 She killed the sura, Mahishasura, the demon in the form of Buffalo.  

Hence we call Mahishasuramardini

He was with a boon, neither man or God can kill him. 

There was magic, the aroma of success by the carnation of Durga, 

She rode on a lion and shed his blood by chopping of the head. 

To embrace the victory we celebrate the dasara. 

In mysuru. 

We pray to goddess Chamundi (Durga) 

The 10 days of pooja in the name of victory over evil. 

The city will we lighted with more the 1 lakh of lights, it would be a majestic beauty. 

The offerings will be done by the royal family to the goddess, weapons, tree etc., 

Decorations, wrestling, folk dance, parades musical evening and what not to entertain your tired soul. 

There comes the ambari, a golden chariot weighing 750 kilos, goddess Chamundi glitters in the chariot led by trained elephants. 

It's a view as well as brings a purity of love, devotion to all of the Hindus.

We are haunted by poverty, 

Shattered to the core. 

Morality sucks ,no matter you are edge of your death

We, poor live under the shadow of their foot.

We work hard bring out the sweat for the smile of the lavishly living people. 

They care about the fun they had, their one day life will feed us for the the whole week. They don't even touch us to eat the leftovers. They say we are dirty. We lack sense. 

If we care sense of not eating other's left over we would be eating our own crap. 

Politicians are not leaders, they money diggers. 

They need us to make scam, to loot. 

They remember us only during elections. 

We are dying without food or humanity. 

Our colonies are turning to  disease hub, infants are premature, kids are illiterates, new mom is anaemic, majority kids are malnutritioned. 

We don't have jobs, some like liking the boots of rich, some have integrity, some are jobless, some are hopless and some are dead. 

'' India follows polygamy which means male dominating country. 

And India stands 4th position in the world which does female feticide.

 Though it's illegal in India, there are some cases which occur in the dark'.

My mother was in fear 'coz of my birth. 

Oh! It's a girl again ,she exclaimed. 

My mother wanted to kill me before my father arrives the place. 

She was about to block my nose with her two fingers. 

Oh! I never knew I would be alive for only few minutes. 

I bloomed my eyes, she cried aloud. 

She hugged me and said, I'm sorry my love,

If your father knows that born baby is a girl. 

He would abandoned me, 

Who knows! He might kill me too. 

I have to live for your two elder sisters else I would have killed myself. 

I don't want them to be orphan. 

It's time to go my baby girl and she squeezed me to death. 

Yes it's done, I'm dead. 

I wish I had a life and lived a life. 

Anyways and always 'I love you ma'.

 Life is beautiful. Maybe you earn and live or your parents made you to live without any hurdles. 

Some are gifted with riches and some are not. 

Some go to HiFi schools and some to normal schools ( but the education is taught the same) 

I can't blame my poverty, I can never think I'm superior because I know that I'm perishable  

It's beautiful to know you are surviving . Non IT person says, IT is better because they live on other crap. 

IT person says non IT life is better because they don't have commitment. 

Both have pros and cons. We all live with the support of other individual and commitments, irrespective of the profession. 

What matters is what ethics you had, what you implemented for your betterself , how much emotions  you have contributed for self as well as your loving ones. 

We all chose to work to earn the bread. And when we all go for forever sleep. We leave everything behind.  Make sure your ride was best. 

 My blog '' hacchucookingcorner.blogspot.com " was about cooking and life ethics. And my writing stuff was with " tornscripts.blogspot.com " . I am here to announce that, I'll be using a  new concept called ' Out Of Box ' in this blog along with cooking recipes. You might wondering why this blog!? Though I own multiple blogs. 

 And I want to you know the truth, the situation we all can relate. And I hope you will all stand by me as you are. 

Yes, this was my first blog since half a decade and my personal favorite. So this new concept called ' out of the box ' in this blog. 

Need your support! 

Punishment in Afghanistan , which is death sentence. Rapists are shot in the head within four days of trial. The punishment is executed by the victim. In some cases, rapists are hanged.

Punishment in Saudi Arabia, Rapists are beheaded in public, and the body and the head are then stitched together. Rapists can also be sentenced to death by stones. Rape stones are showered towards the rapists until he/she dies.

China is one of the strictest countries when it comes to rape punishments. The punishment is death sentence. Sometimes, rapists are punished by mutilation of their genitals, and eventually, death. 

Then in India? 

We are democratic Indians for name sake. We have no power. The money and political influence matters. What was the urgency to burn the accused girl in the mid night, is government sleeping or money made the police to shut the mouth. In couple of days two girls are raped in barbarian manner putting them to death . And now so called officials are silent by implementing laws of prohibition to #hatras  . 

Until the government implement such either of three laws we women will be in a pathetic conditions, who knows maybe one day, it might me you, or me or someone whom you love. Let's give a end by implementing one such law instead of feeding the culprit for his lifelong. Girls or the boys who are reading this, please let's not stop fighting against this now. Nirbhaya , Priyanka Reddy and now Manisha Valmiki  ( many incidents are unknown) lost their lives, can you imagine their parents and pain? We can make a trend with hashtags or mention dumb officials or protest by lighting candle (that's what we are doing since decades, we shall not give up) , lets stand as one for the Reformation of Law against the rape. Until the new  law we are suppressed by supreme power{ it's not a man but the political power and the money}.

Can you imagine slitting her tongue so that she will be dumb forever, I wish slitting the 4 culprit men's ****  is the best judgement and no other individual will dare to rape any woman.
