I saw this post go viral on social media during Dasara (Dussehra).
I was moved by how well various roles of women in the society, are brought out in the image. At the same time, I perceive this differently.
All the avatars of Devi (goddess) came into existence when she decided to change things herself – whether it was killing a demon or bringing prosperity. Mythology has always inspired women to identify and nurture the strength within us.
It’s not just Prayers, it’s time to ACT.
The Woman in me speaks:
People contest that, the effect- the decades of patriarchy has had on Women’s self-worth and confidence cannot be erased in a short span of time.
I say – it’s all about making a decision & women supporting each other in this journey.
The day we realize that, the goddess is in us, we will no longer pray for things to change, instead will muster the courage to change things ourselves!

If her MIL had accepted her with some affection, wouldn't they have built a mutually happier relationship by now?
The incident took place ten years ago.
Smita could visit her mother only in summers when her daughter had school holidays. Her daughter also enjoyed meeting her Nani, and both of them had done their reservations for a week. A month before their visit, her husband told her, “My mom is coming for 4-5 months!”
Smita shuddered. She knew the repercussions. She would have to hear sarcastic comments from her mother-in-law for visiting her mother. She may make these comments directly only a bit, but her servants would be flooded with the words, “How horrible she is! She leaves me and goes!”
Are we so swayed by star power and the 'entertainment' quotient of cinema that satisfies our carnal instincts that we choose to ignore our own subconscious mind which always knows what is right and what is wrong?
Trigger Warning: This has graphic descriptions of violence and may be triggering to survivors and victims of violence.
Do you remember your first exposure to an extremely violent act or the aftermath of a violent act?
I am pretty sure for most of us it would be through cinema. But I remember very vividly my first exposure to aftermath of an unbelievably grotesque violent act in real life. It was as a student at a Dental College and Hospital.
