#Poetry. Here is a short poem on the feelings of a mother as she holds her baby close, a poem that expresses all that motherhood is about.
As a mother our greatest wish is to see our children happy & content in life. There is no stone that a mother will leave unturned in order to shield her child from harm. A mother’s first instinct is not her own survival but the survival of her child. Some thoughts.
When the path ahead is unclear and the going is tough, When the road ahead is strewn with stones rough, Hold my hand and trust my instinct, I’ll take you through life, on to paths distinct.
When you are depressed and are feeling sad When the things around you all appear to be bad Lean on my shoulder, cry a bit on it Put all your troubles on my lap, whilst near me you sit.
When your brain is muddled and thinking is fuzzy When you believe you are going to go stark, raving crazy. Whisper your troubles into my ear And I’ll guide you onto thoughts, crystal clear.
When you are confused & appear to lose your focus When things around you seem to be in hocus-pocus Close your mind and lend me your thoughts Let me be your brain, let me call the shots.
When your eyes appear to un-see, what’s clear as a picture? When everything around you is losing its structure. Just close your eyes and let yourself be I promise, I’ll be there for you, for you I shall see.
If ever in doubt, ever in an ache, Always remember and this truth never shake; I’ll always be there, just being your shadow Will never leave you, in misery, to wallow.
Born of my womb, we are connected, By threads that for the world could well be undetected. Our bond shall triumph over the biggest travail, The fates may rail against us, but to no avail.
My love shall shield you from all harm, It will protect you like a lucky charm. As your mother, this much I do vow To this strength of motherhood, I bow.

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.
