Some controversial stands

I am for Dowry....
Yes...I am for dowry...But, if you think me as a fundamental, I declare I don't want to be. There are times where the dowry is the right option to choose from. Did you believe? Yes it is! Most of the middle class Indian homes might have a son and daughter. Mostly the daughter is the one who gets married first. The daughters will mostly never get the property of their father. House or land owned by their parents goes to the son. In those cases, parents are obliged to give Dowry and the girls has the right to ask for compensation (In its social form it becomes dowry). It's indirectly a compensation only. As sum of dowry might be very less compared with the property to be inherited by the son. Because of the unequal sharing of property only, still the dowry exists in society.
I am against Dowry...
Dowry is a social evil. It is the symbol of injustice in society. In reality, dowry brings more evil than it ought to be. Poor parents are the most sufferers. And greedy bridegrooms exploit their wives. It is the symbol of female oppression and it is the one that kills a lots of married indian women and abuses them whether their parents or rich or not. If you have a relative who suffered because of dowry then you might spit at me when you read the "I am for Dowry" paragraph.
How to abolish Dowry practically (My solution)...
Yes you can abolish it by strictly by forcing the existing laws then all of the population will be in jail. So it is not practical. The concept of Inter caste love marriages or dating marriages of western type will prevent this, but our soceity is not at all culturally matured to that level. We are backward as a ditch.
My solution: So Dowry can be abolished by strictly pushing a "new" law, which says that inherited property should be shared equally with male and female children.
And for self-earned property, it should be brought to some kind of legal arrangement whenever a children is ready for marriage. I mean, the 'will' should be written before the death and also with consent/not consent of children. The 'will' should be ready with the horoscope. (Horoscope is another evil which I will deal it later.) This might be the practical way to abolish dowry. Because dowry is all about sharing or exploiting money....

There is no God. But still I Pray...

1. Who is God? Simple. God is an imaginary and cultural entity! No God in the world sprang up suddenly. There is a real story behind every God. Believe it or not...Gods too evolved and progressed, influenced each other... Story of religions is a simple example. For that I need to elaborate about the Gods of West and later East. The concept of "prophet" and "son of God" is an example. Judaism is one of the oldest of all religions. It is the first to introduce the concept of prophet/son of God. Moses liberated Jewish slaves from the clutches of Egyptian Imperialism. It is believed that he received ten commandments from God and he is a blessed one. And the concept of prophet/son of God starts here. Great culture of Egypt believed in multiple Gods, it is no wonder that their slaves believed in one God and expected a liberator an exact opposite to their master's belief. Now large number of Jews live around the world. Israel is a Jewish nation. Their important book

Shame to be a man

I have been always proud of being a man. I used to believe that as a man I am mentally and physically strong. I always had a strong male ego. I used to have the same mentality towards women like everybody used to have from my part of world. As everybody I was brought up in a way that made me believe that as a man I am above women. The flawed society in various forms like mass media "cinema" reinforced the concept again & again. Like most of the men I saw them inferior, sex icons, weak, dependent, less-intelligent...etc., etc ., The moment of realisation... I always proud of being a man till that very moment of realisation struck in my mind. This stuff is personal, but not really a personal one. Here is that very moment... My wife was carrying a baby baby. One night she told that baby is kicking... It is the first time she is feeling it so strong...I laid my hands on her stomach to feel the baby...my baby hit my hands...he was moving & shaking inside...I felt like cry

குழந்தைகளின் புன்னகை பூ....

[I dedicate all these below poems to my kutty papa Jagan. He started smiling at people's faces! ] தமக்கு தாமே பேசி சிரித்து கொள்கின்றன குழந்தைகள் .... தன்னை தானே படைத்துக் கொண்ட இந்த பிரபஞ்சம் போல ... " "நெருங்கிப் பழகிய நட்புகளையும் நீண்ட நாள் சொந்தங்களையும் சந்தேகத்தில் வைத்து விடுகிறது வாழ்க்கை .... குழந்தைகளோ அந்நியமான முகங்களையும் பார்த்துச் சிரிக்கின்றன... " "காரணம் சொன்னார்கள்... கனவில் தெய்வங்கள் வந்து ஆசிர்வதிக்கும் பொழுது குழந்தைகள் தூக்கத்தில் சிரிக்குமாம்... ... குழந்தைகளை தெய்வங்கள் ஆசிர்வதிக்கின்றனவா அல்லது தெய்வங்களை குழந்தைகள் ஆசிர்வதிக்கின்றனவா?!"                                                           - ராஜேஸ்  (Children talk to themselves; And play with themselves; like this universe; which created itself; from void by a bing bang) (Life makes us doubt; close relatives and dear friends; but children keep smiling at even strangers) (Are babies blessed by Gods Or; babies by blessing bless Gods)
