Enlist yourself for the good stuff here

If you are associated with India and haven’t been living under a cave lately, I am sure you have already heard about the horrifying news that came out of Kolkata about a fortnight ago.

I am sure you have also seen, and probably also shared, a bunch of posts talking about how enraged we ought to be that such a heinous crime has been committed and to top it off, there seems to have been an attempt to botch up the investigation and to protect the culprits.

I am sure you have also seen, and probably also shared, a bunch of posts talking about how we can actually solve this very real, very sad problem of our time.

I am also sure that because it has been more than a week already, your attention has been pulled towards some other incident which now seems to be the biggest thing to focus on. And it may actually be a big thing to focus on.

That said, before we move on from this incident as just-another-one-of-those-incidents, I would invite you to spend some time with me on a video I shared on The Unlearning Playground talking about some aspects of this incident that I think have been missing from our public discourse. 

I genuinely feel that this video covers the most real solutions for this problem.
It also covers what constitutes the real awareness that we actually need to have and spread to combat this sort of evil.
And it also covers what we need to do as individuals to become a part of the solution and not a part of the problem.

I hope to see you in the playground, with an open mind and an open heart.

Until next time.
Peace out.
