I read about this site in some online article and was disgusted to know what world we live in! I mean, why will you do such nasty stuffs with strangers? Don't you have some sense?
What bothered me is the fact are the children. Many children are getting affected by this site every day. Imagine the horror of moving frames they see on this site. Unbelievable. Even if the site says that you need to be 18+ or be 13+ with PG, kids have free access here. What is more hateful is the other adult people do not mind flashing to kids. What a true shame!
With easy access to computer and internet these days, the kids who are yet to be adult interact with people they don't know and then they do things that they shouldn't. These children carry tiny minds and can fall trap to having 'fun' on the internet with a stranger but they don't know that this will harm their mind. This will harm the way they grow. I think this is completely shameless.
This social experiment was horrifying. What a disgusting experience! My heart cries out to see where the world is going! So much so that I don't feel like talking about it.
I don't know how to take care of this. How to stop it? Should parents enforce parental guidance on their kids or filter out their internet connections? Will that be enough? Everybody carries a smart phone now a days and that means more than one way to be online. And sadly, Omegle is not the only site. There is a flood of such sites.
I guess, This world was much better before the dotcom boom.

From a rush transcript:
Thank you all, thank you so much. It is hard to believe that it has been eight years since I first came to this convention to talk with you about why I thought my husband should be president. Remember how I told you about his character and his conviction? His decency and grace? The traits we have seen every day as he has served our country in the White House.
I also told you about our daughters, how they are the heart of our hearts, the center of our world, and during our time in the White House we have had the joy of watching them grow from bubbly little girls into poised young women.
A journey that started soon after we arrived in Washington when they set off for their first day at their new school. I will never forget that winter morning as I watched our girls, just 7 and 10 years old, pile into those black SUVs with all those men with guns. And that's all their little faces pressed up against the window, and the only thing I could think was, What have we done? At that moment, I realized that our time in the White House would form the foundation of who they would become. And how well we manage this experience could truly make or break them.
That is what Barack and I think about every day as he tried to guide and protect our girls from the challenges of this unusual life in the spotlight. How we urged them to ignore those who question their father’s citizenship or faith. How we insist that the hateful language they hear from public figures on TV does not represent the true spirit of this country. How we explain that when someone is cruel or acts like a bully, you don't stoop to their level. Our motto is, when they go low, we go high.
With every word we utter, with every action we take, we know our kids are watching us. We as parents are the most important role model.
Let me tell you, Barack and I take that same approach to our jobs as president and first lady because we know that our words and actions matter, not just to our girls but the children across this country. Kids who say, "I saw you on TV," "I wrote the report on you for school." Kids like the little black boy who looked up at my husband, his eyes wide with hope, and he wondered, Is my hair like yours?
Make no mistake about it, this November, when we get to the polls, that is what we are deciding. Not Democrat or Republican, not left or right. In this election, and every election, it is about who will have the power to shape our children for the next four or eight years of their lives. I am you tonight because in this election, there is only one person who I trust with that responsibility, only one person who I believe is truly qualified to be president of the United States, and that is our friend Hillary Clinton.
I trust Hillary to lead this country because I have seen her lifelong devotion to our nation’s children. Not just her own daughter, who she has raised to perfection, but every child who needs a champion: kids who take the long way to school to avoid the gangs. Kids who wonder how they will ever afford college. Kids whose parents don't speak a word of English, but dream of a better life; who look to us to dream of what they can be.
Hillary has spent decades doing the relentless work to actually make a difference in their lives. Advocating for kids with disabilities as a young lawyer, fighting for children’s health care as first lady, and for quality child care in the senate.
And when she did not win the nomination eight years ago, she did not get angry or disillusioned. Hillary did not pack up and go home because ... Hillary knows that this is so much bigger than her own disappointment. She proudly stepped up to serve our country once again as secretary of state, traveling the globe to keep our kids safe. There were moments when Hillary could have decided that this work was too hard, that the price of public service was too high, that she was tired of being [torn] apart for how she looked, or how she talked, or even how she laughed.
But here's the thing: What I admire most about Hillary is that she never buckles under pressure.
She never takes the easy way out. And Hillary Clinton has never quit on anything in her life. And when I think about the kind of president that I want for my girls and all our children, that is what I want. I want someone with the proven strength to persevere.
Somebody who knows this job and takes it seriously. Somebody who understands that the issues of our nation are not black or white. It cannot be boiled down to 140 characters. Because when you have the nuclear codes at your fingertips and the military in your command, you can't make snap decisions. You can't have thin skin or a tendency to lash out. You need to be steady and measured and well-informed.
I want a president with a record of public service. Someone whose life’s work shows our children that we don't chase fame and fortune for ourselves; we fight to give everyone a chance to succeed. And we give back even when we are struggling ourselves because we know that there there is someone worse off. There but for the grace of God, go I. I want a president who will teach our children that everyone in this country matters.
A president that truly believes in the [precedent] that our founders put forth all those years ago — that we are all created equal, each a beloved part of the great American story. When crisis hits, we don't turn against each other, we listen to each other. We lean on each other. We are always stronger together. I am here tonight because I know that that is the kind of president Hillary Clinton will be and that is why in this election, I'm with her.
You see, Hillary understands that the presidency is about one thing and one thing only. It is about leaving something better for our kids. That is how we have always moved this country forward — by all of us coming together on behalf of our children. Volunteering to coach the team, teach the Sunday school class, because they know it takes a village.
Heroes of every color and creed who wear the uniform and risk their lives to pass on those blessings of liberty; police officers and protesters in Dallas who all that really want to keep our children safe; people who lined up in Orlando to donate blood because it could have been their son, or their daughter in the club.
Leaders like Tim Kaine, who show our kids what decency and devotion look like. Leaders like Hillary Clinton, who have the guts and the grace to keep coming back and putting those cracks in the highest and hardest glass ceiling until they finally break through, lifting all of us along with her.
That is the story of this country. The story that has brought me to the stage tonight. The story of generations of people who felt the lash of bondage, the shame of servitude, the sting of segregation, who kept on striving, and hoping, and doing what needed to be done. So that today, I wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves. And I watch my daughters — two beautiful intelligent black young women — play with the dog on the White House lawn
And because of Hillary Clinton, my daughters and all of our sons and daughters now take for granted that a woman can be president of the United States.
Don't let anyone ever tell you that this country is not great. That somehow we need to make it great again. Because this right now is the greatest country on Earth.
And as my daughters set out on the world, I want a leader who is worthy of that truth, a leader worthy of my girls’ promise and all of our kids’ promise. A leader who will be guided every day by the love and hope and impossibly big dreams that we all have for our children.
In this election, we cannot sit back and hope that everything works out for the best, we cannot afford to be tired or frustrated or cynical. Hear me: Between now and November, we need to do what we did eight years ago and four years ago. We need to knock on every door, we need to get out every vote, we need to pour every last ounce of passion into electing Hillary Clinton as president of the United States of America. Let's get to work. Thank you all and God bless.
Gunmen opened fire on a holiday party on Wednesday at a social services agency in San Bernardino, California, killing 14 people and wounding 17 others before fleeing, authorities said.
As an intense manhunt for up to three suspects ensued, San Bernardino police reported one "suspect down" in an exchange of gunfire with officers but did not immediately confirm whether the individual was connected to the shooting.
16 in Hospital After Shooting at Playground in New Orleans in US - While, thankfully, this time it's not a terrorist behavior, but this happened because of open firing arising out of an argument between two gangs!
But this incident forces me to ask this question again: Should we be allowed to carry gun in public?
The story is still unfolding, but read what the initial story says:
----- At least 16 people were hospitalized after a shooting at a playground in New Orleans, a local TV station reported on Sunday, citing police. Initial reports suggest the shooting was not related to terror; it allegedly started after an argument between two gangs. WWL TV said the shooting occurred around 7 p.m. local time (0100 GMT on Monday) while about 500 people were at Bunny Friend playground in the city's Upper Ninth Ward for the making of a music video. Witnesses told WWL at least two gunmen were shooting into the crowd. The Times-Picayune newspaper quoted witnesses as saying they saw several people lying on the sidewalk after the shooting. Several ambulances were seen leaving the scene and 10 of the victims were taken to University Medical Center in New Orleans, WWL said. The Times-Picayune said New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu had arrived at the scene of the shooting. Source: NDTV.com

This post is for those unlucky people who are out there 'just living their life everyday' or I can say, 'waiting for the death to touch them'. It sounds loud, but the reality is even louder.
Every day when we walk out on the road, running step by step with everyone...somewhere 'besides' the crowd is one of those people waiting for others to feed. There is one such kid trying to attract people by hitting the ground with one hand and raising the other for someone to fill. There is one such person with missing limbs lying on the ground and calling people by shivering his body continuously. There is one mother with her toddler on the lap trying to collect enough money for eating so that she can breastfeed. People call them 'The Beggars'. I dissent. Can we better call them "The Needies"?
We shall be thankful to god for blessing us with at least that much so that we can keep ourselves up & running. We shall be happy that we have a family and we can support it. We shall be happy that at the end of the day when we go to the bed our stomachs are full. We shall be thankful that we don't worry every night 'bout how will we stand the next day without any food in reserve, without a shelter on the head and without any cloths on the body. We are heavenly blessed.
But then there are people who are not blessed the same way. They are under-privileged and most of the time ill behaved too. It's a phenomenon that at times when there is one needy person on our doors we tend to close it with force, yelling at the needy not to come again as if s/he committed a big crime by knocking. When there is someone tapping on our car window, we pretend not to give any attention and wishing him/her to move away. When there is a fund raising for the needies/the-flood-affected/the-natural-calamity-affected we alibi for running low on finances. Who is asking you your entire fortune? All that is expected from you is a small help, a very nominal help; and for the needies...it can make their day!
Can't we stop smoking for a day and use the same for someone's meal for a day? Can't we spend a lil less on tobacco for someone's warmth in the winter? Can't we skip a cup of coffee in a swish cafe just to stop someone from crying out of starvation? And then when there is a celebrity show, when there is a cricket/tennis/football match, when there is a cozy late night dance party we don't give a damn to think twice before nodding, "Count me In, I am all game!". I understand it's important for you too, I understand you want to live & enjoy your life, you have full right too...but what's the harm if you can make someone at least live, let alone enjoy, few moments?
If every one of us starts helping the needies in one's own possible way, we can make world a better place to live. Start with "Help 1 person every day" routine and you will see the difference. Not just that the one you helped will bless you or will make your day with his/her smile every time you pass by but you yourself will feel proud the entire day. Just give a try, I am sure you will feel good. We can spend a hundred bucks for just 2-3 hours of pleasure by going to movies; can't we spend just a couple of bucks for a day long pleasant feeling also?
And remember, Helping is not only in the form of money. There are people who need love & affection more than money. Because this will make them feel valued, make them feel proud. You can help them heal their miseries by being a bandage sometimes.
2 : marked by want of affection, attention, or emotional support
Hope you can understand that need comes in various ways, forms & volumes.
Don't we see so many small children wandering on the street everyday? What do you think the future has for them? No education, not enough cloths on the body, half eaten and full starving, wounded & beaten. Can't you just help one?
And you don't need to ask "All is fine, but how do I start with?". You don't need to ask anyone how to help others. If you want you can start with the routine: "The first needy person I see every day, I will help him/her in any way I can." Isn't that easy? And if you want to be a part of a larger group who does that, there are many NGOs you can get attached to.
I am also in a lil touch (though virtually, not physically) with one such NGO called "Neev". They are mostly into helping the little children in and around Kokata. They prefer calling the children "Flowers", ain’t it true? And then there is another one I was talking to, it's named "Janhit Foundation". They are into Child helpline, Water Conservation, Water quality maintenance, sustainable agriculture, violation of human rights, environmental education, etc.
I know the images above are heart paining and they will continue to be such until we start willing to make a change, in one’s small way. And if we do, the world will smile together, see:
Everyone loves to be loved and needs to be needed. How True!
So, What are you waiting for, won't you like to cause a smile today?
This is the text message I received few weeks back on my cell. My first response was, “huhh?” But then I realized what that was for. 'He' did it finally!!!
How would you feel if that beeps on your mobile one day or your Man says himself, “Sweetie, I am pregnant!”
Bizarre? Not really, read ahead.
Thomas Beatie, a.k.a. Pregnant Man, is a male from New York who gave birth to a baby girl on June 29, 2008. And eventually became one proud Man (though by means) to give birth to a human baby. There are so many stories & talks behind this so called man-delivering-a-baby-and-becoming-a-father-oops-mother-or-whatever-you-call phenomenon. Resisting the depth of the stories but worth mentioning are few facts. Thomas Beatie, 34, who is happily married to Nancy for years was born as a female (yes!) and now is a transgender man for last 10 years or so. He managed hard to keep few features of a female during his varying. He had past attempt for an implanted pregnancy which failed but this time it worked, worked wonder. He birthed! And this feat made him appear on the most prestigious Oprah Winfrey Show too. Not putting much ‘bout how it happened & how it was delivered, but in case you are interested you can always Google for it.

Lovely pics :)
I can't help commemorate the movie which I saw lately, The Mist. It talks ‘bout the results of human-scientific-researches-and-the-results-thereafter. If you have seen this movie once, you know what I mean to refer to.
Anyways, no doubt it’s a courageous act by someone who wants to fulfil his/her desire. One who wants to make ‘it’ happen. But then........desires are infinite! Ain't it? Anyways, greetings & blessings to the Beatie family.
Keeping this post short and leaving you with a Question…….
If you are a woman, would you desire same for your man? ('Sweetie, I am pregnant' greetings?) Or, if you are a man, would like to be another Beatie?

Is any of these sounds Human?
Every morning we wake up, touch the newspaper, open the television many of such news are heard and seen. And it’s not just one day, it happens daily. And now the scene is that it feels a part of our life. We are so well prepared in advance of such news, most of the times we tend to skip reading those….yes, we are habituated. I am sure we have changed.
The more I say the more it would hail inside. At one side we see a handful of people trying to help others live. Look at the NGOs, look at those social workers who are trying their best to nurture lives. There are people who sacrifice their lives to protect us at the country border. These people go out, talk to the needy, help them, play with them just for one real smile. Heavenly. And on the other side, we have those who take away lives on the ground of killing ‘bad’ people and freeing this world of agony. There are groups, which in the name of god, do violence all around the world. They call it ‘struggle’ & ‘wish of god’. We call it ‘terrorism’.
When we look around ourselves, we feel worried. Sometimes we can’t help but laugh on the foolishness all around. Take this, a bus hits a small girl taking away her life. The angry people beat the driver to death, set the bus ablaze……..causing a communal tension, 3 days of complete military marching, lots of fighting, lots of lathi-charges, lots of gun firing. 100s more die. Pathetic!
God knows what the future holds……..b’coz the way ‘wethe human' are behaving, we won’t be needing food to eat. We will soon be tearing each other’s body parts like dogs.
I am sure that not even God can bless us Now, b’coz we have disappointed him already. Next time when it thunders in the sky, try to listen his wrath.
Warning: The video below is very barbaric in nature and features extreme cruelty and violence. Please don’t hit play if you are weak heart or too emotional. Kids & pregnant women are suggested to close this page immediately.
Meet The Human!
It’s not that before seeing this video (below), I had no idea ‘bout such brutal acts but seeing this in length hit me hard, really hard. And I finally, after deep thoughts, decided to blog it.
This video below describes the process, though partial still, used in animal farms to get the produce out of them. A produce can be in the form of milk, flesh, fur, horns, teeth, and anything & everything that has monetary values.
This gives an immense sense of self-guiltiness and self-disgust; the cruelty & barbaric nature hidden inside us. I agree that this video deals and focuses only on the cruel acts, but when you are talking of a cattle farm, can you talk of love & care? There is only one intention behind it...sell everything possible.
In this video you can see how animals are cut by their throat, banged on the roof/wall, ragged, boiled and much more. I have already seen this video 10+ times and by the time you read it, the count would be in three digits.
(Click once, twice for IE, to Play. Put Audio on.)
Warning: If you are a kid, a pregnant woman, a weak heart or a very emotional person, don’t hit play.
I know lots of people will question me that when it’s so cruel and everyone knows 'bout it too, why do you have to blog it again? Simple; sometimes a fat person needs to be told that he looks fat. I just did the same.
Moral: Go Veg! I am.
Feel free to pass on the link to all your friends. Please attach proper warnings.
