Take a chill "SOCIETY"

-


 Hey 2021,

How are you? Well....Considering that you are under tremendous amount of pressure. People have high expectations from you. So, here I am to mellow down this pressure. 

2020 was one huge roller coaster... of which, we all were a part. People discovered their talents, like cooking, baking or even converting dialogues into music like what Yashraj Mukhate did. On the other hand, there were millions of people who were unemployed, some who were a victim of depression or were patients of Covid-19.... But what did we do? Trust me, nothing... We simply judged them, made fun of them, trolled them or just added on to their pressure. So here, we have a chance to stop judging people because however free spirited people are... Society is something we think of even before what our parents will think about something.

This is not a point from one side but from both sides of a coin! Be it a boy or a girl, we all have something to say to each one of you. Here we go.....

We are tired of listening,
"Are you a girl? Stop crying"
Sometimes expressing is our last choice,
Maybe even boys can be emotional at some point.
"Why is this dress so short?"
Is something we don't want to hear again,
When a guy shows his abs...Is it that fine?
"Boys don't feel pain" is easy to say,
But even they feel the pain.
"Depression is nothing, when we were a kid we did not even know the word"
Is not the right thing to say.
During your periods there are 100's of constraints,
Isn't it something that God themselves gave?
Boys cannot do makeup!
What even if they did?
"If you are too short or long, it will affect your career!"
How does our height, even come in between our future?
"Your skin color is your definition, be it white or dark."
Then why has God given us a brain or a heart?
"Why are you so thin or so large?"
Is our body size more important than, we are?
"A girl and a boy can never be 'just friends'"
But what if they actually are?
We request the society to remove all these myths.
And let people live the way they want to live.
Maybe your opinion does not matter at some point.
But a person is scared to do something,
Just at the thought of the word "SOCIETY".

Lets be a part of the change than simply expecting it to happen. Believe it or not the thoughts of the society do have an influence on us. How much ever people say that "their opinion does not matter", we are still triggered of what people think. Lets do what is in our hands, give people a chance to do whatever they want to, without judging them.

An Independence with No Freedom

Happy Independence Day to another day without freedom for a woman to stay. It is again a horrid time where,  instead of schooling a man, a woman is asked to follow the rules again . The rules are still for us to walk in the dark and not to punish the man who commits a crime in broad daylight. What kind of system is it? Where the perpetrators are roaming free, while the family of the victim is finding a way to believe that  "this can't be it".  The institutions around the country are setting rules to secure a woman by curtailing her freedom to roam around when it is not even her fault.  A doctor on duty for 36 hours was subject to one of the worst crimes in human history. Yet, it is another story where society will say,  "Why did she wear that?" "Why was she out in the middle of the night?" "Why was she alone in a seminar hall at such a time? ". A woman committed to her job, saving people's lives, was deprived of it all. It is ironic that ...

Happy Dad's Day!

  Now, you all must be wondering why I wished "Happy Dads' Day" instead of "Happy Father's Day", well the reason is the quote above, "Any Man can be a father but it takes a special man to be a DAD". We all appreciate our mothers for the amazing things they do but the most under-appreciated member of our household is probably, our dad. It is not that they are under-appreciated, but rather the lack of realisation we have towards them. They are always present but we always focus on their absence, they have a secret way of showing their love, yet we focus on the criticisms they give us. While our mothers stand next to us in our fight, our dad is the shield to protect us from the harm. They are the ones who teach us to dream big and work for it. We always fail to appreciate our fathers, while we all can say all the emotional things to our mother, we fail to express it properly with our dad. Yes, our dad yells at us, but have we ever seen the regret they...

Mother: THE BEST JOB

The other day, a friend sent me a reel in which the person said, " The world has become such a place that, one can say, I wanna be a lawyer, a doctor, an architect, but not 'I want to be a great mother' when of all the jobs it is one of the toughest. " This statement has become known as a feminist statement. A person not wanting to be a mother and have a family is, a feminist, while the true reason to have the whole movement was that, every woman irrespective of what she chooses to be in life, should be recognized as an equal member of the society. It is about giving the same opportunity and recognition. Amidst all that, somehow it has become about being aggressively competitive with men, trying to fight all, being greater than men, and  not being able to say that I want to be the best mother. When all it was ever about, was equal space irrespective of gender. A woman who says " I want to be the best mother ", is conceived to be weak or fragile, when actual...
