Feroz Shah Kotla Fort           As I was a little girl I love to watch Aladdin. Not because I was young and obsessed with cartoons but because it made me believe that there are supernatural things like genie and the magic carpet. All the time I ended up thinking that how would my life be if I had a genie who could grant all my wishes... But as time goes I realized that there are no such thing as genie. But some people claimed that genie really do exist and they reside in this old fort....            Feroz Shah Kotla Fort is one of the ancient structures in Delhi, India. It was built by Sultan Feroz Shah Tughlaq in 1354. According to the historians, this fort was built when the Sultan decided to shift his capital from Tughlaquabad to Firozabad because of the scarcity of water at Tughlaquabad. This fort was built on the banks of river Yamuna to solve the problem of water shortage.            This is a hug...

ARE WE EQUAL?

                     In India girls are always treated as inferior in the society. We live in 21 century where all are screaming for the equal right of man and woman. But do we really get it? As per my opinion the answer is NO.          I am a middle class bengali girl. In our society it is always said that there are some lines which a woman should never cross. But how long we will be bounded in the name of the so called society and the so called rituals?             No matter how much we pretend to give equal rights to woman but the fact is from birth to death a woman do not get equal rights at all. Why after marriage only a girl have to leave her parents? If we talk about real equality why a boy can't leave his parents and settle down in his in law's house? Why always a girl is questioned about her virginity? Why can't we ask a boy that? Is this we called equality?  ...
