VINESH PHOGAT TO MOUMITA DEBNATH

 VINESH PHOGAT TO MOUMITA DEBNATH

______________________________

It is an undeniable fact that women face sexual harassment in the workplace, specifically in male-dominated environments. When Vinesh reported sexual harassment, it required severe and immediate attention from the government. Instead, the government initially went into denial mode rather than acting to address the situation.

Vinesh is genuinely a warrior by every definition. Any ordinary person would have been frustrated after enduring the unfairness she faced during her protests, including being dragged on the streets and humiliated.

____________

No woman would come forward to report sexual harassment for entertainment or personal gain. Vinesh is not seeking attention; she is a champion and fighter who has secured victory for India. A true fighter never gives up, and neither did Vinesh. 

In August, she made a remarkable return to the sport Despite the setbacks in Rio, Tokyo, and on the streets of Delhi.

Vinesh was unstoppable in Paris; she stormed into the final after defeating Pan American Games champion Guzman of Cuba 5-0 in the semi-finals.

______

But fate rechallenged her; this time, the situation was beyond her control; it was not about fighting an outsider but her own body. Vinesh failed to keep her weight below 50 kg on the morning of her final bout. She weighed 50.100kg, just 100 grams above the limit, which led to her disqualification from the event.

 Fate gave Cuban wrestler Guzman a direct entry into the finals, first losing to Vinesh and her spot but getting into the finals because of Vinesh's disqualification. An intertwined fate of these two souls got squared at the Paris Olympics.

Vinesh fought for justice but lost, and her wrestling journey ended bitter. 

__________________

BJP failed in handling the wrestlers' protest; the prime minister should have come down a few steps and sent his female ministers to embrace Vinesh and stand in solidarity with her. Showing empathy when needed the most is very rewarding; people remember the ones who stand with them in their weakest moments, in the moments of self-doubt.

_____________

The BJP underestimated Vinesh Phogat's fighting spirit and couldn't anticipate her near podium finish in Paris. They thought her story was finished, but instead, they created a monster, a determined competitor,  and the enemies of BJP did not leave any stone unturned to fan the fire. As a result, she is now seeking retribution from the BJP.

Imagine Vinesh winning gold in Paris, sending the entire BJP into self-imposed hiatus for the longest time.

When the Haryana elections come, the Prime Minister's advisors will have a lot of damage control to do.

 A wasted opportunity(EGO) for the BJP in the impending battle to win Haryana, Timely compassion and kindness would have changed their image in the eyes of a larger population.

Investors value transparency, and dear BJP, your investors are your voters.

________________

Moumita Debnaths's parents and colleagues also expected the same.

Didi should have sent the likes of Dr Kakoli Gosh Dastidar, an alumnus of RG Kar Medical College, to stand by Moumita's parents and personally oversee the funeral.

Irrespective of who is involved and how damaging it is to the party, Didi should have come forward and expressed complete solidarity support with the victim's family and ensured a safe workplace for all the women at the government hospitals, bringing in some immediate moves by arresting all the suspects. 

_________

She should have repeated how she stood for the Rajeev Kumar IPS in 2019 by doing a sit-in dharna at Esplanade. Before Moumita's parents decide to sit on a dharna for justice ( political opportunists from all sides are sensing a prospect in it), Please do not make enemies out of healthcare employees lest they will rally around the VICTIMS family, and it may become a return of Singur.

________________

When Kangana was fighting politicians in Mumbai, we all supported her, and we then had a hint that her end goal was politics; even Vinesh showed the same signs. ONE WAS BACKED BY THE BJP AND THE OTHER BY THE CONGRESS.

Vinesh or Kangana will be hero-worshipped as long as they stick to the domain that made them heroes; once you enter public life, you should be ready for the scrutiny of your private life, and the mud-slinging matches will intensify, then playing the Victim card will not work.

____________________

Moumita's parents need to know what happened to their daughter on the night of 9th August; they have the right to have an every-minute account of it; if the assault was by one person or more than one,  CBI should come out and give details to her family and to everyone around.

CBI, under the influence of the central government, should not play politics with victims' families the way it did with the SSR family. 

The agency will wait for the sensation and public interest to die a natural death and silently release the report one evening in favour of their masters.

If the bureaucracy was honest and showed a spine, half of our problems would vanish.

We often blame the political class, but the judiciary and bureaucracy are equally corrupt, greedy, and hand-in-glove.

___________

Whatever the intent of the Modi government / Didi government, the political posturings of empathy and sympathy could have helped them eliminate one potential rival. 

Telangana government sensed public unrest after the gruesome rape and murder of a dentist in the outskirts of Hyderabad hence went by the demands of the masses and eliminated the rapists; the decision was applauded by one and all barring some pseudo-intellectuals.

______________

Only with the respective governments' intent and involvement will there be closure for Vinesh Moumita or anyone asking for it.

The pain of crime is sometimes much less than that of not receiving justice.

The pain of not being heard is far more than that of not receiving justice.

Special connection with Sambaji Nagar

Special connection with Sambaji Nagar
-----------------------

After spending the weekend with my daughter and dropping her off at collethisday morning, I decided to visit temples. She insisted on staying at college for lunch and ordered me to STAY AWAY  till 5 pm.
Thanks to her, I covered the Bhadra Maruti temple at Kuldabad,  then Grishneshwar, which means lord of compassion; it is the 12th of jyotirlingas in the vicinity of Ellora caves.
Devotees usually visit Grishneshwar at the end of covering 12 jyotirlinga darshanams. Still, I started my spiritual journey with this temple, and the blessings came in abundance every time  I went to meet Shiva Parvati.
---------
The temple was transformed many times, destroyed, and rebuilt like many of the other 12 jyotirlingas in India.

It was rebuilt in its current form in the 18th century under the sponsorship of queen Ahilyabai Holkar of Indore after the fall of the Mughal Empire
---------
The next stop was at Ellora cave number 16.
The natural pull today came from this particular cave.
The Kailasa temple in the Ellora Caves is a megalith carved from one rock. It is considered one of the most remarkable cave temples in India because of its size, architecture, and sculptural treatment, built in the 8th century!∆
The average person like me did not know what Kailasa Temple was!
I saw it as a thirteen-year-old but wasn't wise enough to comprehend the greatness of Ellora caves, specifically cave number 16.
My father drove the family to introduce us to the caves, daulatabad fort, grishneshwar, and many other exciting places leading to Nashik and ending at Janmasthan of river Godavari in Nasik, which is also called Dakshina ganga. It is the second-largest river in India.

The Kailasa temple, in today's parlance, can be called one of the first examples of Minecraft in history.
People with pickaxes carved out a mountainside till they had a temple.
It (Cave 16) is the largest of the 34 Buddhist, Jain, and Hindu cave temples known collectively as the Ellora Caves, ranging for over 2 km along the sloping basalt cliff at the site. The architecture shows traces of South Indian carvings. It is noticeable and  notable for its vertical excavation and is  the only structure in the world that is carved from the top to bottom
The aerial view of the temple can be found on Google; it is a mesmerising sight, with goosebumps giving visual.
Every design & measurement was planned precisely, as once it was cut, there was no chance to change it by adding extra stone

This temple is from single solid basalt bedrock measuring  164 feet long and 108 feet wide. The structure will probably never be built again on Earth!
It is considered the largest Monolithic Structure in the World and can be called Wondersders of the Wonders!
I was blessed to spend half a day at the site, devouring every inch of it with my eyes.
You should see it to believe its magnanimous, enthralling, captivating aura.

Ellora caves are depicted on the new rs—20-note Indian currency.
The caves are UNESCO-declared world heritage sites.
----------
I had to catch hold of solo travellers to get my pic clicked and return the favour by clicking theirs.
The best shots came from the young ladies, and the worst came from middle-aged men.

I thought only my husband was poor at clicking my pics; alas, it is the same sorry story from East to West.
I asked one man
Aap bhabhi ke pictures bi itni buri lete ho kya
He said ho na, wo trass make mere saath jaati ich nai.
----
I MURMURED YOU DESERVE IT!
---------
Gratitude.
I have always experienced an ancestral spiritual connection with this city. Every time I bid goodbye to it, considering it my last visit, the Maratha aura summons me to bestow some larger good.

Nita Ambani, three cheers to you!

 

Nita Ambani, three cheers to you!

___________________________________

Stop worrying about Ambani's Wedding.

Start worrying about your physical health, financial health, mental health and your family's future.

How much pleasure are we deriving from envying the people who are better than us?

How jobless and sadistic should one be when analysing the divorce settlement problems of Radhika and Anant?

If we connect the extravaganza to the divorce, something needs to be fixed with us, not Ambanis.

Divorce has nothing to do with the wedding budget for people like Ambanis.

No one will marry, foreseeing divorce as a possibility in the future.

Divorce is neither a taboo nor a financial bothersome for people of their stature.

They will find a way out to sort it.

And let's remember circulating money benefits the country and its economy instead of hoarding it in your vaults.

____________

Invest your brain and time in finding a good partner for yourselves or your children.

Use your intelligence and analytical ability to improve your life.

It is so effortless to advise someone to spend the wedding budget on charity, and this recommendation comes from—people who may not have ever fed a single person a simple meal without expecting anything in return.

Who are we to dictate to them how they should celebrate their joys and the homecoming of a bride?

All of those criticising them, did you not have a good wedding?

Will you guys not host one for your children?

Will you spend all the wedding budget on charity and opt for a silent registered marriage?

Learn to be happy in others' happiness.

Have respect for people who have generated employment for lakhs of people, and many families meet the education and other expenses of the family by selling reliance shares.

Stop demonising entrepreneurship!

---------------

I have noticed this

People, for no reason, envy others, envy somebody who caused no harm to them, malign people whose paths never crossed.

I have personally heard many stories of people in my surroundings sabotaging others' happiness and growth.

We are a society of morons if we cannot see someone's happiness, growth and success.

__________________

So it is their money, time, happiness, and celebrations.

I loved watching their joyful moments, kaleidoscopic clothes, and beaming faces.

Bringing a bride home is the merriest moment for the parents, and let them make it memorable.

I wish Radhika and Anant a life of smiles, love, and fights.

A marriage devoid of fights is a lifeless marriage.

____________

Reliance should now venture into event management, hosting weddings and corporate gatherings. It should be run by the family's women, considering their experience as great hosts.

Nita, Isha, Shloka and Radhika have a matchless spirit and will turn the Reliance Eventz Pvt Ltd into a blockbuster one.

They may attract clients from all over the world, as many people desire to have a Bollywood-style Indian wedding. With their connections, bringing in Hollywood stars, sports icons, and giant business houses as clients will be easy.

They can show the family wedding events as promos.

Reliance Group is known for being a good paymaster and values its employees' contributions. So they can get Rihanna, Biebers, and Beyoncés from around the world under the payroll.

_____________

Once again, Radhika and Anant, may life be kind to you, and may you be blessed with wealth to run VANTARA forever.

__________

All that glitters is certainly GOLD.

 All that glitters is certainly GOLD. MARCH 2024.

In the morning all we indians ask for is a kadak chai or coffee.

If we cannot brew one at home, we venture out to find a stall, which usually is within a distance of 500 meters from our home/office.

But here there are no tea or breakfast stalls, no street dogs eagerly awaiting their morning treats, and no one to engage with over the latest political news from the morning paper. There is not one bird in the vicinity as there are no trees or water to make them feel comfortable.

Few supermarkets sell tea and coffee. Indian chai is often readily served from a flask, and if the salesperson is a Malayalee, he will make instant kappee with milk from the flask.

We in every corner of India are so used to seeing street vendors start their businesses at 5 am. catering to morning walkers and office-goers by serving hot, fresh, and sumptuous food for every budget. No one goes to work on an empty stomach because a didi-dada, anna-akka, tai-bhau, bhaiyya-babhi are standing at every bend of the road to serve us fresh chai, paratha, puri, idli, poha, bread, or omelette. The south of India offers even more options as they sell sprouts, green tea, and a variety of breakfast options served hot on the banana leaf. The list goes on endlessly.

_______________________________

The fruit vendors, the quintessential kela-wallas are non-existent. The vegetables are always store-bought. There is no milkman on a cycle or scooter dispersing milk pouches. Even a city like Mumbai has milkmen crisscrossing it in the early hours of the day.

Some stores sold bananas, and surprisingly, all the bananas were of the same size, shape, and colour, so they were uniform enough that one could pass them through any test but could not find faults.

The bananas were as long as snake gourds but tasted dry and powdery.

The skin of Banana was as smooth as Katerina's face but equally lifeless.

___________________________

Despite sheltering people from all the nationalities and cultures of the earth the sense of connection is sorely missed. The Tall towering buildings lining the sky sometimes give complexity to the sky itself.

If we look up it feels as if the sky is fighting for attention by peeping from in between the buildings.

The more I watched the towering buildings, there was a rising sense of disconnect.

I tried hard to fall in love, tried to connect with the locals with the Arab world, to understand their culture and way of life, but it felt as though they were closed off to everyone.

As a second option, I spoke to many Pakistani cab drivers, and while they were friendly, it was clear that they had experienced their share of hardships and challenges in the city.

They too were looking for a way to connect, to find common ground with others.

Once my Red bindi gave them a confirmation of my nationality, they spoke of politicians and tensions between our countries, pinning the blame on Media and social media.

The last cab driver I spoke to was a young ITI engineer from Peshawar who dream of moving to Europe. It was clear that he was looking for a way to build a better life for himself and his family. I felt a sense of compassion for him and his struggles, and I wished him all the best on his journey towards the West.

The Pakistani stores in Global Village sold the worst fabrics ever. Thus, my connection with the pak side of D was ended.

_________________________

One of the evenings after dinner at Hotel Rajdhani three of us decided to go shopping in the global village located on the outskirts of the city. The place was bustling with people, and many stores from all the countries were selling various products.

We spent a few hours browsing different shops, checking clothes, and bags.

After a while, I started feeling tired and decided to take a break. I found a cosy spot to sit down and rest my feet while my friends continued to explore the china shops. It was a large granite sofa with seating arrangements on both sides. At 1 am, a gentleman who was 6.3 feet tall, fair-skinned, with a well-maintained beard and expensive chappals, was seated three feet away from me on the same sofa. He was wearing a thobe.

An Indian man, approximately 28 years old, was sitting on a shopping trolley facing us. Both of them were quiet and showed no signs of knowing each other. I thought maybe the Arab gentleman was there to buy gifts for his family, as he appeared to be single.

Later the arab man told the indian guy to watch his place while he went to pick something. "I asked in gestures, 'What?' The Indian replied that the man was from Egypt and he was their porter. His wife is on the other end picking things. He went to get food. I asked, 'Why doesn't he make eye contact or speak?'"

He gave me a sneak peek into the arab world based on his experience as a porter to many of them. He summed it up for me but told me to keep it a secret, I obliged.

His wife came back with a lot of food and shopping bags they ate in silence and walked away silently. The porter bid a silent goodbye to me.

The spot where I was resting was also a designated smoking zone I guess, because every third person(men and many women) stopped to smoke. I inhaled a lot of tobacco fumes that night, but surprisingly, I did not feel dizzy or puky.

My friends returned around 2 am, and we all drove off, discussing how safe D is for women.

________________________________

The following evening, we were taken on a drive to the Atlantis located in the Palm Tree area. However, we were disappointed that it was just a lot of lights, like too many, perhaps because of Ramadan Kareem.

We parked at a place and went for a walk by the beach side. We had a discussion and debate on geopolitics centred on the spot we were standing at. As we walked, I couldn't stop appreciating the Atlantis, which is truly a marvel and is located between the Arabian Gulf on one side and the majestic but lifeless D skyline on the other. It is considered to be the crown of the world-famous Palm Island in D. The area tells you on your face "that if you don't have the money and power, you should leave".

______________________________

On the third day of our trip, it rained heavily, and everyone(Indians) enthusiastically discussed nothing but rain. In India, we don't usually take a topic like rain so seriously. However, the locals had already planned to welcome the rain 48 hours in advance and were lost in discussions about everything related to rain. Every food/travel/safety/shopping dog topic revolved around the impending rains and their potential impact. Even though the rains arrived earlier than expected on a small stretch during our trip to AD, the cab driver, who was from Pakistan, started talking about it as if he was seeing rain for the first time. The locals' conversations about the rain never stopped, even after the rains came and went. I was silently listening to all their discussions and soaking in everything they had to say, while they were soaking in the rain.

___

"The BAPS Mandir was an energetic structure, just as mediocre and special as anything in D/AD. Although I wasn't greatly impressed, I was happy that Shiva called me to his temple on Shivaratri. The palace and mosque had their charm, but they felt distant. A Salim Christi Darga or an Ajmer sheriff Darga makes it feel like our own."

The drive was beautiful, the company was great and the Shivratri food cooked and served by a Gujju friend made it feel like home on a festival day.

___________________________

The khalifa the D mall and the aquarium are all man-made marvels, getting replicated across the globe. sooner or later, we will have them everywhere. Standing on the 125th floor, we don't feel like a conqueror. In fact, looking down at the roundabouts on the 125th floor made me realise that we all move in circles. A cousin showed us around and offered us Indian masala chai, a much-needed respite.

______________________

But Sharjah gave the vibes of how all of it was 2 decades ago.

SHarjha is now what D was a couple of decades ago.

It had a soul and life, too.

The structures and lights do not add any glow but take away from the culture and ethnicity, may bring in money but the core is wiped out.

_______________________

What I felt a connection with was the gold market. That's the only place I felt at home and all that glitters is certainly gold. The sheen of the metal took a promise from me to return to it and I accepted the offer. can go back again and again just for the METAL.

Yes, rules are not the same for everyone

__________________________________

In this creation rules are different for each one of us because we are all at different stages of evolution. 

you and I can together do a similar mistake but we should not expect the repercussion of the same to be similar.

I may be punished more than you, because at my level of consciousness I am not permitted to do such karmas. A class  10 student will not be given leniency in comparison to class 2 student in many ways. As the class 10 person is expected to adhere to certain dharma (rule) because of his evolution from class 2 to class 10.

I will explain this to you with a very personal anecdote.

I have a friend in Hyderabad. She is born to rich parents and married to an ambitious guy, who used the resources (legal, illegal) to multiply their wealth by another 100 times, and he is still at it. They have a college going daughter.

She has been calling me for some time, but I have been avoiding her calls because all she does even on the ph.  is flaunt her wealth, her husband’s financial success and her child’s achievements. There is no meaningful discussion or learning. It is not that I envy her but I value my time and I spend it judiciously, never in gossip but only to read, pray, cook, serve or write.  I don’t spend my time on people who cannot inspire or motivate me. 

When she called me last week, I answered the call. 

So, she started with her personal success story in her practice and then went on to share about her husband’s new business venture and then about how her daughter cracked the toughest entrance made it to the best college in the world etc etc…I too got carried away (sangat ka asar) and shared some fake success stories about me and my family. I knew I was exaggerating but I reasoned to myself that it is justified, as the friend  too was exaggerating and flaunting something which isn’t THE REALITY. 

Both of us faked in hyperbole as much as we could and at the end of it, I got tired lying and said goodbye to her on the pretext of another important call in waiting.

After speaking to certain people if we don’t end up feeling charged, motivated and energised instead feel drained and low then believe me we are not in  the company of right people.

30 minutes after I hung up the ph., I received another  ph. call, it was bad news in reference to the exaggerations I made about me and my family’s success. I felt terribly guilty for projecting false happiness, false achievement thereby bringing ill luck to the family.

But In the next 60 minutes help poured in from all the corners and we could together mitigate the problem in the next 24 hours.  

I had a silent conversation and reflection within about why and how things went wrong. the friend who boasts on a daily basis about her family falsely is not affected and here I am being punished within few minutes of projecting untruth. 

That’s when I realised that RULES CANNOT BE THE SAME FOR EVERYONE. 

In her journey at her level of evolution and consciousness mistakes are permitted but not at the stage where I am. I knowingly willingly projected something which dint exist and I had to pay a price for it, hope my bad karma is squared up. 

Nature is a great leveller, let us not do mistakes because someone else is doing and remaining unpunished. 

The balancing game is played by nature with a lot of accuracy and precision. Have faith and move forward. Cut out all the negative influences if you can, or at least try to remain unaffected by them because what is right for them may  be wrong for you as RULES ARE NOT THE SAME FOR EVEYRONE. 

Sabkha time ayega.
