PINK THE MOVIE .... When a girl says NO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



PINK is a real brave bollywood movie that brings out one of the most pressing issues of our country. The movie rebukes the Indian mindset of treating the boys and girls differently and  definitely brings a new and corrected perception to the modern Independent Indian girls . And it clearly imposes the fact when a girl says NO,it’s a clear NO. You cannot force yourself on her without her consent, no matter she is a virgin or not. It’s her right to decide on her desirability and sensuality. Advocate Deepak Sehgal played by Mr.Bachchan brings out and challenges some rules that the society entrust on an Independent Single girl.(As per our society,All these makes her a slut or a whore.)

  • She shouldn’t laugh and cheerfully talk to a friend. 
  • She shouldn’t party or  have drinks with her friends.
  •  She shouldn’t bring boys to their homes even if  they are just friends.
  •  She shouldn’t wear jeans,t-shirts or skirts.
  •  She shouldn’t  come home late at night.

The male antagonist is from a rich and politically influential family and tactically skew the legal issues against the girls. He has done most of his education outside.Still his perception is that women from well-to-do families will not drink,they will not party but just attend family gatherings and he stresses out  ‘aisi ladkiyon ke saath toh aisa hi hota hai’.

The movie also curbs with whom our girls are safe. The girls go out with 3 boys of them one is a school friend of Meenal (Tapsee).A friend or a confidante whom she might have known for years and would have trusted that he will never bring her any harm.


Finally Mr.Sehgal helps the girls sue the boys who have disrupted their normal life. The movie emphasizes a women’s right to own her sexuality even she is not a virgin. Intercourse should be of mutual consent and when she is groped or grabbed and is provoked, it is righteous to go to any extent to protect herself.

The movie sends a strong message to the audience and hope will have some impact(on atleast few ).

Arippa trip

This​ post has been lying in my drafts for so long unfinished and I've decided to complete it today.My last trip in December 2016 was one of the most exhilarating and one of the highlights was our forest interlude at Arippa wild life sanctuary. It was full fun and frolic. Little had I heard about Arippa before being there,  and am glad that I got to explore one of the little explored forests with my favorite people. The best part about travelling with  your cousins is that you can just be yourself ,do whatever you want without worrying about offending anybody; dance your heart out, behave crazily ,and anything. With a 1 year old, traveling to the woods can get you skeptical, but little Rey enjoyed every minute of it with so many care takers around.  Enjoying the river bath Arippa is a low land evergreen forest about 60 kms from Kollam enroute thiruvananthapuram . We had options to stay in the hilltop bungalow jyotishmati or in the tents. We decided to cam...

When breath becomes air!!!

I haven't read many memoirs before. I found this one by Paul Kalanithi profoundly poignant of courage, dedication, love and loss. Paul was diagnosed with lung cancer at the age of 36 when he was completing the last year of his Neurosurgery residency and after 22 months, he died in March 2015 while his daughter Cady was just 8 months old. Paul had earned degrees in Literature,Biology and Medicine from Ivy league universities and aspired to be a Neurosurgeon-scientist and as a writer. A gifted doctor,a brilliant scientist,a passionate writer,a loving son, brother ,husband and father .. numerous were the role he played and I believe he played all of these roles flawlessly well. Throughout the book , I was amazed by his wisdom and the myriads of books he would have read. He replaced his love for literature and ambition to be a writer with neurosurgery to do something tangible by saving lives.After years of grueling residency and long hours at work, Paul and his wife Lucy was going th...

Happy 2nd birthday my darling

Dear  Kunju, Even before we knew you were born, you are two . It was on Friday March 6th 2015 that we came to know you have sprouted inside me, our perfectly planned absolute God sent gift. From then, till now and forward , we know that you will be the most precious of everything we have.You are our life.... Our world literally revolves around you. Ever since you came up, our life has been ebullient and cheerful. From the ' paavam ' new born to the naughty toddler you have evolved a lot. At times, it make me sad to realize that I can't rock you on my lap anymore,carry on my arms to let u sleep. But I have really enjoyed every phase of that. If it wasn't for you, I would not have had the scariest C-section, the yucky moringa leaves soup(it literally tasted shit), the ' netholi ' curry, lots and lots of ' kurukke ' (ayurvedic medicines given to women after delivery to resuscitate their health  and to feed the baby ). Though it was heart breakin...
