The double standards between men and women, that society deems as "vital" when it come to virginity.
The double standards between men and women, that society deems as “vital” when it come to virginity.
Have you popped your cherry?
Have you swiped your v card?
Why do you not straight away ask me, dearie?
If I have lost my virginity or wait, may be you find it hard?
Well, it is surely none of your business,
Yet, I take great pleasure to tell you – Your highness!
Have you ever heard of the day when she had ‘taken the virginity of a man’?
Why do you only say that she lost her cherry to a man?
His companions told him – Shed your virginity boss, it will add to your masculinity.
But be wise, as you should have the honor of breaking her hymen, after all my friends – it’s your dignity!
Does it not sound like, holding the weapon, he is the hunter?
If she has lost it before marriage, she is a slut and no way purer,
Does it not sound like she, the coy mistress, is the prey?
If he has not yet lost it – sorry Mister, your son is gay.
It is not just about sex,
It is also about sexism,
For if a male has not yet lost it,
In the alpha male contest, he is a huge misfit.
The demure virgin women are loudly praised,
And against their “Spoilt” counterparts, red flags are raised.
It is strange to see ourselves living on a land of contrasts,
Where Kama Sutra and erotic historical structures still stand tall from the past.
If you think the hymen is the bargaining chip for marriage,
It is time your brain undergoes a litmus check for the disparage.
Dowry seems to be a perfect dream you are living in,
But for you, dear self proclaimed legends, a non virgin bride is a carnal sin!

Children should be taught to aspire to be successful, but success doesn't have to mean an IIT admission only!
Imagine studying for 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 whole years for the JEE exam only to find out that there’s only a very, very slim chance of getting into an IIT. It is a fact widely acknowledged that the IIT-JEE is one of the toughest exams not just in India but in the whole world. Apart from IITs, the NITs and IIITs of India also accept the JEE scores for admission. There are said to be a total of 23 IITs, 31 NITs and 25 IIITs across the country.
Now, let’s first get a few facts about the IITs right. First, according to the NIRF rankings of 2023, only 17 IITs rank in the top 50 engineering colleges of India and only a few (around 5) IITs are in the list of the world’s top 100 engineering colleges. Second, the dropout rate of IIT-qualifying students stands at least at 20%, with reasons being cited ranging from academic pressure and unmanageable workload to caste discrimination and high levels of competition within the IIT.
So, it’s quite clear that the journey of making it through IIT is as challenging as the journey of getting into an IIT. Third and most important of all, the acceptance rate or the odds of getting into an IIT are below 3% which is a lot lower than the acceptance rate of highly and very highly ranked US universities. Four, getting into an IIT of one’s choice doesn’t mean one will also get into a branch of one’s preference at that IIT.
