Farming - A curse in India?

When i was walking back home on 12th march around 9pm , I saw a huge pile of tomatoes lying on the ground and some people fighting with the stray dogs to get the share of those free tomatoes , as i was wondering as to what's happening there i saw a man gloomily looking at the pile.
As usual my curiosity always wins and i asked him what was all the tamasha about,He told that those tomatoes are the one's that was grown in his farm in Magadi(near Bangalore) which he had got and failed to sell as the retailers were not ready to pay even 2rs/kg.As it would cost him more to transport those back he had left it piled up there.
I remembered my attempt at gardening when i was in 3rd standard or so when we were taught about seed germination, My first patch of coriander leaves from soaked seeds are still a fond memory ,why then? How often do you feel proud of a single tomato or even a bean grown in your small vegetable patch.The farmer sitting there would have felt the same pride and pleasure on his patch too, more so when his livelihood depends on it ,but the sad state is he will not be able to support his family with the earning nor would he feel the pride anymore.
Isn't a person like him who will either fall towards suicide,so that he will get a death amount that will at least keep his family alive, or leave the land untilled and search for some unskilled job in cities ,adding another mouth to be fed,instead of feeding several?
What is happening here is sheer injustice , denying a man of basic amenities who not only works hard for his living but is also responsible for filling all our bellies.
What is our, for the people, by the people ,to the people,government doing on this one ? Right since i was a kid i have always seen that the best thing they do is to waive off farmer loans or announce certain amount of money on death of farmer who commits suicide.
Is it really benefiting the farmer is a question to be asked.. Instead of loan waiver which would mainly help landlords/plantation owners(As i really doubt whether our banks give loans to small scale farmers who really need it), wouldn't fixing a fair price for all food grains/vegetables etc help them ?
Wouldn't a easier method to buy all their products from the farm directly avoid the pain they have to go through ,transporting ,dealing with the middle men ?
Wouldn't usage of cold storage or appropriate storage mechanism after buying help ,Instead of talking about some bullshit story of BT seeds which will make the farmer dependent on others for yet another parameter(How often do you read in news that the government doesn't have enough stock to supply fertilizers/water/current to farmers? It will next be the turn of seeds if this is allowed!)
Is it so difficult to carry out some measures, when it is a question of lives of crore's of people who depend on agriculture ,also noting that at the end we all need food to live and it is a matter of our nation's self sufficiency too?
Now if anyone says forget government there are countless NGO's and microfinance which helps them finance the question we need to ask is are they really helping,as we read many many scandals..
At the end of this write up the problem of those countless farmer still exists and there is some farmer drinking the pesticide to kill the weeds to kill himself of all the miseries he is facing abandoning his wife and kids to the mercy of fate..

5 Reasons Why its Good to be or not to be a Woman -- Women's day special :)

Tomorrow being women's day (march 8th) just wanted to list down top 5 reasons from the top of my head as to why it's great to be one also 5 reasons why it sucks to be one(Though many hold in Indian context):

Now let me start of with the benefits
1.You have to pay less tax on your pay than your male counterparts.
2.Assume you are caught by a traffic police you can always escape with a suggestion of a tear drop same holds for any argument you have on non work environment ( I haven't and will never try this one though ).
3.There is reservation for women in bus , also how can a bill on reservation in election for women that will be put forth tomorrow be forgotten.Also talks about reservation in work place(Trust me we don't need it)
4.You always can experience and express all your emotions without any hindrance.(It could be while watching movies like legally Blonde,Kate and Leopold,Serendipity or Notting hill too :D )
5.You can always keep yourself busy or pep up your mood and never get bored for hours by just window shopping.

Now coming to reasons why it sucks though a huge list is possible let me confine to 5 points
1. Irrespective of how hard/smart you work in most of the places you have to be far better than guys to reach the same position as they do.*
2. Irrespective of your Grey matter it is always the case that you will be judged for your looks than your brains! . Which frustrates any woman with self esteem.*
3.Its always a woman who has to give birth to the child and go through the process and its really unfair that it is neither transferable nor there is a easy upload download method.**
4. I guess this one comes even without mentioning that working women are expected to multitask day in and day out ,as both home and work are now no longer an option but mandatory fields one stimulates emotions and other brain.(A homemaker is taken for granted to do all the work at home)**
5.Last but not the least you have to go in search of restrooms to Pee! and hygiene in bathrooms a major reason for discomfort..

*No offense meant nor it doesn't have any bearing with my employer !!!
**Info based on others experience !

After reading this if it has occurred to you that the tree is totally unbalanced where the negatives by far outweigh the positives , Yes that is the fact though not for people like me but for countless souls struggling day in and day out.
But it is not pity that is expected but respect because every woman is proud of herself , A word of appreciation is all that is needed .
For all the good done without any expectation go now and wish all the woman in your life, be it your mother ,sister,colleague,friend, neighbor...
