The love I wanted was pure and restless. Where there were no judgements and only bliss. No one loved me the way I wished,
If music comes from a broken heart,
Mine would’ve sung a million songs,
If love is what you desire,
I wouldn’t have been broken from the start.
For the love I wanted was pure and restless,
Irrevocable and true and serene,
Where one could just lie and hope to live forever,
Where there were no judgements and everything was a bliss.
Nowhere can I find that love,
Am I so undesirable?
No one loved me the way I wished,
And still I yearn for some attention and trove.
Sometimes hugs can join your pieces,
Sometimes they can break you further apart,
Wherever I went, I didn’t find that unconditional love,
And my desire to be understood was amiss.
Maybe I should learn to be alone more often,
And desire for no one at all,
For gods sometimes enjoy your misery,
And make it even more permanent than you want.
With my phone switched off and no one around,
My mind wonders and wanders,
I am left to be alone and squander,
And yet told to be “strong” and bound.
If you were so alone, you’d know my pain,
And my only desire to be understood well,
Just one person would do my God,
Let all my pain be gone and slain.

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.
