Slutwalk (Besharmi Morcha)-Kolkata: Vulgar or Congruous

 “Slutwalk” – It is a worldwide protest against the harassment that women face on the street on a daily-basis. It is the outcry against damaging stereotype and sexual violence against women. It all began with a statement of police officer in Toronto, Canada, April 2011, saying “women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimized”. The angry women and men too come out to the street to protest against men’s filthy mentality. Thus began Slutwalk, the movement jumped borders and oceans, with similar marches being held in the US, UK, Australia and Africa. And now “global India” is joining hand as well!

After Delhites and bhopalies, it’s high time for Kolkatans to come out for “slutwalk” on 24^th may.   Although, my ordinary mind couldn’t understand the purpose and relevance of slutwalk in India but women safety and rights in India is always a ponderable question for me.  

Is skimpy clothes of gals or women articulate the message to rape her? If yes, then how will we justify the rape of 3 month’s infant? If some psycho says that provoking cloths stimulate him to rape or molest a girl then how will we react if someone says,” Her perfume was incredibly provoking that’s why I raped her “! The message is whatever cloths women wear, however slutty it is, it shouldn’t be thought as an invitation to rape her.

I have a facile doubt, is it relevant in context of India where we have cities which are demographically very diverse, in our cities we have people from villages and small towns probably who have never seen women in short-skirt.  But in the era of capitalism, elite Indians never care these people.

These slutwalk is a felicitous example of women empowerment in India. In last 10 year, Indian women have empowered not only economically but socially and politically as well. I still remember last decade mindset when Arundhati Roy has been trailed by Supreme Court since one year for her controversial writing about women sexual independence. After winning the Booker award, she was called as “Hooker won Booker”. And since then women have empowered herself to organize slutwalk.

It’s my humble request to all join Slutwalk-kolkata on 24^th of May. 

Dark and Dirty secrets of women: Episode 1

It was Alka on other side of phone. ‘Hi cutie pie, I have a blissful news for you’, she verbalized. ‘What happened darling, depleted with my girlfriend search, have you?’ I quipped. ‘This news is more captivating than your girlfriend search’, she uttered. ‘Then what, you had sex with your boyfriend’, I spoofed. ‘Why you always add extraneous sexual comments during our conversation?’ she said annoyingly. I replied. ‘It makes me feel virile and non-gay and also sex fascinates humankind doesn’t it?’ ‘Whatever but the good news is that we got our first fund for “JAGRAN”’, she said vivaciously. After hearing this I almost jumped off my bed and told her ‘What, how! You must be kidding’. JAGRAN is our social enterprise for rural area’s school student.

‘Finally you cracked it, you are such a darling, definitely you wore short skirt at the time of JAGRAN’s promotion presentation’, I babbled. ‘Nah nah I had put my jeans on but my sleeveless top was low-cut’, she said coquettishly. I can almost see her winking from the other side of the phone. After a long discussion on JAGRAN’s mode of operation, I asked her, ‘may I ask couple of question about women’s behavior’. ‘Ah! What happened to you my baby, suddenly interested in women! Dear we have many economic and political topic left to discuss’, she flouted. ‘Baby, I am serious’, I said. ‘Ok ok, dear don’t pester me, and tell me your concern please’ she murmured.

“Sometimes, my female friends behave queer without any reason. Why they do so?”

 ‘Hmm nice observation dear but it doesn’t apply on me. Anyway, it’s just one of those things that we girls periodically go through when for no reason we hate everything and everyone around us except our girlfriends and chocolate’, she said smartly.

“Why you girls are so obsessed with voluptuous dance. Is it an alternative of porn?”

“What do you guys think, can’t we have a dark and dirty side? Actually, gals have more delectably naughty side but they just learned to hide it, hone it and keep it as deep of a secret as possible. Yes, we treat dance as an alternative of porn but not for us for you guys. The dance bars is of course, the common man’s version of entertainment. We don’t want to let you go near “Umraojaan” or “Anarkali”, so we gal learn dance. Dancing is a vertical expression of a horizontal intention. It all boils down to sex.”
I will look on your further query but give me some time. I need to take a bath and after that I am all yours’, she said sweetly.

Futile Education System: Time to Change

Everybody is talking about primary education. Indian Government spends 60% of education budget on primary education only, I acquiesce this. Primary education has to be improved because it is the backbone of country. Our HRD ministry, educationalists and researchers are putting their hyper active brain on the issue “How to improve primary education system” but I have simple doubt how they will deal with debris and dross man force which they are creating during their experimentation.


Fortunately, I have studied in one of the premier schools of the country till class X, so I was able to access excellent library facilities. I used these facilities and fell in love with Hindi literature and economics. I wanted to marry my love but my father abhors the idea of studying Arts subject. According to him only second division pass students study Arts subject and he is right as well in reference of north Indian small town. It was not his fault to abstain me studying Arts subject, it was system and government policies which nagged him to impede me going with my interest.

Unfortunately, I was the 11^th ranker of Jharkhand Board senior secondary examination in 2005 and I scored 100 marks in mathematics so I was compelled to prepare for IIT-JEE. I did that and cleared JEE and joined country’s premier science institute IISER-KOlKATA. After studying four year in this institution I am not fascinated with electron spin, Ant’s motion, Dog’s behavior, Quantum dot, Real Analysis and my trifling terms, so my teacher consider me as an average student and my classmates snub me.

In this situation, how humiliated I feel no one can imagine. All my prizes which I have won in sundry literary events seem to be vain.  In spite of immense zest and zeal I feel futile because I don’t have perfect platform to use my zeal for the betterment of society. It’s not only me! There are millions who are fighting with their shatter dreams because of pernicious education system. I don’t know who is responsible for this but it has to be improved and this is the time to change........

IISER Does Matter!

It was muggy afternoon in Kolkata and I was waiting for my friends jay and vikas in Park Street. 
 Park Street is most perky place in Kolkata where you can discern newly arrived expensive cars and latest Bollywood fashion due to mushrooming of food-joints and dichotic. ‘It’s better to grab some KFC Grilled chicken than to wait under scorching sunlight’, I thought and I went inside Park Street’s KFC. I took corner table because I wanted to catch sight of street. 
 I am a KFC freak, especially spicy Grilled chicken maniac so I went to counter to order some more. On my way back, I saw a hot lass with luscious lips and alluring eyes was standing near my table. Her figure-hugging red top and skin-fit black jeans were flaunting her flat stomach and gorgeous legs. Her frizzy brown hair was neatly tied in a ponytail behind her back which was barely reaching her shoulders. I came at my table and said,” Excuse me, I am already here can you sit on some other table”? She simpers and glances around but all tables were occupied so she asked coquettishly, “Can I share your table for few minute”. I said, “ya sure, it’s my pleasure”. Although I feel distressing in front of classy and comely girls but I want to sit with them. I had no idea what I should say at that moment but I collect my courage and said your fish shaped earing is mind-blowing. Is it she said and asked,” What you do”? I feel vulnerable when someone asked this question still I answered,” I study in IISER-Kolkata. She frowned and fires a lot of queer questions like what is this, where is it and many more. After my irrational answer finally she asked,” How is it different from BSc. ”IISER’s course structure is different and it teaches integrated approach of science”, I said. “Can you explain integrated approach with some example”, she said. 


 In BSc. Exam Question comes….. 


What is your name? (10 Marks) But In IISER’s exam Question comes….

What is your name? Design a control experiment which can prove ‘your name’? Write Hamiltonian for your name and deduce ɸ function for it. Write a chemical reaction which will give ‘your name’ in one step. Integrate ‘your name’ with the help of contour integration. Write a python program which will give number of vowels and consonants in ‘your name’. Prove ‘your name’ is known from Precambrian era. (0.25 + 0.5 +0.5 +0.5 +1 +0.5 +0.25 Marks). 


 After hearing all this jargon she didn’t ask a single question about IISER but we discussed another 15-20 minute about Humid Kolkata. She was ready to leave so I spell out my number avoiding the probability of being embarrassed, alas! she still left me in awe and a bit of embarrassment……all i can recollect is the cute wink and her heart shattering words “ Am poor in science and by choice”. Thus ladies and gentlemen, was discovered “THE IISER EFFECT”.

Leading Rape newspaper TOI

I am avid reader of Times of India since my 1st year of college life, sometimes I don’t pick my girlfriend’s call while reading a Chetan Bhagat article in the editorial page of TOI. Even the first application Installed on my newly brought feature rich Samsung Android phone was TOI. Though I don’t like Kolkata based obese and dusky model, still I glance Kolkata Times every day. So there news contents and correspondence are proverbial for me at least for Kolkata issue. I didn’t abdicate my faith on TOI even after losing the battle of filthy brand war with Hindu. 
It is a misanthropic statement but someone has to say that TOI has become rape newspaper. I have been seeing rape news on the front page of TOI since last 10-12 days. Now police are able to crack 7-8 months old rape cases. There are various explanations for this but the simple one which come in my mind is one high profile rape case. Why do media, police and government awake up when high profile comes? Why do we middle class have to wait always almost for everything? I couldn’t answer these questions but I need answers. 
According to NCRB (National Crime Records Bureau) the crime rate of rape has been decreased by 10 % compare to last 2 year but TOI is unearthing it like only rape is occurring around us. There are reasons why I am writing all this bullshit, our hostel groovy gossips has inclined on rape cases. Some of my friends are researching on different methods of rape, after research they come up with new idea of rape. It is unintendedly influencing our acumen. 
Please don’t subjugate yourself on the basis of ungrounded argument ‘freedom of press’. Actually, the constitution of India does not specifically mention the freedom of press. Freedom of press is implied from the Article 19(1)(a) of the Constitution. But there are some restrictions that are provide under the Article 19(2) of the Constitution. But editor sir had forgotten article 19(2) in the era of commercialization. Please put some respect at least for constitution of India.

LUST is pure not LOVE!

Last week, I was feeling little dismal so I decided to call my friend Alka. I called her but she didn’t pick up as usual and she called me back after 10 minute as usual. I didn’t ask about call because I knew she will explain it in nitty-gritty form. I asked casually to just start the conversation, “How was your Valentine day”. It’s a standard question which I ask to every girl in expectation of some kooky answer. But her answer compelled my inside to ponder over guy’s mentality and real meaning of ‘I love you’. “Ah! Valentine’s Day fever is still on, for god‘s sake please put off this question for next year. I was sick of seeing heart shaped things and red color things everywhere. Even dessert comes in heart shape, brown chocolate become red how commercial! I had stopped reading the newspapers, magazines and even your blog a week before the gush-fest only because commerciality of love. Last year my ex-boyfriend had gifted me heart-shaped mouth freshener then I had said that transfer your head in heart shape. Thank god, Condom companies doesn’t sell condom in heart shape packet. I find this array of love depressing. I abhor the idea that love has to be celebrated on particular day. Seems like farce. In my teenage I didn’t feel same way. Those days’ heart shaped and red color things turned me on and I avidly welcomed these things but now I hate these flaunting” she babbled. “I get it you want to say you have grown up” I quipped to subjugate her. “I know you are thinking I am cynical but actually I am not. I am hostile to the “L” word. I prefer the other L word. L-U-S-T…it’s more pure, isn’t it? Let me explain. When you guys says I love you what it mean. The meaning is simple I want to get into your pants and it is absolutely cool. Lust is lust; it doesn’t disguise itself to make it acceptable. It is pure, unadulterated and can’t be faked like love. Lust has never broken any hearts. It has no side effect except joy” she lashed out. After that I had no guts left to enquire any further on this taboo topic. Then we discussed on Eurozone crisis and at the end she said that “on 14th February I was delivered a bouquet of pink roses. It is the color of friendship, so I am accepting it because no matter what, we shall always remain friends. “Love you, buddy. Vote for me now!
