Ashna With The Ways

The following is post is the same as posted on www.theanalysis.org It is an article , an article that reflects my perspective about the law in our nation regarding gender. You can get more such legal articles on the aforementioned site , India's first open online discussion forum. The article talks in brief about the intersection between the law and the gender justice. The piece throws light on some major judicial pronouncements that were rendered to strike the equal balance between the law and the gender justice, by our judiciary. The recognition of ‘third gender’ is also an important element of this article and whether LGBT community can have a status of equality and dignity or not, talks Ashna Jha     -Ashna Jha is pursuing law (BA., LL.B.) from Rizvi Law College, Mumbai. We all talk about as to how the rights should be equal, how and what can be done to make justice equal and impartial. What has the society and most importantly judiciary contributed tow...

It was a day of pride for the LGBT community in Mumbai on 31st January, 2015. The annual pride parade was one extravagant affair. A parade for the equal rights, a parade for acceptance, a parade where love meant love and nothing was gender biased. I met one such person who has been witnessing that love needs no gender to be defined. Parenthood needs no gender to set an example of a good parental   care. Keya an independent woman has been brought by two mothers.  I asked her a few questions about how it is and how much different is it from a regular heterosexual family. How was it with two mothers bringing you up? Keya It was really great. I have a twin sister also & I have never really been with a father so I can’t compare how a father would be or something but my mom’s girlfriend she’s not exactly like our mom but still I feel that parental care with her . So do you feel that parental touch with her (her mom’s gf)? Ya ya completely ...

Is being happy really that important ? You might wonder and the instant answer will be yes with a perfectly perceived reaction (wtf is wrong with this girl ??) . Being happy is important but if your happiness comes at the cost of giving away your dreams , giving away your desires , curbing your voice , doing everything your loved ones always wanted you to do but never even thought of doing something for yourself and you call that being happy .. Strange but true !!!    Is being selfless feasible ? A person who is selfless after a point becomes too dependent on the people around them and once they ditch or leave them , its like a whole new life with new people to communicate with.    Initially when one gets into a relationship , everything is fresh & new . Even the worst habits that ones seemed to be irritating with other people, now suddenly that is something you love about your partner the most. All you want to do is to get a smile on the face of your LOV...

Its just when you know, This it it, This is the person. Its just when you know, My life is complete, My life is beautiful. Its just when you know, Life is about to change, Life is about to get better. Its just when you know, There will be emotional weeping, There will be a new addiction. Its just when you know, You have someone by your side, You have someone to be your guide. Its just when you know, You are in love, You have someone to look up to. Its just when , You know Its Right . 

People say love is forever . But somewhere , somehow those people forgot to mention that love is just not limited to people who are attracted towards opposite sex . Love can happen to anyone , it can happen between two men , a man & a woman or between two women . Prohibiting or curbing somebody to love only on the basis of their orientation is something of a very low demeanor ,but the society applauds going against such couples with full confidence. Do people from the LGBT community force themselves on people who are straight ? Or they have different set of organs or they survive on something else rather than oxygen or are they not born the same way every straight person is??? Why differentiate then . Every single person on this planet has the right to choose whom to love & how to love . Its not just about the rights that gays and lesbians are fighting for . Transgenders have been fighting for their rights since centuries . They are looked upon as a different enti...

FUN- describing this word might kick us into a bowl of questions. What exactly is fun? Is it going out partying around , or if fun by hitting on strange people , getting laid or is it going out, exploring places, going on picnics, outings, road trips, family dinners, playing cards or just sitting underneath the moon light with the love of your life.    Fun means different to different people. Has a different aspect in everyone’s life. Each of us is born with a propensity to have fun doing certain type of activities. It is something that is not limited to a particular age group, community or society.Fun just describes the real person in you. In olden days the scope and different ways to have fun was very limited. Fun was considered something that could only be enjoyed with family and friends and not unlike today where we meet random strange people at a rave and tag it as fun. Books, friends, family, harvest feast, ball dances, used to be the main sour...

The day starts with updating our happenings . Instead of getting out of bed and wishing our family , our roommates good morning , we prefer updating our status on facebook and wishing the so called friend circle and followers a morning supposedly to be good .  There was a time when we had no facebook , twitter or instagram to let everyone know about every second of our movement yet people had a better form of relationship with their friends and family.   We go out ,click click , instagram , hash tag(# ), facebook it, tweet and un necessary internet time . Or just try exploring the wonderful world around . The day starts with #tag and ends with #tag. Uploading a picture in the same outfit twice is a big taboo . Updating randomly   about having a fried chicken at KFC has become more important but hello !! Can’t it be possible to focus on the chicken first . A life of a social networking person is no less than one addicted to weed or alcohol. Where on one sid...
