There was a man who was born into a Reddy household. He always wanted to be join the police force when he grew up. He achieved his dream and went on to become the DGP. But one day, he made a statement which made people lose his respect for him. He said ‘Rapes and murders are not strictly under the control of the police. I am telling you a frankly down-to-earth point. People are turning out to be more fashionable. Even in villages they are wearing salwar kameezes. All these provoke and this cannot be under the control of the police. So rapes increase or decrease…. What happened next? Read our first edition of Tangy Tuesday Picks for the year 2012. 🙂

Tangy : Get a life, you Morons… is what Vijay Nair says to men who correct women on the way they dress and “provoke” men. It’s not because of how they dress. It is because they are women…plain and simple, says Vijay. He describes how these men want to just put women in their place, because they are finding their place in every other area of work.
- Who : Narendra Shenoy
What : My views on the Lokpal bill and the UID project
