When we are in pain, what if we can reassure the struggling woman inside us that she is not alone? A sensitively expressed poem.
Hey! Did I just hear something
Was it you screaming
I am sure to hear that loud scorching heat.
But I see your eyes, they are as cold as that of a dead person
Would you ever let me in your eyes?
I am in search of the voice that haunts me
Why don’t you let me know if it’s you
Did you erect a wall to suppress it?
What have they done to you?
You told me that you wanted to sing but
I see there is no music now in your soul
You said you once danced when stars twinkled but
Why are you now still when lightning strikes?
Can I please ask you to dream like you did?
Can I please ask you to ignore or fight back your hurdles?
Can I please ask you to create the best portrait of yourself?
Can I please ask you to be you?
Would you mind putting your happiness ahead of others?
Would you mind stop fearing threats and start to embrace?
Would you mind defining happiness again?
Would you mind If I help you to preserve you?
Come on darling! If you get rejection,
I will be with you
If you feel shaky, I will wrap around.
I am nothing but you.
You have lighted me
Now its my turn.
Try me
Lets begin afresh…

People say that women are the greatest enemies of women. I vehemently disagree. It is the patriarchal mindset that makes women believe in the wrong ideology.
The entire world celebrates International Women’s Day on March 8, 2024. It should be a joyful day, but unfortunately, not all women are entitled to this privilege, as violence against women is at its peak. The experience of oppression pushes many women to choose freedom. As far as patriotism is concerned, feminism is not a cup of tea in this society.
What happens when a woman decides to stand up for herself? Does this world easily accept the decisions of women in this society? What inspires them to be free of the clutches of the oppression that women have faced for ages? Most of the time, women do not get the chance to decide for themselves. Their lives are always at the mercy of someone, which can be their parents, siblings, husband, or children.
In some cases, women do not feel the need to make any decisions. They are taught to obey the patriarchal system, which makes them believe that they are right. In my family, I was never taught to make decisions on my own. It was always my parents who bought dresses and all that I needed.
It is shameful that in today's world too, women are abused and even killed for giving birth to a girl, and the infant's life is also of no value.
Trigger Warning: This deals with domestic violence, suicide, and violence against women, and may be triggering to survivors.
I am so glad that the esteemed courts are now giving the much-required verdicts regarding certain ideologies that were not at all entertained earlier. I mean we all have studied this much biology at our school level and it is our duty (our generation) to educate our elders about it.
Why someone have to lose a life to bring such awareness to the society. Delhi High Court gave this judgement concerning a case that filed by the deceased daughter’s parents against her in-laws. She committed suicide as she was harassed and tortured for dowry and giving birth to two daughters.
