"Cry for a better world to live, cry for a space for every child to live, with dignity, honour, smile on the face"
“Cry for a better world to live, cry for a space for every child to live, with dignity, honour, smile on the face”
I heard a cry, Deep there in my heart, That longed to say something. Hiding my face in false smiles.
I have walked along, Never knowing how to tell the truth. Somewhere I hear a deep cry.
Hoping to see someone to stand by me Console me, Pat me, Enthuse me, Hug me, And say, Stand up dear- For you are not alone, Raise your voice today, To see your sisters Live a better tomorrow!
Your cries and sorrow shouldn’t go in vain, For you carried so long the pain.
Let it die today, no longer shall you cry and shed tears. In the years to come. After all its not the way you want to live.
Cry for a better world to live, Cry for a space for every child to live with dignity, honour, smile on the face. Neither denied of her rights, Nor succumbed to situations Or being harassed for Being a girl! Let all of us raise our Hands to say #No means No!

If you want to get back to work after a break, here’s the ultimate guide to return to work programs in India from tech, finance or health sectors - for women just like you!
Last week, I was having a conversation with a friend related to personal financial planning and she shared how she had had fleeting thoughts about joining work but she was apprehensive to take the plunge. She was unaware of return to work programs available in India.
She had taken a 3-year long career break due to child care and the disconnect from the job arena that she spoke about is something several women in the same situation will relate to.
More often than not, women take a break from their careers to devote time to their kids because we still do not have a strong eco-system in place that can support new mothers, even though things are gradually changing on this front.
A married woman has to wear a sari, sindoor, mangalsutra, bangles, anklets, and so much more. What do these ornaments have to do with my love, respect, and commitment to my husband?
They: Are you married? Me: Yes They: But You don’t look like it Me: (in my Mind) Why should I?
Why is being married not enough for a woman, and she needs to look married too? I am tired of such comments in the nearly four years of being married.
I believe that anything that is forced is not right. I must have a choice. I am a living human, not a puppet. And I am not stopping anyone by not following any tradition. You are free to do whatever you like to do. But do not force others. It’s depressing.
