Questions to ponder

Thought Pieces

1. Role Models and Youth

Youth are increasingly idolizing film stars and cricket stars for the glitz and glamour in their world. Do you think celebrities like Yo Yo Honey Singh and Sunny Leone are good role models? Are the youth idolizing and following their mannerisms and probably also their footsteps?

2. Reality Shows vs. Reality

Reality shows are taking us away from reality. They focus more on drama, verbal abuse, and physical abuse than reality. What are your thoughts on shows like Splitsvilla, Roadies, and Khatron Ke Khiladi? Do you think they are pushing the acceptable limits in society?

3. Nuclear Families and Rebellious Children

With the increase of nuclear families, children are becoming more rebellious. Depending on grandparents and aunts for vacations and summer camps has reduced, as the internet occupies most of their time. In this case, can we really visualize a humanitarian society?

4. Changing Social Norms

In a globalized world and a fast-developing country like India, same-sex marriages, living-in relationships, and sex before marriage are still taboos. With India being the second most populous country in the world, do you think it's time to discard old school values, or is it a form of preserving culture?

5. Modern Parents and Burden on Children

Are modern parents overburdening their children with expectations, or are they just preparing their kids for the competitive world? Where 92% is a shame for the family, is education their children's ranks, marks, and seats the only pride for parents?

6. Self-defense and Value Education in Schools

Should self-defense be made compulsory in all schools and colleges for both boys and girls and be credited in the curriculum? Also, should value education be made compulsory to promote sensitivity in students?

7. The Debate on Sex Education

The ongoing debate on sex education in schools and colleges is a raging topic. Do you think it is essential, or is it just going to deviate students from studies, etc.?

8. Indian Temples and Sculptures

What are your thoughts on the sculptures on Indian temples? Do you think they disregard Indian culture and chastity, or do they promote heritage? Should sculptures depicting homosexuality, bestiality, etc., be erased or restricted for children under 18?

Onions are just the beginning

In the modern age, where progress and enlightenment are celebrated, it's disheartening to witness the persistent struggles faced by women. A recent incident on television, as I was channel surfing, left me questioning the plight of women in our society. I stumbled upon a scene of a saas (mother-in-law) berating her bahuraani (daughter-in-law) for a seemingly trivial act - adding onions to a curry. The young woman, in her delicate saree, wept profusely, her tears tarnishing the beauty of her jewel-studded attire. Why does such injustice persist? This portrayal on television, while seemingly dramatic, reflects the bitter reality of many women's lives. The issue of dowry, which may not have been about onions in this case, has been a longstanding menace. Mother-in-laws tormenting their son's wives is not an uncommon story. Countless women face abuse, both emotional and physical, when they fail to meet unreasonable dowry demands set by their husbands' families. Records illus...

The journey of love through the ages

The Journey of Love Through Ages Every one of us at any point in our lives must have wondered, what is love? The real definition may be a mystery or not because science actually doesn't approve or have proof of love, yet people say they have fallen in love. Maybe love is like water. It molds itself to the changing situations. Let us have a look at the journey of love through ages.. Earlier (man) stages: There was nothing called love. Even if there was, it made no sense. People just lived to eat and they satisfied their physical needs with maybe anyone or anything. Later the same time: There may be...was love, but people didn't pay much attention to it. People lived with each other for the sake of living or maybe lived with the person who fetched them food. Last stages of this stage: People had multiple partners so that they had their options open! Especially m...
