I could not control my laughter after reading comments of political leaders on dressing sense of women. Several statements have been reported from leaders and other officials that women should wear traditional uniforms to be safe from criminal activities.

The recent comment of MP state minister Babula Gaur on dressing sense of women in India has been criticized by women of the state. City ladies asked minister Gaur about the rape cases reported in villages where women use to be under veil or a year old girl child who has been brutally raped by people at several places.

Babulal Gaur said that officers of Chennai informed him that ladies in Chennai are religious and they wore traditional attire due to which crime rate in the city is comparatively lower. Gaur said that women in foreign countries wear jeans and T-shirts, dance with other men and even drink liquor, but that is their culture. It is good for them but not for India, where only our traditions and culture are ok. He said, India must not ape the foreign culture otherwise they would not protect women. 

It is really ridicules comment. If dressing sense has something to do with crime against women, western country should have much more rape and other crimes. Rather than making comments on such things, men should have control on their otherwise they should go to jungle.

 “Clothes have nothing to do with crime rate against women in India. Men should improve their thoughts and respect the women,” said MP state women commission chairman Upma Rai. She further said that if men would think well, behave well.

Presenting example of some recent incidents in Madhya Pradesh, city women said that lots of rape cases have been reported from rural areas where women use to be under veil. Even a year old girl child is continuously being raped in our country. Most of the women in city say, rather than commenting on attire male should have some respect for females.

Dr Ruma Bhattacharya, psychologist by profession says that in India we worship several Goddesses like Saraswati, Laxmi, Durga etc then how can we make such comments on female. She further suggested, “Men should go to jungle, if they do not have control on their mind.”

If clothes are reason for crime, what to do with girl child? Everyday rape cases are being reported from villages where women use to be in veil. Even a year old girl is not safe from rape incident. It seems that women are not free to tread in India as frequently people comment on their uniform as well as freedom to go anywhere.

Cycling is really good

Gone are the days when people use cycle for daily transportation. Although cycling is good for our health but now-a-day it can be seen at selected place only including the Gym.

From the very obvious thing of reaching the destination faster and in a more eco friendly way in synchronizing with the nature it is a win-win situation. Moreover, the calf muscles, arm muscles as well as the straight back gives you that extensive exercise regime you have since long been craving for and yet did not find the time to hit the gym.

Moreover, to the joy of the youngsters cycling has also grown both as a sport and a style statement. The new bicycles equipped with all sorts of appliances like better grip and break, lights, gear and stylish look the new age cycles have not necessarily brought the good old time back but have given a more glamorous and starry resurrection to the age of cycle that was.

One of the best reasons of cycling is ‘no-fuel’ but the determination of the rider himself to move forth. In this age of personal and global scarcity of petrol and diesel, cycle provides a much cheaper alternative to meet the purpose with little needed to spend after in its up keeping and caring.

So, while you are doing good to your muscles as well as the mother nature good, you are equally saving a great deal in your pockets to treat yourself with  a book you have since long been yearning to read with the very same money you saved and trust me the amount is going to be high.

But now in the modern age, people like to ride motorbike and car which cost expensive fuel and result lots of pollution as well. Our lazy habit in day to day activity is making as physically unable and ill health. It was a time when people use to walk for kilo meters and did their daily task himself but now as much the technology and modern technique are on rise, people are becoming ill.

The last reason I find people should opt for this vintage style long ride is that in this age of utter hurry, you can hop on the bicycle with your friends and take a tour of the rural greenery and highway speculation. Going on a long ride with friends under the cast of something called overcast beauty is a moment I guess nobody will ever skip. Enough reading, take out that old bicycle of yours customize it or get a new one, make a plan and make your day all the way cycling to a fresher mood and a better you.
