Out and Proud

So finally the one month where everyone tries to become the figure of equality among their friends or their "social circle" has arrived. Its the PRIDE month. I am happy that we have such a month once in an year when those belonging to the LGBTQ+ community get recognized or get equal rights etc.. And the most interesting fact- The entire society steps up for these people. Its feels as if I have seen a thousand Instagram stories on this issue, even though it's just the second day of the month and I am actually very happy about them.

But the question is when will we practice what we preach? Like you can tell me I am wrong only if you haven't seen transgender people on the traffic lights, only if you haven't seen the society criticizing such people, only if you haven't seen the family members of these people give up on them and only if you haven't even jokingly given various names to such people. I mean we live in the 21st century and even an infant now has an Instagram handle. And the irony? People who mockingly criticize the LGBTQ+ community are putting up stories saying "LOVE is LOVE is LOVE". Those people where are you during the rest of the 11 months? Wait let me guess! You are in your homes, sitting comfortably on your sofas and criticizing people who dare to come out with their real sexuality and likeness in the public in one way or the other? I mean mocking such people doesn't make you cool.

And those showing their support only on social media. People it's good to show your support but why you just putting up stories? Like this wont help them anyways because they won't get what they want because XYZ person put up a story asking the same. You have an option to participate in their marches, work with NGOs or better collect donations for them. And now I know what most of you would say. "IT'S PANDEMIC GOING ON!". Dude I mean where does the pandemic go when you guys are planning trips with your family? Where does the pandemic go when you are partying with your friends? Where does the pandemic go when you carelessly come out of your homes? STOP USING PANDEMIC AS PER YOUR OWN CONVENIENCE. Putting up stories just for the sake of it doesn't make you look a social activist. Fingers which are running on mobile phones can be put to a better use by actually doing something that makes a difference.

You know what our problem is? We have spoilt the entire purpose of having a separate month only for LGTBQ+ community. What we need to realize is that they don't want to live like victims. They want to live like everyone else. They want to be accepted and they demand nothing else.

DO WHAT ACTUALLY MATTERS. MAKE THE RIGHT CALL.

SCB- India's Best Kept Secret?

Image
 We all know about Subhash Chandra Bose right? One thing about this famous Indian patriot is that his death has always been a very intriguing thing for our fellow countrymen. I researched for about 6 months in this context and came across certain theories which can be very much true. Now in the government documents it is shown that Bose died on 18th August 1945 in Taiwan in a plane crash. The reason for his death being third degree burns.Up until today Bose's ashes are kept in Japan. Now the real conspiracy starts from this point. A few years later than Bose's demise, the Indian men wanted the ashes of their great freedom fighter to be brought back and cremated according to the Indian norms in the holy river of Ganga. At first the government was quite resistant but proving what they ruled out in the documents was true, they agreed to the demand of the countrymen. Then one day without any prior information it was announced that Bose's ashes were brought back and cremated in ...

Gen Z: The everyday changing youth?

 So this blog is gonna be a bit analytical, analyzing the various influences on the current generation, or so to say the Gen Z. This very dynamic globe has already left its impact on the earlier generations, in one way or the other. It made some people believe in themselves while the others were on the other side of the coin. And now it is our generation on the radar of this unstoppable cycle of change. Surely, it 2ont be wrong to call our generation a mob of  'most confused newbies' in this big blue world. On one day we want to be independent in every form possible and on the other days we find our happiness in other people/things/animals etc. . On one hand this generation boasts about the way they value their lives and on the end the suicide rates among them is constantly rising. According to a study conducted by the NDTV in the year 2018, 3 out of every 10 students are of the mindset or on the verge to end their lives over some petty subjects like peer pressure. Talking abo...

Narendra Modi: The man who predicted the future?

 So all of us remember the spine-chilling February of 2020 right? All of us remember the Delhi riots and the endless bloodshed right? But the question do you remember the spark that ignited such horrendous cycle of events? Well if you don't, I'll tell you. It all began on 10th January 2020 when the CAA bill came into force. That was the time which marked the beginning of a chronological pattern of crimes which are better to be forgot than remembered. It totally revolutionized the Indian demography forever. And coincidentally , that was the time when India was ruled by a leader who was earlier involved, or thought to be involved in the Gujarat riots in 2002. Narendra Modi represented India intercontinentally in 2019. When this act came into force and after 1000s of people lost their possessions, the BJP was highly criticized by the majority. Not only the opposition but people from every strata of society passed their judgements on the NDA government.  But the recent course of a...
