Simon Simon !!

There is no need to tell you what makes Simon Cabaret famous. It's not the stage design or the feathers or shiny costumes, it's not the performance, which by the way is good. No,it is all about the ladyboys phenomenon, and Phuket Simon Cabaret certainly can afford the prettiest ones.

Fell in love with the costumes, layout, stage decor. The singers and dancers were just so wonderful.

But the things which caught my heart more than the performers is the world wide tradition display.
The best thing that can ever happen to someone is the opportunity to study the culture, temperament, perceptions and even the prejudices of different nationalities.
In effect, it broadens our horizon and gives us the more reason to believe that we are indeed one people.It's is a small effort to unite the world as one which i am sure touches everybody there at that moment.

How will you feel seeing small eyed people dressed in Indian attire to perform on a Hindi number
(Kaise naino se nain milao sajna from movie "Om Shanti Om")
I felt awesome.

I am glad i got a chance to immerse myself in the many different aspects of each culture.

Clothes or mindset what do u want to change ??

What is Eve Teasing?
Eve teasing is letching, commenting, touching or any other lewd behavior a male subjects a female for fun or out of frustration. Most men think that this is a way of wooing women. Clearly they are mistaken. This is clear violation of the girl's self-respect and personal space.

Do you really think you 'asked for it' when you experienced street sexual harassment?
How often have you found yourself blaming the pair of jeans, the salwar kameez, the skirt, the t shirt? Do you really think it is your fault when you are violated? Do you really think you deserve to be humiliated? Do you really think that it is only certain kind of clothes that result in women experiencing street sexual harassment?



We say NO.
We say there is no such thing as 'asking for it' and we need you to prove that for us/ yourself.

As a women, you already know we can say a lot with our eyes and sharp looks, and it definitely helps avoiding unnecessary awkward situations.

Teach your sons, "Don't do anything with a girl you wouldn't want someone to do with your own sister." That should cover it!


Girls !!! Don’t take it silently, fight for it.

Be a Man, Not a Beggar.

A letter from a boy in deep distress.

Dear Girl,

Today you have refused to marry me beacuse me and my family wanted to ease our happily ever after.You reject me ! This is hard to swallow.
How could you?
How the f*** you had the audacity to decline my proposal?
Let me impress upon you the gravity of your loss .You see I am an extremely well settled professional.
I work for a multinatioanal for businesses based out of the “white world”.
My future is bright as I aspire to go to the “white-world” soon and I plan to settle in those parts of the world in the distant future.
So, by declining my offer your future stands bleak. You have lost the opportunity of a housewife in some B Grade dignify town of north India.Now you also stand to miss out on being a part of my great family.
Our family is a very close-knit unit and you always have the pleasure of the company of my parents 24 X 7.
Privacy is a western concept and we don’t care about stupid western views.
But hey, we have an exceptionally well-decorated completely western style home in Gurgaon!
There are air-conditioners and 40” televisions in each of the 4 bedrooms and we even have a bar- though I must admit I have no clue what is the difference between whiskey and single malt or Martini and Margarita, beer and lager and so on….
We have all the latest “must-have” appliances but I challenge you to find a single book anywhere at home!
The closest things to a book that we have at home are cheque-books!
Books are boring and none of our family has the habit of reading books- they are only useful for passing examinations.
But we are very well educated
I am proud that no one in our family has any hobbies. Our only collective interest, obsession, passion is Money.We are a bunch of living-breathing-f***ing price tags and we love to boast of that at all times- like the house we live in costs 1.25 crores rupees ($0.25 million)- the bar costs 200,000 rupees, the rug costs 40,000, the sofa set costs 80,000- the milk jar costs…..
Money is our real god- the reason why we are all alive and why we are here in this world…

Finally, why did we demand dowry?

You see we married off my younger sister last year and we paid a hefty dowry there.We also bought this great 1.25 crore home.With so much outflow, I am sure you would agree, we need some inflows and what better than getting some dowry? After all, this would have been your home post the marriage and should you not be looking out for the collective well-being of your would-be-in-laws?Consider this, your father would be our relative post the marriage, so is his money not a part of ours in the larger context?
You must be weak in logic Girl!

And then again, I welcome you to look at the demands we forwarded.
All we asked for you to pay for the small insignificant expenses like all the food and drinks, 3 day lodging arrangements, air travel for our 150 strong marriage party, entertainment options along with the usual ubiquitous deliverables like jewelry, clothing, gifts, a car, little cash etc.This is surely not a demand of dowry and there is no reason to over-react, right?

Wasn’t this a small price to pay for the awesomeness my family and me could have brought in your sorry miserable life?

But still you rejected me!
Let me tell you, this is ultimately your loss as you are being deprived of the connubial bliss that you would have encountered with my cultured-modern-educated-wealthy family and me.

Yours Greedy and Needy,

The Awesome Boy

Stop Selling Your Sons

Just to start here let me tell me you a story.A boy is born in a well to do business class family with the golden spoon . All his life he was given all the luxuries without struggling for it. Now a well educated post graduated guy. Post education ultimately he had to get into the family business which has continued from generations. Even before he starts taking responsibility family thinks of his marriage.

So the hunt started but there was a criteria. Out of the 20 gals they saw it ended with the most wealthiest family among the 20 girls. Did you ever think why ?

It is a joy to the boy and his relatives who gets cash, costly dresses, jewelery, furniture, car, property etc etc but it is a curse to the bride's parent who have to bear enormous cost to satisfy the unreasonable demands of the family . Will a little more cash and property make a difference ? All this is taken in the name of love for their daughters/gifts but ultimately it is a dowry.

The parents grow up their daughters with values , give best of the education and make them capable to be independent is that not sufficient ?

Dowry is usually a unspoken requirement in modern days. Depending on social status, education, qualification and affluence of family the amount of dowry can vary significantly. Such practices of wealth acquisition should be stopped.
Stop this to make world a better place to live in .
Stop being greedy.
Stop selling your sons !!!
