The Erect Penis, Gods of wasukukatalinapati, women of balakalitapathisya and Gender Discrimination

Not allowing women to enter temples while menstruating or forcing them to walk in covered bags with only eyes and nose showing out are all part of a patriarchal social system that needs to be fought against and broken. It does not matter which religion dictates what everything is part of the gender discrimination. The sad part is there are both men and women who support … Continue reading The Erect Penis, Gods of wasukukatalinapati, women of balakalitapathisya and Gender Discrimination

Lives, Emotions, Smiles and Happiness that are just a Selfie Long

And after the … Continue reading Lives, Emotions, Smiles and Happiness that are just a Selfie Long

My New Year Tradition – There is a full bottle left and plenty of glasses to fill :)

Support Photographer Rafeeque whose Studio was burnt down for questioning the Purdah system in Islam

This is Rafeeque Thaliparamba and his news might not get global coverage because it happened somewhere in Kerala and many would think the gravity of the issue is not that big. But this incident is another face of intolerance. It is a slap on the basic human right of every individual to question what any religion prescribes.

Christmas comes from ‘Christ’s Mass’ meaning that people remember the birth of Christ. Now for atheists like me who do not believe in God, I mean kids like me who stopped believing in Santa and then never took on to start believing in another imaginary bearded man up above, what does Christmas really mean?

How Salman are you? Sorry how Human are you? :)

I have no words for people who say ‘I am happy Salman is free, now he can do more good and charity” Either they are stupid or they are blind or both.
