Ageing into your forties does not have to be about letting go of a younger self. It can be the starting point of a shift in perspective and your next step to growth.
Forty is a strange age, A strange age indeed, More curious than you can think, As with a jolt you realize, That you have passed half of your age, Just in a blink.
Forty is a strange age, A strange age indeed, More strange then you can imagine, As now the fears which, Made you restless earlier, Are no where to be seen.
Forty is a strange age, A strange age indeed, More queer than you might understand, As now you ignore the things, Which earlier you could, Never tolerate or withstand.
Forty is a strange age, A strange age indeed, More amazing your life becomes, Having aced the art of handling every problem small and great, What others will say, Don’t matter to you anymore, Nor do you care.
Forty is a strange age, A strange age indeed, More happening than the other stages of your life, The age where you halt your run to act according to others, And stop proving, That you are a good mother,daughter in law or wife.
Forty is a strange age, A strange age indeed, More placid,calm and serene, Where you start loving yourself all over again, Your affair with yourself, Once again you revive and begin.
Forty is a strange age, A strange age indeed, The age when you start, Giving time to your passions and dreams Again you start with vigour new, To discover new avenues.
Forty is a strange age, A strange age indeed, Because you have realized, That life is uncertain, And even for yourself, You have to live.

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.
Love cannot be imposed Stalkers speak of love, which in a few minutes turns deadly when they are rejected by the woman.
Trigger Warning: This speaks of stalking, violence against women, and murder by a stalker, and may be triggering to survivors.
