Kula was a big hit.We had elections on 12th ...so obviously we have a new union now .There is Mehzabeen for the president's post, Sunaina handling the secretary's post and Godavari for the treasurer's post. This time the elections were held with a true democratic spirit,there were three contestant contesting for each post.Voters turned out in good numbers and several queries regarding the agendas were put to rest. So we wish the new union luck to carry forward the socio deparment to its zenith.

DID SOMEONE SAY......FEST!!!!!

KULA is here, KULA is here, ......YEYEYE KULA is here ...it brings back all old memories of an excellent KULA fest which we had last year when Namrata was the president.We are keeping our fingers crossed, and hoping for the best KULA again.

Well you wanna know what KULA as a word actually means then please google it ...and learn more about it .Otherwise borrow 2nd years economic sociology book ......we shall tell you more about KULA only on 5th of Feb ....thats just a day before KULA,Feb 6th, till then we want you guys to keep reading our blog.

Slumdog,piecrce brosnan and more.........

yo,
We were quite bored with the usual economic sociology lectures, having just finished with exchange and money and just at the threshold of Poverty and Development, there ensued a wonderful disscusion on most popularly read books, favourite actors and actresses(i know the words not in dictionary).It started off as we disscussed about the "SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE" movie for which the third years are going along with Bhavna ma'am. Abhisekh Bachan was brought under the close scrutiny of our class and ended with bad critics from Bhavna ma'am(that disheartened few diehard fans of him in class).Preity Zinta was our favourite too, not just the cutelooks but all her brains has won her our favours. Asin was acclaimed too for her spontaneous acting in "Ghazni".Well hollywood wasnt far away as ma'am proclaimed Pierce Brosnan as her favourite actor. Then the entire class went like ...oooohhhhhhhh. But me(Jenny) and Kookie(kaushiki) decided that the best we liked were George Clooney, Hugh Jackman.

We did discuss about the books but it stopped quite early with a small M&B story, no... not some romantic story, its about how when Bhavna ma'am was doing her grads the M&Bs costed just 2rs...can you believe that , then she told us how she would buy 30 M&Bs together so that she can read them all in her free time.

Well with that ended our free time also ...back to routine .. Poverty and Development here we come again ......\m/\m/(word life)

Being a girl

Being a girl
Born under some unlucky stars
she comes into this world
which is more like a market
And she? a commodity showcased!

Patriarchial society stares at her every moment
whichever angle...however they wish to...
No they don't care what's her wish,her consent,
she's just to be watched and enjoyed.....

They turn her,twist her....check her upside down
she feels suffocated,ill treated but...
her hands are bound...the PATRIARCHY'S CHOICE!

She can't scream,neither question..
her mouth sealed by norms
All she can wear is the society's rules,
the family's honour.....not clothes of freedom!

She's supossed to smile,not laugh!
She is permitted to walk not jump in joys..
She's burdened with the role of being a woman.
(All she's taught is not to be 'what a man is')

She's destined to marry,
a destiny written down by society.
She gives birth...she gives life,
but who remembers the pain she bears for it?

She becomes a mother, a daughter and...
a wife...
Everyday in the market called "world"
she is scrutinized.

They check thoroughly through her,
watch her every move
to point out any slightest flaw.
She's supposed to be a showpiece afterall...
a "thing" to be watched and enjoyed.

Trapped in the web of of social roles
and the expectations attached to them,
she takes her last breath under a cloud...
of burdens,worries and oblivion
No one bothers.....another "she" will emerge
to be showcased!! but....
will anyone be ever treated as a human??
what is her fault??....just tht she's born a "girl"?
