So we have banned porn in our country…
Good!
Can someone also recommend locking down our ancient temples please. The nude figurines may have the same ‘bad influence’ on our fragile minds.
Oh! and before that.. we need to ensure that ‘The Times Of India’ is stopped from being circulated. The pictures they publish are worse than any porn magazine!

“Momma, today I was unconscious in the class.”
Sounds so dreadful, isn’t it? You can imagine why I almost had a heart attack when I heard these words coming from Diya. I slumped in the sofa and managed to ask her about what happened and how.

Surprised that no one has got dysentery yet!

A recent BBC article, ‘Why Motherhood Makes Indian Women Quit Their Jobs’ (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-32377275), examines the factors that prompt large numbers of women to drop out of India’s workforce.

Liberalization has indeed opened up opportunities for an entire cohort of young urban women who work in IT, outsourcing, hospitality, media, beauty parlours, cafes, and malls.
