How to Educate the Educated? The Dog Walkers !!

There is not a single morning while dropping my son off to his school bus stop that I am greeted with the most disgusting sites: Pet dogs relieving themselves and their owners looking here and there as if nothing is happening.

Point to be noted is that they choose the most happening spots.. front gate of a house, middle of the road, along the foot path, at the bus stop pavement (just imagine how difficult it becomes just trying to walk without stepping onto...and don't forget the amount of traffic these days ) and precisely leave the dog corners specially created for pet dogs and their owners of course.

What pride can there be to let the pets relieve themselves like this?
When its a well known fact that Dogs are the best trained why cant they be trained?
Owners who actually see no harm in letting there dogs sleep on their beds, why cant they train them to
relieve in their toilets?
Or at least have the decency to take them to secluded spots ?

There is one incident where once confronting a lady on why she was letting her dog do his poo in the middle of the road she gave me all sorts of arguments:
When you get the motion do you wait?
This is my road!
Do you expect me to train my dog? I said  EXACTLY!
Who are you to say this?
and it kept going until i left the scene.

She really looked like a highly Educated Lady!

Thank God its India hence total freedom to do what not, if it were UK you would have to walk with a plastic bag to pick up your dog poo, else you shall be FINED!!

Share your experiences too!

Looks like not many takers of my earlier post on Plight of Women.
Well this itself explains many things..

But the hard part is this is the daily life of females that i was talking about and hear about.

Ok maybe i shall receive some response on this aspect:

" Many inlaws demand a monthly sum (fixed) amount from their Son and Daughter in Law.
Condition here I am adding that the parents are well off, they actually don't need money." Is it right?
If the DIL disagrees then how does the relationship equation changes between Husband /Wife and ofcourse
DIL and her Inlaws?

--Its the duty of the sons to take care of their parents
--Good parents that i know and parents who have raised me never ask anything except love and respect
in fact they give back whatever is given to them.
--Many DIL give away their everything jewellery, earnings to their inlaws still they are not happy
--Ive seen  many true good to be true sons taking it as their obligation to keep showering and giving whatever the parents demand.

Again I come back to the fact that what is the role of the prodigal Son? How he should manage the above situation and his relationship with people he loves the most.

Plight of my female sisters around me

So much has been said and written about women, girls in general who are continuously targeted, tortured, abused, mistreated, disrespected, enslaved, used as a property, are a means of convenience under the false umbrella of social rituals, social obligations, to satisfy the constant male egos and dominance etc etc... and I still strongly believe that it is very less. A thousand lot more needs to be written about females and their struggles on daily basis.

There is not a single day that goes by when I not see or hear from my own circle of acquaintances, friends and family issues faced by females on regular basis.

I am raising few questions: and am hoping that all answer or at least pen down their true responses maybe we shall be able to understand the psyche of men, women, people in general about matters faced by us in general.

1. Should our respect for our elders be taken for granted by our elders?
2. why a bahu is always a bahu and a bahu and a bahu and never a beti, even when she does far more , sacrifices far more than the beti?
3. why the prodigal sons always evade from home turbulence, or in the guise of respect or ignorance do not address issues at home like they do so well in their offices?
4. why do parents don't teach their sons the lessons of equality, respect of women, family values, dowry is illegal, perform general household chores like cleaning the toilet, washing utensils, taking care of their clothes etc.
5. why are they trained with this notion that when young, their maa shall do everything for them, if there is a sister then she , and of course after marriage his wife will perform all his routine daily activities.

I think if we answer these questions a lot can be understood...so i am expecting all my friends, family members, and other acquaintances to kindly send your responses and we shall discuss all in length.
And please NO HARD FEELINGS :)
