I am a child who loves to go to school and play with her friends. I am the one who waits for her daddy to come home and pamper me. I am a happy child trying to enjoy my childhood.
I am a young girl trying to complete my education. I am trying to learn as much as I can. I had to fight at home to take admission in university.
I am a women trying to be independent. I am doing my best to get the recognition that I deserve. I am investing same hours at work as any other person would.
I am a mother living for her child. I live to hold them, love them, cuddle them. I spend my days and nights worrying about my child. Watching them grow brings me all the joy I need.
I am a grandmother who loves to spoil her grandkids. I knit sweaters for thwm and feed them all delicacies I can. I wait for their phone calls and summer vacations.
I am not creating a havoc in your life. I am living a simple life to fulfill my needs and desires. Then why, every second of the day, one amongst many like me is tortured, raped and killed! Did I do you any harm? Is it my fault that I exist? I am even killed before I take birth. Why do I suffer? What is my fault?

This is a break from my original posts, but I could not stop myself from penning down my thoughts. Enough is enough. I have to raise a voice now and hope you will too.

(14th April 2018 - 15:05)Very relevant post in the current context Disha. It is really shameful that the criminals are being allowed to stay safe. I read somewhere that it is sad that someone who eats beef near a temple is mauled to death while scum who rape a child in a temple are allowed to roam freely. Shameful!
Dishki
(15th April 2018 - 10:44)Indeed it is shameful. Who does that to a child. Depriving her of her life. Wish for criminals to be punished soon.

(14th April 2018 - 13:32)Indeed we live in a very sorry state of a world. After repeated incidents of rape too we have not done anything. People are mute . Indeed we should raise our voice.
Dishki
(14th April 2018 - 14:47)Yes, we have so much left to do!

(14th April 2018 - 09:07)The recent horrific incidents in Kathua and Unnao boil my blood as well, I cant get that child’s image out of my mind.
