The need for sex education- Whay is that even a question??

I don't even see what the other side of this argument is. Sex education should be made mandatory in our schools. Its good that chief minister Parkash Singh Badal feels the need to introduce some personality development classes, but they obviously can't be used as a substitution for sex education.

In a country like India where sex talks are considered a taboo and parents refrain from discussing it with their children, sex education is the only way to ensure that adolescents don' feed on half-baked for them, which is dangerous for them, as well as those around them!

This is something that I came across while I was reading about the need for sex education, and I really wanted to share it with all of you. Do read it.

Blame it on the rains?

Friday rains brought the city to a complete standstill. Whole of page 4 in Sunday Times was devoted to the consequences of the heavy rainfall the capital had witnessed two days earlier.

The tree toll, as reported by NDMC was 100, and over 119 by the MCD, although the residents claim that the figure could be much higher. The main reasons for such a high number of trees getting uprooted are stated to be lack of proper care, trees growing old, and lately concretization around trees. This caused massive traffic jams and major power disruption all over the city. The water logging on the roads that slowed down traffic to such a large extent show how unprepared our city is for rains. One shower and the city comes to a halt!! The MCD also refused to get trees cleared from residential areas because that's not a part of their job. Only public places are supposed to be cleared by them!

Power was disrupted in many areas for as long as 5 hours. Areas in east Delhi, like Mayur Vihar, waited till 10pm for power to be restored. Discoms said that they had to employ extra manpower to attend to the crisis. There were about 12 trippings of 11KV lines. as reported by the NDPL. Some areas had to wait till morning for electricity.

If this is what rains can do to our city, I'd be rather thankful that we are having irregular monsoons. Whats the point of praying for rains in a city like ours which becomes dysfunctional after every shower?
