Did You Ever Love Me? Book Review: Can Rithvik singh turn heartbreak into a homecoming?

Did You Ever Love Me? by Rithvik Singh is a tender contemporary poetry collection about love, heartbreak, longing, self worth and learning to let go. Its greatest strength is emotional accessibility: Singh writes directly to readers who feel intensely and care deeply. The collection offers comfort without pretending heartbreak is simple, though its simplicity may occasionally feel familiar to seasoned poetry readers. Did you Ever Love Me? Have you ever loved someone so completely that, after they left, you were left wondering whether they had ever understood what they had been given? Not merely whether they loved you, but whether they ever noticed how much you loved them, how much patience you offered, how many small things you remembered, or how often you chose to stay when leaving might have been easier. There is a particular loneliness in that question because it rarely arrives at a dramatic moment. More often, it finds you while you are doing something completely ordinary. Yo...

Kill those rapists

Saturday, March 10, 2007


Well we all know about rape...Newspapers...electronic media...all flooded daily with loads of cases of rape...sexual assault...child abuse...exploitation...from young girls of around 9 yrs of age to full grown up women...every age group is highly vulnerable to this menace...
Am not qualified enough to discuss about technicalities and social aspects of a rape
...My point is why don't we damm hang those rapists???
A rapist...rapes a women... and what does law do...the case hangs for years and years...and ultimately if the case is proved...the good boy rapist is now a guest of the government for 10 years...he would be given clothes...food..shelter...everything comfortable...why not....man he raped a woman
or God knows how many before this one...
A question for all the tax payers of this country...
How can you tolerate that the money u toil hard for...you pay taxes out of it...how can you bear that this same money is being used to feed those bloody rapists..???
I know...simply hanging my the neck...is too a small punishment for such men...but its only the worst we can give...But alas if those cases move up quickly...
The president also should not give reprieve to such evil men
After all this nation is our motherland...and if you cant show respect to women...how can you help in progress of the nation...and a rape is one perfect example to show how much that man respects the woman class...
Also...its astonishing...that many a times its relative or a close friend who is the culprit
Even doctors tell u that is u have a gangrene in any part of your body that part has to be removed
Then why not these men...Only a strict action can decrease...the alarming increase of rape cases in India...
So a wake up call to everyone reading this...
First of all...stop calling rape a stigma...
The attitude of society is generally more sympathetic towards the culprit than the victim
People wake up...support a death sentence for rape...for a time bound disposal of rape cases
for justice...Because not only are you going to bring justice to one victim
but you may prevent many more such happenings in near future...
As observed by Justice Arjit Pasayat:
" While a murderer destroys the physical frame of the victim, a rapist degrades and defiles the soul of a helpless female."
And such men certainly don't deserve a comfortable stay in prisons
and neither do we tax payers deserve our hard earned money being blown up like this
and also...that victim also doesn't deserve a solitary and abandoned life
WAKE UP INDIANS
wake up...

that was a strong and very touchy subject you wrote upon tush...but i think it was ritten with an anger which needs 2 be lighted evry now and again...i just want 2 add to it by asking ppl as 2 why is it tht this issue of rape is picked upon just when the case occurs...its given the hype.....things move n then suddnly cease outta nowhr.....

umm...well as 4 the punishmnt... to me more than death sentence there is a bigger and a worse punishmnt...and i believe its apt 4 such a crime...it is tht of castration....its cruel..and yet i think nothing cud b a bettr punishmnt 4 such monsters

I realise this may seem alittle dark, so forgive me in advance^.^

Firstly I don't think anyone can get too worked up over the issue of 'rape', it's emotional through and through... I have no idea what I'd do if I was told a friend of mine was raped. All I know is that I get sick to my stomach just contemplating such a thing.

Secondly, I prefer the idea of castration followed by a death sentence, as opposed to one or the other. Rape is totally inexcusable and completely intolerable. If I were president I'd adopt a zero tolerance on rape and murder, and if you were caught then there would be some seriously heavy consequences. Consequences so bad it would be enough to stop 99% of these two crimes instantly... but thats just me...

Politics - A profession

Note: This article was originally published on 18 March 2009, 01:10 on this blog and has been thoughtfully revised on 30 January 2026, 12:00 noon to reflect fresh insights and updated context. This post is loosely inspired by the  TATA Tea a d  where this politician goes to ask for votes and a voter asks him for his qualification and work experience the the important 'job' that he is embarking upon. The politician laughs at the voter, asking him what job is the voter referring to. The voter responds, "The job to run the country". Do politicians in other countries view politics as a profession? Or is politics viewed similarly across international boundaries? The best way of course to find out is go to that ever useful tool for professionals - LinkedIn.  Here are the results: Barrack Obama Hillary Clinton Sarah Palin The apparently technologically challenged Senator   John McCain. I also came across many politicians, prime ministers who have LinkedIn profiles. While ...

Inspector Sharma-India salutes you

Its a sad day for the nation as it bids the final farewell to Delhi police inspector Mohan Chand Sharma. He died on Friday in an encounter with the terrorists who were involved in the Delhi bomb blasts. The nation could've rejoiced today with the successful operation of killing 2 terrorists and nabbing one, if not for the painful loss of this brave soul. He was the first one to enter the building where the terrorists were said to be hiding. Just think of the courage displayed by this man in the hour of need. As he knocked on the door, he heard some commotion going on inside. So he went inside through another door and was shot at. His team members swung into action after this and it was all over in the blink of an eye. Though he was taken to the hospital, Sharma succumbed to his injuries soon. He was a tough cop who has taken part in many successful encounters and brought laurels to the Delhi police force, but sadly this one proved his last. The terrorists who were killed were not m...
