What is Child Sexual Abuse?
Child Sexual Abuse, CSA is any sexual contact between a child and another person with or without force and people who prefer sexual activity with a child are known as ‘pedophiles’. It is important to remember that such people are completely responsible for the abuse. The effects are disheartening and numerous such as depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, propensity to further victimization in adulthood, and physical injury to the child.
A shocking fact says, that one in three girls in the world is sexually abused before reaching the age of eighteen, and one in four before the age of fourteen? In the case of boys, one in six is sexually abused before the age of sixteen. They can be homosexual or even heterosexual. And it is disheartening to hear from the victims.
What is our position in the world?
It is hard to know that India emerge as the "hub of child sex abuse", in order to protect child from such abuse the Supreme Court ordered the government to deal sternly with criminals and recommended a separate police wing to deal with Child Sexual Abuse. The court also advised the government to seek the help of NGOs in tackling the problem of Child Sexual Abuse. Here is a blog helping people to understand about CSA and how to tackle it.
What steps can be taken to eradicate Child Sexual Abuse?
1. Teach your children about sexual abuse and about different parts of the body.
2. The behaviour with one spouse can be a role model for the children.
3. If someone approaches them for sexual abuse then they should immediately report to parents.
4. Encourage your children to invite friends at home and know about them.
5. Last but not the least; be vigilant for any signs of sexual abuse.
How bloggers can help for this cause?

Here is a Haiku for people to think..

Do people reveal their true Identity on social Media?
Yay! This post won the BLOGJUNTA's 'THE GREAT DEBATERS' Contest - Debate 2 - Junta's Choice, Check out the results here. Thanks for all the sweet hearts who voted for me and for the 'FAV IT' on BJ...
Of course they do, people do reveal their true Identity on Social Media. If you think, identity is just the name, age, sex, location and pictures then you are wrong because most of the online Social Media Sites share the same. Then what is identity? i.e., true identity, it is beyond those names, age, sex, location and pictures. ‘Beauty is skin deep, Identity is name deep?’ No, it is more than that, it is the thoughts behind your words, and the true heart behind it reveals your true identity.
'Our true reality is in our identity and unity with all life ~ Joseph Campbell'
'Committing yourself is a way of finding out who you are. A man finds his identity by identifying who he is to his heart ~ Author Unknown'
My thoughts right from my heart (true identity)
Well, it may be chat, Orkut, Facebook, or Twitter, the words from your heart reveals your true identity. However, one would complaint the words used in chat world, the A, S, L, and vulgar words on 3D chats would question me, “Are they revealing their true identity?” I would say, ‘Yes’. If you speak with a person face to face they may not reveal their true identity but in chat they do reveal who they are and for what they wanna be friends. “Can anyone say no this? Aren’t they revealing their true identity?”
Be it Orkut, Facebook or Twitter people do write from their hearts. Here are few of those written from heart.
* My Blood friend was gifted with a prince last week. She shared the status as
Aren’t those words from her heart? Her prince was a waited gift and I dedicated my words to the Prince here.
“We even share our happiness in Facebook and Twitter,” as they easily reflects our moods and identity.
*When I was upset, I planned to stop writing and shared a status in FB
How many of you came to console me. Aren’t those words are true from your heart? Do they reveal your true identity or just for the sake of words? I believed it, consider your words and that's why I am here..
And few more here on various occasions..
“No newspaper garden is free of weeds”, Sumana Raman, express her thoughts on grammatical errors found in Newspaper, “Did she afraid of expressing it or aren’t they from her heart?”
Next to Chat, Orkut, Facebook and Twitter, is Blogging, how many you have put these lines in your Bio, “This is the place I share my memories, my journey, my life”, even I do the same, aren’t these words reflects your heart? Aren’t you revealing your true identity? I bet, all my regular readers knew that I do romance with my pen and the journey is a sweet dedication is someone special in my life, Am I not revealing my true identity because I write with my pen name… Of course I do reveal, pen name is not the mask but it is who you are to your heart, if you can say your identity is your name then I would say my identity is my pen name and my words is my true identity. If you still feel, I am not, then how many of you love to be called with your nicknames by your loved ones. “Aren’t they changing your identity?” “Say, yes or no...” and how many of you would express your true identity here?
Finally, the point is the words expressed from their heart reveal the truth about those individuals. As they say, ‘Do not judge a book by its cover’, yes do not judge people by their identity (profile) instead by their true identity (character and soul). And yes, of course, people have freedom to be true on social media and that’s why most of the people reveal their true identity on Social Media.

first sweet date
little drops of rain
drenching us
warm love waves
lifting moods to divine world
a sweet love downpour
Shadorma is a 6-line poem (sestet) of Spanish descent with no set rhyme scheme. The Shadorma is a syllabic poem with the following structure: 3/5/3/3/7/5.
~ these are few of my favourite things ~
I ran my fingers
on her forehead,
reminds me of water melon best slices
her mesmerizing eyes
so close to my eyes
reminds me of black grapes
her tiny ears
with sparkling studs
reminds me of country pears
kissing her cheeks
I brushed her with lips
reminds me of rosy pale apples
first, little kiss
on her sweet lips
reminds me of orange segments
her neck veins
that carries those lusts
reminds me of pineapples and avocados
her sweet hugs
and the warmth it brings
reminds me of those peanuts
These are a few of my favourite things
When I'm feeling sad
I gaze through the window
into the world where we lived
the darkness of the room
reminds she is no more
with tears in my red eyes
this is where it ends
though I never wished so
pain is unbearable, so
I close my eyes and simply
remember few of my favourite things

a dream she is... a kiss seals it...
a dream she is
a moment it was
a bliss she is
a treasure it was
a sweet she is
a dessert it was
a flower she is
a bouquet it was
a journey she is
a kiss seals it
Sachin she says
‘I could not control my tears of joy’, he says
‘dream journey’

Journey
This post has been published by me as a part of the Blog-a-Ton 19; the nineteenth edition of the online marathon of Bloggers; where we decide and we write. To be part of the next edition, visit and start following Blog-a-Ton.
A journey, a dream of 37 years, living for it almost 22 years and finally he is there to hold the world cup on 2nd April 2011. What a moment it could be?
“I couldn't have asked for anything more than this. Winning the World Cup is the proudest moment of my life. Thanks to my teammates. Without them, nothing would have happened. I could not control my tears of joy” – Sachin Tendulkar.Most of you know about this journey but as an ardent fan, who dreamt of this moment and waited for this in the past six world cup edition, love to pen down this dream moment.
It all started when his elder brother Ajit encouraged him to play cricket and his cricketing career blossomed under the guidance of his coach Ramakant Achrekar who always challenge Sachin by putting a one rupee coin on the top of the stumps and the one who dismiss Tendulkar would get the coin, if they fail then the coin would go to Sachin. Sachin have won 13 coins and he considers it as the most prized possessions.
It was in 1988 Sachin announced his name to this world by involving in an unbroken 664 runs partnership with Vinod Kambli, Sachin himself scored 326* and reduced the opposition bowler to tears. He made his Test debut on 15th November 1989 vs Pakistan and in the same year, he made his ODI debut too.
His 53 of 18 balls, including an over in which he scored 28 runs of Abdul Quadir was one of his best innings and it was acknowledged by his Captain too and in the 1991-1992 Australian tour, he remained unbeaten on 148 in Sydney Cricket Ground also known as Sachin Cricket Ground. His name flourished throughout the world during the period 1992-1999, his world cup records in 1996 was unbelievable, but the dream of winning the world cup was shattered in an infamous semi-final and in 2003 Aussies tasted them.
Though he had a glorious career made of remarkable moments but due to injuries, his was not in good touch until 2006 but once again, he arose like a phoenix as he hit back his form in second half of the year 2007. From that day until today, he is in his peak of his form. The magical journey includes 18000 ODI runs, 14000 Test runs, 99 International Centuries, the dream of 200* runs in ODI and many more wonderful innings.
Sachinism is more than a religion in India
We say HE IS GOD but what they say about our little master:
"Nothing bad can happen to us if we're on a plane in India with Sachin Tendulkar on it." - Hashim Amla
"To Sachin, the man we all want to be" - Andrew Symonds wrote on an Aussie t-shirt he autographed specially for Sachin.
"We did not lose to a team called India...we lost to a man called Sachin." - Mark Taylor, during the test match in Chennai (1997)
"He can play that leg glance with a walking stick also." - Waqar Younis
"There are 2 kinds of batsmen in the world. One Sachin Tendulkar. Two all the others." - Andy Flower
"I have seen god, he bats at no.4 for India" - Mathew Hayden
"I want my son to become Sachin Tendulkar." -Brian Lara (WI)
"Do your crime when Sachin is batting, because even God is busy watching his batting." -Australian Fan
Barack Obama - "I don't know about cricket but still I watch cricket to see Sachin play...Not b'coz I love his play its b'coz I want to know the reason why my country's production goes down by 5 percent when he's in batting"...
What else one could wish for other than these wonderful wishes? But his critics always wanted him to retire or tweet a statement, “whenever Sachin scores a century India results as losing side” but how many of you know that out of 48 centuries only 13 went in vain and one of them being 175* against Australia, is it Sachin’s mistake? think.... Or else they would coolly say, "Sachin never performs when chasing", gosh, he has scored centuries 14 times when chasing, the most by any player in this cricketing era. Losing is not in the hands of Sachin, only performing is in his hands and common people don’t blame the master for the worst performance of others.
Even then in world cup after scoring two scintillating centuries, one Vs England, the other against South Africa, he was once again criticized for Team India Losing for which Harsha Bogle replied as
Think about the man himself. He is 37 years of age. He has been playing almost nonstop for 22 years. The way he was running and diving around the field last night would have put 22 year olds to shame. The way he played the best opening quickies in the world was breathtaking. He just keeps getting better, which is by the way humanly impossible. It’s not for nothing that people call him GOD. But still I don’t want to be in those shoes. We struggle in keeping our monotonous lives straight, lives which affect a limited number of people. Imagine what would be the magnitude of the inner struggle for him, pain both mental and physical, tears that have frozen with time, knees and ankles and every other joint in the body that is either bandaged or needs to be attended to every night, eyes that don’t sleep before a big game, bats that have scored 99 international tons and still see expectations from a billion people. And he just converts those expectations into reality. We watch in awe, feel privileged. Well I think it’s time that his team realizes that enough is enough. They have an obligation, not towards their country alone but towards Sachin. They need to win this one for him. Stay assured that he himself will still deliver and leave no stone unturned to make sure India wins this cup.
This is not just a game, and he is not just a sportsman. It’s much more than this. Words fail here...
And as said, the team performed well and Today after Dhoni & his men in blue won the cup in style for Sachin in his home ground where he was a ball boy when India won their first world cup a way back in 1983, and today he lifts the cup in the same ground, and he was lifted by his team mates which when asked to team, they say,"We wanted it too badly. I'm glad we achieved it. Obviously, it was for the special man here (Sachin Tendulkar) standing next to me. We're all very happy for him," – Zaheer,”
Homage to God
"We wanted to win it for Sachin Tendulkar. This World Cup is for him. It's yet to sink in and I don't know when it will sink in," - Gambhir
"Sachin Tendulkar has carried Indian cricket on his shoulders for 21 years. So it was fitting that we carried him on our shoulders after this win," Virat Kohli
And in post match press conference, Yuvaraj Singh revealed about his “Someone Special”, "Very sorry to disappoint you, guys. It was not for my girlfriend but for Sachin Tendulkar and it is for him"
after enjoying those sweet moments, I sat to pen down about my Little Master’s journey, dream, he is the history, he is the God, he is more than a religion in India, his teammates says, “this time for Sachin” and the nation says, “Sachin! Sachin! Sachin! Sachin!”
I say - What an amazing journey is this little master, you are the God, you are the history and you are Cricket, and you are everything... What more I can say, even my words fail here, sleep well little master, “Your dreams are now reality and it is a memorable journey, Hats off Sachin”

Sweet Memories
Remember the time
When Sachin score
first run with bat
the phase he made
opponent team cry
they went to earth
saluted the master
for his unbeaten 326
he did succeed at first
and announced himself
to the entire nation
his bat thrashed them
when waquar bounced
or when wasim swing
with no trace of fear
be it allan border or
any captain of team
respected little prick
be it Sidney or Sharjah
smashed the bowlers
round the corner for 6
be it Murali or Warne
smashed out of the park
broke gavaskar, border
lara records in tests,
10,...18k runs in ODI
his bat scored first
double hundred in ODI
50 centuries in tests
finally his dream of
37 & living for 22 years
came true when India won
sleep well little master
sweet memories for us
will cherish it with a smile
ever, ever and forever….

Carry on Tuesday, Prompt #99
I saw...
Why I am unable to pen down the things I saw in the mirror? Is this the writer’s block? Or I can’t believe what I saw? Confused I, but… I should explain others loud and make them persuasive that whatever I saw is not a nightmare but riches for a human. Yes, I saw ‘God’.
