Sharon ko gussa kyun aata hai.. ;-)

So I read this line a few days back which goes something like this "I wish I was as thin as my patience".. This 'inspired/impressed' (for want of a better word) me so much, I put it up as my WhatsApp status for a while.. And for all the people who know me, (friends, acquaintances, colleagues included) you would know that it doesn't take much to ruffle my feathers.. In fact my mum says I will suffer some hypertension soon since I get aangry easily.. In my defence, I'd like to say that I have tried being patient.. Like really.. But somehow I can't find it in me to put up with all this bullshit.. And lots of times sheer stupidity from the other person makes me wanna bang my head somewhere.. Extreme you say? Well.. But what I really do is count from one to ten in my head.. But then sometimes even counting to a hundred is not sufficient to take my mind off the rubbish some people talk.. Anyway this post is not really about what gets my goat, but about some of

Is it really a 'happy' Women's day?

So while all the women around me are taking pride on their being born as a woman, I'm feeling I would've been safer had I been born as a cow.. Because we live in a society where slaughtering cows is a punishable offence, but molesting,sexually assaulting and killing women is cool.. Any attempt at trying to bring to light these injustices against women are swept under the carpet.. I'm talking about the ban on the screening of the controversial documentary which talks about the brutal rape of a girl in a moving bus in Delhi.. Its been over 2 years since that infamous incident but watching this documentary still sent shivers down my spine.. And I found it appalling that the defence lawyers came up with such crass remarks about what women should be and how they should behave.. To both the lawyers.. Please take this personally.. You are assholes and I wish someone took you to their farmhouse and put petrol on you and burnt you alive, along with those people you are defending..
