How can anyone justify or even make sense of the rape of children – 11 month olds or 5-6 year olds? Only twisted minds can contemplate these things.
Objectification, discrimination, ‘man-handling’ in blatant or subtle ways is a part and parcel of a woman’s life. However when one hears of rape, it sends shivers down the spine. Even trying to understand the mind frame of a being who can could violate a 11 month old or a 5 year old is futile.
Below are a few lines to capture the pain…and freedom from it…
Looking up to find the sky There is none…
Flapping hard trying to fly There was no sun…
Straddled in chains for a man’s pleasure Drowned in tears, sympathy in no measure
Darkness looms all around, every whiff of air suffocates An angel smiles a ray of hope, cutting through the shackles of fear
As if magical, the chains loosen and the skies appear
She flies and flies and aims for the sun Doesn’t matter the destination, but for sure there is no return

Directed by Leena Yadav and Anubhav Chopra, Netflix’s latest three-episode documentary ‘House of secrets: The Burari Deaths’ traces what happened with the Bhatia family in 2018. On a usual summer morning, 11 members of the same family were found suspiciously hanging from the roof in the suburb of Burari. Later it was concluded to be an occult ritual gone wrong.
By the time I arrived home I was a tearful wreck. I finally told my sister. She could understand. Should we tell Bhau, our brother? No, she said. “What if he comes with you and gets into a fight with that man?”
Some places just stick in ones head just as some faces do. One such place was Hotel ‘No Name’.

Safety for women in public, starts with respect for women at home - the attitudes are very much linked to each other
New Year 2014 began for me with a news item in many newspapers saying that a 16-year-old girl, who was gang raped twice in a day around two months ago at Madhyamgram in West Bengal and had attempted suicide by setting herself on fire on December 23, succumbed to her injuries at a hospital here on 31st December 2013.
A gang of men had raped the girl on October 25 near her house. Later, the same day, when she was returning home along with her father and mother after lodging a complaint with the local police station, she was again abducted by the same gang and raped.
