Starting A New Business? 7 Key Points To Keep In Mind.
The migrant from the native, Caution thrown to winds, they risk dying to live, The bridges they built with their labour and sweat, Now stained with their tears and blood…
They washed his feet and treated him like God They obsessed over him to get into power When the storm came they forgot That their Gods are hungry and desolate Shut out of the tall gates Left to face their dark fate Trudging miles, empty hands and hollow eyes Allegory of abandoned dreams and hope Poverty and helplessness no less violent to cope The crisis churned the rich from the poor The migrant from the native Caution thrown to winds, they risk dying to live The bridges they built with their labour and sweat Now stained with their tears and blood, No building too tall, no road too long No distance too far can keep them bereft Of their home and hearth Once the wailing hearts find peace The babies with full bellies go to sleep What they earned and what they lost Is hard math for them to sort Their backs broke but spirits intact It’s only a matter of time in fact, When they will come back With their chisels and hammers And brushes and saws To dream new dreams And to heal old scars.

If a woman insists on her prospective groom earning enough to keep her comfortable, she is not being “lazy”. She is just being practical, just like men!
When an actress described women as “lazy” because they choose not to have careers and insist on only considering prospective grooms who earn a lot, many jumped to her defence.
Many men (and women) shared stories about how “choosy” women have now become.
One wrote in a now-deleted post that when they were looking for a bride for her brother, the eligible women all laid down impossible conditions – they wanted the groom to be not more than 3 years older than them, to earn at least 50k per month, and to agree to live in an independent flat.
Ms. Kulkarni, please don’t apologise ‘IF’ you think you hurt women. Apologise because you got your facts wrong. Apologise for making sexual harassment a casual joke.
If Sonali Kulkarni’s speech on most modern Indian women being lazy left me shocked and enraged, her apology post left me deeply saddened.
I’d shared my thoughts on her problematic speech in an earlier article. So, I’ll share why I felt Kulkarni’s apology post was more damaging than her speech.
If her speech made her an overnight hero among MRAs, sexists, and people who were awed by her dramatic words, then her apology post made her a legendary saint.
