In view of a recent controversy where a young, former child
actress was arrested in a prostitution racket, I have noticed something very
shocking. There are thousands who have opposed to the news article stating only
her details while masking those of her clients. No, that is not the shocking
part – it is the fact that they too have been sharing her name, photo and other
details in their post. When we expect media to be sensitive about the identity
of the girl in an alleged case, why are we ourselves denying her that privacy
through our “shares” and “likes” on social media sites? If you have no idea
what that incident was, I request you not to search to enlighten yourself. This
is something you can live without. I am not here to argue about whether what
she did was right or wrong. I am not here to support or condemn her actions.
All I am asking is we do what we want the media to do - Respect the privacy of
the girl when they are so respective of the privacy of those wealthy
businessmen.

I make sure I am the person representing my girl-tribe in moments where their skills are sought for. This also reminds me of Cher's interview where she says that instead of marrying a rich man, she was the Rich Man ! I'm so sick of running as fast as I can Wondering if I'd get there quicker If I was a man And I'm so sick of them coming at me again 'Cause if I was a man Then I'd be the m...
