Attrocious - Rape
I read an article in "The Hindu" about a rape of a young girl, in Mumbai, by policemen in broad daylight, before the crowds of people. If anything is the greatest sin in the world, I feel it is rape. It sends me shiver down the spine, when I hear some poor girl, being raped by some of the worst hooligans of the society. Raping incidents show that those guys are yet to properly become humans. I feel reading this article, is bringing me one of the landmark points in my life.
The first of the points was when I was 6 - 7 years old, when my cousins remarked that Computer Scientist is the most dangerous profession in the world. They remarked in the context of cryptography and control of advanced weaponary and this cast so deep an impression on me, that I entered into computer science and becoming what I hoped to become - "A computer scientist".
I've seen death, only two times. First was in 1992 bandh, when a dog sleeping on the middle of the road was smashed by a truck, before my eyes. That even is still red in my eyes. The other and more deep was, when I saw a goat being killed in a butcher shop in august 2002. While the first incident, became an implicit part of my psyche, the second one made me highly aggressive and contributed to the extreme success, I enjoyed in 2003.
In July 2003, reading Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged got me so impressed that I became even more mad with America. It enormously changed my thinking.
Recently two such events have touched me. The movie "Swadesh" was so touching and it builds an internal ferocity for me to return to India. And this article, serve to strengthen my resolve further. There are lot more fundamental issues to be changed in India. There is no other person to do it.
My dream is to go to MIT or Stanford or CMU, and research with all my might, and return to India, with all that knowledge. I want to create a beautiful India. If I can't change the future for poor girls like these and poor people who look at their future as bleak, all my knowledge shall go to Hell!
