Yaadon ka Basera

Wednesday, July 12th, 2006

Humara saath pal bhar ka hi sahi,
par woh pal aise the jaise koi kal nahi
zindagi ki raahon mein shayad na phir milna ho kabhi
Par mehakti rahengi tumhari yaadein mujh mein hamesha hi

Din jo dhal gaye hai yuhi
Raat bhi guzar gayi hai yuhi
Koshishein to bahut ki mere dil ne
Par zubaan pe baat reh gayi woh adhuri

Violence against females, children & elderly and related issues of Mental Health

Friday, July 7th, 2006

“Less visible, but even more widespread, is the legacy of day-to-day, individual suffering. It is the pain of children who are abused by people who should protect them, women injured or humiliated by violent partners, elderly persons maltreated by their caregivers, youths who are bullied by other youths, and people of all ages who inflict violence on themselves. This suffering – and there are many more examples that I could give – is a legacy that reproduces itself, as new generations learn from the violence of generations past, as victims learn from victimizers, and as the social conditions that nurture violence are allowed to continue. No country, no city, no community is immune. But neither are we powerless against it. Violence thrives in the absence of democracy, respect for human rights and good governance.”

- Nelson Mandela (WHO’s World Report on Violence & Health)

Violence and abuse affect all kinds of people every day world over. It doesn’t matter what race or culture you come from, how much money you make, or if you have a disability. It may take the form of physical and emotional abuse, neglect and sexual abuse. Violence against anyone, in any form, is a crime, regardless of who committed the violent act. It is always wrong, whether the abuser is a family member, a current or past spouse, friend, an acquaintance, or a stranger.

Addicted to Shopping

Thursday, July 6th, 2006

If I could have my way, I would wear a new set of clothes every day. I have a neat (read huge) collection but I still insist that I can make room for a few more. And these big malls do nothing but contribute to this misery of mine. :cry:

Despite the fact that I bought 4 suits from Westside last week, today when I entered the same store again, I could eye atleast 3 more that I can buy and still feel I should (and most probably I will !!). :grin:

I have to admit, I am simply addicted to shopping for clothes.
There… I just said it !!

Role of Gender in lives of Adolescents with disability

Thursday, July 6th, 2006

Most Indian women, particularly from poor homes, lead an existence of extreme subordination with very little control over their lives. So women who are disabled not only face the usual gender discrimination but also discrimination due to their disability.

From the research done, it emerged that gender does not take a backseat, even in the lives of adolescents with disability. Boys and girls cope up with usual deep rooted gender stereotypes and prejudices. For most Indian females, opportunities for growth and development are limited and restricted by the fact that they remain ‘protected’ in the parents’ home until they get married after that in their in-laws’ home. Doing household tasks and looking after the family is seen as the foremost duty of a girl. Freedom of movement is too restricted. There is a need to break the shackles for the empowerment of women, including those with disabilities. Empowerment means raising people’s consciousness about the strength within by the way they view themselves and society.
