Any Law to Metamorphose the Psyche?



Even after so much hue and cry made on the recent brutal act in the nation's capital there are people around us who still feel that the real culprit was the woman herself. Heart cries over to learn the extreme narrow mindedness and orthodoxy that are still very much prevalent in the society. Instead of standing up against the humans in disguise, there are a section of people who favors and advocates for defensiveness rather than speaking out or fighting for the equality of the women. In their words what was the need of a "girl" to come out from her confines and go to watch movie with her male friend and that too at night??????????
How to change their rigidity and perception to make them fathom that we are living in the 21st century India where both male and female are coming out of their homes to seek higher education  and then a respectable job. Hence, it's obvious that two normal being can develop a liking for each other and can spend time together. But for these moral police, it's okay if the male member of their house is staying out and having special friend in a female, but they are absolutely intolerant to see the vice versa. Also, their feeling of not to come at night gives the anti- social elements  a boost to perpetrate any kind of unlawful or uncultured act during that time.
Why from the beginning and after every gory incidents like this, police officials advice the public not to get out of their home at night????????? Their statement implicitly states that the roads and localities will not be safe at night giving full confidence to the criminals and offenders to carry on their task 'legally' during dark.

The path is still very grave and heavy with colossal complexities entangling the society. I wish to ask from the law makers and the government do they have any law to straightaway get into the minds of these rigid people to change their psyche and make them come in unison to thrash the demons, instead of preaching the act of defensiveness and escape from gruesome incidents like this and utilize their energy, aggression and knowledge in making the country more safer, calm and compassionate?

The different marks




As a student, I come across variety of emotions and responses Marks spawn in our day to day life. In fact, marks are like a social hierarchy that differentiate the students studying in the same class. Those who score high are looked upon with awe and respect and those who fail to manage good marks are exposed to many turmoil and tribulations. In fact life turns into a hell for those whose every performance is watched, judged and analyzed by the parents at home. For some, marks bring the happiness even M.S. Dhoni’s team can’t match after winning the world cup. For some it’s the lukewarm effect like the public have on the array of promises made by political leaders. And for some, it’s as catastrophic as tsunami.

The reactions and responses of the extremes are things to watch. It’s like ruling the world and losing it respectively. Marks are the culprits which drift the best of friends apart. The equation – foe’s foe happens to be the friend fully applies here. The life becomes painful not only for the poor scorers but also for the toppers. Well, poor’s reason is understandable to everyone. However, the topper’s life isn’t easy at all. It’s this time they learn to become bold, courageous, audacious to face the frustration of their peers who stand against him/her and alleges him/her of using unfair means to top the exam. Here, the best condition is of the mediocre who are neither too stupid nor too intelligent. Their urge is also average and these are the students who when grow produce the middle class family- the best in the society and in the majority.
Marks also act as a major factor in choosing a boyfriend or girlfriend. Good marks draw huge appreciation from every front, no matter what the person actually is and poor marks isolate the person from mainstream making him inculcate inferiority complex.

Thus, there are so many outcomes of scoring good as well as poor marks. I feel every student can relate it with themselves, no matter which country they belong to.  It’s because students everywhere are the same and so are their pains.  In fact, it’s the universal pain.
