If we ask something from our GOD its always half-hearted as mature adults, always logic rules our minds. But kids they are so sure.
I lived in Uganda. Electricity supply is not constant here. So, one evening at 8:00 p.m, I was preparing dinner in kitchen and my two kiddos; son aged 6 and daughter aged 20 months were playing, as usual.
And suddenly power went off, it was total dark my daughter being very little feared darkness and started crying. My son was near her, he calmed her saying, “I’m near to you dear please give me your hand.” And he hugged her. She became quiet immediately.
Later, when I approached them; he said, “Mom, she is with me, catch my hand.” Saying this he stretched his arm. I took my both kids, put on the emergency light and let them be there sitting on their small plastic chairs. I took my mobile phone ON the torch went in the kitchen and started cooking.
After some time, my son started reciting verses from our holy book. He kept reciting all the verse which he knows and I kept cooking. After around 10 minutes, as soon as he stopped reciting the last verse which he knew, immediately the power came.
He came happily to me and said, “Mom, I asked the GOD to help me and see as soon as I finished GOD send the power back.”
These words made me realized how as adults we keep our faith on our Lord, even if we ask something from our GOD its always half-heartedly as mature adults always logic rules our minds. But kids they are so sure, they never doubt and whole heartedly put their faith in Lord and just ask HIM with full authority as if its their right to get it. Also, Lord never disappoints them and grant at once what they wish for.
Seeing this My Faith in my Lord was RESTORED immediately.

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.
14 years after her last feature film Dhobi Ghat, storyteller extraordinaire comes up with her new film, Laapataa Ladies, a must watch.
*Some spoilers alert*
Every religion around the world dictates terms to women. The onus is always on women to be ‘modest’ and cover their faces and bodies so men can’t be “tempted”, rather than on men to keep their eyes where they belong and behave like civilized beings. So much so that even rape has been excused on the grounds of women eating chowmein or ‘men will be men’. I think the best Hindi movie retort to this unwanted advice on ‘akeli ladki khuli tijori ki tarah hoti hai’ (an alone woman is like an open jewellery box) came from Geet in Jab We Met – Kya aap gyan dene ke paise lete hain kyonki chillar nahin hain mere paas.
The premise of Laapataa Ladies is beautifully simple – two brides clad in the ghunghat that covers their identity get mixed up on a train. Within this Russian Doll, you get a comedy of errors, a story of getting lost, a commentary on patriarchy’s attitude towards women, a mystery, and a tale of finding oneself, all in one. Done with a mostly light touch that has you laughing and nodding along.
