Q1: Condemning the rape of a 51-year-old Danish
woman near the New Delhi railway station, ruling Aam
Aadmi Party (AAP) stressed the need for fast track
courts, and for bringing Delhi Police under the purview
of the state government. Do you think the Delhi
Government should exercise control over the Delhi
Police?
What Rajgurians SayNO (5%)
YES (67%)
To some extent
(28%)
And as far as the current scenario is
concerned..it may sound pessimistic but well
there is no sign of justice coming any day soon
for these women.
It's all
power
play - sad
but true !
Justice
delayed
is justice
denied!
"SHE WOULD HAVE NEVER
GONE QUIETLY“ Her death is
another addition to those
numerous mysterious high
profile death cases which
either remain unsolved or are
manipulated and finally
suppressed over the time.
Thanks to corruption and of
course the Media! In such a
scenario, would justice ever
come to such women?
If the
government
instructs,
police
implements
and the
witnesses
and public
don't fear.
it would but then all this requires the much needed support n
voice of the youth , being an active participant in the politics
and knowing about our country and its constitution.

Just another phase of life
When all goes smooth,
and you are living high,
the least you expect,
is the heaven's cry:
'Thou life's a malediction,
a cauldron of sorrows,
happiness, a prose,
and living, a desire.'
It calls you off the delusion,
wakes you up by a percussion,
the voice grows strong,
swipes away the throng,
bruises your dreams
and assures life is no whims..

IT HAS BEEN LONG....
It has been long since that day
That day, when I lost my way,
wandering through the darkness, all weary,
with eyes red and teary.
I was innocent, with an angelic face,
my life revolved around frocks, with frills and lace.
Through the darkness, I saw you.
But there was a difference.
You were not the one I dotted,
'DANGER', my heart shouted.
I never knew,
the hand that used to bless,
would make my life such a mess!
He acted strange,
I responded with rage.
I wished it to be a nightmare,
Not knowing, what to do, when and where.
He took all that that he claimed,
'POOR CHILD', the world exclaimed.
Years have passed since that day,
living in a world not knowing my way,
They whisper and stare without any heed,
acting unknown of the fact, that I shall bleed.
For a mistake not mine, I shall pay,
Everything is the same, so is everyday.
I cry, I whine, I bleed,
knowing well that I am out of breed.
As I go through my frills and laces,
I remind myself of those faces,
Who took from me....... everything,
leaving me with nothing!
I live... as a girl, a victim, a survivor,
walking through the tear filled river.
People show sympathy,
But i dont want any.
In my world, I live alone,
Signs of future... all gone.
As a victim, I prod

Information Technology in our lives
-Dr. Suruchi Chawla Asstt Professor
Department of Computer Science
All of us have been aware of bullying as a fact of life in schools. For many years it was
something that happened in person, at the schoolyard or the way home.
However in the 21st century bullying has become a physical as well as a virtual threat due to the
widespread use of instant messaging and mobile phone among the young.
Bullying is a hateful crime, and now with almost every person having a facebook or twitter
account, cyber bullying is becoming an unwelcome trend amongst the teens.
What is Cyberbullying?
Cyberbullying is like physical bullying, but it’s done either online or with cell phones. It can take
the form of harassment, public humiliation, or both. The viral nature of online life and cell phones
makes sending humiliating or degrading messages, pictures, or videos simple and immediate.
How big of a problem is cyber bullying?
• It can happen to anyone and it can damage one emotionally. One’s self esteem and one’s
self confidence - all take huge sits when bullying is involved.
• A recent survey indicated that at least 15 per cent of children have received threatening
messages online or on their phones, the majority of those bullied being girls. Another survey
puts the figure as high as 25 per cent for text message bullying.
How are teens Cyberbullied?
Tech-savvy bullies can easily set up a website denigrating and degrading another kid. An
embarrassing picture snapped on a camera phone can find its way across the web in more
seconds. Also, some cyber bullies spread lies and rumors about victims. They can trick people
into revealing personal information. Some bullies send or forward mean messages, while some
post pictures or personal information of victims without their consent.
So what can be done about cyber-bullying?
There are a few obvious steps, such as being wary of giving out e-mail addresses and instant
messenger screen names. Also following measures can be taken to prevent Cyberbullying:
•Don’t respond. Engaging with a bully only fuels the fire.
•Block communication with cyberbullies.
•Report cyberbullying to a trusted adult.
•Raise awareness of the cyberbullying problem in your community by holding an assembly
and creating fliers to give to younger kids or parents.
Don’t forget that cyberbullying causes real problems. If you wouldn’t say it in person, don’t say
it online. If you know of someone who is being bullied or you yourself are being bullied, stand
up and tell someone who can help because this trend so to speak needs to be obsolete.

Nowadays its more important for girls to be called as
SMART than as BEAUTIFUL or CUTE!!! And
getting this kind of statement isn’t that difficult. All you have
to do is to glam up by accessorizing yourself like the
Celebs do!!!
