Not All Men (1)
Being a woman
and coming across
heartbreaking, heartwrenching news
of assaults and rapes with
mothers, daughters, sisters
all day, everyday
is not easy.
The sense of fear holds you
tight enough to make you
buy a new pepper spray
and keeping a check
on who’s following you
while you’re on the road alone
all day, everyday
is not easy.
A time comes
when you start fearing
your very own shadow
thinking the one who just
dissolved into that streak of light
could have been carrying a knife
or could have raped you
on gun point
handeling this trauma
all day, everday
is not easy.
Amidst all this
I still continue to exist
Unharmed and safe
So I say, #NotAllMen

not a feminist
I'm not a feminist. I dont want to be a male i dont want to be a female. i just want to live- this is all what a girl thinks all her life. Women, everyday, every minute are insecure about everything. Walking on the streets, not at night nor in the evening.We are scared to go out even in the morning or even in the afternoon and do you know what's the fear?-It's of getting raped. Right from the childhood we were taught in schools (which i do not feel is a privilage-its a basic human right) that EVERYONE-BE IT FEMALE OR MALE OR TANSGENDERS OR LGB- everyone had the the right to to do whatever they wanted (legal ofcourse) but as i grew up as a woman, i was -
What I want
Don't put me on a pedestal,
I am not a goddess.
Don't treat me like a doormat,
I'm human too.
My anatomy sure is different,
My voice has a different pitch,
My body has a bond with nature,
Linked by blood, renewed every month.
All these differences,
Need not mark me alien,
I too belong to this species,
Technically, I'm homo sapien too.
Someone gave me a name,
Categorized me woman,
Stripped me of basic rights,
Before slowly returning them again.
Still I have a lot more to regain,
For which I'll have to protest,
Shout in the streets, hold placards,
Named a feminist.
I don't want these titles you give,
All I ask for is most rudimentary,
The treatment I'm entitled to as a human,
It's equality and nothing special.
Some recognition for my merit,
Mutual respect for a fellow being,
Some courtesy every day,
Just enough to breathe free.
I don't want to raise my voice and scream,
My sisters do that often enough,
I don't want to hold a placard and stomp,
I prefer calmer streets, not protests.
I hope you understand,
After all these years of evolution,
All these decades of enlightenment,
After all, this is twenty first century.

Yesterday , I heard a man a
proudly propound he brought
up his daughter just like his son ...
Like a son?
I wanted to ask him
what he really meant
and what sort of distinct
parenthood did he really
provide his daughter with .
I wanted to ask him
if she was allowed to
have parties on weekends
and return home
with a drunken tint to her breath
just the way his son was .
I wanted to know
if he had forgiven
his daughter for peeking
at men just the way
he had forgiven his son
for bashing older women in the vicinity and ,
Did he allow her to march unabashedly out her room and shout at her the way he allowed his son to do so after his teacher complained how he threw abusive epithets at his seniors ?
While he talked of how much he loved
his daughter ,
I wanted know what his love
was confined to
and what her curfew was ...
Was she allowed to stay until midnight like her brother or until 4 in the afternoon?
I wanted to know what he really
meant when he said that .
Was she allowed to wear whatever she wanted ?
Was she free from the job of cooking and cleaning just the way her brother was?
Did she have to watch her dreams blaze brighter than her fantasies like a conventional ' bichari ladki'?
"Like a son?"

FEMINISM
It is not the desire of a true feminist to go above and beyond the male. But only to be equal. This includes all the problems a woman experiences from her childhood to the time when her menstrual cycle stops.
Feminism teaches that women are capable on their own and to depend less on others when situation arises.
It's not about degrading men and preaching that they are inferior to women. All the brave women in history were good wives and mothers who fought like men.
The present generation is being mislead by restricting feminism to some logos and dress, saying that being a feminist is just a license to be oblivious to their duties.
Most people only look at feminists with contempt, even the females. The real women who are well aware of it's depth is reluctant to call themselves a feminist in public due to this misinterpretations...

"Not all men...
Not all men are killers
Not all men are deadbeat fathers
Not all men are rapists
Not all men are after using you
Not all men...."
Yeah,Not all men but why is there a good number to convince her that she can never trust Men?
At three she had to endure her drunk dad beating her mother as she looked on helplessly each nighr
At eleven she came home to find her granny and the police sirens wailing in harmony
Shattered glass,broken furniture and a bloodied carpet,she had looked helplessly as her mother's body was wheeled out in a body bag,her father behind them in shackles
At 13 she lost her innocence to her step father and now she loathes sex and her body quells at the thought of it
At seventeen her therapist turned to a rapist
He replaced her pills with his filthy dick
Instead of letting her open up about the demons haunting her he forced open her legs and became one more demon to deal with
At twenty almost every girl she new had gone through or knew a girl who had suffered assault....
So yes "not all men..but won't she be dimmed stupid if she assumed the next one was not like the rest and ended up finding it the hard way that he was just filthy like the rest?"

FEMINISM
Feminism is not about women getting power to rule the kingdom . If men doing something is okay then women can also do that,dont question her. If she can run the kitchen then she is capable of ruling the world too. Discriminate based on the hard work but not by the gender.

Trusting someone is the biggest gamble,
You either win everything or you loose.

Harassed Me
He touched me,
I didn't feel good
He touched me
Up I stood
Furiously, i turned towards him
And slapped him on his face
On his cheeks
My fingers had left a red trace
He stood up
And grabbed my wrist
I raised my hand
And punched him with my fist
His tooth broke
His eyes drifted towards the floor
Without waiting any longer
I reached for the door.
He grasped my hair
And pulled me
I kicked him in his privates
By raising my knee.
He kneeled down
His eyes swollen and red
In so much agony
He wished he was dead.
That's how you treat them
The ones who harass you
This poem is not only for females,
But for males too.

Cool Dude & A Slut
Why A man changing his girlfriend every month is a Cool Dude
And a women who refused to accept your proposal is a Slut?
Why is a man sleeping with different girls everyday is a Cool Dude
And A women chilling out with her Male friends is a Slut?
Why a man wearing shorts to feel comfortable is okay
And a women wearing short dress is a Slut?
Why a Rapist can go to temple
But the women in her periods can't??
What kind of society are we living??

You ought to be scared of me,
for I was raised to be free
and to fight for equality.

I just tried to expressed the inner tale of those flowers that grow in everyone's garden and unintentionaly makes the gardeners angry , it faces the prickly sun rays, slaps of stormy wind and many more things with a cheerful face.

#broken"A Flower's Tale"
Sometimes I ask who am I ?
Am I a flower of someone's garden?
Looks beautiful filled with fragrance
But couldn't bloom in other's land
No matter how much I burnt in rays
Cheering all with a happy face always
Sometimes badly broken inside
Yet so vibrant and so bright
A flower bed, a pot or vase, gardener
Chooses where should I be placed
Neither can I unfurl my petals
Nor allowed to shrivel myself
My gardener loves me and cares a lot
But often cuts my branches off
I bloom again with new seed
Because his orchid never allow me to weep
I got my life but that's not mine ,
That's is all the gardener (society) reminds.

A woman without a man is like a zebra without a book.
Huh?
But a zebra has no need of book.
Yesssss!
Similarly women don't need to rely on men for their happiness, achievements or fulfilment.

Queen's Gambit
Queen was sacrificed.
Her King was saved.
The game was won.
Yet they lost.

She is the eternal fire,She is our worldly desire
She is the chakra of life, the one we must admire
She brings prosperity to an empire
At times she is scuffled with chains of patriachy,at times she breaks free and soars
She can be as still as water or as fierce as river gushing down yet her silence evokes chaos.

Resilient
Burned at the stake for daring to dream
Labled insane for having the courage to fight
They will call you, stubborn, greedy for recognizing that you deserve better
Heed me, keep on fighting
To be persistent is not synonymous to devious
I dare you to dream of your little lassie
In a world nought of discrimination
Where abuse and violence all based on gender are all just but folklore
You are not a mother yet but I beg you to fight them
If not for you then for our daughters
