Very familiar situation, isn’t it? Especially when giving up can be so easy? Fight that inner demon, digging deep for strength, which is there all the time!
We often struggle to fight our inner demons, at times we give in however most of the times its our willpower and strength that pulls us through our encounter with the beast within…
She whispered into my ears, “Shhhhh you can count on me, I can be your intimate and trustworthy friend” I was enamoured by her persona… She was like the Pan piper playing her magic pipe My intoxicated steps get drawn towards her.. I said “But why can’t I see you clearly?” Her shrieking laughter pierced my ears… She said with a deep whizzing voice “Allow me to take charge of you” Her persuasion led me to surrender… Feeling unleashed, she said with her shrill voice “Let’s go for a ride…” And roared in rage as she marched ahead Her face turned scarier than a demon with horns and hooves I felt as if she has spell a cast on me It will be too late if I don’t master her.. Standing firm, I try and gather the power to harness her I knew I can’t feed her anymore, I have to find a way to overpower her… I hurl at her with all my strength and choke her by her neck… At the count of three………She lay vanquished as I commemorate my heroic destiny over my Alter Ego….

If you want to get back to work after a break, here’s the ultimate guide to return to work programs in India from tech, finance or health sectors - for women just like you!
Last week, I was having a conversation with a friend related to personal financial planning and she shared how she had had fleeting thoughts about joining work but she was apprehensive to take the plunge. She was unaware of return to work programs available in India.
She had taken a 3-year long career break due to child care and the disconnect from the job arena that she spoke about is something several women in the same situation will relate to.
More often than not, women take a break from their careers to devote time to their kids because we still do not have a strong eco-system in place that can support new mothers, even though things are gradually changing on this front.
No law in the country recognises enabling the rapist to walk free after marrying the survivor. However, in reality, it is something that families and communities often push for.
In the same week where the Delhi High Court on Wednesday, 11 May, saw a split decision on the constitutionality of the marital rape exception, another equally reactionary decision was handed by a divisional bench of the Supreme Court when they set aside the conviction and sentence of a man who had repeatedly raped his 14 year old niece
The facts of the case are simple. The accused, K Dhandapani, enticed his 14 year old niece with the promise of marriage and raped her several times. The family came to know of the offence when the girl became pregnant, and a case was lodged against him under the Protection of Child from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012. After trying his case, in 2018, the Sessions Court found him guilty on all three counts, and convicted him and sentenced him to 10 years rigorous imprisonment. The accused appealed to the Madras High Court which upheld the conviction and the sentence in 2019.
The girl gave birth in 2017, before the case came up in court. Despite the pending case against him, he continued to have sexual relations with the girl, and she gave birth to her second child at the age of 17.
