Despite all the outcry over the brutal murder of the little girl from Kathua, we are only waiting until the next such episode of brutality occurs.
They were shamelessly resolute
To teach my tribe a lesson
So they set their hungry gaze on me
Waiting for that opportune slot of the day
And then they seized me
While I was alone
My horses returned to their sojourn
But I lay motionless
Like a sumptuous piece of a wild hunt
On that land they call pious!
They savored me scrupulously
For days together
Relishing every bit of my eight year old anatomy
Even when the last gulp of air had skipped
Out of my frail lungs
Now that I have left your brutal world
My soul is savaged forever!
But for the time being
You may conveniently exhibit
A sea of outcry
Condemn, protest, paint posters,
Fast unto death, alter the law
Colour it communal
Or shake your collective conscience
By turning your display profiles all black
By the way
I was an ordinary girl
Not your beloved daughter or sister!
So let the public outrage over my inflictions
Soar, simmer and submerge
Into hollow assurances
Hefty compensations and
Years of a painstaking judicial journey
Please carry on the euphoria
Until another girl surfaces
Adds to the existing statistics
And your heads hang in shame once again!

As a mother, Neha had always been there for her daughter. Why couldn't her daughter be there for her when Neha needed someone to talk to?
Neha was having severe problems with her periods. Her periods were highly irregular.
Once they had stopped altogether for 8 months after a long period of three years of hot flashes, and she was hopeful that her menopause had arrived. But presumably not so! She had heavier than usual period soon after.
These intermittent on-and-off intervals of period puzzled her a lot. Not that she hadn’t shown to the gynaecologists, but the prolonged period of menopause was very irritating and difficult.
