A whistle is blown. And a sudden rush of adrenaline followed by a whizz of boots and bodies diving and swinging is in the air as a less than 500-gram weighing, not more than 70-centimetre, spherical object starts rolling on the ground.  It's the magical moment a sport enthusiast falls in love with any World Cup Football. For ninety to 120 minutes they chase the players with one heart and mind taking different sides. Some might be sitting and watching the game from the stadium, some from home or cafes on TV screens. But their mind run as the players run, they score goals with them and even foul and fight to see off their rivals from the match. There are plenty of football matches across the globe every year but there is nothing like the football carnival in every four years that holds a magical spell. What is the charm of this fight for a air-filled ball? Is it a make-believe battlefield where all the best footballers come together to prove themselves before their fans? Or an...

Is there any link between the horrifying rapes and election results in UP where the pro-Dalit party BSP faced a humiliating defeat at the hands of BJP? Or such incidents were happening even before the elections? If so, why the rape incidents were highlighted soon after the election results? According to media reports, four Dalit girls were raped in different parts of the state. Why Dalit girls were targeted? Who is going to benefit from it? Who wants to prove Dalits are still being targeted in the casteist state? Similar to this, a chain of gangrape cases were reported acoss the country soon after the gruesome Delhi gangrape of a physiotherapy student on December 16, 2012. Not to forget, it was then the One Million Signature anti-rape campaign was in full swing. Are rapes and violence against women are organised crime to create a fear psychosis and thwart the attempts of women progressing and making their voice heard in a patriarchal society? I don't have any evidences to pr...

Are women better imitators than children? I don't have any scientific theories or studies to prove that. But watching women closely and their inquisitiveness to know what other women are doing - from shopping to cooking- it is not difficult to see majority wish to imitate others knowingly, unknowingly. Public transports are the ideal place for hilarious imitations. On a frenzied Thursday night in Dubai, the Metro Train was so packed and a shameless couple started displaying their amorous dalliances. To my surprise, other women with their partners too started cajoling and cuddling, irrespective of their nationality and unmindful of other travellers. As it is Metro Train and the distances between the stations are less, others were spared! Imitation in terms of apparels, make ups or hair do are somewhat understandable, but some are shameless even to  to buy even electronic items from where the other woman has bought it from. As if to certain my doubt, a senior colleague advised ...

Mixing of human race happens only through sex, not through migration. Migration simply kills a sense of unity among people. Living in a place where you find people (expat community)  from across the world, majority seems to be indifferent to someone who doesn't belong to their nationality or religion or race. It is hilarious as well as disturbing to see people in public transportations like buses and metro trains offering seats to people belonging to own nationalities ignoring someone who are standing near to them. The only exceptions is the men from the Middle Eastern countries who even bid you good bye. Inter-racial, inter-religious marriages could help change the situation by raising up children beyond geographical and racial lines.
