Pooja Chauhan the girl from Rajkot has been in news for all the wrong reasons. Some are amused, some including the media is busy ridiculing her and some are plain indifferent to her plight. But the bottomline is she did became a fodder for gossip, media space and casual conversations....what we (including me) all have forgotten is that she is at the end of the day a person who wanted to get heard.
what she did was not just unusual but also gutsy. I mean how many of us will actually strip down in public just to get heard. we will succumb to our pain and eventually internalise it. The poor girl was time and again being tortured and ill treated by her in laws and husband and like any law abiding citizen who still has some hope on this country's police forces, she did the legitimate thing of complaining. But when they did not bother to even listen to her let alone file a complain. she thought of doing something outrageous.
Outrageous she did but for her some cause. It is really sad to know we Indians go gaga over some female astronaut who is just remotely connceted to India and debate about women empowerment, there still exists girls like Pooja who need to do the unusual to get heard for a legitimate reason.
So much for women empowerment!

Yes doing something outrageous speaks about the person's hapless state.But then there are organizations(NGO's) which are ready to help people out but how many are aware.That is the question to be addressed.
Besides the media which does the honours by highlighting the act could have done a better job if they had brought to light her plight.This would have also prevented the person from taking this extreme measure.The problem is this will encourage people to repeat such acts rather than using common sense.
