Watching porn a 'worldwide phenomenon'!

So, it is official now. Everyone wants to watch porn stuff, come what may.  According to a report that appeared in Daily Mail, no matter how much risk it may involve, a lot of people watch pornography in offices. The report quotes a German expert who has claimed millions of people are surreptitiously viewing porn at the workplace.

The German sex therapist Christoph Ahlers was quoted as saying that around 60 million people log on to the world's largest free porn website everyday – and two-thirds of those are doing so from their desks.


Berlin-based Ahlers made the claim at a conference in Salzburg, Austria, on medicine and therapies for the treatment of sexual
behavioural issues.

"Modern viewing of porn is no longer something in which strange individuals are engaged in quiet rooms in video booths," he was quoted as saying. And porn watchers, nothing to be shy about watching it, for Ahlers says watching porn is now a "worldwide phenomenon".

Teens are always on Facebook!


In a startling revelation, a recent survey shows that Indian teens spend 86 per cent of their time daily on Facebook followed by 54 per cent on Twitter!


If you thought you were the only the parent who racks your brain over how to get your a teenage boy or girl out of Facebook addiction, you are wrong! You are one among millions of such parents across India. According to a latest survey, Indian teens spend 86 per cent of their time daily on Facebook followed by 54 per cent on Twitter!
It is found that around 45% of the teens surveyed use smart phones to access the Internet and on average open an account on Facebook by age 13, according to a survey conducted by McAfee last week.
McAfee's 'Secret Lives of Teens' survey says 97 per cent of teens have access to social network, while there is a growing digital divide between teens and their parents. "This divide is attributed to the fact that Indian teens are growing up as digital natives, with increasingly active online lives but lack  of parental assistance," the survey said.
The survey was carried out in seven cities -- Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Pune and Chennai. A sample size of 757 teenagers and 750 parents were included in the survey.
The report says that close to half of surveyed teens (45 per cent) are now using their smart phones for internet access. It says there is an evident discrepancy between parental perception and actual reality regarding the online activities of the teenagers.

While parental concerns prevail, teens do end up sharing more dangerous information online, contrary to their parents’ belief, the survey said
 and added that 89 per cent of teens believe social network is safe whereas parents are less believing at 71 per cent.
The survey said 38 per cent teens have witnessed cruel behavior online, whereas only 16 per cent parents are aware of this. 87 per cent of this behaviour has been noticed on Facebook, 31 per cent on
Twitter and 23 per cent on email by teens.

War on Men


Yes, men have done enough. I agree with Suzanne Venker. In his opinion piece for Fox News, "The War on Men," Venkar made it plain. Men are in big trouble. The world has changed. Modern society does not have space for men, it’s women everywhere.
Hey fellow men, we should have been alerted when Christina Hoff Sommers wrote The War Against Boys way back in 2000 that we were going to be end up soup. But we didn’t. And then Hanna Rosin said the same in her The End of Man. And now comes Venker’s outbursts.
The irony is despite the efforts of three generations of feminists, men still earn more than women. Yet he has been hurt, badly hurt. According to Pew Research Center, the share of women aging from eighteen to thirty-four that say having a successful marriage is one of the most important things in their lives rose nine percentage points since 1997 – from 28 percent to 37 percent. For men, the opposite occurred. The share voicing this opinion dropped, from 35 percent to 29 percent.
The fact of the matter is modern women want to get married whereas men don’t. Yes, it’s obvious that some women have serious trouble finding a man that they want to marry. But Venker says that it’s women who are to be blamed. Women aren’t women anymore.
According to a fellow blogger, women are no longer women, but she-demons, who come from the great land across the sea. They do not love, but rather devour their mates, bones and all. Who could love such a creature?
He says that contrary to what feminists like Hanna Rosin, author of The End of Men, say, the so-called rise of women has not threatened men. It has pissed them off. It has also undermined their ability to become self-sufficient in the hopes of someday supporting a family. Men want to love women, not compete with them. They want to provide for and protect their families – it’s in their DNA. But modern women won’t let them.

Save the wetlands of Bengal!

The magnificent flora and fauna that once were abundant in the wetland of India are fast diminishing. Several wildlife species are endangered, they are on the verge of extinct.
There was a time when leopards, tigers, elephants, river terrapins and many more used to flourish on the wetlands of Bengal, but unfortunately due to the heavy influx of migrants and infrastructure in the name of development has spelled doom.   

The wetlands have been rapidly disappearing for years. All in the name of people and development- it is high time to tell the state government to protect the wetlands.

Wetlands are crucial for wildlife, but they do so much more to help people too. They lessen the destructive power of floods, absorb carbon emissions and filter pollutants out of the water. Laws exist to protect wetlands, but they're rarely enforced. If we don't act now, scientists think they'll be gone by 2030.

If you want to tell the state government to protect the remaining wetlands for wildlife and humans to prevent ecological disaster, join Care2’s petition site.

Below goes the petition to Ms Mamta Banarjee, Chief Minister of West Bengal, sponsored by Judith B, being signed now:

“Bengal is a region of productive agricultural land and rich biodiversity, with its wildlife including fishing cats, leopards, tigers, the river terrapin, the Himalayan salamander, elephants and hundreds of different birds. The survival of its wildlife and ecosystems, and in turn agriculture, depends on its natural wetlands. These wetlands, however, have been disappearing rapidly.
During the 1970s and 80s, a huge number of natural wetlands were filled in for development as people migrated from the newly independent Bangladesh. They still are disappearing and scientists predict that they will all be gone by 2030 unless action is taken.
The wetlands not only support an abundance of wild animals and plants, with the possibility for developing ecotourism, they also provide vital ecosystem services, including flood mitigation, carbon absorption and the filtering of pollutants. Letting the last ones go would be an ecological disaster.
Although laws exist to preserve wetland habitats, they are rarely enforced.
Tell the state government to take action immediately on this increasingly urgent issue.
Below goes the link for you to sign.

Artistes arrested for ‘gay’ Jesus play in Greece



In the first place, I don’t know why someone wants to portray Jesus as gay. That is not my concern. But why the Church makes a hue and cry when such a thing happens is of course something that I would like to think about.
Nikos Kazantzakis was in the dock for his controversial novel ‘The Last Temptation of Jesus Christ’ and so was Salman Rushdie for his ‘Satanic Verses’. World-renowned Indian artist M F Hussein was often targeted by right-wing Hindus for his portrayal of Hindu goddesses in nude.
A director, actors and a producer who staged an American play depicting Jesus and his disciples as gay were arrested in Greece. Charges of blasphemy have been filed against them. Athens had imposed a ban on the controversial play “Corpus Christi” after weeks of daily protests by priests from Greece’s Orthodox Church, members of the far-right party, the Golden Dawn, and other right-wing protesters earlier this month. My fellow blogger Kristina Chew says that these demonstrations and the blasphemy charges, filed by Bishop Seraphim of Piraeus, are all more signs of a rise in right-wing sentiment in Greece, also evidenced in reports of violent attacks on immigrants and the government’s implementation of its “Xenios Zeus” policy, a crackdown on illegal immigrants.
Albanian-born Laertis Vasiliou, who directed the play was reported to have expressed disbelief that authorities have made such a huge issue about the play. It may be remembered that Greece is struggling hard to tide over the economic crisis that prevails in the country, unemployment and other issues.
Though no specific date for a trial for the director Vasiliou and the others has yet been set, if convicted, they could face sentences of several months.
According to Reuters, the lawsuit against those involved in the “Corpus Christi” production follows the arrest of a 27-year-old man who created a Facebook page that mocked a deceased Orthodox monk. These incidents indicate a right-wing turn in the country, also apparent when Greek state TV censored a kiss between two men while airing a segment of the British period drama “Downton Abbey” in October, reports the agency.

Southern siren crosses 1 million mark on Facebook

Superstar and heart throb of South, Kajal Aggarwal who is known for movies like Singham and the recently released super hit Thupakki, has crossed the one million fans milestone on her official Facebook page, making her the first female lead actor from South India to do so.

What sets Kajal apart is her true endeavor to reach out to her fans extensively through the use of social media platform – Facebook.  Kajal shares images and videos, and also updates her status feed to engage in real-time conversations with her huge fan-base.

Kajal says, “I think Facebook is a great platform to connect with my fans and interact with them. Facebook has just got the world so much closer and conversations flow so easily. Social Media is a very good medium for actors to express their views and share a slice of their life with their fans. While for fans, it is another way of getting a little more up-close and personal with any personality that they admire. Also through my Facebook page I get so many reviews and feedback on my movies, roles, acting and style that it really sometimes makes me aware of my strengths and weaknesses as an actor.  I do personally interact with my fans, as and when time permits I also reply to their comments and post pictures regularly.”

Kajal’s Facebook page has several images and video links and her recent activities include sharing of exclusive images, and status updates on her recent visit to the International Film Festival of India in Goa where she was present for the inauguration of the event.

Stop overfishing, lest they will extinct



Fishing has been on the rise like never before in Indian seas, and it is time to raise our voice. People generally tend to overlook issues like this: but the fact is disturbing. Commercial fish like tuna and halibut are caught, processed and packaged at record speeds by large, factory like ships in Indian waters.

The huge ships arrive from everywhere and catch fish in large numbers, freeze, clean and package at one go! In the process, these ships are wrecking the fauna of the seas. They've severely damaged the ocean's remaining fish populations.

According to experts, overfishing upsets the balance of marine ecosystems to the point of destruction. In an attempt make the best of the occupation, governments offer subsidies and logistic support to these mammoth ships that are innumerable.

Yes, fish population in Indian seas is at the threat of extinction. Fish cannot repopulate quickly. And looking at the speed in which fish have been caught in large numbers, it is apparent that the seas will lose their ecological balance.

It requires time for fish and at least give them ample time to flourish their tribes. If the huge ships are allowed to continue operating in the same fashion, the depleting fish population will completely disappear.

Sharad Pawarjee! Do something to stop overfishing and restore balance to the sea's ecosystem as early as possible…

Malala inspires Pak to start girls’ schools


There is good news from Pakistan, something very rare. If 15-year-old Malala Yousafzai was brutally shot at by Taliban for campaigning for education for girls in the Swat Valley, Taliban’s fortress, it yielded fruits in neighbouring Pakistan. According to a report appeared in Express Tribune last week, Pakistan is mulling to establish “Malala Schools” for poor children in sixteen areas in the country.

Well, that is something Muslim girls in Pakistan can cheer about. Nafisa Shah, chairwoman of the National Commission for Human Development, was quoted as saying that the schools would be located in areas affected by conflict or natural disasters. “The goal is for the schools to provide some education for both girls and boys in areas where such opportunities are severely limited. Each school will have two classrooms with a veranda, a toilet and space to expand its buildings,” she was quoted.

Each school will cost 800,000 Pakistan rupees (about $8,336). The Pakistani government has identified where the schools will be located and has started the process of locating funds.

That means Taliban’s idea of shooting teenage education campaigner to scare girls away from going to school proved the other way round. People from across the globe are inspired by the brave girl.

Meanwhile, good news for Malala who survived the shooting and now recovering in a UK hospital! According to Guardian, Canada’s four largest political parties and people around the globe are also calling for Malala to receive a Nobel Peace Prize. If she, by any chance gets it, she would be the youngest one to receive the world’s most prestigious award.

Generous God, aged mother and loving me!


That is called vagaries of God. I have been getting this strong urge to give up my most notorious habit, my longtime companion, the balm of my hurt mind, great nature’s main course for me– booze! But then, the second thought about it shudders me the most.

It was a couple of years ago, my mother in her mid-seventies, came to visit the city.  Like any other devout Hindu of her age, she too is passionate about visiting shrines.

As part of her temple itinerary, I took her to a famous temple on the outskirts of  the city, fondly called the abode of ‘VISA God’, for his generosity in grating the wishes of US aspirants in the State. I cautioned my mother not to make any wishes as the God here is so peculiar in nature that He wants the beneficiaries to come back and make 108 rounds around the temple once the wish is granted.

We had a tough time having the darshan of Lord among thousands of others and managed to come out. Everything was fine until my mother declared that she too made a wish. Oh Lord, pardon her she did not know what she did! And out of curiosity I asked her what was her wish. To my utter relief, she said he asked the God to make me stop boozing!

I said ok, you would never need to take 108 rounds of the temple. And over the past two years her arthritis worsened and was hospitalized twice and is advised to take bed rest most of the time. I am sure if she knows that I am quitting the habit, she would sure insist to come here and do that perilous task of taking rounds of the temple.

It will sure make her more ill and God may do a miracle, but I am not sure.

I love my mother very much. So guys, I am not quitting my habit of drinking, I am gonna keep my companion closer to my heart. I am gonna resume my longtime chore as usual. Wish me all the bests!

General’s mistress or Petraeus’ lover?



It is General David Petraeus’ resignation as head of the CIA is trading now. Media is all abuzz and busy putting all the blame on Paula Broadwell and casting aspersions on Petraeus’ ‘mistress’. It is sad that media houses are busy debating marital infidelity in a language that upholds sexist roles.

General Petraeus’ story could have been a simple enough news item. That he made a mistake and now repents. He loved Broadwell and betrayed his wife and his colleagues. But he regrets and is calling it quits. He never blamed anyone, but he took it himself.

Media is assassinating Broadwell’s character. Publications and broadcasting units are questioning her motives of work. “This framing is sometimes so subtle and feels so normal that we don’t even see it, yet it affects not only how we see Petraeus and Broadwell but also how we see all men and women involved in the institution of marriage,” says Kimberly Dark, a popular American performing artiste and writer, in an article published in Ms Magazine.

Dark says that at first glance, Petraeus and Broadwell seem to have a lot in common, though their stories will unfold very differently as a result of their sexual relationship. “Both are West Point graduates with a penchant for high-level athletic pursuits, a history of military service and a laudable record of accomplishments. His are well known, and though she is a generation behind him in age, she is a Harvard Research Fellow, will soon receive a Ph.D. and has researched and written a book about Petraeus–an accomplishment that should remain undimmed by her romantic relationship with him. But he is being portrayed as the fallen giant and she as the selfish slayer of his career, as well as a potential Mata Hari-like character,” he says.

Unfortunately, no report seems concerned about what will happen to her career as a result of his choice to disclose their relationship. It is unfortunate that nobody portrays them as lovers but terms Broadwell as Petraeus’ mistress.  Why everyone wants to distort facts while everyone knows that we are speaking about two consenting adults who chose to have sex.

Dark says: “Couples are entitled to make their own personal arrangements regarding fidelity and relationships with friends and family. Sex outside of marriage is nothing new and need not always represent a marital tragedy. To assume that it does, and that one man’s wife became another man’s mistress, as the public language of this story often states, reifies women’s position as property. Scott Broadwell becomes a cuckold–a man from whom something has been taken by another man. There is no potential that the Broadwells are working out the terms of their relationship as they see fit, as adults and equals would do.”

Love is love, whether the lovers are married to others or unmarried.

Of marriages and mating strategies



Now after silently watching all the big, fat weddings, both Indian and international, certain thoughts are creeping into my mind. How long do most of these marriages last?
If you stop to crosscheck, the answer will be disappointing. Most of the much-hyped marriages turned out to last only for a brief period.
It is in this context, fellow blogger Samantha’s question looks like appropriate. “Does the entire wedding industry these days seem like one big racket to you?”
Yes, Samantha, it does for me. Millions of dollars have been spent. A lot of oohs and ahs are being made over the gemstones and jewelries. Think of the amount you spent on the occasion of a big, fat wedding where you were one of the important invitees.
According to experts, just in the US, only 40 percent of marriages last. In India, it is believed that people in general are monogamous. Yes, socially, but not of course sexually. Samantha in her post mentioned about anthropologist Ulrich H Reichard’s book, Monogamy: Mating Strategies and Partnerships in Birds, Humans and Other Mammals. Ulrich defines social monogamy as “a male and female’s social living arrangement (e.g., shared use of a territory, behaviour indicative of a social pair, and/or proximity between a male and female) without inferring any sexual interactions or reproductive patterns,” and further establishes that for humans specifically, “social monogamy equals monogamous marriage.” He characterizes sexual monogamy as “an exclusive sexual relationship between a female and a male based on observations of sexual interactions.”
So, monogamy is only in principle. A majority of married men are unfaithful to their spouses. And if you thought all women are so loyal, you are wrong. A good number of women are adulterous too.
Samantha says that statistically, men are more likely to be unfaithful to their spouses than women are, though married women’s track record is far from squeaky-clean overall.

Oscar Meets Filmfare









Pegasystems, one of the leading software solutions provider companies in India celebrated completion of five glorious years in India with an enthralling ‘Oscar Meets Filmfare’ theme night at N-Convention Center on Friday, 9th November 2012.

The celebrations also included welcoming of associates from the recently launched Bangalore facility along with their families and the occasions marked their integration into the Pega India family.

The theme ‘Oscar meets Filmfare’ induced elements of Hollywood and Bollywood style in all aspects such as costumes, the dances etc. The theme also signified fusion of cultures and traditions both in the film industry as well as in the corporate environment.

The celebrations began with a grand musical entry of Mr. Suman Reddy Vice President and Managing Director, Pegasystems, on James Bond theme followed by his impactful performance on a hit number from the Bollywood blockbuster ‘Dabangg’.

We shall continue to look forward to enhancing growth and success in future”.

The event then progressed towards a mix of entertainment acts performed by Pega associates. The night witnessed some scintillating song and dance performances on fusion music titled as ‘Retro to Metro’ and famous numbers from Hollywood and Bollywood such as Britney Spears’ ‘One more Time’, Michael Jackson’s ‘dangerous’ to songs like ‘Tumhi ho Bandhu’ from Cocktail and ‘Pani Da’ from Vicky Donor. This star studded night concluded over an elaborate delectable dinner. This year’s annual day festivities saw participation from close to 1400 people including Pega Hyderabad and Bangalore associates and their families, who took part in all the activities with great enthusiasm.

Huts torched to avenge ‘forbidden’ marriage


Even as the whole world is crying foul about the growing racism across the globe, here in the East comes the report of yet another macabre incident propelled by obnoxious racist elements.

In a gruesome act of racial spitefulness, an unruly mob of Hindu fanatics torched hundreds of houses belonged to Dalits (of the Adi-Dravida community) in three colonies near Naikkankottai, a small hamlet in Dharmapuri district of western Tamil Nadu in Southern India.

The Hindus’ fury left the entire Dalit community terrorized and shocked. As many as 268 huts were set ablaze by the mob. It all began when a Hindu man named Nagarajan allegedly committed suicide over his daughter falling in love with and marrying a Dalit boy who hailed from one of those colonies.

According to reports, there was no casualty as occupants of the houses escaped and took shelter in another village. Ninety persons were arrested and cases registered against another 500 “unidentified” persons, say the reports.

And the love story that led to the horrific incident: A 23 year old Dalit boy Ilavarasan fell in love with a 20 year old Hindu girl Divya. Despite strong opposition, both of them got married a month ago and approached the police for protection fearing attacks from Hindus.

A kangaroo court was convened and it was decided that the girl should return to her parents which she refused. Following this the girl’s father committed suicide.
According to reports, an angry mob entered the Dalit colonies and set ablaze the dwellings indiscriminately.

And this is India, the land of ancient wisdom!

Hurricane Sandy leaves lasting scar












Hurricane Sandy battered the mid-Atlantic region with powerful gusts and storm surges that cause epic flooding in the coastal communities of New Jersey, New York and Connecticut, knocking down trees and power lines and leaving more than eight million people – including large parts of Manhattan – in the rain-soaked dark. The mammoth storm packed maximum sustained winds of 80 mph. Those powerful winds, driving rain and storm surge are blamed for 98 deaths in the United States (although numbers still vary), including two small boys who were swept out of their mother’s arms. The toll of the storm is staggering, including a rampaging fire that reduced more than 100 houses to ash in Breezy Point, Queens. New Jersey took the brunt, officials estimating that the state suffered many billions of dollars in property damage. Residents began the long, slow process of recovery.

Sexism, misogyny raise ugly heads



Shobha De was at her sarcastic best when she sneered at Sunanda Tharoor  in one of her several weekly columns while justifying Narendra Modi’s disparaging remarks of ’50 crore girlfriend’.
Well, it is most unlikely for a columnist like De to look down upon a fellow female, given the fact that De herself has been victim of sexism and misogyny several time. (She told me once about people turning too nosy about her ‘sexy’ write-ups).

Why should De be so blissful when a son of a bitch tries to grope Sunanda and gets tight slaps for the job?

Maybe she is too attracted to Modi. Or so jealous of Sunanda for being Shashi Tharoor’s invaluable lady love. The Union Minister has always been any woman’s dream man at any given point of time, not just in India, but across the globe.

One can understand Modi’s frustration and his misogyny. We know he is getting frantic about the diplomat turned politician’s wealth – emotional, intellectual and material.

But De should have respected another woman. She should have extended unconditional support to Sunanda. But she didn’t.  She is one wicked woman, Shobha DE.

There are women with spine and guts. They don’t advocate sexism and misogyny. They boldly fight it. Australia’s Prime Minister Julia Gillard is for one.  “I will not be lectured about sexism and misogyny by this man. Not now, not ever,”she thundered, earlier this month, coming down heavily upon Tony Abbott, the leader of the Opposition Liberal Party.

Her angry rhetoric was during a debate on a debate about whether the speaker of the house, Peter Slipper, should resign for sending lurid text messages denigrating women to a former member of staff.

All woman haters around the world, you are as silly as King Fahd University to state that allowing women to drive would “provoke a surge in prostitution, pornography, homosexuality and divorce.”

No one dies; death is an illusion



All these while, I have been under the impression that the whole life is an illusion and it really doesn’t exist. Not only that, my impression was that the entire universe is an illusion and there is nothing like this ever existed. But now I tend to change my mind, especially after reading an article written by Robert Lanza, MD, Biocentrism.
Quoting Albert Einstein, he begins with the conclusion - death is an illusion.
Well, the common perception is that the world has an independent existence. Majority of people think life is just the activity of carbon and an admixture of molecules – all creatures live for a while and then die and rot into the ground.
What Lanza is trying to say is we believe in death just because we’ve been taught that we die one day and no one is an exception to this rule.  It is just because we associate ourselves with our body. Yes, bodies do die, but we don’t.
And that is this new theory – biocentrism – is all about. Death of a human body is not the end of the story. It is end of just another chapter of an unending fiction.
Lanza says, “Amazingly, if you add life and consciousness to the equation, you can explain some of the biggest puzzles of science. For instance, it becomes clear why space and time – and even the properties of matter itself – depend on the observer. It also becomes clear why the laws, forces, and constants of the universe appear to be exquisitely fine-tuned for the existence of life. Until we recognize the universe in our heads, attempts to understand reality will remain a road to nowhere.”
It all about what we feel.  Perhaps what we see around us may not be in the form an colour that we perceive. You see a blue sky, but the cells in your brain could be changed so the sky looks green or red.  According to Lanza, with a little genetic engineering we could probably make everything that is red vibrate or make a noise, or even make you want to have sex like with some birds. “You think its bright out, but your brain circuits could be changed so it looks dark out. You think it feels hot and humid, but to a tropical frog it would feel cold and dry. This logic applies to virtually everything. Bottom line: What you see could not be present without your consciousness,” he says.
Yes, our eyes can’t all things in the world. Whatever you think you see, hear, smell, taste or feel are information passed on by the brain. In the same way, space and time are simply tools of our mind. When there is nothing called space and time, where is death then?
After the death of a human body, the person will go to some new world that his dead body never understood.
Lanza says: Life is an adventure that transcends our ordinary linear way of thinking. When we die, we do so not in the random billiard-ball-matrix but in the inescapable-life-matrix. Life has a non-linear dimensionality – it’s like a perennial flower that returns to bloom in the multiverse.
