Olympics Gold medals aren’t actually gold.

For the best athletes in the Olympics, their lives’ athletic training has gotten them to the top of the podium in one of the biggest events in the world. All that work and struggle, and at the end of the road is a gold medal waiting to be placed around their victorious necks.

Well, only part of it is gold.

Gold medals that were made for the Olympics aren’t actually gold. The ratio isn’t even close.

All that glitters is not gold.

Gold medals haven’t been made of gold since the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm. The gold medal’s current value is $565, but if it was made entirely of gold, it would be worth a staggering $21,200.

The bronze medal, on the other hand, is worth the same amount as a tube of toothpaste – or $2.38. Much like Katie Ledecky in the 800-meter freestyle, the disparity between first and third is rather large.

Yes, I Wear A Bra And It Shows. So?

Why? Why do you do that? Stare at my breasts like they are cute babies calling out to be cuddled. Strip me naked, slowly, every time I enter the bus? Try to glimpse into my cleavage when I am sitting and reading in the metro.

Who gives you the right? To grope me in the crowded bus? To fall on me “innocently” when I buy popcorn in the theater. When I sit cross legged in the auto and you stop your bike and look hungrily at my legs.

A piece of meat, am I?
How do you think I feel? When I have to continuously watch over my shoulder, because it is 10 pm and there is nobody at the bus stop, except you. Staring at my neck.

When I panic, because my phone is dead, and I am in a cab wearing a backless dress?
When my friends and parents worry that I have to travel alone at night?
When I am sleepless in the bus, thinking, that your hands will pin me down and yank my clothes away?

What makes you think I should not wear that pretty black skirt?
To be scared. Afraid. Tensed. Every time I am not at home.
What makes you think I like it when I find you smiling at my bra strap that shows?

Yes, I wear a bra. Yes, it shows. So?
Ohh, don’t say that its my clothes! I have found you eyeing the waist of that woman who was wearing the plain faded saree. Your eyes get all excited when the young college going girl enters the bus in just a kurta, no dupatta covering her bosom.

And yes, one slip of the pallu or dupatta and you go wild.
Staring. Smiling. And staring.
So, if I have a beer in my hand when I am on a beach, you think you can click my picture?
When I wear hot pants and laugh with a guy you think you can pinch my ass?

Does the lit cigarette in my hand seem like an invitation to you? To come violate my body with your eyes?

Yes, I am a girl and I drink alcohol, so I am an ‘easy target’. Is that it?
Yes, I drink. I smoke. Does that mean I want to have sex with you and every man on the street?

You. Who teach your daughter to be safe from evil eyes, don’t flinch before mentally having sex with me when you see me on the street? 

You, who get angry when a boy smiles at your sister, don’t feel ashamed standing at the street corner whistling at me every night.
No practice what you preach, for you, right.

Do you still think I am the one who needs to change?

Women Can Do Much Better Than Men

Gender bias has always been a bone of contention between men and women, probably ever since humans evolved. In the modern times, men and women are thought to be on an equal footing. But, one look around is enough to make you realise that the society's bias towards men is truly unending. However, though our society boasts of men as the superior being, you cannot grudge the fact that women can do a lot of things better than men. Here, we bring you a list of six such irrefutable facts.

#1 Women handle stress better

You may say, women break out into an emotional gush of tears during a crisis. But once the tears abate, a woman can think more clearly and can stay more composed in times of adversity. Studies have shown that when men and women were stressed to a similar degree, women performed better in the intelligence tests. Women have a stronger survival instinct; after all she is the propagator of our species.

#2 Women are better at sustaining relationships

You don’t see a lot of women suffering from 'commitment phobia', do you? When a woman is serious about a relationship, she gives everything to it. She can perceive the needs of a relationship better than her man and act accordingly. Call her sentimental if you want, but when it comes to enduring relationships, women have an upper hand.

#3 Women are better at communicating

Women are more verbal than men; they speak their minds openly and do not mind shedding a tear or two if the moment demands. They do not cut off communication in case of a conflict, or turn a deaf ear (which is the most common male response). Science has proved that a woman’s brain can process and analyse a lot more words, feelings and emotions. So, women are definitely better at communicating.

#4 Women are better with finances

Women are more careful, more attentive and more guarded about finances. They do not invest rashly or have as many financial losses as men do. This is probably why households run so smoothly in India as compared to many other countries in the world, because here it is usually the women who manage household budgets. 

#5 Women are better at multitasking

A woman can manage her home and office more efficiently. Not just that, she can iron your shirt, help her children with homework, cook dinner, prepare a business presentation and help find solutions to her family’s problems, all at the same time. Since women have better concentration and memory, they are superior at multitasking.

#6 Women have sharper memories

She remembers the moment she first met someone, she always remembers the grocery list at the back of her hand and all the times her heart was broken. Ask them anything and you will know!

These Girls Have Some Strong Messages To All The Men In India

Women in India have always been subjected to a lot of pre-conceived notions. A lot has been said about it but most men in India still haven’t been able to move past that pre-conceived notion.

Making a strong stance on the same point, Speaking Frames have made their pictures do all the talking. They’ve set up a campaign where girls are standing with a poster that has a very strong message inscribed in it. It is titled “Before Judging Us, Judge Yourself“.

Here are the pictures that’ll make sure the message from women in India doesn’t go to unheard ears:-

Deepika Padukone Says :- There is only ONE sign that a woman wants to have sex..........

My Point of View...

There is only ONE sign that a woman wants to have sex and that is that she says “YES”.

The reason I write the above line is because we all know that in India we are so desperately trying to make a change in the way sections of our society think in order to move towards a happier world devoid of inequality,rape,fear and pain.

I am not naive about my own profession; it is one that requires lots of demanding things of me. A character may demand that I be clothed from head to toe or be completely naked, and it will be my choice as an actor whether or not I take either. Understand that this is a ROLE and not REAL, and it is my job to portray whatever character I choose to play convincingly.

What my concern is and I am stating it clearly so it is not misconstrued or confused with Shahrukh’s 8-pack or any other woman’s or man’s anatomy. I have spoken out against an ideology that such regressive tactics are still being employed to draw a reader’s attention at a time when we are striving for women’s equality and empowerment. In a time where women should be applauded for making headway in a male-dominated society,we blur the lines between REEL and REAL life and dilute all our efforts by making a one-year old back sliding piece of news a headline. Digging out an old article and headlining it “OMG: Deepika’s Cleavage Show!” to attract readers is using the power of influence to proliferate recessive thought.

When an actresses inner wear decides to do a "peek-a-boo",she most definitely did not step out with the intention to do so.So instead of zooming in,circling it and pointing arrows at it,why don't we give her some 'respect' and let it go instead of making it 'headlines'!? Are we not human?Yes we marvel,envy and drool over a male actors 8pack abs in a film,but do we zoom in on the mans 'crotch' when he makes a public appearance and make that 'cheap headlines'??!!

I have no issue celebrating my body and I have never shied away from anything on-screen to portray a character. In fact my next character portrayed is a bar dancer (sorry Farah for the spoiler!) who titillates men as a means to support her livelihood. My issue is you propagating the objectification of a REAL person,and not a character being played. Sure,dissect my characters if you wish-if it is of so much interest then discuss the character’s cup size and leg length if it is relevant to making the role convincing. All I am asking for is respect as a woman off-screen.

It is not about breasts,penises,or any other body part being reported.It is a matter of context and how out-of-context the reportage is just to sell a headline. And more so during a time in dire need of an attitude shift towards women.

For me this topic ends here.Everyone is entitled to an opinion.I have little interest to take this further as it might get more attention than it deserves and might be further misconstrued and twisted to sell more undeserved headlines.

Having said that,please may we show love,dignity and respect to each other.

Live well, laugh often and love much.

World Hates Women

She is a mother, a daughter, a sister, a wife and a companion- That’s a 'woman' for you! A power that can bring a new life on earth, literally! But, then what is that one thing that women all across the world are doing that makes them taste so much of hatred? Hmm...Okay! We got it! It is because she is born as a woman, that is why, isn't it?

Well, what can be the other reason for a human being to face such a kind of punishment? If you don't agree, then can you explain what is happening in this video? Take a look:

This video screams at you, haunts you and tears your soul apart! If we do this to people, the right to be called 'human' should be snatched from us! 

Women are being insulted, tortured and murdered. Babies and little girls are being admitted in hospitals with torn vaginas and ruptured intestines. Young girls are abducted, assaulted and murdered for no reason. In Delhi, a young girl was abused and her rapists pulled out her intestines with bare hands. In Spain, a girl’s breasts were cut off and she was slowly dismembered because she chose death over rape.

What is the reason for such in-human actions? The world hates women, that is evident, but why? Why are women being punished for being women? Why are women abused, raped, assulted and killed publically, with no one speaking a word against it? Why are women, be it 3-months old or 90-year old, not safe anywhere in the world?

Worst of all, a girl-child is murdered in the womb, for just one fault of hers– she was formed by the combination of two X chromosomes, instead of one X and one Y chromosome, in more simplified term, she would have grown up to be a woman! But, is it a crime that she must be punished for it?

Unfortunately, as the world claims to become more civilized and advanced, there is a savage side to humanity that is also gaining strength. A monster that scares women away from enjoying their right to freedom and frightens them from even breathing!

Despite laws getting stricter and stringent, there is a parallel increase in the crime against women. Well, let's leave the law-aside for a moment, we all know cops cannot be everywhere, but we- the society can be! Shouldn't we object, interfere and stand up together (before a crime instead of after!) to stop those monsters around us? But yes, if any of you still think that it is a woman's fault, then please feel-free to tell- Why our world hates women? The whole world is waiting for that answer; share it with everyone in the comments below!

20 Things Every Woman Should Do In Her Twenties

1. Date, or even just have sex with, a ridiculously hot guy. I mean, or fall in love with him? But you probably won't, because there is a good chance he will want to talk about the plot of his novel or how much he loved being on a commune or some other bullshit like that.

2. Go abroad. Ultimately, spending money on experiences is more important in your 20s than spending it on stuff. Exposing yourself to a different culture will make you a better, more broad-minded person, plus the FOOD, GUYS.

3. Wear crazy neon crop tops to music festivals. Now's the time.

4. Take a lot of Instagram pictures. 'Tis the age for many unabashed selfies, so that when your adult child is spoon-feeding you Yankee Beans in the nursing home, have proof that you were once dewy-skinned and had a life.

5. Pick up a sport you've never played before, even if you suck at it. That way you don't have to drag yourself to yoga as often, you can meet a new bunch of people to drink with, and you can buy cute sneakers.

6. Eat whatever. Literally whatever. I have thought about mainlining super-cheesy, super-carby lasagna bolognese with more depth and nuance than I have thought about loved ones. Ignore the nutritional label and don't look back. EVER.

7. Drink a lot of green juice. Not to lose weight, but to balance out the bolognese. It probably sounds like it tastes like the Jolly Green Giant's jizz, but it's shockingly energy-boosting when fresh.

8. Spend time with your parents. Because they're getting older and you don't want to regret not doing it down the line.

9. Read Edith Wharton books. Specifically The Touchstone and New York Stories, because they're all about twentysomething men being weak and wishy-washy and women being smarter and more interesting than them. Also, ballgowns.

10. Keep a journal/sketchbook/scrapbook. Think about how much you are drinking in this decade. You'll want to remember things, and it will be hard if you don't keep some kind of record.

11. Buy a nice black blazer. Because it is the single easiest thing to throw on when you're hungover and your hair is covered in grease and regret, in order to instantly appear professional. Best $ I ever spent.

12. Dance to Missy Elliot in your house by yourself. Garbage bag optional.

13. Practice makeupless Sundays. Let your face breathe at brunch and running errands, dude. You will be surprised how nice your skin looks with just moisturizer on.

14. Five minutes of asana breathing every night before bed. The normal, shallow breaths we take all day are limiting our oxygen supply. I use this app when I remember to.

15. Change your hair drastically. Like go blonde or get bangs, or some other fun play on your identity. #Hair is #powerful.

16. Leave your phone at home for a day. I just broke out in hives typing that. But learn to live in the moment and smell the roses and all those kinds of things that the Olds know how to do.

17. Wear dark purple lipstick. 'Cause Rihanna and 'cause you can.

18. Have an old-school mixed drink with an egg in it. Like they do in various Old Countries.

19. Bond with your siblings by getting drunk together and sharing messed-up family secrets. Your agoraphobic uncle and his stacks of hoarded newspapers will bring you together.

20. Go on a road trip with your best friend(s). Eat Entemann's and throw the empty wrappers in the backseat.
