We are conditioned to normalise domestic violence out of fear of abandonment. Thinking that 'trauma bonding' is better than no bonding holds us back from speaking up!
(Trigger Warning: This post may be triggering for survivors of domestic violence. This post has been published especially to honour the International Day For The Elimination of Violence Against Women.)
Everyone said my perfect husband was like Lord Ram…. but this is how he took unfair advantage of my tolerance!
My grandmother was very fond of my husband whose name is synonymous with Lord Ram’s name. Every call she made to my husband started with the bhajan “Aaj sab mil mangal gao, Awadh mai, raam aye hain“. (Hail everyone, sing praises, Lord Ram has come in the kingdom of Awadh.) It was a mandatory welcome song whenever she met him or even spoke to him on the phone. Yes, his attributes were like that of Lord Ram. His attitude, chivalry, persona, fair skin, smile, height, physique and charm illustrate the perfect image of Lord Ram.

The Muse of the Month is a monthly writing contest organised by Women’s Web, bringing you original fiction inspired by women.
Chandrika R. Krishnan is one of the winners for the November 2021 Muse of the Month, and wins a Rs 750 Amazon voucher from Women’s Web. The juror for this month, Anuradha Kumar commented, “This introspective, quiet, story with its depiction of the relationship between two relatively older people is quite impressive. A lifetime spent together can bring familiarity and still allow for many mysteries and secrets. Also, the structure of the story, shifting from an external perspective to an internal monologue is well-done.”
Gul Makai based on the life of Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai, releases on Jan 31st. This should be a must watch with your kids.
A 15 year old Malala was shot by the Taliban for daring to demand that girls be allowed to go to school. In a world where religious fascism is increasing, the movie is a reminder of what is truly important.
“The extremists have shown what frightens them most – a girl with a book,” so tweeted Malala Yousafzai in 2018, after terrorists burnt down 12 schools, at least half of which were girls-only schools, in Pakistan’s Gilgit-Baltistan’s Diamer district. Of course, this came much later. By the time this happened, Malala was already a Nobel Prize winner (the youngest winner so far!). Her story of courage and determination is already well-known, and now it is coming to a screen near you.
Becoming a wife and a mother is often an important part of a woman's life. But that is no reason to give up on your career dreams!

A lot has been said and written about how women are crying from the rooftops to give them ‘special preference’. I feel that women put aside a lot of things to bring about harmony in their respective families, and in turn in the society.
While growing up, their parents are told by one and all to treat the girl child at par with the male counterparts. They send them to the best of schools, colleges and hope that one day they will transform into educated individuals. And it happens.
