She’s romanticized She’s idealized Put on a pedestal And immortalized
A symbol of nurture and purity Of sweetness and naivety She is glorified for either Her domesticity or virginity But deprived of her Individuality and sexuality
She personifies compassion and endurance Burdened with suffering and penance Yet she is just a human being With needs, wants and desires unseen
She likes to touch and to feel And to fantasize with zeal If she enjoys porn and sensuality, Why must she feel guilty?
Her urges and desires, Like smoldering fires, Ebb and grow, In a rhythmic flow, Until a climax transpires A moment of bliss She pursues all on her own A private pleasure To be treasured alone
She isn’t a witch or a bitch or a freak with a twitch She’s just a woman with an itch
It’s true Women get horny too And guess what? It’s not new
Girls it’s time to Break free from this secret And to fan the flames Sans the guilt and the regret

This statement may sound cliched, but that is the biggest truth of my life. She is the reason I stopped myself from jumping off a local train years ago. The fact that she was growing inside me, that tiny speck of tissue in my uterus, had the strength to twine around my legs and hold me inside the train.
Alia Bhatt is pregnant and happy about it - it's not our job to accuse her of 'trapping' her partner into marriage or shaming her for the timing of it.
When Alia Bhatt announced that she and her partner, Ranbir Kapoor, were expecting a baby, all I could feel was joy. As a person who has been in awe of Bhatt’s acting skills and dedication, this news genuinely made my day.
However, the joy was soon replaced by anger and frustration when I read the first few comments (from certain unverified Instagram handles) on her pregnancy post. Here are the exact words of those who felt it was okay to question a woman’s choice:
“Baby k liye saadi kiye ho ya saadi k liye baby?” (Did you get married because of this baby or did you get married to make babies?)
