We need to listen to our children, really pay attention to what they are not saying, to be really able to understand them. A poem.
Our children…our youth, let’s talk to them and listen ‘more’.
Outer behaviour is all, we try to ‘cure’;
There’s more behind , … we need to ‘explore’ .
Let them cry, laugh and express, all they want to ‘pour’;
As caregivers and mentors, … we must never close any ‘door’.
We are by their side, for them to share ‘more’;
And of this, let them be very ‘sure’.
This alone, can help their present and future,
Become safe and ‘secure’!
Our children … our youth, let’s talk to them and listen ‘more’.
There’s enough in this world, that tries to ‘ allure’…
Even the more ‘mature’…
Every mistake can be made good, please do ‘reassure’!
Our children… our youth, let’s talk to them and listen ‘more’.
What they become to impress others, is fashion no ‘more’.
What lies within and ‘pure’…
Is the true wealth, they need to ‘insure’.
An exam or contest…, whatever they ‘score’;
Happiness lies right where they are, and not elsewhere to ‘adore’.
Our children… our youth, let’s talk to them and listen ‘more’
It can be fun, but not a joke ‘anymore’;
Let this be real, and not a ‘folklore’…
Our children … our youth, let’s talk to them and listen ‘more’

The plight of Indian women's mental health often goes unnoticed. Co-founders Vivek Satya Mitram and Pooja Priyamvada conceived the idea of the Bharat Dialogues Women & Mental Health Summit to address this.
Trigger Warning: This contains descriptions of mental health trauma and suicide, and may be triggering for survivors.
Author’s note: The language and phraseology used are not the author’s words but the terms and narrative popularly used for people living with mental illnesses, and may feel non-inclusive. It is merely for putting our point across better.
I have seen how horrifying was the treatment given to those with mental illness.
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.
