CHECK OUT THIS SHORT FILM:

The timing of this short film that I watched just now pretty much sums up the attitude of Indian men, and how we SHOULD be thinking. Quite coincidental considering the article I wrote below. I think the team behind this short film did an absolutely wonderful job. Check out the link:

HYDERABAD ENGINEERING STUDENT GANG-RAPED AND BLACKMAILED

That's the first headline I saw this morning.
Disappointment is what I felt. A 22-year-old student was with her boyfriend in a private area when 2 guys felt the need to record whatever intimate moments they were sharing. Then they confronted the couple, beat the boyfriend and r***d the girl. They then threatened to release the videos/pictures if she went to the authorities.

Stories like this aren't new. And the crux of the problem can be summed up by a moving poster that I saw recently from The Logical Indian. Reports of r**e and sexual abuse will always be pouring in as long as our views (Indian men) don't change. I think the major problem is, there are a lot of guys out there that think about it. Only a few have the courage (aka stupidity) to actually do it. It's their natural mindset to treat girls as sexual objects. And it makes me wonder, why "Nirbhaya's" case created headline news for weeks/months yet countless other stories of r**e related death's land in the middle of the newspaper, if reported at all.
Anyway, check out their page and cause. They are doing great work.

THANK YOU

ALS ICE BUCKET CHALLENGE

In light of the social media phenomenon that has rampaged our Facebook walls the past couple of months, I thought this would be a good opportunity for all of those people who have done the challenge...but don't even know what ALS stands for.

AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS

It's a neuro-degenerative disease with a variety of causes characterized by muscle weakness due to the degeneration of the upper and lower motor neurons.

People affected by ALS eventually lose the ability to initiate and control all voluntary movement.

Most people with ALS die from respiratory failure (the muscles initiating respiration fail), usually within 3-5 years from the onset of symptoms.

There is only one approved treatment: Riluzole that has been found to moderately improve survival rates. But it does not reverse the damage already done to the motor neurons.

All other treatments are simply to attempt to relieve symptoms.

Sure, things look bleak, but they can only get better through ALS research funding.

So even if you've been challenged and you complete it within 24 hours, still go to the ALS Association website and donate.

I hope this has sparked your interest, there is plenty more to read out there...

THANK YOU
