freedom

The Sena against Valentine's day , BJP against beauty contests , The Goa-Police against rock concerts, AVK against B'day parties. "Welcome to India where as comedian Vivek puts it.. "Ur Free to piss on the streets, but not kiss"
Women's day 8th March - BPGC - Venue- Audi - A gathering of educated youngsters. My foot !
Mr and Ms Waves - The way the female participants who walked the ramp were treated, u definitely had to give an award to BITsians for the heights of blatant sexism , ad disrespect to women (that too guests of the college) and kudos to the audience who laughed along. Pat on ur back. Imagine having to walk the ramp , perform ur talents on stage , and answer sexist questions ( btw clean creativity has hit rock bottom in bits and questions without 'subtle hints' are non existent) when all the while some moron types crap abt u and ur anatomy on a huge screen at the back for all to see! Well at BITS - thats just another event, something all women are expected to endure by virtue of their gender. Ultimately it was just a violation of the right to dignity. Its amazing how after 17 years of education, knowledge of basic rights ,sensitivity to feelings is at absolute zero.

The bad evening doesnt end there- Junkyard Groove told to pack up and leave @ 11:30 by the police , it was just good clean fun on the campus. So what if some ppl got drunk , y r the others to blame ? y stop such a wonderful display of talent for such a flimsy reason ?
Where did the right to freedom go ?

Its high time, we get to know our rights, stand up to them and respect those of others.
