'You and me' - this poem explores what it means to be a pair - for without either one, this unit wouldn't exist.
‘You and me’ – this poem explores what it means to be a pair – for without either one, this unit wouldn’t exist.
Tonight as the thunder-storm rattles the windows And the raindrops splash against the glass-windows, I can almost hear you whispering sweet-nothings into my ear.
Tonight as the thunder-storm makes the tree leaves swish And the raindrops descend upon the parched earth, I can almost smell your distinct male scent.
Tonight as the rain-clouds veil the moon And the raindrops draw a curtain around me, I can almost taste your nicotine-burnt lips on my tongue.
Because on nights like this, You and I come dangerously closer.
Because everything comes in pairs in the universe. Pleasure and Pain. Sun and Rain. You and Me. For without ‘You’, there won’t have been any ‘Me’. Without you, none of my struggles would exist. Without you, none of my depressions would exist. ‘You’ and ‘Me’ co-exist in two different worlds, Light-years apart. Nights like this bring you closer to me From a world that exists beyond the curtain of rain. And write our very own love-story.
For every love, there exists a story. Even for the unrequited ones, too.

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.
