THE Unlucky Charm!!!







I am writing this blog after couple of months... Though I was very keen on writing this, but did not find personal time to put it in words, though thoughts were passing in my mind every now and then...

This post suits the title very much "The Unlucky Charm". I am referring Unlucky charm to all the little innocent beautiful girls in their hearts who had lots of dreams aspirations and plenty of life to lead, but little did not know what LIFE had to offer.

Friends have you ever gave a thought about how girl babies, a teenage girl, a young lady, women have been treated in this country? Never, who even cares, where do we have time for all this. Some or the other news channel may flash news about one or other incident and at the same speed even we will forget the incidents.

Only in Books, or for the sake of speech, we refer our country to Motherland or Bharat Mata, but do we literally mean that??? Do we really respect her??

with a series of incidents happened in the recent past, had left a painful thought in my mind and the same made to pen this blog.


Let me explain you the 5 important stages of Girls Life ...

Stage 1. The moment a women is a pregnant  her husband and in-laws will be waiting to know whether its a boy a girl. They may bribe the doctor or nurse at he hospital to know the fetus. If its a boy, lucky enough, no end to their happiness, and royal treatment to their wife/daughter-in-law. If its a girl, immediate  command to doctor to abort without even taking the pregnant women consent. If the girl is lucky enough, she will pass the stage 1.

Stage 2. Like any other kid, she will also be pampered and attracted by many, but not all them will show real love to her, Some of them are beast/demon to the little girl. They treat her in a pray - predator relationship. Many incidents have reported that 3-4 years girls have been raped by her own Father/Uncle/or by some men. Again if she is lucky enough she passes stage 2.

Stage 3. School going kid, We hear many news that news that she was harassed torchered/made her stripped by the class teacher or by some teenage guys.

A recent incident that took place on August 16th in Bangalore. An 11-year-old girl was allegedly set ablaze by miscreants at Pinaganahalli, Bangalore. Three miscreants poured kerosene on Kavitha and set her on fire, a class V girl, when she was on her way to the school. Kavitha was accompanied by her younger sister, Kavya. The fifth standard girl suffered 95 per cent burns,breathed her last at the Victoria Hospital.


Stage 4: College Student, very crucial stage in a girls life.

This phase of life is a time for all the experiments, bunking classes, hitting pubs, weekend parties, get to gether everything will be good, when we know who to trust and stay within our limitations. But the strange fact is some guys would be waiting for this opportunity to fulfill their desires and poor girl will be easily targeted.

A classic example of this. A man has been arrested for gang raping a college student along with three more persons after taking the victim to Alwar in Rajasthan, The victim is a BA second year student and a resident of Gurgaon. She was taken to Alwar on August 3 and gang raped for several days, police said. “Main accused Rahul, was arrested. He abducted her on the pretext of offering her a lift on August 3 after her college and took her to Alwar, where other miscreants joined him in the act.

Stage 5. A complete Women/House Wife/Working Women. Need less to say about similar stories. there are rapes cases reported from all parts of the country.

In terms of shocking numbers, 14 rape cases reported in one Month (October 2012 report) in Haryana Alone. The more worst part is the statement given by the chief minister "that women must be married off early (by the time they are 16 to be exact) to prevent rape." Action take, some of them are arrested, some absconding. The arrested will be released on bail and the news will be buried. The Target continues...

Don't be surprised, if you switch on the TV and another rape issue has been reported..


Now lets move onto our neighboring country and share you a very interesting, inspiring story for all the mankind,

Malala Yousafzai, 14 year old was shot on the head and neck for promoting girl education in Pakistan.



Their story began in 2009, when Fazlullah (Taliban member), took over Swat Valley in pakistan, and ordered the closure of girls’ schools, including Yousufzai’s. Outraged, the then-11-year-old kept a blog for the BBC under a pen name and later launched a campaign for girls’ education. It won her Pakistan’s highest civilian honor and death threats from the Taliban.

The Brave girl was not blind to the dangers.She started promoting girl education in the province and decided to spread across the country. Malala Yousufzai continued speaking out despite the danger. As her fame grew, Fazlullah tried everything he could to silence her. The Taliban published death threats in the newspapers and slipped them under her door. But she ignored them. “She would frequently say ’I am satisfied. I am doing good work for my people so nobody can do anything to me’.”


But on 9th Oct 2012, The two Taliban men stopped the bus she was riding home in. They asked for Yousufzai by name. Although the frightened girls said she wasn’t there, the men fired at her and also hit two other girls in the van. One of them remains in critical condition.


Later Malala was shifted to Army Hospital, were the doctors have removed the bullet, but she is still unconscious  battling for her Life..

Awards and Recognition's,

2011, International Children's Peace Prize. The Dutch international children's advocacy group KidsRights Foundation included Yousafzai as one of five nominees worldwide for the prize, the first Pakistani girl ever nominated for the award. She was the runner-up.


19 December 2011,Pakistan’s National Peace Prize. Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani awarded Yousafzai with Pakistan's first National Peace Prize for those under 18 years old — subsequently renamed the National Malala Peace Prize.[6] Speaking to the media after attending the proceedings, Yousafzai expressed her wish to form her own political party comprising people working for the cause of education, saying “my party will operate in all four provinces.” On Yousafzai’s request, the prime minister directed the authorities to set up an IT campus in the Swat Degree College for Women.

3 January 2012. The Government Girls Secondary School, Mission Road, was renamed Malala Yousufzai Government Girls Secondary School in her honour.

Lets pray for the speedy recovery of this brave girl..


In between all these struggles, women prove that they are equal to men in all the fields and master the art in their respective fields.

Imagine if all those innocent girls would not have killed, we would have seen them as Kiran bedi, Sudha Narayan Murthy. kalpana Chaula, Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw or saina nehwal.


I wrote this blog not to disturb you, but to provoke some positive thoughts against these barbaric acts.

Hoping to see more such Malala's in every region of our country who standup for the women empowerment for the rights of girls.
