Nosing around other people’s lives!

There are certain times when I really wonder for a few seconds what makes people go on and about someone’s private life. Maybe it’s because you “let” them. In various families it’s a tradition that if you don’t butt in you will not be “heard”, that’s sad. But when it comes to families it’s a different thing, what about Online people? People who have no right to talk about you or your personal life no matter what?

I came across something very funny on the net about my personal life and my closest relatives. It’s sad that someone would go through the pain of:-

  • Creating an account on that platform
  • Then editing the page

What they didn’t realize that their IP is recorded and the website has agreed to give it in exchange for a police report. And that’s easy, as in Norway things go quite smooth when it’s someone defacing your personal life in that matter using the internet.

Why would someone do something such as that?

  • They have no life
  • They have no one they can call their own
  • They are not content with their life
  • They have no sense of self value

What are your views about that? Should people like that be named and shamed or just “hanged” in public.?

The case of Asian women

We often see husbands making their wives do everything for them the only thing they probably might be able to do themselves is breath for themselves. But what is it with various cultures in India and Pakistan that people often drag it along with them after marriage to. What I mean is that they often treat the woman in their life as if she was their servant, making her work do things at home that they too can help with.

I often find it horrible that no matter how much they do they are not appreciated, maybe its how some men are programmed that “no the woman is just to do her job” but who decides what her job is? See the painting on the left by an artist named Nida Aqeel where a woman is holding a glass of water and bowing down to a “male” shirt.

Why do you think the Asian women are seen as the weaker gender by so many men. The problem exists also in non-Asians so nothing new there.

Would love to know from all male and female readers.. take a second and do reply with your views.

Is it OK to give money to beggars?

There have been lots of incidents that I have gone through in Pakistan when little kids come up and ask for money for food or other stuff. Or that’s what they claim it’s for. But due to the massive explosion of organized crime and other such sad bits there are lots of people who emotionally blackmail people to get money out of them. I remember an incident where a kid asked for money in Pakistan, I asked him what he needed it for and he said food… I took him to a restaurant but he refused to go since the money he needed was for something else. So I was thinking is it really OK for those of us that give money to kids to just stop and end this whole chain of begging or let it continue so those that really need it get the help?

Inder, one of the blog readers mentioned this topic so let’s see what you guys would do and would you ever stop giving money to beggars?

Men who hit women?

What are your views on guys that hit women. I mean its the silliest and stupidest thing they can do no matter how you look at it. Most of the times guy are very close to their mothers, but when they are talking to the mother of “their” children they tend to forget how lovely this relation is.

I can’t recall any guy being “loved” by everyone around him for being such a way to his wife. But still guys tend to show off when they are kind of “tough” on their wives, as I often see in dramas and movies which usually are reflection of the society we live in. Why is it such?

So what kind of treatment should be given to a guy such as that? What about the women who hit men?
