Raids on Agra cyber cafes reveal sleaze

Some more terrifying incidents!!!

AGRA: Raids on cyber cafes in this Taj Mahal city have revealed disturbing ramifications of how Internet porn was influencing morals and leading to sexual escapades in the most unlikely of places.Police raids on two cyber cafes, following complaints, found schoolboys and girls in various stages of undress and some of them also in intimate contact, a police official alleged.The raids on in the Sanjay Place commercial complex in the heart of the city found that many of them were showing pornographic films online. The cafes have been sealed."Many cabins just did not even have computers. Several girls hurriedly put on their clothes after they were caught with their boyfriends with their pants down," said an officer of the Hari Parbat police station."The cyber laws are too vague and just not understood here," said a criminal lawyer, who felt that the 15-odd couples in the two cyber cafes at the time of the raids could be charged with obscenity.According to an occupant of the building, young girls skipped their schools, came to the cyber cafes, and changed from uniforms into jeans and tops before watching the movies with their boyfriends.The Hari Parbat police station, meanwhile, was crowded through the day on Monday with parents and hangers on as the drama unfolded and the police considered which laws to book the offenders under.These raids are seen here as a sequel to the much publicised school episode in Delhi in which two students filmed their sexual act through a camera phone and transmitted it by via MMS.This has led to the arrest of three people, including the boy, an IIT student who was allegedly selling the MMS clip and the auction portal baazee.com CEO on which the clip was being sold on the Internet.A police officer said they had swung into action after complaints were received against the cyber cafés."The DPS (Delhi Public School) case in New Delhi has lent an urgency to tackle such crimes," he said.

The emotion called Katta Pai!

    A couple of weeks ago, my husband had inadvertently given three bags of washed clothes to an unknown ironing person. He said some new person had come asking for clothes to iron when he was on the phone, and he had handed them over to him. And now, all his new pants were missing. My first reaction was, “Oh dear! All my good Katta Pais!”   I know I know… but I really couldn’t help it. Katta Pais, or what we call the Big Shopper bags, are not just some random objects; they are, as the new lingo for all things close to the heart goes, an emotion! There have been many Instagram reels by various groups around the theme of Katta Pais. The most hilarious one for me was the one by Vikkals Vikram group when the son informs his mother that he scored cent per cent in Class X Math exam or came state first in Class XII or even that he got a handsomely paying job abroad, her reaction was a simple smile. But when he says that he said no to Katta Pai at a saree shop in line with ...

Hair now, gone tomorrow!

  Today, my husband was pleasantly surprised when he called out from the bathroom for a shampoo bottle. Normally, this would prompt a tirade about his laziness, followed by my hurried hand off of our regular brand of shampoo. But today, I handed him expensive bottles of shampoo and conditioner with a smile, saying, “With love.” Though puzzled, he was happy to indulge in the fancy products. I quietly slipped away before he realised they were the result of one of my hair care experiments gone wrong. Since moving into our new home, my obsession with hair care has reached new heights. Hair loss is such a rampant problem in my community that it’s probably the only topic people don’t argue about in our WhatsApp group. In a desperate attempt to save what’s left of my hair, I’ve tried everything: onion shampoo, rice water conditioner, WoW serum, Adivasi hair oil—you name it, I’ve tried it! Adding insult to injury, my mother delights in reminding me, “You used to have such thick hair I ...

Enough, Just as You Are

“Hey, you’ve put on weight since the last time we met!” This isn’t an uncommon greeting from one of my friends. Trust me, he doesn’t mean to hurt—but somehow, he always does. He’s not a mean guy; in fact, he’s one of those friends I can call in the middle of the night for help. But that’s just his way of talking—not just with me, but with everyone. I’ve tried explaining to him that this sort of comment is body shaming and that it’s neither kind nor funny. But he just waves me off, insisting it’s all harmless fun. The truth? He’s far from alone. Comments like these are ingrained in our everyday conversations, especially among women. Often, they come from people who claim to mean well. Think about it—how many times have you heard a relative or a friend casually drop a remark like, “Your dress seems tighter. Gained weight, huh?” For me, it’s my aunt. She never fails to greet me with, “Enna nalla sappadare pole irukke?!” (Translation: “You seem to be eating well!” ) I know she do...
