss inside you is there to whom you are afraid of when you do wrong deeds, you respect your own decision when you do something good & beyond expectations and again it is the big boss in you who provoke you to do the same. Make yourself your Big Boss not others. And try to find it inside you and respect his decisions and give birth to a new leader in you.

                    Let Me Also Speak Please

This is the story of every girl who want to speak for herself, her pride, her future but the society, the culture and fake beliefs of our country don't let her fight for herself. The story is all my own imagination, it does not have any connection with reality but yes the theme or subject of the story is the cruel truth of our society.

A girl named Meena belonged to a poor family but she was proud of her family and the upbringings she got from her parents. She was having 1 brother and two more sisters in her family younger than her. Her parents was not so rich but still they gave her proper education so that she could stand on her own in her life ahead and she don't have to depend on others for her needs. She got every kind of freedom from her parents because they trusted her. As she was elder of all her brother and sisters and only their father was the one to earn money for the entire family, so she decided to do a job which suits her personality and education so that she could help her parents and provide more better education to her brother and sisters than she got from her parents. After some discussion and after Meena made her parents understand the situation she was allowed to go out of house and do a good job. She was very beautiful, kind, gentle, understanding, caring and respected girl in her locality and now she was a grown up girl and her parents wanted her to get marry as everybody in her neighbor started forcing her parents as always happens in our society. Neighbors are always more concerned about the girls age of marriages than their own parents in our society. But Meena was not ready to get married at that time so she asked her parents the reason behind their worries about her marriage and then she got to know the actual reason behind that and convinced her parents to let her work and help them for some more time. But how could the neighbors sit silently because girls for them were meant to get married as soon as possible and burn her life in kitchen and home by cooking food and taking care of her husband and kids after marriage. So now they started attacking on her character that she remains out of her house all the time because of her work and often comes home late at night. And why she is not agreeing to get marry, it means that there is something wrong. without knowing the facts all the neighbor came together and announced everywhere that Meena is having a boyfriend that is why she don't want to get marry. When her parents got to know about these talks they felt ashamed and now decided finally Meena to get married. Meena was not agree but this time her parents did not listen her and forcefully married her to a guy who worked in a private company. They were not so reach so they could not fulfill the demand of dowry as asked by the boy's family to whom Meena was married. After 2 months of marriage Meena's mother-in-law started torturing her for the demands of dowry that her father was not able to fulfill at the time of marriage. After some days she dared to ask her husband to allow her to do some job as she was equally educated and wanted to take her own stand and don't wanted to remain depended but her husband without listening to her and understanding her needs rejected her wish. She wanted to give the remaining amount of dowry to her in-laws by her own earning because she was familiar with the situation of her house, but no body listen her. By the time passed the whole family including her husband started forcing her to ask for the money from her parents but she rejected to do so and the result was that after some day violence against her started in the home and her in-laws told her to go back to her father's house if she cannot bring money from them. As Meena was educated and aware of the consequences of dowry system she packed up her bags and decided to return back to her house and take divorce from her husband. And while returning to her house on the way she filed a case of violence and dowry against her husband's family in near by police station. When she returned back to her house her parents were shocked and surprised to see her condition, no. of marks on her face and body and when they asked her for the reason she explained everything, including the filing of case against her husband and in-laws and the divorce thing. But her parents were afraid of society, what if everybody comes to know about the condition of their daughter and the case in police station and divorce. And thinking of these things they decided to give some amount of money to Meena's in-laws and told her to patch up with her husband and in-laws and live peacefully with them otherwise the society would not let them live and their younger sisters would not get married. Meena was not ready to go back but for the shake of her family she agreed to go back.

After she went back to in-laws house for sometimes she lived happily but after some days again they started demanding for money. this time condition was more worst than last time as her family got to know about the case was filed by the Meena in police station against them. And this time the revenge resulted to Meena's murder. Yes, after Meena rejected to ask for more money from her parents and also told that she would give divorce to her husband and file dowry case against all of them her in-laws became more strict and confined her to a room and did not gave her anything to eat for so many days and abused her. One day her in-laws burned her alive and killed her and by  bribing some amount of money to the police inspector they shut down the matter and case too.  And the violence ended with her life. Her parents was left with the tears in their eyes and went in the court and still fighting for their daughter but there in no hope for the justice because they are poor.

 So, by the story i just want to say, why people are so much worried about the society and because of that after knowing the consequences also don't respect their own emotions. Society was meant to share our pain and sorrow to along with our happiness but its just opposite to it. When ever you are happy,smiling and living your life smoothly, the so called  society will have problem with that and they will always point out your happiness and destroy it but when you shade your tears none of them comes to wipe your tears instead laugh at your condition. Same happened in the story when Meena was happily living with her family society always pointed her and when she was in trouble did anyone of them came to solve her problem...??? The problem is that the society don't let women use their education and rights properly and this is a very big reason behind the occurrence of violence against women. People please understand and respect the feelings of women, let them also speak and help them fight for their rights and help them fly high their dreams, don't kill their dreams.

               Indian Future On Street 

Children are the future of the country and what happens to our children today determines what happens to our country tomorrow.  There are many quotes as such have been made by the people for prevention of child labour in India but all of no use. Sometimes the situation here force me to rethink, whether child labour is really a punishable crime. Around 12 million children are engaged in some hazardous occupation on part or full time basis in India. Child labour not only deprives them from their childhood and education but also are harmful to their physical and mental development. Most of the children involved in child labour are aged 4-15 years old. At the age when there should be book and copies in their hands and school bags on their back, they are carrying bags of dirt on their back. Children often remain unpaid for their work and work under dangerous condition which is totally illegal in India. Children are being exploited every moment and beaten up sometimes by their master for a silly mistake in their work. Children work in firework manufacture industry, coal mines etc., where they are always in a worse condition and anything can happen to their life anytime. 

Child labour is getting terrible time to time. Instead of decrease in number it is increasing day by day. Last month 20 cases of child labour was found. Many small girl child are forced into sex trafficking in a very small age. It is stated that 22,000 children die because of the accident occurred in the work place. They also face cruelty, beating, violence, humiliation and sexual abuse from the employers and many other kind of brutality. 

The main reason behind their condition is poverty,unemployment, lack of proper education, social apathy and tolerance of child labour. Government is not at all serious about these issues, beside various child labour acts, laws and many NGOs working on the issue, still it has not been controlled instead its growing day by day. Every kind of data is being send to the government every year, is government unknown to these facts or have just closed their eyes for these poor child. Only giving some charity in not enough for them, they something more than charity thing. Government needs to put more effort to control child labour by providing them proper access to schools, education. Impossible is nothing and together we can do it, so lets do it.

             LET'S TRIGGER THE BREAST                                          CANCER

Cancer has been hitting the whole world since very long time but still no proper vaccination or cure has been commenced yet by the scientists. Cancer are of many types such as blood cancer, lung cancer, thyroid cancer, breast cancer etc.

Breast cancer is a kind of cancer originated from breast cells.It is the most common invasive cancer in females worldwide. It is reported for 16% of all female cancers and 22.9% of invasive cancers in women. 18.2% of all cancer deaths worldwide including both male and female, are from breast cancer.According to the NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE 232,340 female breast cancers and 2,240 male breast cancers are reported in the USA every year, as well as about 39,620 death caused by the disease(as per Medical News Today report).
 
India is facing a growing breast cancer epidemic. A new global study has estimated that by 2030, the number of new cases of breast cancer in India will increase to around 200,000 per year from current 115,000. According to Globocan data India is on top of the list, 1.85 million years of healthy life lost due to breast cancer. Recently it has been reported that Bangalore has become the breast cancer capital of India with 36.6 new cases for every 1 lakh population(according to PBCR report). The survey among 11 major cities in India has rated pune with least number of  breast cancer cases that is 23.3 of very lakh, Thiruvananthapuram has the second highest incidence with 35.1 cases per lakh and chennai with 32.6 cases.

According to doctors and experts the urbanization is the main reason behind increased cases of breast cancer, as it has changed the lifestyle of the people and the effects are visible. Earlier while the normal age of contracting breast cancer anywhere was between 45 and 55 years a decade ago, but now it has rang-up to 35-45, even a 18 years old girl can be found with breast cancer. According to a lady doctors, late marriage, fewer children and declining trend of breast feeding are some factors, as scientific study says that, breast feeding and pregnancy keep breast cancer defensive. Smoking, alcohol and hereditary factors are also responsible for breast cancer. Experts also blame easy availability of contraceptive peels for cause of breast cancer as all these pills are hormonal pills that should be taken under he guidance of doctor, but women now a days simply pop these pills specially in metropolitan cities.Changing food habits and lifestyle in cities have also increased the reproductive period in women's lifetime, making them more exposed to reproductive hormones and thus, breast cancer. According to a lady doctor 'The age of menstruation has come down and that of menopause has gone up, stretching the reproductive period."

The most important thing is that women needs to be aware of the symptoms of the breast cancer. In rural areas most women suffer breast cancer just because they are not aware of such things or don't have access to hospitals thus, they go for check-up only when it is out of control and at the last stage of cancer it is quiet impossible to save them.  Experts says breast cancer is curable if detected earlier. So, doctors suggests that women should get checked up right from the age of 20 on wards, as now-a-days air pollution has increased to its verge extinct and therefore any women or girl of any age can suffer from the breast cancer. Most of the cancer like lung cancer is also caused because of pollution. Only awareness and timely  check up can save women from this deadly disease so women keep yourself alert and safe.

           Sense Of Individualism In Indians

India is always known for its diverse  culture and unity in diversity, but now-a-days it seems like diversity still remains but unity is getting vanished. Diversity for sure will remain in Indian culture because its a country where at every another step language, lifestyle, culture, behavior, thinking, attire, etc., of the people changes but what about the unity...???

Earlier there was a time when Gandhiji started "Dandi March" against British in which every culture, religion, thinking, behavior came together and supported Gandhiji in his protest and result was that now we are free from the British rule, and that was only possible because there was unity among Indian people and there was no sense of individualism. Had people like Gandhiji , Subhash Chandra Bose, Bhagat singh would have thought of themselves, their security and comfort, still we would have been living under the British rule. At that time there was sense and feeling of nationality among people in India. There was a respect for the national anthem and national song, but today 80% people even don't remember their national anthem or song and rest of 20% remain confused whether that is national song or anthem.

While Anna Hazare's Anti Corruption Movement, the whole country was burning with him. Almost in every parts of India their Supporters were doing candle march and protests, specially in northern parts of India. In Delhi only on one call of Hazare all the people , even the working people came forward in his support. at that time it was anticipated that it would bring some changes and was a very good example of unity but very soon everything vanished, because people now-a-days are very impatient and changes takes its time to come into existence. For one or two days people stood up for the protest but again they decided to go with their own belief and thinking, that nothing is going to change so why should they waste their time? They are happy in their life with a good job, handsome salary, good lifestyle so thought better to stay away from all those matter.

Recently in Egypt, people's anger and unity led to huge change in the government and administration there. People were fed up of the government  there and all of them came across and the power of their unity forced the government there to be changed. If it could happen in Egypt them why not India, the answer is very simple, because people here are used to everything and everyone has a common thinking that why me..?? let others do first, then i'll come from back. And the same thinking of every people here never let them come forward.
