"A picture can say a thousand words"

.I've said this earlier and so will let these pics do all the talking.

Leaving you with some moods and images at sunset..one day,not so long ago

All things Japanese

There is a particular beauty to all things Japanese-Be it  the costumes, the food, the flowers and most of all their deep rooted love for tradition, all are equally fascinating.

Combined with the huge leaps in technological progress that the Japanese people have registered over the last many years, there is a lot that we can all learn from.

I'm leaving you with a few visuals, which I'm sure will convey some of what I'm trying to say

Women's Reservation Bill all set to become a reality

It had to happen and it did. 9th March 2010,14 years after the process for the Bill was first initiated in the Indian Parlaiment, the Bill s now all set to become a reality. Today it was finally passed in the Rajya Sabha( the Upper house of Parliament) with 186 "for" and 1 "against" it.

The rest of the process will take some more time, and so it well might. For the Bill to become a reality, it will have to go to the Lok Sabha, and only once it has been passed there that it can become a Law.

So is there any reason to feel euphoric?
In my mind, there is indeed.

For as I had mentioned in my earlier Blog post on this subject, it is little girls like these who will now be assured of a more secure future.For they will now  grow up with their mothers teaching them that they finally have an assured "Share of Voice" in the Governance of their country. 33% is a good number.

I simply look at it this way. We now definitely  have hope for the future.
