Early January, more than a week after a 23 year old woman, brutally gang raped in a moving bus, died in a Singapore hospital. We are living in deeply troubling times. The Republic of Ideas , Dreams , Imaginations has been replaced by the Republic of Hate and Nightmares.
This is a fight for our Freedom. Freedom of Expressions.
Expressions of Thoughts , Expression of Views , Expression of Anger and the power to force a change of all that is wrong or unjustified in our complex society. As guaranteed by our constitution. Lathis can stop crowds but not thoughts .Dissent is our birth right and we should have it.
So, Dear girls believe in your self. You are not WEAK or ABLA as foolishly portrayed. Be strong, learn self defense. Don’t wait for government to provide you ‘secured environment ‘to live in. Make yourself strong enough to secure the environment whenever needed!
A Daughter is
A joy bringer
A heart warmer
A memory maker
A Daughter is LOVE.

Thanxs,Aunty.
I totally respect your point. But i still have a question… Who did not raise the voices..and as a girl who does not know what to do wen she is being raped or molested.. its the prob of the society that we start to talk about values… its the right which needs to be practiced more than anything.. right to appeal for more strict laws to be enforced.
Thanks,Kanika for liking it but I personally believe &said in my blog that before asking for laws or help v have 2 unite as sisters,daughters,mothers and above all as a WOMAN……….n Our freedom is our right,v want that. WHY SHOULD V ASK FOR IT? ARE V BEGGARS, BEGGING FOR MERCY OR HELP?I believe that we should make our self strong physically, mentally & face the challenges as they come…………
They brighten up our lives. They make our life so maningful besides giving us joy.
I agree, aunty. They are our strength but still they give us all the joy……..
