AGAINST DOWRY

Image
Dear father and mother, I am not a burden on anyone’s head Neither is my boat stuck in the midstream I will be the oar and I will fight the waves How can money ever sell me? Yesterday, I was walking holding my father’s fingers And, tomorrow, I will be his walking stick too! Dear mother, I am the bird of your nest And I’ll fly back home only after I get the grain! In whose nature, there is no curiosity or excitement Who liked my money more than he liked me? I don’t need such a marriage and this is the time to say NO I will walk alone and I will meet the fate alone How can money ever sell me? When the wires of the heart aren’t attached… What’s the point in wasting the money on couple of customs? Is there no life ahead of marriage? Or marriage is the only book of all records? I will shine like a morning star and I will be filled like a night dream How can money ever sell me?

Put a Full Stop To Child Marriages!

Child marriages! It’s not something new. We all are aware of it yet we chose to stay silent. Isn’t? Well, it includes me too. We all think, how can we help a girl from being a victim of child marriage. But I guess, we can do. At least, we can make aware of the side effects of the child marriage on these little ones. Today, I came across three stories of child marriage published by #UNICEF. The three unheard stories of these little girls made me realize that how lucky I was and how unfortunate were they. We should have been lucky enough to go to school and to get educated and earn. India, especially Bihar, is one of the areas where most of the child marriages take place every year. I just have one question…Why? Why are these innocent girls punished in the name of traditions? Marriage is never a punishment but marriage at the age of 6 or 12 years, is definitely a bane. Understand and get into your head that a girl is not born to wash the feet of a man all throughout h

JUST KEEP GOING!!!

I hope you all must have come across an interview of Mira Rajput, wherein she slammed the entire women working community, especially married women or mothers who earn a bread for their family or to support their husband. Well, what she said is absolutely her point of view. So, this post is nothing offensive about her. One of the strange thing, I heard in her interview – “Misha (her daughter) is not a puppy and hence, I cannot stay with her for an hour and then, rush back to work). I want to spend every moment with her”. That was very sweet of her to put out the message that her child is much more important to her but the ‘puppy’ remark is a strong slap against all the working women, who leave back their child at home, under the care of a Nanny or relative. Let me tell you my opinion. It’s okay not to work after your marriage. Looking after your new abode, new relations, including your in-laws is an appreciation worth task. But that is natural. Looking after your husband’s

Your Dream Is Your Wealth

To dream is the right of every human. No matter how rich or poor the person is, their dream, at times become their ultimate motivation. I do not know how to describe dreams but yes, it is the sole of every individual. Some dream of being rich, some being famous, some girls dream to have a good education, whereas some to touch the limits of the sky. Dreams come in various forms and aspirations. Yes, I too had a dream. A dream of stepping my foot in the media industry as a journo. A dream of traveling with a mic in one hand and a pen in other. Yes, it was my dream since I started knowing why is it important to dream. After finishing off my 12 th , my parents literally wanted me to pursue either Literature or BBA. (Oh yea! I was not a Science student). I always believed Science is not my type. But I did not want to get stuck in between thick and huge books again by pursuing BBA, commerce or Literature. Since my 6 th and 7 th onwards, I do not know how, but

A voice from an unborn baby!

Today, most of the time, we come across several incidents of abortion being taking place in various parts of the world. Some countries have made it legal such as Canada, China, US, and Vietnam. Whereas, there also exists countries, where abortion is considered to be a taboo. Though abortion is a crime, still according to me, I feel it should be carried out to save the life of women, and at times, to save the life of the child. We do come across reports where teenagers get involved in affairs and end up getting themselves pregnant. Though it might not be purposefully, but it happens. No matter what, the moment a child starts developing inside you, you become a mother deep within your soul. And hence, it becomes a tough journey, if things are not in your favor. Well, I am writing a short conversation between an unborn child and her mother. Baby: Hey! Mother! I just came to this beautiful place and do you where is it? It’s your tummy mommy. Mother: What? I just con

A Most Beautiful Smile Hides The Deepest Pain!

We often meet certain people in our daily life, sometimes at our home itself, at times during travel or might be at the workplace, who would be lonely deep within but still manage to face the world with a smile. Have you ever tried to understand or know what a person goes through behind that pretty mask? If you haven’t noticed such small things, just make a try next time. #Dobaarapucho Yes, ask again! Talk to them if you feel someone needs your help. You never know it might be a great relief for them in all ways. I have been a victim of depression once, I have felt shattered and isolated in every way. But at times, god sends an angel to protect you and help you come out of the darkness. Though it seems to be a rough path, ultimately you are guided by an unknown light and that light could be your friend, family member or sometimes you yourself. In my case, well, it was a stranger who turned out to be a good friend and today, more than a friend of mine. Your loved ones need yo
