Generally I avoid news about this "Ma", that "Kunwar" types. In other words, I am rather allergic to news about groups that deal with spiritual prowess. May be, I am wrong, but it is my firmly held belief that such inner strength, garnered after lots of mind efforts, cannot be a consumer item to be advertised like some two minutes stuff. It becomes business then, right?
In other words, that sad saga of the recent unnatural death of a sadhvi can never be my kind of stuff. Yet I am going to write about it because it points towards a terrible danger sn(e)akily lurking for women who are, as it is, more and more victimised as technology develops!
Well, this lady had installed in her "kuti" a cctv camera. Using this safety device, there was some objectionable video shooting of her. Apparently, the person responsible is the mechanic who installed the camera, in cahoots with the menials working for her.
The intimacy thus videographed was with the 'pater familias' in her opinion. It got morphed to spread the vilest rumours against her. May be, it was to extract money from her. Possibly it was out of professional jealousy. I would not know such details.
What I find appalling is not only the invasion of her privacy but also the involvement of the mechanic. True, these are the DIY times. Yet not everything you can do it yourself, right? If you have to call a mechanic, how to know whether such a person is trustworthy, is not up to some creepy crap?
Our country does not have enough certified guilds of the "blue collar" workers. How to believe such gig workers? How far safe it is to allow them inside your home? In addition to the legit fear of robbery, there is this additional trouble of such camera fixing for some pervert, right?
Softwares such as photoshopping, not to forget the AI enabled Grok, can online create an alternate reality that never existed. Now such trouble offline is truly a bother. Hence the Marquez like title of our blog today that opens up subtle victimizations of women!
Pratima@'Eliza' type of mini robots, too, transmit their surroundings, it seems. Your own mobile, too, can be tapped to trap you, and beyond that notorious digital arrest. If technology is going to get better by the minute, while human perfidy would be worse by the second, it is indeed times of trouble for women, what with the "no work" times looming ahead, and very soon, what with the five years upper limit by M/S Musk, et al!
Quote of the day: "Toxic people," argues this anonymous quote, "attach themselves like cinder blocks tied to your ankles, and then invite you for a swim in their poisoned waters." Given such sicko's around, you can never stop being wiser!
Word of the day: perfidy Perfidy refers to the negative state/quality of being deceitful and untrustworthy.
Let us learn grammar: As we noted last week, the subject drives the sentence, and determines the verb. Before we discuss this issue further, it is necessary to understand the basic types of verbs. Verbs can be transitive, intransitive or di-transitive.
Intransitive verbs do not have/need an object. Transitive verbs have an object, while di-transitive verbs require two objects, direct and indirect. Tomorrow we shall explore this concept through examples.
