Our Safe Orphanages!!


Today on the occasion of Women’s day I came across one headline in the newspaper saying “Kerala Orphanage: 7 girls sexually abused, blackmailed over 2 months”. Aren’t these orphanages supposed to be the shelter homes for little kids? As per the best of my knowledge, these orphanages were supposed to be a safe shelter place for those children who do not have anybody in this world to take care of them. But today these shelter homes have become child trafficking platforms. Our cruel society works beneath these NGO’s/shelter homes. I myself came across one of them a few years back when I started working for one of them thinking that finally I have achieved something in my life by associating myself with some noble cause. But soon after joining the organization I started observing some unusual things happening inside the organization. I used to wonder from where all these funds are coming when we do not have any sponsor. The owner of the organization used to spend lavishly in the parties without thinking twice about the funds. I still didn’t use much of my mind and kept myself occupied in the work assigned to me till I myself got stuck in the horrifying situation. Without showing any of the heroic acts I ran away from the organization. I was so scared that suddenly my safety became my priority and even once I didn’t think about the kids who were actually being the victim of this trafficking business. Today, when I read this news in the newspaper my blood boiled again but then a wave of guilt passed through me when the faces of those children started flashing in front of my eyes questioning me why I didn’t do anything for them even when I had the capability of doing that. Today, I had to write about it to let that guilt come out and through this I can request those cruel animals of our society to at least spare our little kids from this menace or else we would never be able to feel that innocence in the eyes of our generation to come.

    Well said Aanchal! Despite of treating the little lifes like toy give them love and care. They need to fly. Dont let that innocent smile turn into fear.

    Thanks Aanchal for taking out time to emphasise on this important issue. Though the problem is deep-rooted, we as a society should involve ourselves otherwise it can never be resolved.

    I appreciate the efforts you have put in to highlight this evil side of our society. These people surely deserve disownment from the society and they need to be punished hard so that they dont repeat such inhuman acts ever.

Am I the only one who didn’t like Padmaavat?

After a month long controversy, the most hyped movie of 2017 finally released on 25 th Jan 2018. Padmaavat is a typical Sanjay Leela Bhansali venture where you travel to an altogether different world with impeccable cinematography, jaw dropping sets, most beautifully crafted jewelry and costumes. He indeed pays attention to every single detail of his film except for the storyline. I really had high expectations from this movie as everyone around me was going gaga over this film. But to my disappointment, it was nowhere close to my expectations. I don’t understand if it’s because the cuts that were made while censor board certification or the actual story was written in such a manner. Also, one thing that bothered me the most is that Jauhar was an event that happened during that era. There was absolutely no need to glorify it and showcase it with such heavy background score as if it was such a proud moment. If it actually was such a proud practice then it would have not been ...

Atishi Marlena; We Didn’t Deserve You

I am neither from the Anti Modi squad nor among the Bhakts. I respect Mr Modi for all the good work that he has done but curse him for everything that he said but didn’t do. There is a very famous term in Eastern UP called “Bhaukal” which is used for people like Modi who talk a lot but do a little. Anyways, I am happy that he got elected once again as our Prime Minister and really hope that this time he actually takes all his countrymen together without creating any further prejudice. Now that the dust of this election has settled, when I look back at all the events, one thing that actually broke my heart was the defeat of Atishi Marlena. Her defeat shows that people of our country still do not go through the profile of their respective MPs and happily vote for vague statements. Let’s just get a glimpse of who Atishi Marlena actually is? Atishi did her schooling from Springdales School, New Delhi and graduated in History from St. Stephens College, New Delhi. She got the C...
