Can you imagine,
You can't take a flight out of Blore at night, coz it ain't legal for the air hostess to work!!!
You can't get a nurse to attend the patient in the ICU coz Hey, she's gotta be home!!!
A lady can't deliver a baby at night coz the lady doctor will not be available till 6AM!!!
You cannot arrest any ladies at night.. coz u need a lady cop to escort her and the lady cops will be at home as they are not supposed to work at night !!!
The economy in the IT/ITES sector shall go down..but that's ok!!
The prostitutes/ bar gals will still be available at night, coz they have never been legal!!!
How Bizaare !!!!
That's what I felt when I saw the latest ban by the Karnataka govt. on Women working past 8PM took me by surprise. How dumb can you get Mr Ansari. You are the minister of Labor after all.
In the modern times when we talk about equality and equal employment rights... the step back to stone ages with a rule like this seems so preposterous that I wonder if this was even discussed and approved by even a sub set of ministers.
Let's be practical guys, what we need is
- Better Law and Order Regulations.
- Safety for commuters across the city (incl Women)
- More awareness for ladies and some self-defense skills (even it is a pepper spray)
- Access and response to 100
- Less red-tapism in police stations
- More aggressive stance and faster resolution on rape cases
These would give a sense of safety to all the people be it Men, Women or children. We need better governance and not stupid Laws !!
Times of great calamity and confusion have ever been productive of the greatest minds. The purest ore is produced from the hottest furnace, and the brightest thunderbolt is elicited from the darkest storm. - Charles Caleb Colton

Quote of the Week
Three passions have governed my life:
The longings for love, the search for knowledge,
And unbearable pity for the suffering of [humankind].
Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness.
In the union of love I have seen
In a mystic miniature the prefiguring vision
Of the heavens that saints and poets have imagined.
With equal passion I have sought knowledge.
I have wished to understand the hearts of [people].
I have wished to know why the stars shine.
Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens,
But always pity brought me back to earth;
Cries of pain reverberated in my heart
Of children in famine, of victims tortured
And of old people left helpless.
I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot,
And I too suffer.
This has been my life; I found it worth living.

Inspirational Words
Road Less Travelled
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth
Then took the other as just as fair
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet, knowing how way leads onto way
I doubted if I should ever come back
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence
Two roads diverged in a wood
And I took the one less traveled by
And that has made all the difference
- Robert Frost
___________
Yes, there are two paths you can go by,
but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on.
