Delhi continues to guard its coveted award of Rape Capital. It has left all the others far far behind.
So what could be the reason for such astounding consistency? Are the Delhi men born this way or does Delhi do something to them?
Why do people avoid committing crimes?
Because they are afraid of the repercussions.
In Delhi, they are not afraid. They know they will not be harmed. A few months in jail is no big deal of them anyway.
So why are the so called lawmakers not looking at this dastardly act a little more severely?
Because they feel it is not a crime that deserves all that seriousness?
Women are told to take care of their clothes, watch where they are going, when they are going and with whom they are spending time.
But what about those who prey upon them? For a little fun?
Don't they have anything to learn at all? Or do we club all of them as perverts and depraved?

Movies from Hollywood
Saw some of the latest releases from Hollywood.
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel: Our home grown directors should learn from this movie. It is not necessary that strapping young men and nubile lasses can give you a box office hit or a good movie. This one was certainly about the path less travelled. Elderly couples seek some diversion, peace and companionship in Rajasthan in a dilapidated hotel. Were they able to find it? You simply must see this one to find out!
Hope Springs: Meryl Streep (my favourite) and Tommy Lee Jones together!! What more would the movie lover require? Does a marriage stay a marriage in the true sense of the term after thirty or forty years? Can we improve it? Watch this...
Life of Pi: I was amazed when I heard that a film was being made on this book. I thought it really could not be broken down into shots and scenes, and what about the plot? Well, Ang Lee proved that it could be done and has done it superbly. The ocean, the tiger and the boy create magic and it is difficult to stay out of its web. A must watch.

Movies
Saw three of the latest Bollywood releases.
OMG - Oh My God: Well, surprisingly, a good movie. Deals with all those questions any thinking person might have about the existence of God and the relevance of the God concept in today's society.
Jab Tak Hai Jaan: An all out Shah Rukh Khan starrer but loved Anushka's character and the ease with which she did it. Katrina needs many many lessons in acting and then I don't know if it will help.
Talaash: Very disappointed with this one. Never thought an Aamir Khan starrer would let me down.The first half was good but the second half could not hold my attention at all what with spirits of kids and young women making their presence felt in the most innocuous ways!! Rani was the only saving grace.
