Happy Women's day?

Happy Women's Day! 

There is this fake smile on every women's face today, 
What is there to be happy about? 
Her daughter is out and 7 in the eve
She is spending her entire day thinking where she could be 
Her son is out and it's 9 
She prays for him to be able to control the devil inside 
It's 11 in night and her husband is drunk 
The other pillar of the family is never still and stern
Not even for a second she lives for herself,  not a day she is not insulted 
not a day she feels safe and free 
Can you see any reason to celebrate who she is? 

There is this fake smile on every women's face today, 
What is there to be happy about? 
She, 17-85,  no matter, has the same problems when she moves out,
People staring even if she is covered or shows her cleavage wearing a dress she loves,
Comments she's been listening to forever but never fought back because back there in her home, her mom said 'Just ignore' else you will be killed.
She was dying anyway because of the humiliation 
Of the rape she was going through just because of the words,
But it's her mother who prays to God everyday when she comes back home in one piece and safe. 
He said every girl who roams in short or revealing clothes would be raped, 
She is stopped from living life the way she wants, 
In democratic country there is no democracy for her,
So can you see any reason to celebrate who she is? 

There is this fake smile on every women's face today, 
What is there to be happy about? She loves to party, she loves to work, lives on her own and alone 
Not a day she was tensed. 
But now I see her being careful about her choices 
About the friends she make
Or the dresses she picks 
She works and supports her family 
And her time can be 12 in the night. 
Her family has been really cool, they allowed her to live her life the way she wants but it's these people with eyes like eagle always wanting a piece of meat from her, who makes her question about her own existence and living. 
Free? Ya really! You must be joking. 
She was free from her family but then she ended up being in the bigger cage of this world. 
She was free from rules but she now obeys rules this world has predefined for her.
Now every night when she takes a cab she notes the number, keep talking about direction to her friend or keep this little pepper spray in her hand
She takes a look at the way the driver is taking 
And when she reaches home she cries and falls on the ground. 
Touches her tummy and makes promise to herself this is not a future I'll give to my daughter. 
So can you see any reason to celebrate who she is? 


We are wishing women's day because we are still alive! 
We are celebrating just one day of being what we are! 
There is just hope on which we are surviving...
But still I'll wish you all a Happy Women's Day because who knows this could be a beginning to a better us, better we, better world.

Happily ever after.

                                       Everyone in this world loves to be loved, and the feelings are doubled when they are mutual. Sneha, 21 years old, fair and beautiful, remembers how she used to wait for February 14 th , since she entered the teenage, for something romantic and special to happen.  But eventually nothing used to happen, and the day used to be either normal or really bad. The kind of person she is, she always loves to imagine, to dream, to fascinate about everything that seems to be romantic. Every time she watched some romantic movie, she would imagine all the goody part to be happening with her, in her life. She imagined very often, how a guy would approach her, be around her, make her feel special, send gifts, stare from distance, leave short messages as a clue of his emotions and so on. She always had songs on her playlist that expressed how she used to feel. She remembers when she had her first crush and he said something really nice about her, she

It was all about sex

He wooed me  He caressed He loved me  Like no one else. He weaved a web  To make me prey  In which I fell With no disgrace. We made creases  On bed  And our silhouettes made love on the wall, All night all day, No time no break, We were into each other  With no sense of the world.  I got used to it He was moving away  Experiments weren't working  Well, I wasn't a professional anyway.  Just 3 months and it was going to an end, A relation that started fast  Was walking too soon towards the grave.  I thought it was a road to soul, My journey with him was ending on the bed. No memories, No talks, Just a passion  To make love like insane.  Did we really made love?  I asked myself! He moved on  Saying just three words that "It won't work" The Words that I never wanted to hear  But I knew they were about to come, I realised,  too late but early,  that it was all about sex.

A beautiful liar

In the beginning of our relationship He was the most adorable man, I thought, maybe this relationship would work unlike others And I will do everything I can He praised me with such poetic words That it made me blush I never thought it will, again, end up like others. After a year, he was keen to make this special Kept boosting about his love, that its real Kept asking me about same thing that I can never give, Yes, virginity is a really big matter for me, I say it without shame. Emotions are worthier than sex, I said But he was worried about his so-called image in his friends He said “I gave you so much love, in return, this is what I get?” “I can’t take this step for your stupid image” I said. It was hard to believe this sudden change Sitting on the same old bench I thought, How could he be so selfish? What if I get pregnant did he ever thought about this? “Oh god, why bloody condoms are invented for, Don’t worry; they are 100% safe for sur
