Thanks for your comment.

Best, as always.

What I was saying was victim-blaming is our national pass-time, no doubt. Reminds me of Mrs Sheila Dixit saying girls in Delhi who step out of their homes late at night were being adventurous (and hence might get murdered).

I would love to participate, but I’d like to read and encourage for the time being. My posting, reading of blogs, and commenting has gone down recently as you might have noticed and it will continue like this for the near future.

Thanks for the offer. :D

Part of the reason has to do with our culture, we prefer shrill high-decibel rhetoric instead of refined debate.

What can be done? That is really a hard (but relevant) question.

I would have written much longer, but decided to cut it short once I got the point across. Much harder to keep up with blogging while traveling.

Take care.

Hope all is well in your stretch of the woods.
