In absence of a law to punish culprits convicted for crimes against women and children, a precedent might have been set for culprits to (Ram) Singh with even more impunity! Hon Minister for Civil Deviation, it's a request to you to coordinate with your counterparts in Singapore for reserved landing and parking slots at the Changi International Airport for all air ambulances originating from India! Similarly, Ghulam, Kabhi Azad (?), Hon Minister for Wealth and (First) Family's Welfare, in back drop of no protection against women and children's frights, hope one has already started to contemplate RESERVATIONS of bed count at Singapore's famed Elizabeth Mount!

Mr.President of India, the public protests in Delhi and elsewhere in the country were not only against the ghastly and brutal crime against a woman, but also against the lackadaisical attitude of the ruling class, complete lawlessness and an apathetic Governance (billion-dollar scams, remember?); with children and women from 0-90 being abused without fear of law, all that talk of growth in investment, retail, telecom (2G, 3G and 4G!) manufacturing and services, an emerging riddled-class (!) and a global-power-in-the-reckoning vying for a Permanent Seat in the United Nations Security Council (ironically, with no security for its own citizens!) remains but a SHAM! Mere claims of "being concerned" and "deeply hurt" on account of being a "father of 3 daughters" or making a scapegoat of Police constables by sacking them for not doing their job (you do?!), provides no solace to the victim or the immediate family who have been scarred for a lifetime! While most among us would go about celebrating the New Year with our friends and family while looking forward to fresh beginnings in 2013, the trauma and scars of our bretheren who have been (brutally!) abused, as well as those in their immediate family, is unimaginable! Priyadarshni Mattoo. Aruna Shanbaug. A 2-year old. A 5-year old. A 23-year old. A 42-year old. An 80-year old. Delhi. Bombay. Chennai. Kolkata. Guwahati. India. Motherland. It's anarchy in it's most Draconian avatar! By the way, in the (extremely!) private sector (Corporates, how about engaging with your esteemed consumers, however common, through CSR?), a boss MIGHT lose his job if he loses the confidence of his own people; since you and all your colleagues in the Parliament have (thoroughly!) FAILED, why not be a complete man and follow Suit?!

Man, that stinking feeling when you want to sue midst all the shit that continues to happen with women and children at all times of day and night! On a platform of Churchgate railway station. At a Dadar Bus Stop. In a Bandra bus. On the Andheri flyover. Outside a Borivali fast food joint. At a mall in Mira Road. In a queue inside a "Devi" temple in Virar. At home. Work. School. College. Western. Central. Harbour. Perversion in India transcends municipal limits, crosses State boundaries and lands straight into a Parliament where 162 MPs are facing criminal charges; what's more, 260 MLAs and MPs have contested polls while facing sexual assault charges! 'Yatha Raja, Tatha Praja'. Thus, India follows Afghanistan, Congo and Pakistan, along with Somalia, in a list of the world's most dangerous countries to be born a woman!

Mr.Prime Minister, Delhi repeats, everyday. Everywhere. Across the country. It repeated itself in a heart-rending incident involving a 23-year old; one week ago, on this day, she mustn't have even imagined what was in-store and how she would be battling for her life at Safdarjung a week later! It's ironic that while a country speaks of being a global power in the reckoning midst all the jazz of growth and being an attractive investment destination, it's own citizens - especially women, children and the elderly - are most unsafe and insecure, even if they might be living in the same city as their President + Prime Minister + Chief Justice of India + A lady chairperson voted among the top 3 Most Powerful Women in the World + Home Minister + Defence Minister + A lady who leads the biggest Opposition! Mr.Prime Minister, economically speaking, it becomes a Grossly Disturbing Proposition (GDP) when the Crime Rate Ratio (CRR) is in a multiplier mode in back drop of the powers-that-be raising their (personal) interest rates as a measure to boost their own Strict Law Reinforcement (SLR) and bridging their own deficits via fiscal and other monetary treasures!

In a vast empty green space of slum flopmarket area in a mega-loo-polis, a few shanties are erected at night; a divine deity appears in a makeshift temple a few days later; some hundred thousand dwellings spring up in the vicinity of the makeshift temple under the shelter of the (slum) Lord with complete access to water, electricity, air-conditioning and a Direct-2-Home fabled (!) connections; thus, all that's Green finally appears lean and clean! As the city ever weeps at all the green sweeps, in a remote village of India, a "son-of-the-soil", whose unrelenting toil feeds hundreds and thousands each day, with no bar to language, caste, religion, gender or region, commits suicide on account of being burdened with debt! Elsewhere, in the National Criminal Region - where prominent leaders might reside - women and children are repeatedly abused at day-and-night in moving and stationery trains and buses and cars and public places, or for that matter, within confines of their own home! (Affordable?) Housing. Education. Mid-day Deal scheme. Public Health-Scare. Ruined by those in Power. Gooned by those in the opposition. It's all happening. Here. In Malice in Blunderland.
