A Sweet Milestone



  This wind you think of, thus blows by me
  I walk t'is dream burning fair - on asphalt.
  See her with delight, but soft and lone thee
  Cross'd path the night, amidst I listen alt,
  neath the wide volumes, turn my soul inside.
  Slips by the oversight, stumbled by the fall
  Passion that hides, richer said than words soft
  She maketh unseen color, My youth painted
  Walked by my unconscious, juvenile mind
  Count the hours: daylight, fair moon arise,
  Then I shalt see thee, with my impatient eyes
  Ti's day shalt rise fair, my eyes intent thy.
  I have walked this asphalt: lone and forlorn
  I wouldst walk afar, A few more, endless miles...


P.S. Few Miles completed 3 years today!
I tried molding Few Mile's journey and the Sentiments through my choicest words.

Thank you Sarav.

Blog Action Day 2012 ~ The Power of WE ~ #powerofwe


Dear All,

I cordially welcome you to Few Miles! As you all know, today is Blog Action Day, and this year the theme is The Power of WE.

Why, I hear you ask? The Power of WE is a celebration of ration of people working together to make a positive difference in the world, either for their own communities or for people they will never meet half way around the world. (Taken from BAD page)

There are hundreds of examples listed on Blog Action Day website such as fighting for healthier meals for kids in schools, protecting people’s rights in countries far away, stopping practices in industries that hurt the environment and communities, ensuring people small-scale farmers get fair deals, the rights of women and children are protected and many more. And so far, I’ve supported the cause - Water on 2010, Food on 2011, and this time, without any doubts, I’m highlighting a severe issue that prevails in the world.

What’s that severe issue, I hear you ask?

I hope most of us might have heard/seen/read about #Haryana #Rape #Issue where 19 rape cases have been recorded in the past one month. Let she may be a two-year-old girl or a thirty-year-old woman, but if she is a Dalit, then she can be raped in Haryana. She can be raped in a field on late nights or in the godown on an afternoon or even in her own house at gunpoint on a mournful morning. No one is ready to register a complaint, even if the victim registers a complaint, nothing could stop those rapists, and the rape count goes up steadily till date.

Why I want to highlight the issue here on Blog Action Day?

The reason is simple, to show the power of we, and to help to stop this crime against women. It is painful to read it on newspaper.

Can someone say how painful it is to know that a 2-year-old baby was raped? A 2-year-old? Did she at least know what is meant by that?

A 13-year-old girl was gang-raped by nine men. Can you image nine men taking turns on 13-year-old kid? How painful it would be? What should we do to stop this crime against women? Can we cut those men off? (Castrate) Yes, we can.

A 17-year-old girl was gang-raped by four people for nine consecutive days. Can you imagine being raped for nine consecutive days? Nine days? Can you imagine how painful it is to be in that position? Tears rolls down my cheeks when I type this. What do to in this case? Behead them? Yes, we can.

And 16 more such incidents (most of them are gang-raped) are recorded in the past one month.

How should we react to show THE POWER OF WE?

We can suggest the Government to perform a Commando Operation, to shoot the rapist at first sight itself without questioning or arguing with them, if the victim could identify them. And if Human Rights commission raises a question against this action, then the answer should be, they are not at all humans, they are not even animals, because animals are better than humans are; they are fucking rapists, and they have crushed the dreams of a future achievers.

Let’s speak out, let’s join hands, let's make this bigger and make people listen us to stop the crime against women such as rape, sexual molestation and for lip service, because these men deserve no sympathy, and must be given deterrent punishment.

What say? Let show the POWER OF WE to STOP THE VIOLENCE/CRIME AGAINST WOMEN!

I’m keeping this post short. If you like to read in detail, stop here.

Stop Crime Against Women


She may be a two-year-old girl or a thirty-year-old woman, but if she is a Dalit girl, then she can be raped in Haryana. She can be raped in a field on late nights or in the godown on an afternoon or even in her own house at gunpoint on a mournful morning. No one is ready to register a complaint, even if the victim registers a complaint, nothing could stop those rapists, and the rape count goes up steadily.

I find it hard to read it on a newspaper. How hard it is to be in that position?

1. Young Couple tried to kill themselves after she (25-year-old) was gang-raped by five men in Haryana
2. A 14-year-old girl (a student of class VII) was allegedly raped by a youth at her house in Haryana
3. 2-year-old girl was allegedly raped in Haryana
4. 13-year-old girl (a student of class VI) gang-raped by nine men in Haryana
5. 5-year-old girl raped in a field in Haryana
6. 19-year-old girl, Law student gang-raped by four youths in SUV for 24 hours, then thrown outside college in Haryana
7. 17-year-old girl gang-raped by four people for nine consecutive days in Haryana
8. A teenage girl (a class 12 student) was gang-raped by 12 men in Haryana
9. A Dalit woman has been gang-raped by 7 men in her home at gunpoint in Haryana
10. A teenage girl (a class 11 student) was gang-raped by four men in Haryana
11. A newly-married woman has been gang-raped by four men in Haryana
12. A 16-year-old Dalit girl committed suicide today after she was allegedly gang-raped by 2 men in Haryana
13. The horror of rape continues unabated in Haryana. A woman was allegedly raped in Mathepur village in Haryana, when she went to the fields to collect fodder.
14. A 20-year-old was raped by her employer
15. Another minor girl raped in Haryana, 15th case in a month
16. 6-year-old lured with chocolate and raped in Gurgaon

I do not wish to list the other three headlines because I’ve a heart and it is already shedding blood.

Can someone say how painful it is to know that a 2-year-old baby was raped? A 2-year-old? Did she at least know what is meant by that?

A 13-year-old was gang-raped by nine men. Nine men taking turns on a 13-year-old kid? How painful it would be? What to do to stop this crime against women? Cut those men off? Yes, we can.

A 17-year-old girl was gang-raped by four people for nine consecutive days. Can you imagine being raped for nine consecutive days? Nine days? Can you imagine how painful it is to be in that position? Tears rolls down my cheeks when I type this. What do to in this case? Behead them? Yes, we can.

A 19-year-old was gang-raped by four men for 24 hours. Can you imagine being raped for 24 hours continuously? Was she a living being or a waxed woman? Are they really human beings? Fuck off!

Day by day, things get worse and the State Government says, “Marry them ASAP, to stop them being a victim.” Is it a solution to this problem? How it can make a woman rape-proof, if even married women are being raped? The Central Government calls it conspiracy to malign Government. Are they really worried about these women or about their Government?

I wonder if we really live in the country in which Mahatma Gandhi was born. He said, “We attain the real freedom only when a lonely women can walk freely anywhere in our country during mid-night”

I could not even laugh considering it as a joke. My heart pains to know that girls cannot even step out of their house, and then there is no point of thinking of the above quote or about Freedom India.

What is the punishment given to a rapist in India? You can read it here. http://mynation.net/rapelaw.htm

I cannot write a word more about this issue, but I can suggest a solution.

What can be done?
None other than a Commando Operation, to shoot the rapist at first sight itself without questioning or arguing with them, if the victim could identify them. And if human rights commission raises a question against this action, then the answer should be, they are not at all humans, they are not even animals, because animals are better than humans are; they are fucking rapists, and they have crushed the dreams of a future achievers. Those victims can be future Vijay Lakshmi Pandit’s, Indira Gandhi’s, Kiran Bedi’s, PT Usha’s, Kalpana Chawla’s, Marry Kom’s, Saina Nehwal’s, or they may be an achiever on their own. Now they cannot even show their faces itself, and a few had left this awful world.

Listen, what she wears to work or to when she goes to school does not matter. What time she goes out to her friends place or return collecting fodder is not an invitation to rape her. She may or may not be with a male company, but that does not mean she is ready to be raped; it is her body and no men are not allowed to touch it without her permission whoever you are – friend, acquaintance, lover or husband.

Let’s speak out, let’s join hands to stop the crime against women and for amending the law to provide for much stricter punishment, may be capital punishment for rape, sexual molestation and for lip service, because a rapist deserves no sympathy and must be given deterrent punishment.

And I wonder if I can have my breakfast without reading news about rape… Keeping my fingers crossed… I’m submitting this post as a part of Write Over the Weekend, an initiative for Indian Bloggers by BlogAdda, wishing hoping that the big Indian Blogger crowd might read and starts acting to stop crime against women.

Last Few Words..

I fly across the winds under the clouds amid the people carrying an untold story of a heart counting his last few hours. He may not see her again, but his last few words will tell her, how badly he missed his lost love. So, until I find her, let the story be untold please!

The fellow Blog-a-Tonics who took part in this Blog-a-Ton and links to their respective posts can be checked here. To be part of the next edition, visit and start following Blog-a-Ton. I'm introduced by Nethra, and this is my 22nd post for Blog-a-Ton :)

A memorable online shopping experience madness!


“When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it” – says Paulo Coelho. I agree!

It’s not every day you find someone whom you can befriend with. When you find someone precious, you cannot miss him or her in your life. He or she may be younger or older to you, fair or dark to your eyes, near or far from where you live, or whatever, still they are precious as your friend or sometime you cannot tag a label, and you so wanted to gift him or her as a gift, for what and who they are to you. I have a few close to my heart but she is a special one, actually a little one, with whom I share a special bond – a precious invisible bond to bind us! She is such a sweetie!

In early days, people used dove to send very small gifts and as a messenger; in 80’s, people used telegram for sending short messages, and posts for sending small gifts, before a decade back people bought gifts for their precious ones and couriered them. A few years back, people found a solution for their problems and tagged it as ‘Online Shopping’ – The one stop solution for all your needs! They named the solution as ‘eBay’, ‘FlipKart’, ‘snapdeal’, ‘Qvendo’, ‘Pringoo’, etc. I love the second and third always, as I’d my best experience with them. If online shopping was not there, I’d not have been able to gift ma sweet one. In fact, that’s my first real online shopping experience after Pringoo, which my friend did on behalf of me – a sweet memorable experience :)

This incident happened thirteen months ago, and all thanks to Mohinee of Gurukripa for hosting Grand Patriotic Poetry contest and inviting to judge the contest! It was a fantastic experience to judge the contest with poetic greats. Glad and blessed to judge an entry by Aadarneeya Ms. Swarna Kaurji and it is none other than the Grandmother of my little one! As I promised during the initial announcement, I wanted to send gifts, but how can I send gifts to Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh? I wondered!

That’s when my roommate introduced FlipKart. It sounded like Greek and Spanish to me! ‘What? How? Are you sure?’ Puzzled I was, and the solution was simple. In fact, I was amazed by the collection they had under each category and variety. I learnt about the best deals, offers and what not – Online shipping itself is the best gift invented by a human for humans!

Quickly, I browsed the catalogue of books and selected books of my choice keeping Grandma in mind. I added the books, “Gitanjali - Rabindranath Tagore”, “My Experiments With Truth : An Autobiography - Mahatma Gandhi”, “Anna Hazare - The Fakir Who Moved A Country” and “Love On The Rocks - Ismita Tondon Dhanker” to my cart and checked out for payment. I found two options for payment and I’d to choose Online Payment :( My hands shivered to make an online payment and I had no other choice :( so I did make an online payment after confirming for the umpteenth time about the integrity of the site with my friend. Still I was not convinced, so I took a screen shot of the same for my reference and emailed little one too :)

I was so worried about the quality of the products, though it was books and it has to be delivered to Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh. A week had gone by peeping into my laptop for an email from Little One, but finally, it took ten days to reach Gorakhpur. I was the happiest man in the world to know that the books reached them in very good condition and Little One, her Parents and Grandma were happy, a lot in fact.

But what made the experience so memorable was the reaction of Little One and Grandma. The below text was taken from Little One’s Blog post.

I'm sharing here so late almost after 3 months about my so special gift I received from my Special One, Saravana! There was a Grand Patriotic Poetry Contest organised by dear friend Mohinee. In this contest, I submitted my Sweet Granny's poem हित अपने देश का. And when the result declared my granny and me started dancing with excitement because her poem was selected the best by Someone is Special! Then I lived that moment brought happiness to her. I saw something that I'd never seen before... tears in her eyes! But they were of joy, excitement and satisfaction. She has been writing poetry from so many years but they were compiled in a diary with no reader until I publish them on my blog. Now she has great talented readers here so she gets so eager to make me post them as soon as possible. All of yours appreciating and encouraging words have made her to pen down poetry again she skipped years before! I want to give a big thanks to Mohinee for organizing such a wonderful contest and to my Special One, Saravana for honoring my granny with such wonderful gifts.

This might not have had happened if Online Shopping was not there. All thanks to Online Shopping for helping to strengthen a pure unfading sweet relationship in the world with my Little One, which cannot be named! I can cherish this memory forever!

I thank BlogAdda for organizing the contest Moment of Madness, for selecting my post as one of the winning post, for offering a gift voucher to shop from Pringoo, which ultimately was my first online shopping (seeing) experience and also for organizing this contest, which has created an opportunity to share a sweet incident happened in my life. I’m wishing hoping to do a memorable online shopping from snapdeal.com as well :)

This post is a part of the contest at BlogAdda.com in association with Snapdeal.com
