What is the difference?

So no private lawyer in the whole of India want to defend the six who stand accused in the recent infamous rape and murder of a physiotherapy student, Jyoti Pandey, (christened as “Nirbhaya” @ Braveheart)  in the capital city. Probably they are fearful of the public backlash on their career. The public response towards the sad incident has been anything but civil. Rape which used to be accepted as part of life in many remote areas of the sub-continent with no recourse, is not going to taken lightly any more after the recent turn of events. Gone are the days where the hassle of complain and judgemental attitude of those in power were a deterrent. The new change in social outlook is going to expose the 9/10 of the base of the iceberg (actually 1/6 of iceberg is visible) which had been hidden all this while. A social revolution is set to happen in a country where ladies all this while have been only placed on a pedestal in the temple altars and their mythological literature but not in real life.
On the other side of the world, not necessarily in the Western world, even in our backyard, another kind of humiliation of the female anatomy had been going on in the form of the oldest profession known to mankind and pornography. BBC in 2005 did a 9-episode documentary of the effect of the porn industry and the sad victims and sick people associated with it.
Fernando Valley in Los Angeles, porn city of the world, has many sob stories of young girls from broken families and disturbed personality flocking here for fame and fortune. There was once a HIV epidemic which infected a young aspirant. After an intial scare and damage control, it was soon business as usual. What do you expect from a place where 60 gallons of male ejaculants are wasted in front of the camera annually and a record of 4000 sexual encounters occur daily!
Nobody knows what happened of 
Bambi Woods after the film. She may
have started life anew with a new
identify, putting her past behind.
Another theory is that her body is 
slouched somewhere hidden in
the USA! No one knows her
real name anyway.
What was supposed to be something private between two consenting adults, sometimes after the approval of the Gods, powers that be and the elders is out in the open. This craze to join the bandwagon of exhibitionism had spurred many amateur voyageurs. Partners who want to immortalize their sexual escapades on film call in the ever willing film-makers. Problems come a-knocking when they end their relationship but the reel is still available for viewing by everyone at the click of a button and the World Wide Web! All these impulsive actions will haunt them forever.
Then there are plastic surgeons would abandon their oath to do more harm on dysfunctional unstable individuals with dysmorphic view of their bodies. Lolo Ferarri, a porn star, an obviously disturbed lady had graduated to 54-J status and subsequently succumbed to loss of public attention as her popularity waned.
In spite of porn being a bad word, San Fernando Valley's industry is strictly legal. On one hand, they talk about equal rights but on the other hand, it is abuse and disrespect of the fairer sex too! So, what is the difference?

Gory historic details or gore fest?

Razakar:  The Silent Genocide Of Hyderabad  (Telegu, 2024) Director:  Yata Satyanarayana In her last major speech before her disposition, Sheikh Hasina accused those who opposed her rule in Bangladesh of being Razakars. The opposition took offence to this term and soon widespread mob throughout the land. Of course, it is not that that single incident brought down an elected government but a culmination of joblessness and unjust reservations for a select population group. In the Bengali psyche, Razakar is a pejorative term meaning traitor or Judas. It was first used during the 1971 Pakistan Civil War. The paramilitary group who were against the then-East Pakistani leader, Majibur Rehman, were pro-West Pakistan. After establishing independence in Bangladesh, Razakars were disbanded, and many ran off to Pakistan. Around the time of Indian independence, turmoil brewed in the princely state of Hyderabad, which had been a province deputed by the Mughals from 1794. The rule of N...

The products of a romantic star of the yesteryear!

Now you see all the children of Gemini Ganesan (of four wives, at least) posing gleefully for the camera after coming from different corners of the world to see the ailing father on his deathbed. They seem to found peace with the contributor of their half of their 46 chromosomes. Sure, growing up must have been hell seeing their respective mothers shedding tears, indulgence in unhealthy activities with one of them falling prey to the curse of the black dog, hating the sight of each step sibling, their respective heartaches all because of the evil done by one man who could not put his raging testesterones under check! Perhaps,the flashing lights and his dizzying heights that his career took clouded his judgement. After all, he was only human... Gems of Gemini Ganesan L-R: Dr Revathi Swaminathan, Narayani Ganesan, Dr Kamala Selvaraj, Rekha, Vijaya Chamundeswari   and Dr Jaya Shreedhar.  ( Abs:  Radha Usman Syed, Sathish Kumaar Ganesan) Seeing six of Ge...

Chicken's Invite? (Ajak-ajak ayam)

In the Malay lingo, the phrase 'ajak-ajak ayam' refers to an insincere invitation. Of course, many of us invite for courtesy's sake, but then the invitee may think that the invitation is for real! How does anyone know? Inviters and invitees must be smart enough to take the cue that one party may have gatecrashed with ulterior motives, or the other may not want him to join in the first place! Easily twenty years ago, my family was invited to a toddler's birthday party. As my children were toddlers, too, we were requested to come early so that my kids could run around and play in their big compound. And that the host said she would arrange a series of games for them to enjoy. So there we were in the early evening at a house that resembled very little of one immersed in joy and celebration. Instead, we were greeted by a house devoid of activities and no guests. The host was still out shopping her last-minute list, and her helper was knee-deep in her preparations to ...
