Her Story II
Bijaya’s Phone rang.
“Yes Momma, I’m with
Dizzu and Shreena! What? OMG! How? Oh no! Ok Mamma! Sure Momma don’t worry your
daughter is young enough now, she can take care herself. Oh no Momma, That’s
too much. Why are you worrying about me that much? I know Momma. Ok Momma. I will
be in time. Love you too Momma.” Bijaya took a long breath after phone in
conversation.
‘This is too much yar!
Where the hell is our government? What the hell they are doing? Mother F***er
rapist are walking freely on the street, and we girls always have to be worried
about our own security in our own country, even in our own yard.” Suddenly she
turned as angry injured tiger.
Shreena and I were
unknown about the telephone conversation. We just heard one way, and saw each
other, I asked her with the eye sign ‘what happen to her?’ Shreena replied with
the help of lips and head, ‘I don’t know!’
We both stayed quiet and
saw in her eyes

HER STORY
Sunday, 13th November
2015, I woke up at late morning. Due to the boarder blockaded, political
instability of Nepal, Terai movement, life in Kathmandu and surroundings were facing
terrible headache, thought people were struggling to make situation normal. And
I was emotionally injured bird who was having huge pain of Love. Kathmandu was busy
as always, shops/malls were waiting for costumers as the vulture waiting to the
dead body. Sunday, my day off, I didn’t have special task to do thus made a
plan to hang out with some closest one. I made a call for Srijana, Bijaya and
shreena, and call them go for coffee at Barista Lavatzza. Srijana called back after
10 minutes and said she has to go somewhere else, but Bijaya and Shreena gave
me answer of ‘Yes’. Left home, waited 15 minutes a public vehicle, I took a
micro to the destination, which was full of crowd. I reached Kathmandu mall
first, I thought to go to book shops till they arrived. Suddenly, changed my
mind, I just feel to walk down to the king’s way. Plugged my earphone, played a
music and walk along. Been to the Narayanhiti gate and walk back twice in the
same road as a lost person, done some window shopping, then saw the coffee shop
and stepped in to the java near to king’s way. Soft melodious music was playing
softly. The bottles of wine and whiskey were smiling at the bar rag. Walls were
painted with dark wooden color. Coffee brewer machine was standing inside
corners, some waiters were standing behind the bar, some of busy with coffee
brewing, and some of busy offering the service, beautiful lady was busy in the
cashing up. Old paintings were hanging in a wall. Black soft sofa and table of
glasses were keeping with good seating arrangement. Beautiful flowers were blooming
at the vase, most of the original plants were in line with at the floor near
the windows. Smoking zone was outside near to the window where a guy with
guitar was hiding inside him with the smoke. Different types of customers were
there for taking rest, some of them were waiting for their friends, and some of
them were having tea/coffee. I grabbed a seat in the middle.
Again I have to tell my girls
that they have to come king’s way because I had changed the location.
Hello, Dijju where are you?
Bijaya received my phone call within a second.
Darling I came down to the Kings
way, where are you?

‘Hope and expectation are growing gradually: Women and children of rural areas of Parbat Districts are being empowered through the support of different organization.
Nowadays most of the social lives
are affecting by the development work within the society, different NGOs and
INGOs are working for the brining changes in the society and uplifting the
livelihood of rural people. Some time media spread the rumor of activities of
NGOs and INGOs, most of the time they were criticizing that NGOs and INGOs are
dollar farming. However, NGO/INGOs are being helping hands of Government. They are
reaching to the people where government are not being able to cover, they are
trying to develop the society. Due to the activities of NGOs and INGOs many people
are benefiting in different ways, such as education, health, nutrition,
livelihood even engaging in social sectors. Comparing to past years, impacts
can be seen in the society such as women are conducting formal programs,
children taking classes in coeducation system, dalit and poor people also involving
in different sector of social activities.

जीवन

भुमरी अनि परिस्थितीको खेलहरुमा
जीन्दगीको
लडाईं लड्दै पड्दै जिवनलाइ खोज्दै थिए
कहिले
अर्काको लागि त कहिले आफ्नै पहिचानको लागि
असहज र व्याकुलता भित्रको अन्तरद्वन्दमा फस्दै थिए
असहज र व्याकुलता भित्रको अन्तरद्वन्दमा फस्दै थिए

Objectifying women in the media: A representation of women is creating a sexually object and they only can be good mother and wife through patriarchal institution like media
Most of the advertisements are
portraying men as a masculine and women as a feminine figure. For instance,
advertising for powerful, big, and popular things like iron-rod, cement, and
engineering works is represented by male in contrast beauty products like
lotion, creams, and grocery product are often represented by female. Thus, in most
cases men are seen in technological advertisement as a brand ambassador of
expensive bike, smart phone, and laptop-computer. In contrast, women are often
seen in sexuality advertisement, such as standing behind cars, holding balls in
their bikinis. Additionally, they often found objectifying in the advertisement
of cosmetic products and grocery products like fair and lovely, shampoo, oil,
rice, milk, and noodles, which are considered feminine. Objectification, for Kant, involves
the lowering of a person, a being with humanity, to the status of an object
(http://plato.stanford.edu). In public sphere where media industry is
run by male may be one of the reasons for patriarchy in advertisements. Hence,
in this paper I am going to look at ‘is the print media objectifying women?’,
‘Can this be considered as enhancing or spreading patriarchy in the society?’,
and ‘Are women objectified for male entertainments?’
