Irony of "We must change our mentality"
Here’s is a story that can make the answer a bit interesting
Dec 16,Year of 2012 was about to end. It was a cold winter night. Another busy day about to end. However in a city that never sleeps, it was hardly the time to shut the drapes.
Rajiv just sat to watch Arnab Goswami’s “Nation wants to know”.Apparently the subject of Women Empowerment wasn’t something he was really interested in initially.”Gosh,this guy talks a lot!!”wondered Rajiv .But whatever he saw made perfect sense.His excitation levels were about to reach new levels.In fact , he decided to put a motivational status on the issue in social networking site ,even before the discussion ended, just to show his 15-min knowledge in subject , expecting some likes .
That was the day Rajiv decided to give a shit about taboos in India and decided to make this country safe for women. ”Let me go out for a while before coming up with plan and roadmap to achieve my dream”
“Let’s go out for a long drive” exclaimed Rajiv to his sister Latha.
Latha, a simple , shy girl ,who mostly stays indoor ,wanted to grab this opportunity as this may probably be the only time to see the street lights on.Even though she was pursuing engineering ,she was always her daddy’s little daughter. She decided to pull all her marketing lessons learnt to persuade her father.
“When Life gives you lemons,make Lemonade”

“When Life gives you lemons,make Lemonade”
By the time,she succeeded in her motives,Rajiv already set his hair,cleaned his shoes,tugged in an expensive shirt ,plugged in ear phones ,took the car off garage ,all the list of activities,she aspired to do one day.Rajiv and Latha ,wanted to have a vision to change their life.For them ,this moment is more than a mere drive.They were dreaming big,a dream to follow their heart.Just to add up to atmosphere,he decided to put on some motivational speeches on sterio.
“Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible”
Just when the time limit for the drive was about to expire, they heard a man screaming for help desperately .What are some of the best examples of hypocrisy in India?

Just when the time limit for the drive was about to expire, they heard a man screaming for help desperately .
They turned around to see a young man covered in blood,naked ,miserable in condition ,needing urgent medical help. But he wasn’t alone. There she was,lying in a pool of blood, seeming to be somewhat dead. For the first time, Latha felt how lucky she was to be in the car.
Rajiv sticking to his seat,”I wish I could help.But Latha isn’t supposed to be out after 10.It’s already 9:50”
Latha , feeling as helpless as the ones gathered around them.
”Oh poor girl!!Parents are right for a reason.You shouldn’t be out after 7”
“We should help them “ Latha shaking her brother’s hands.
“We should help them “ Latha shaking her brother’s hands.
Rajiv ,quick in his words,”Are you out of your mind?Look at these naked bunnies.What if ,something happens to them in our car?We will be behind the bars .Do you want to be a part of it?”
Latha ,still in shock,was figuring out her reply,not that it would influence his brother’s decision ,but atleast there is question wanting her opinion.She took a mental notes of the entire situation and finally decided to go onboard with his brother.It was indeed a tough choice.
Meanwhile, radio’s words were silenced
“Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others. Unsuccessful people are always asking, 'What's in it for me?”
“Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others. Unsuccessful people are always asking, 'What's in it for me?”
SCENE3-ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
Latha finally reached home safely,hugged her parents to show her need for protection.So did Rajiv,but for raising his sister not like the girl he saw on the road.
While Rajiv was working on his plan to reach his goal, he decided to switch on the TV just to get some more motivation.This time he saw the headlines of “young girl raped and thrown from the bus” pouing all over the news. It was enough to generate the spark.Only thing it needed was a match stick.
Well ,that came along the following day,when one of his friends ,called to join the protest against the ongoing events.
Rajiv knew “This is the opportunity,I have been waiting for.Finally I am setting the misplaced pieces.”
Latha joined as she could easily recollect the “Life and Lemons” proverb at correct times.Soshe once again tricked her parents and signed all the required assurances to join his brother and the crowd on streets.
