Poem: "Trust me, it gets better. Sooner than later. Just chant to yourself – Never lose heart."
“Never lose heart. Soak some sun onto your skin to feel better. Try some heartfelt pillow whispers to smile better. Slurp onto some hot chocolate to sleep better. Trust me, it gets better. Sooner than later. Just chant to yourself – Never lose heart.”
Sail through the journey of darkest nights with faith, until you witness the first golden rays. Enjoy the process of seeing through the gloomy days. Feel the sadness walking away from you.
Listen to the merry chirping, marching towards you and spreading warmth in your veins. Feel the dark circles lighten. Feel the moist below the eyes evaporate with the smoke of coffee.
I can feel the cherry blossoms,
And golden sunrise.
I can feel it.
The grey clouds are turning silver,
The sky is glowing in magnificent blues.
My sight is free of haze,
And so are my visions.
I feel lighter,
As I unload the weights
Of rejections,
Of imperfections,
Of relentless reflections.
I give no heed
To circling pointless tales.
The tedious whimpers
Have gone cold, too.
I feel free.
The tangles lay lifeless on the floor.
I don’t pity them much.
The lightening doesn’t overwhelm;
The winds are calm now.
Haven’t heard any rumbling in a while.
The silence doesn’t scare off,
The breathing isn’t shallow any more.
It’s a strange feeling,
I sense approaching.
I hear the toes tapping.
The feeling
of happiness,
is here.
I feel it more often now.
I feel an alien ferrying some cheer,
spreading its wings inside me.
Like the faint music soothing from remote land.
My heart fills with hope,
With bubbles of joy floating in the air.
With faint glow of candles
Scented lavender and rose.
The walls, the corners of my heart
Are warmer now;
Are brighter now.
I feel like twirling,
Like swaying,
Like singing.
I feel happy.
The forsaken mate has returned.
Amends have been made.
The moist shall not dampen my spirits,
I wear fabrics of sunshine.
The cold shall not make me shiver,
I carry the fire in me.
Episodes of wailing of whining
Have ended.
Spirits seem to rise up and up,
Eyes carry a glint, a smile always.
The heart sings of merry,
Every other day.

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.
It is shameful that in today's world too, women are abused and even killed for giving birth to a girl, and the infant's life is also of no value.
Trigger Warning: This deals with domestic violence, suicide, and violence against women, and may be triggering to survivors.
I am so glad that the esteemed courts are now giving the much-required verdicts regarding certain ideologies that were not at all entertained earlier. I mean we all have studied this much biology at our school level and it is our duty (our generation) to educate our elders about it.
Why someone have to lose a life to bring such awareness to the society. Delhi High Court gave this judgement concerning a case that filed by the deceased daughter’s parents against her in-laws. She committed suicide as she was harassed and tortured for dowry and giving birth to two daughters.
