The greatest sin of all is being female in India. That is what we lead women who face assault to believe.
So one person “gets raped”, gets thrown out and undergoes a trauma that about 50 people undergo in India every day. And suddenly every rape case from every corner of the country makes it to the headlines. And then start the opinions and sermons.
How dare the girl walk around after 10 pm, she deserved it, she invited it. Of course, how stupid of us not to realize that the safest way to remain safe is stay indoors after dark. Although I am not sure how this piece of advice would have helped the lady who was molested in daylight in a moving car, by a person known to her, and dumped near Kalkaji.
How dare we wear tight jeans, or tops that show that teeny bit of our shoulder or mid-riff? Don’t we know that there are men who are aroused by anything that is not shrouded from head to foot. It’s a pity the 4-year old kid in Hyderabad didn’t know that; if she did, she could have saved herself.
Tip for those who are being raped, be submissive. (Isn’t that what you have been taught as a woman all these years). It’ll help you save your intestines! So even if you know some self-defense tactics, make sure you forget them.
Do not go out at night, and don’t ever go out with male friends. After all, there is hardly any difference in being with a boyfriend or male friends and being with male strangers.
And God forbid, if after all these “precautions” you are unlucky enough to “get raped”, you can be sure that the next day’s headlines will read “x-year old female raped in ABC city” and not “x-year old man rapes in ABC city”.

While marriage brings with it its own set of responsibilities for both partners, it is often the woman who needs to so all the adjustments.
For a 25-year-old women — who tied the knot in March-2014 — the love come arranged marriage brought with it a new city, and also the “responsibility of managing household chores“.
Prior to her marriage, she learned to cook after marriage as her husband “doesn’t cook”.
“I struggled and my husband used to tell me that it would turn out better the next time. Now, I am much a better cook,” said the mother to a three-and-a-half-month-old, who chose to work from home after marriage.
Jaane Jaan is a great standalone flick, but a lot of it could have been handled better, and from the POV of the main character.
Jaane Jaan is a thriller streaming on Netflix and is adapted from Keigo Higashino’s book, ‘The Devotion of Suspect X’. I found the film to be riveting, with a nail-biting build-up. However, in my personal opinion, the climax and the treatment of the female lead was a letdown.
Disclaimer: I haven’t read the book yet, and I am not sure how true the adaptation has stayed to the source material.
(SPOILERS AHEAD. Please read after you watch the movie if you are planning to)
