Over- Rated Love.

"You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams." ― Dr. Seuss

When you search Google about what is love, you'd find endless number of searches in front of you. Everyone has a different definition to love, it varies from being the most beautiful feeling God has made us sense to the worst feeling ever. It's ironic how love makes you feel so beautiful but pathetic at the same time. Love comes in different forms, love from your family, love from your friends, love from that one person and many more. Many of you who take out the precious time out of your busy life to read my blogs have noticed that most of my blog posts have something related to “prince charming” written in it. For people nowadays, love is when you see this really attractive guy sitting right next to you and he stares at you the whole time. For some other people, love is when a guy constantly talks you, day in and day out and you're just like, he's the "one". 

It's all about the pretty woman and gorgeous boys now. It's all about winning best couple in prom now. People date for popularity.

Dear teenagers, every relationship of yours is not "TRUE" love. Yes, it is true that there is someone out there who thinks you're beautiful and you complete their life, but be patient, when its time it'd happen. It's sickening how every guy you date is your true love and you think that it would last forever but then, boom! He's flirting with your best friend for life or shall I say BFFFFL, behind your back, ouch. 

I have mentioned this before, WHAT IS WITH THE PDAs? Picture this, you guys put up so much PDA on a social networking site and you break up, how's it going to feel looking back at your picture lip locking with him/her? (Getting goose bumps thinking about it.) When you're dating someone you cannot just assume he/she is your life in a day or two days’ time. Lying to your parents for him/her is the worst part of the whole scenario.

I know of people who think its "cool" to have been with ten girls, or to have been with three girls at the same time. (What you tryin' to do boy? Turnin' your swag up another notch? Not happening.) I also know of people who date for three days and it’s officially over and you're just sitting there trying to remember how long had that relationship even lasted for it to end so fast? That's what happens when you just say yes to any Tom, Dick or Harry. Please ladies and gentlemen, calm your hormones (I don't think I can be using gentle there.) And the last type of people, the ones who think they're going to get married to this person after dating them for how long? Two months? Three?

Don't get me started on the breakup; it's like chocolate sauce on top of my chocolate brownie and vanilla ice cream (Not joking here). For the first three months she or he is devdas or Tulsi from kyunki saas bhi kabhi Bahu thi (I just hope there is a Tulsi in that serial...) and after that she or he is "I'm going to party till I drop". They call each other terms like "Playboy" and "Sluts". PLAYBOY IS A MAGAZINE AND A SLUT IS SOMEONE WHO HAS CONSTANT INVOLVEMENT IN SEXUAL ATTRIBUTES. Before using it on each other, GOOGLE IT WILL YOU? The positive part about this kind of relationships is that after the break up you learn how to lift yourself up, you become stronger, you're more cautious.

P.S: This blog does not imply to everyone dating. Not hurting anyone's sentiments here, just blogging my opinions.

Thanks for reading. :D

Damini.

December 16^th, 2012: A young girl raped and beaten up by six animals (No, I am not going to regard them as human beings, they lost that status and dignity ages back.) It was news everywhere. People from all over the world were shocked, but it did not stop there. The shock took over much more effectively when the girl died and no justice being given after over say, twelve days of suffering. Protests took place in parts of India; everyone was infuriated by the conditions of the Indian government.

Indeed, like every other citizen of India, I too am ashamed of what happened in the past few days, but what makes me laugh the most is the mixed reactions of the people. Here’s what happens, a girl got raped, it was news all over the place, at THAT point of time everyone hates the Indian government, hates India, is ashamed of being a citizen of India and so on, but as soon as India wins the match against Pakistan, “Yaay India!”, “Indian and proud” etc. What happened to the hatred towards India this time?

From my point of view, rape cases happen everywhere. There are such people who exist all over the world, who are sadists or who aren’t in the proper sense of mind. It’s all about how the country, the people and the media take it. In some places, this sort of information is censored, it’s not let out, but the government gives punishment immediately, in say about a few days. BUT in some places, the media is just waiting to pounce; it’s just waiting to get some action and Boom! Before you know it, it’s on every news channel, every website, and every news paper. 

There are some people who go completely against the idea of using social media sites to show your interest towards the issue. If you are sitting in one part of the globe and using your social media power to voice your opinions, what is the harm? Why do you have to be so pessimistic, thinking that nothing can happen sitting in one part of the globe and voicing your opinion about some issue happening in other part of the globe? If I am a citizen of the country where the issue is happening and I plan on showing my concern towards the issue, who are you to stop me? If two girls can get arrested for questioning the ‘Bal Thackeray Shutdown’, then I do have a little hope that my message to can be passed on, though it won’t make that much of a difference, at least I can hope for something to get into the minds of the pessimistic people.

To all the people out there, my only question is if these six men were educated, would they have even thought about raping the young girl? Would an educated person do such a thing? Destroying a young girl’s life that way, don’t you think they’d have that much sense in them if they were educated? Every man is born out of a woman; he definitely has a mother, a grandmother and maybe a sister. It’s all about your respect towards the woman race. It’s all about how you were brought up and definitely about how you see things. Your mentality has to be right. “Teach your son how to behave, do not stop your daughter from going out.” And what happened after this entire incident, the protests that took place, everything that the people did, did people stop raping girls? Did the wrong doings stop? No.

I think, Damini has definitely gone to a better place. It was better than staying here. If she survived the memories of the horrible incident would have killed her. She was a fighter.
