SAVIOUR OR DESTROYER ???


This face speaks.....
Of the immense potential the new generation has.A gruesome end to a fairytale,as I put it.
Every girl is a fairy,a princess in her home.Irrespective of all differences,be it personal or socio-economic,every child is special.Be it Aarushi or Asif or next door Chintoo,all are the soul of their parents.What happened with Aarushi is known to everyone..
anyone who watches satellite television is a mute spectator to the great fiasco created by the media and police over the death of a girl,belonging to an upper-middle class family of Noida.The way the "facts" were framed,the police' theories regarding the murder and above all,charging the father made me angry.I did not write about her before because I found it hard to believe that a father(that too in medical profession,where life is a valued possession) could ever kill his daughter in a fit of rage.
The media brought several false notions about Aarushi's family which could severely impair their social life.Even relatives and friends would be ashamed to be associated with the family in any way.
The less said about the police,the better.It acted in an irresponsible way- indulged in character killing of the victim-used "honour killing" theory to defame the family.The actual mystery may never unveil now. What happened that fateful night is still in shrouds.
I'm ashamed to live in a country where police,the supposed saviour of people and media,the fourth pillar of democracy - take shortcuts to gain limelight.

First, thankyou for visiting my blog. I really appreciate it.

WOW....INTENSE....AMAZINGLY DEEP....AND STRONG! I absolutely agree wih every word that you just wrote in there....it is so unfair of the media to blow news so much out of proportion. Aarushi's case was taken really badly....and yes, the worst part was his father being accused of her murder....it is hard to believe that the police can do sumthing like that without proper evidence!

Loved the way you quoted everything.

P.S: Blog Rolled You By the way!!!!

Sometimes the media glamourises the gruelest of crimes, it makes me sad. Aarushi's death was very sad, the fact that the case has been shut without an answer makes it sadder.
(Thanks for the birthday wishes, blogrolling you!)

Happened to stumble across your blog after I saw the comment on my blog.
Thanks for visiting my blog.
I kind of stopped blogging after that post which you read.
Will start composing again in the coming week.

And coming to your topic, I am afraid to tell this, but Indian police is considered to be the second best in world after Swiss Guard in solving cases. I am not sure about this though. It might be because that our police find the real culprits real soon or fake someone as the culprit.

They find ways to tackle a situation. Its always the media. To sustain the pressure from media and stabilize the situation, police come up with different stories

Thanx rocky 4 visiting my blog.and thanx 4 caring to post a comment.I was disgusted to see how blatantly the victim's was treated by state police as well as the media.So I wrote about it when the case was closed.If Indian police in 2nd best,God save the other countries..

tnx for visiting the crazy me...but i assure u I'm never permanently that high ;)
What happened to d family is indeed a shame....innocent lives spoilt...another dark spot for the police
kill a daughter so brutally in a fit of 'rage' and rage over what? ...were all the bunch of those pigs(police) mad? i really dont know...with the kind of theory they made up, one would be inclined to feel they were suffering acutely from mental illness!
Anwesa said…
Thanks Ayushi for saying ur mind.I am thinking on the same lines.(I think we share the same vibes on a personal level,especially on issues like this).the Noida police' theory on the murder sounded like a D grade bollywood flick.

i guess the arushi case was spoilt by media...
They just for getting their TRP rating high came out with all kinda false ideas....
Media i guess have forgotten why they exist and wat their role is...

ILLUSIONS OF REALITY...

The more you point out my mistakes, The more you are drawn towards me. The more you try to hurt me, The more you bleed in your heart. The more you run away from me, The more my memories haunt you. The more you want to forget me, The more you are reminded of my presence. The more you want to chase me away, The closer I come to you. The more you hate me, The more you end up loving me. The more you call me an “illusion” The more I dawn as the reality of your life….

CONFESSION OF A WOMAN...

When I'm born,I'm jeered at.When I'm a child,I'm made to believe that my reason for existence is somebody else.While I'm growing up,I'm discouraged to question.My brain and heart are numbed.I cannot die too,since it will bring infamity to my family.People would say,"At this age,what could have forced her to terminate herself ? She failed to materialize her fantasy.Such bad morals." I fast for the well-being of my father and brothers.When I outgrow my frocks,I'm let off to another household.There, I work for others, without pay.I have children but they treat me like a door-mat.Here too,I fast for my husband's and childrens' long,peaceful life.When the man of the house,who happens to be my "husband" dies,I shed a part of my soul.I have no right to live then,I just breathe and sit in a corner.Rest of my life is spent in praying-for death.They say, "Woman needs a man.In childhood,its father.In youth,its husband and in old age,i...
