This is why home cooked Food is Dangerous

All of you must be wondering about the credibility of the above statement, aren’t you? It’s hard to believe. No doubt, home cooked food is the safest. First, answer this question.

Are you in the habit of texting or surfing the Internet while you eat, cook or serve? Well, you must be presuming it to be time-saving! But have you ever stopped to wonder…what if it is decreasing your lifespan?

Are you now able to join the dots?Let me elaborate by throwing light upon an incident that took place recently. Just like Indian moms, Mexican moms love to prepare meals for their children instead of giving them canned food. Josefina, a mother of two, got up early to prepare breakfast for her children, Augustin(8) and Maria(6) in order to prevent them from taking junk food at school. She prepared some egg and ham tortillas with fresh orange juice. At the same time, she got a text from her husband to which she replied after some time, while her children got ready. While preparing the table, she managed to answer all her husband’s messages and called her children. They had their breakfast and reached school on time.

After a couple of hours, a shiver went down her spine when she received a text which read that her children are on the way to the hospital! She rushed there with her husband. Doctors disclosed that her children were down with fever caused by a bacterium Salmonella(Probably some of you might have heard of Salmonella typhi, a type of this bacterium which causes typhus or yellow fever when you were at school). This bacterium may be found in various home cooked  foods or objects such as phones, remote of a television, now it is destroying children’s organs. Josefina couldn’t believe her ears, she immediately lost consciousness while her husband prayed fervently for his family.

After some tests, the doctors concluded that the bacterium was in the food that the children had, some hours before. After much scrutinization, they discovered that the fault lies in the mobile phone that she used while she served. Our phones are homes to thousands of bacteria that can end up on our food thereby leading to fatal consequences. Josefina broke down, seeing such a catastrophe that befell on her children just because of her. She was continuously begging forgiveness but to no avail! Maria’s hand opened, as her mother heard the flat line on the machine. Augustin too passed away after some time.

See how fatal using your phone while eating, cooking or serving can be! Josefina is now warning the world through this mishap that shattered her family. So, drop down your phones next time you eat or serve your home cooked food ….Health is in your hands.

How reservation is depriving Indian society

Consequences of reservation.   

 The country where more than 50 million people are still below the poverty line.The country where more than 50% of graduates decides to go foreign for beginning their career,Yes we are talking about our very own (Used to be called Sone ki Chiriya)* country India and one of the reason is caste reservation in India.

                        The reason why I have written the above lines because India is a diverse country But still some people are becoming a bone in India’s developing process And yes I m talking about one of the most talked reason for the depriving of developing India i.e Reservation in India.

Our blog is completely biased free so when we write about Caste Discrimination We also make sure to write Why Caste Reservation So If you want to have some idea please see Who are the persons encouraging Caste Discrimination and how to end this Social evil.

How it started.

It was all started long back in  1902 where the first government order was passed in the state of Kolhapur to give 50% reserved seats  for backward classes. in 1979 Mandal commission was established to assess the situation of deprived classes and it classified 1257 communities as backward(OBC population of 52%).In 1980, the report was submitted by them which led to increase reservation from 22.5% to 49.5%.

The supreme court has  clear instructions not to increase reservations to more then 50% but let me tell you about the current scenario Tamil Nadu one of the southern parts of India has 69% of reserved seats with 66.6% in Andhra Pradesh and talking about northeast states(Arunachal Pradesh,Meghalaya,Nagaland) 80% of the seats are reserved for ST.

You can imagine out of 100 seats only 0 seats can be filled by general students that too are unreserved i.e can be filled by a St/Sc or Obc student if has secured more marks than a general student.

                               Now you can just imagine the audacity of reserved people they still consider themselves as deprives. A state  in which 80 seats are exclusively  for the reserved categories and they still can’t develop so whose fault is this, and the fact is that it has become a greed to them they have reservation in promotion also that means your fellow mate will be promoted first if he belongs to a reserved category irrespective  of the skills and capabilities (Because reservation) Now they are asking reservation in private sectors also. 

The country where the cutup of a general student in exams such as IIT is 105 whereas just 40 marks for reserved class and this year it was only (-22) and yes there is a minus sign over there. The country where more capable persons are not offered the place they deserve and where given to the reserved(So called discriminated people). How can that country compete with other developing countries such as USA or China?

The current scenario.

                           You must have seen or heard the case of reservation in Gujrat or the Jat Aarakshan protest trending some months ago and now the Gujars is all trying to call them as deprived instead of trying to reduce reserved seats WHY?? The reason is because they know being reserved in India is easy then removing reservation from India.The trend started back in 2015 when the Patel society started to demand reservation for their people not because they were deprived or they need it but because they were clever enough to understand the scenario.

Updated :- The most interesting fact I got to know today is that for the very first time in  India Gujrat government has issued reservation to General people who belong to financially poor society.

                            A lot of Communities and organisations are joining hands with each other to ask the government to remove reservation from all sectors or at least to remove reservation for every reserved people having an income more than 5 lacs. Many communities such as WAR (War Against Reservation),IAR(India Against reservation), ARC (Anti Reservation Community)(Please do tell us if you have a community or organisation and fighting for this social cause)are encouraging people through social media to demand reservation free country from the current BJP government.

You must be having some questions on your mind like why our government is still quiet on this rising problem and that is all because of vote bank because that’s what is more important. They aren’t actually quiet and are promoting reservation instead.Just some days ago Chief minister of Bihar asked to provide reserved seats to private sectors.

Women Empowerment reminder: Yet again

“Wo dekh!! Kya maal hai!!” Please come out of the misconception that a goods inspector is saying this. With utter disgust, I mention that a boy uses these soothing words while casually checking out a girl with his gang of friends. Even after so many revolts and reforms, I, as a girl ask…ARE WE SAFE??

Ever wondered why International Men’s Day isn’t popular like its female version? Well, I am sure that many of us do not even know that such a day exists. The ultimate cause behind this is that women are victimized enough to be spared with an ‘only-for-name-sake’ celebration.When everyone showers them with fake promises and phony apologies. People write articles, make schemes, make arrangements but alas!! Everyone forgets everything the very next day.

We live in a world where the definition of an ideal woman is 36-24-36. What can we say where people have such low mentality and an extremely heinous way to judge a woman.Women are never given equal status and opportunities as that of men

People think Women are limited to working for household and that’s one of the main reason for considering women inferior. The upbringing of children, pleasing their husbands and serving other members of the family are the additional duties. Today in a young generation, women are still subjected to immense pressure to shoulder the dual responsibility of a housewife and also a working woman simultaneously with very little and in some case No help from their husbands. It is the same mentality which, some generations ago, used to think of women as mere objects of attaining sexual pleasure and a servant of the husband, also who were considered “Parameshwar” which translates to “Supreme God”.

Our country India is the epitome for providing facilities to curb gender discrimination and give women empowerment a new shape!! It is ironical that a country, which has recently acclaimed the status of the first Asian country to accomplish its Mars mission in its maiden attempt, sees itself on the 29th rank among 146 countries across the globe on the basis of Gender Inequality Index. So Recently, we came across the news that a 10-year-old girl hailing from Chandigarh was 26 weeks pregnant. The district court turned down her abortion plea as courts allow medical termination of pregnancy up to 20 weeks under the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act.

Often females fall prey to horrendous sexual torture by lustful men who are, in most cases, known to the victims. Then, our esteemed society and their representatives justify it and show their cheap thinking. They consider it a publicity stunt and try to avoid the wearing of jeans but ironically, support the 6 inches flaunting of the skin by allowing to wear saree in name of culture. They ought not to wander the streets late at night and much more. Uncles can rape babies, and still, so people out there think that the dressing sense of women nowadays is a big no?? So now, What if a rule comes into the picture that girl babies will come out of nursing homes wearing a burka. VOILA!! #ProblemSolved

Swami Vivekananda. One of the greatest sons of India quoted that. “There is no chance for the welfare of the world unless the condition of women improves. It is not possible for a bird to fly with only one wing”. Therefore, the inclusion of Women Empowerment as one of the prime goals in the eight Millennium Development Goals underscores the relevance of this fact. So as to achieve the status of a developed country like USA and Australia. India has to change its women force into a proper human resource. This is only possible through the empowerment of women.

Measures to uproot this practice

The challenges are many. People need to change their perspective. Patriarchate bottlenecks, economic backwardness, loopholes in the legal structure and lack of political will, retard the smooth execution of laws that are made in this direction. The need of the hour is an egalitarian society, where there is no place for superiority. We should emphasize on proper implementation of programs and their monitoring as well as evaluation through social audits.

Justice delayed is justice denied. So It’s high time to make efforts to restructure the legal process and deliver fair and in-time justice to the victims of monstrous crimes. Rapes, acid attacks, sexual harassment, trafficking and domestic violence are only to name a few. So Empowering women socially, economically, educationally, politically and legally is going to be a Herculean task.

It is not easy to change the culture of deep-rooted disregard for women in Indian society. But it does not mean that it is implausible. Only revolutions bring changes in a day, but reforms take their time. This one, in particular, will take its time as well. All we need is strenuous efforts in the right direction. That would rest only with the liberation of women from all forms of evil.

“There is no tool for development more effective than the empowerment of women.”
