  • Movies That I Liked.....I watched a Malayalam Movie called'Vastu Hara' in Kairali T.V.yesterday.The story touches about losers who migrate abandoning their personal properties during divison of countries and realtes to the creation of East Pakistan called East Bengal dividing Bengalis .Also running underneath the main issue is the personal loss of property which gets rejected by the Mother in the story who is offered the same back by her Husband's relatives.

A Happy New Year And Afterthoughts.

I am referring to the New Year day episode of molesting two women at Mumbai.I really thought it better not to discuss this topic.But then after reading and watching media reports and T.V. news I feel ,as I am also a woman,let me have my say.

I do not conform to the general comment that women should not venture out to certain types of outings.I really feel only when a woman is used to such outings will she venture out.So here the comment is for having ventured out for a night celebration at clubs etc.Here the women were with escorts,only escorts were manhandled and made effective.This was not expected.I feel that Indian society, meaning here the onlookers were really barbaric and the incident shows, the dirt in the mind of the men who felt bold enough to handle the women.

I hope having said this my advice to such ventures in India ,for women venturing out to any such night time entertainment is that"do so after fully knowing that men are barbaric".

Jayamala.
