Child marriage memes and Rajasthan are linearly correlated. Seems like those memes have inspired the Gahlot government.                                       Earlier, laws ensured up to 2 years of jail to parents who married their daughter before she turned 18 or son before he turned 21 . People would therefore stay in constant fear of getting caught and jailed, and fined. It did curb child marriages to some extent if not all. Even if some took place covertly, they'd wait for the kids to attain majority and then apply for marriage registration. Whereas now, the couple will just need to go to the marriage registration officer of their area, catch him in a good mood, get their child marriage certified, and live happily ever after...until a dowry case is filed!                                       The...

India is a democratic country. We have enjoyed and harnessed several of its democratic features throughout our lives. But we can all agree that there is one idiosyncrasy missing in the 21st century . The very essence of democracy that 'the government elected by the people is answerable to them' seems to exist no more. From 2004 to 2014, we had a prime minister adorably labelled as the majority's  'mute PM.'  He seemed to bite his tongue on many grave matters. Consequently, our people lost their belief in their leader, and the result was evidently devastating for Congress. Miraculously, we saw hope in Modi Ji , the guy who would speak up for everything, talk about all the good things the citizens wanted to hear. We finally had a leader who spoke, voiced our needs, responded to our queries, travelled the world, and told us what India was and where it deserved to stand in the global picture. But seemingly, it was all a bare-faced lie. We all became devotees of a polit...

What is the topmost acting industry in India? Bollywood? Do you mind giving a second thought to if Bollywood is the only answer? I say there are two more - One, Politics with its top-notch actors, with their eclectic yet unique acting skills, crisp plots, and unanticipated plot twists who’d certainly leave behind the greats like Leonardo DiCaprio, Johnny Depp, and Tom cruise. But why waste your precious time on another piece of article on politics? We have a second brand new acting industry emerging, but there is a catch. Its acting is worse than that in a B grade south industry movie. It is none other than our honourable Media. Hoping that I need not explain what the media is, I am going to skip the definition and save you busy souls another 30 seconds which will be priceless while submitting your assignments before 11:59 tonight! Let me tell you what the Indian media has become. Media is like those strip models who dance naked in the laps of those who have money, power or influence ...

While having dinner with Papa last night,  the conversation turned to how a lot of our poor acquaintances are marrying their children during this lockdown to escape the enormous Indian wedding expenses. It’s simple and economic for the bridegroom to go to the bride’s house with 2 people, perform important rituals, and come back home without violating Section 144 . Then, a benefit to the newlyweds is the absence of annoying people and ceremonies to thwart their first night 😉. Although it is a financially prudent decision, those poor have to suffer uncountable taunts for their stinginess and reclusiveness.  Many BHUAJI’S are upset as they are missing out on large numbers of sarees and enormous sums of ‘ shagun ' cash. As Papa is, he never stays behind in making a remark. “This ‘5 men rule’ is good not only for those who can’t afford inviting relatives but also for those who don’t want to.” He said. Puzzled, I asked, “C’mon, who doesn’t want to invite relatives t...

Hello everyone… We are amid the most fatal pandemic of this century which has literally given us ‘ a month of Sundays '. The death toll indicates an affectionate inclination of the coronavirus towards old people. Yet with this lockdown extending to infinity and our patience dwindling to a trickle, I fear we youngsters are more prone to being hospitalized than our grandparents are. Some day soon, out of impatience and frustration, our brains might cease to work and some adorable cuss words will escape our lips. We’ll be bludgeoned by our parents inside our homes instead of the police outside. (“Mere muh se nikal gayi, meri zabaan tuut gayi, Pappa” won’t be able to save our ass😜) News update: 24k corona positives, 1000k ‘sooja pichhwada' positives in India! In spite of such life-threatening risks, the home feels like the safest place in the world (c’mon, stop imagining  Hogwarts and Berlin Bunker 😒) during a state of turmoil even when it may not be. Home is the perfect...

Emotions make humans very unique and distinct as a species in this world full of life forms. So let’s talk about emotions today. Which one comes to your mind? Love? Naah …... aren’t we too young and naïve for such an extensive topic? Anger? No …… too intense. Pride? …… too fragile. Excitement? Surprise? ….. too ostensible Fear? …… Haven’t we talked about it already? Contempt? Disgust? …… too hateful. We are already said to be an intolerant nation. No risks! Sadness? …… too TIK-TOK-Y. ❤️ What next then? Looks like I am drained out of ideas and you are now in a thought process. Good, I want that. I like build-up like every South-Indian actor's entry scene 😎😎 . Are you curious about the topic? Why not talk about curiosity then? Now, most of you will certainly Google whether curiosity is an emotion. No, it isn’t. All those poetic lines with a hell lot of question marks merely to 1. show-off my vocabulary and 2. give a dramatic effect to an average topic? Yes! 😜...
