In Punjab, 300 girls survive for every 1000 boys that survive among the rich upper class elite.
Remember that Sushant Singh starrer - "Mathrubhumi - A Land Without Women..."
It seems just round the corner, doesnt it?

Lost in the Celestial Soup
Ever thought big? In the literal sense? And REAL big at that?
Ever thought about the universe?
Well I have, and every time I think, it bowls me over completely, and leaves me awestruck, dumbstruck, wide eyed (and whatever other adjectives you can pool in), when I think of those ethereal mysteries starry eyed sky gazers try to unravel.
Try and visualise. Trust me, its going to be a fantastic voyage!
The universe is said to be expanding, and at a crazy rate. All matter existing is essentially a part of our universe. Then somebody please enlighten me, what in goddamn hell is the universe expanding into?
And again, before the Big Bang, the universe was a singularity - a cosmic dot, with infinite density. By god, please tell me what was all around it, that the universe is now blissfully punching into, in its effort, conquer the entire, ahem, errr, ummmm Universe? No, thats wrong; so what exactly is it conquering then?
Every now and then, we have these new cheeky galaxies popping up in every nook and corner of this universe. And some sane people had told me in school that energy and matter in this universe remains constant.
And now for the question of the cosmos. Does God play dice? The good man Frank Drake wants us to believe his Equation of Life which claims that statistically, Earth is the only planet that can harbour life. (Dear God, my apologies for the observation but that really is a MASSIVE waste of resources out there then!)
Who says you cant go back in time. Every day when you look at the star lit sky, you travel back in time many many years. A peep at the Andromeda galaxy, and you were probably looking at a prehistoric era so back in time that humans were a long time away in the future. The farther you peep into the universe, the more you get back in time.
Isn't it fascinating?
One of my deepest regrets would be having to go to my grave without answers to these cosmic questions; questions to which the human race may never ever have answers to.
Lets hope that mankind would be advanced enough to dig for the answers. Lets hope that we would still have Earth as a home at that time.
If not, God, please please roll that die again!
