Pro-Lifers and Pro-Choicers, I get your point of view!

-
Image
Pro-Life and Pro-Choice are just words that politicians, the media, the far-right and far-left people use to divide us into two groups. These groups of people demand that we take one side. You are Pro-Choice if you believe that a woman has the right to decide on what she does with the embryo or the fetus that is inside her womb. Being Pro-Choice is when women have the right to choose to use birth control. Being Pro-Choice is also when an ailing person can decide whether he/she wants to live or not and can then accordingly opt for euthanasia and assisted suicide. Pro-Choice is also when the judicial system is allowed to give a death penalty to a serious crime offender. Well, to me, all of that sounds correct. A woman must be allowed to decide whether she can use drugs to prevent her from getting pregnant. She must have the right to decide if she wants to keep the child or not as long as the procedure is safe. Yes, serious crimes must be severely punished and the death pe

The Prodigal Son

Hahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahhahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahehehehehehehhehehehehehehhehehehehhehehehehehehehehehe. LOL.  This is the first thing I do when I think or even talk about the President of North Korea Kim Jong Un. Yes, he is the same guy who was behind smearing his half-brother's face with acid in Kuala Lumpur airport; yes he is the same guy who keeps flying rockets from North Korea threatening to kill people across the world; but in spite of that, I find Kim Jong Un really hilarious. Like, even if he plots to kill me and eventually kills me, there’s no way I would be wild at him or even want to take revenge. Instead, I would be laughing my ass off thinking about him in hell or purgatory, wherever I end up. But very recently, Kim Jong Un is showing some signs of charming behavior. All his photos these days have him shaking hands with his once biggest enemy, the President of South Korea Moon; h

Sudan, The Only F#&@ing Northern White Male Rhino Living On Planet Earth

-
Image
I am actually looking at the globe right now to see where exactly the country of Sudan is situated on Earth. So, Sudan is situated in Northern Africa bordered by Egypt to the north and the Red Sea and Ethiopia to the east. Sudan is a region in the Sahara desert and is popular for its wildlife. So, obviously, the nation's wild animals are threatened by disgusting hunters called humans who go around killing wild animals for pleasure, a photo session, and their horns. That’s all about the nation of Sudan. The Sudan that I am referring to is the one-and-only white male rhino that is left on the planet, who is 45-years old and is really ill, may be on his deathbed. Sudan was registered on Tinder last year as the "most eligible bachelor in the world." This is a campaign launched to save the rhino species. Sudan lives with two other white female rhinos in a zoo in Kenya. Now, these two female rhinos (whose names I do not know) are the only two female white rhinos existi

Why Loyalty is overrated?

-
Image
  Oh, ya, I love this person so much that I will support everything he or she says and can even die for that person. This kind of blind loyalty is what is killing our society and our world. The common person is so blindly in love with another person, a political figure or celebrity that we just start believing what they say and become blind followers. Not only that, in return, our loyalty makes them powerful and wealthy. I was born and raised in Bombay, which is a city on the West Coast of India. There are two large political parties in India namely the Congress and the BJP. I grew up in a household where all the adults in my family supported a political party out of the two large ones. Election after election, they voted for the same party, so much so that when I turned 18 and was eligible to vote, I cast my first vote ever to the same political party that my family voted for over the years, over many generations. I see the same similarity in the United States, where every hous

Thoughts and Prayers + Zero Action = Zero Results

Today’s shooting in a church in Texas made me curious to dig into the number of shootings that have taken the lives of so many innocent people - mostly the middle-class - this year alone. I googled to get the number of people who have died and who were injured from these barbaric incidents and I came across a mass shooting tracking website that has been reporting shooting incidents in the United States since the year 2013. The shocking thing is gun shootings are so common in the United States that we need the help of Data Scientists and Statisticians to help us track and analyze the number of shootings, the number of people murdered, and the number of people injured from these shootings. Sad but true!  I am not here to report the number of gun shootings in America, but, tell me, how can we tolerate more than 500 people dead and more than 1500 injured by gunshots alone in 2017. Like, how are we able to tolerate this without doing anything about it? I absolutely understand if we

U.S. Election 2016: It’s Yuge! It’s bigly!

A monkey called Geda, described locally as “the king of prophets,” kisses the cardboard cutout of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on Nov. 3 in Changsha, China. The selection is intended to predict the result of the U.S. election. (Agence France-Presse/Getty Images) Six hundred days back, we laughed our hearts out when Donald Trump made the announcement that he is running to become the President of the United States. The entertainment industry and the media made millions in TRPs by poking fun on The Donald. The political world, including the Republicans, went berserk over the prospect of Donald Trump running for president. But, the guy who is used to “winning so bigly that he gets bored winning,” ran the race anyway. It is remarkable and shocking how a businessman - with absolutely no experience in politics - who perpetrated so much of hate against immigrants (legal and illegal), Muslims, people of color, women, and Hispanics got the Republican party nomination.

What’s in a Burkini; No, Shakespeare didn’t say that!

Made of 100% polyester, which is the recommended swimwear fabric, burkinis shouldn't have stirred a controversy it did, because it perfectly fits the global recommended swimwear fabric specifications. I agree that every place has its own dress code, and there's also a dress code for swimmers...but a dress code which bans modest dressing is absolute b***s**t. Two pieces, one piece, or no piece bikinis look pretty cool and are comfortable too, but that doesn't give anyone or any government official the right to impose a blanket ban on modest full-piece swimwear. Sorry France, you may be the world’s most fashionable country, but that doesn’t mean you go around minding other people’s clothing line because that’s none of your business. And even more, it doesn’t suit a democratic country that boasts about its freedom and equal rights to be going around telling people how much of skin-show is required to go to the beach…because that makes you no different from the nation that d
