A solution for crowded prisons - Send one girl back!

In a TOI report:

"How many of your room mates smoke?'' "Do you drink?'' Pamela could take it no more. Hurt and humiliated, she broke down in the over-crowded court, pleading for privacy in the trial.
[]
The accused, Pragnesh Chhatrada, had come to her apartment to repair a shower. Seeing her alone, he pulled her by the hand and tried to kiss her, Pamela (name changed) told the police.
[]
-------------------------

What made my blood boil was the remark by the defence lawyer: At one point Prajapati said, "If I were a woman and behaved like her (Pamela), one man would go to jail daily.'' Makes me wonder, what would Mr. Prajapati do that would send one guy to jail daily? hmm... And is it the same person going to jail or different people everyday?

Having said that, even if people would go to jail just by being around Pamela, then they should no? Why blame her?

Dear Salman Khan

Salman Khan is everywhere - news channels, music channels, movie channels, random channels - giving interviews and sound bytes.

Happened to catch one of his interviews on NDTV and (SURPRISE!!) was disgusted at the end of it.

For one question he says that he doesnt care about other people's opinions and what they think of him. he does whatever he feels like because thats "him".

For the next question he says that he imposes a dress code on the women in his life because if someone comments on his girl he'll feel really bad - if he hits them he'll feel bad and if he lets them go he'll feel bad. So to avoid all this he instructs his girlfriends to be covered.

And in the same breath he says that he has no double standards. WTF?

I would like someone to explain to him that doing what you want because thats "you" but not letting another individual do what she wants for whatever reasons is called double standards. Your way of thinking - ofcourse we cant hope to change it at your age. Atleast get yourself a good English teacher.
