I lost my honor a long time back Standing behind my mother in the crowded line When I was touched for the first time By a nice man who then gave me a popsicle
I lost my honor the second time When I was slapped for coming home late In front of my brother, younger by years Who was just getting ready to leave for the night
I lost my honor the third time When they threw my mother out of the house Daughters don’t get shares in property they had said As I rubbed my scared sleepy eyes
I lost my honor for the umpteenth time When my mother in law could not lift her eyes And she had to apologize to the roomful of guests For her not so son’s not so fair bride
So what if I lose my honor again today Touching your lips as you draw me closer The world disappearing from my sight as I lock my eyes with a complete stranger?
So what if I lost my honor again today Walking the streets I shouldn’t walk. Losing the layers that did me good Bare. Myself. Vindicated at last.

Every one has entrepreneurial ideas, don’t we? Mine was to open an organization that hosted events wherein kids from orphanages and elderlies from old-age homes were brought together.
It was unique, at least that is what my professor told me. But the amount of money as capital made it a distant dream. Sigh! But are there any ventures which need little money? Can we start our entrepreneurial journey with just ₹10000?
