The release of the juvenile who was responsible for the rape and murder of Nirbhaya or Jyoti Singh clearly indicates that you can get away with anything if you are a juvenile. You can rape, murder, steal, bomb a city and yet get away with the minimum amount of punishment because the law recognizes you as a child who has gone wayward and is not adult enough to commit a crime. Justice and punishment should be equal for all irrespective of age. When you are old enough to rape and murder women in cold blood then you are old enough to face the consequences of the crime you had committed. Image the pain and suffering that the parents of Jyoti Singh must be going through at this moment watching the man who killed their beloved daughter ruthlessly walk free.

My 11 year old daughter was having her first periods and the questions she asked left me totally stumped. Why don’t boys have periods, Papa? Do they bleed? When girls get periods as they age, what do boys get? Although I was prepared for all sorts of questions, these questions left me and my wife searching for the right answers. I tried to answer each one of her questions in an honest manner. I said, “My dear, boys do not get periods and they do not bleed. When boys reach the age of 11, 12 or 13 they do not get anything similar to what the girls get. There are many changes that take place in a boy but they are definitely not painful. She was now looking at both me and my wife with a surprised look on her face. Her expressions seemed to suggest that this was totally unfair and that she does not agree with how God had created man and woman. She was shaking her head in a manner that suggested that she was not happy with what we were saying.   Initially we tried to explain to
