Off late, I haven’t been writing anything on atrocities towards women. However we write, these practices will not end because the psychopaths who find pleasure in a fellow being’s extreme pain cannot be changed with these posts or protests. I would say that the stigma of the society towards mental disorders is the main reason …
Women are created such that they can take care of kids naturally. The years old argument which is a trap that confine women to home. Now-a-days there are many men who take care of kids when their wives are away. Likewise another trap of words would be ‘Women are meant to cook’. The myth is …
For a family to run smoothly, income is needed. The one who who earns it would be considered the superior and hence eons old suppression for women, for men have been the income earners.

All that we can offer our girls is martial art class, psychological awareness, a pepper spray and a lot of prejudice. Even after numerous …
Land of rapists, land of waste, land without security, ladies can’t go out alone, land without opportunities : A lot of adjectives have been added to our country lately. We have witnessed our youth apathetically proclaiming that I need to leave this godforsaken land, otherwise my life would not flourish. Media is busy celebrating Rahul …

Since my child started going to school, I was always thinking about how to make her distinguish between good and …
I am writing this post with tears in my eyes. Being a mother, I can’t remain unmoved by what is one of the quintessential examples of injustice. Soumya’s mother’s wailing still echoes in my ears.Well, what should we assume with today’s judgment? There was evidence for cruel rape but not for murder. Seriously? She died …
