How was this year for you ?

Just enquire your dear ones about how this year was for them. Probably it would be a negative attitude from them. It would be the most negative things / incidents, which would come first in their mind. I hope it would be the same for you and me.  But, it is a fact that no year passes by without giving us atleast one good memory. The problem is that, we value the bad memories more than good memories. It's us who let the bad incidents overtake the good ones in our thoughts.  Just share your memories. Relieve all the burdens of mind by sharing your bad memories. Share your good memories and gift your small smiles to the dear ones. Wish them to have another year with lots of memories.  Remind them that they still have time to achieve their dreams and wishes. Hold them together and say that nothing has ended and its just a beginning. Tell them that years would come and go, but they should never get defeated. Just give them all your supports. Now let me ask you all... How was t...

Feminism or Equality ?

It is usually said that, equality is what needed in this society ; not feminism. But, the difference between these two is not seen to be mentioned anywhere. Lets just check out the meanings / definitions of these words.  'Equality' is the state of being equal, especially in status, rights or opportunities.  'Feminism' is the advocacy of women's rights on the ground of equality of the sexes. What we live or follow now is a patriarchy system. In this patriarchial system which is actually being pursued, there is no such 'equality' on any basis. How can it be made if such a condition does not even exist ? This is where the need for feminism arises. From time immemorial, people from all walks of life in this society have been facing various kinds of inequalities. Similarly, the feminism movement was started to speak out against the inequalities and violation of rights faced by women at that time.  Feminism is often a path towards equality. But, what usually happ...

Stop teaching women how to not be raped

"You're a grown up girl. So no need to hang out with boys anymore." "You're a girl. Stop whistling." "You should wear a shawl while going out." "No need to go through that way. There are many boys standing around. " The tips to become a ' perfect woman ' goes on.... Nowadays, its a bit modified ; tips to be a perfect woman to tips for self - defense ! Awareness classes 'only for girls' in schools and colleges; discussions like 'the anytime expectable attacks from the evil eyes' and 'fake promises from men' goes on in these classes. ' What should a girl do to escape from all these traps set by the male society ? ' But why does the awareness classes exist just for the females ? Does it really make any sense to teach women that a particular section of the society is ready to exploit them anytime and they should find the ways to escape themselves ?!  The most amusing thing in this is, none of theses cla...

Hey ! Are you happy ?

How are you ?... Whats up ?... These are familiar questions we ask to our dear ones. But, have you ever asked someone if they were happy ? Ever asked if they have any problem ? Ever tried to hold them up and make them share their problems ? Maybe they are uploading the sad whatsapp status or instagram stories wishing if someone would ask them. Perhaps they are trying to say something. Though knowing it, we shouldn't ignore them any more. Most of the people around us wish to have someone to ask if they had any problem and share everything with them so that they can be peaceful.   If you think there is something wrong with someone's behaviour, don't hesitate to ask them. Its just meaningless to live with just our own happiness. Our happiness will be strong enough only if the people around us are happy. Along with our personal happiness, the happiness of others equally matters. Maybe we could find a solution for their problem. Eventhough if you cannot do anything too, listenin...
