Soldier on….!


Soldier on….!
Dear God

अपनी मर्ज़ी से कहाँ अपने सफर के हम हैं, रुख़ हवाओं का जिधर का है ऊधर के हम हैं
चलते रहते हैं कि चलना है मुसाफिर का नसीब, सोचते रहते हैं किस रहगुज़र के हम हैं

I take my words back. I had the most amazing birthday ever, well spent with my dearest friend. Seeing her kid made me wonder once again…am I ever going to have a kid of my own? Don’t know but what I do know is my kid is going to have challenges of her own. No, they would not be limited to which candy or what games to play? His/her struggle will be survival. I am scared of the world that I live in now.

With the recent events of country wide horrifying incidents of rape and killings, I am scared to think of the world my next generation will face. Preparing them for this battle is so much more than telling them ‘Good touch, bad touch.’ No measure seems enough!

Moving on, my crisis seems averted now. Thank You! Literally I have only You to thank. You in the form of my parents, siblings and well wishers whose untiring efforts have made me reach this far.
God change is inevitable in life. I thank You for the strength to accept come what may with open arms and an open mind.

It is hard to accept the recent setbacks I encountered but given time and space, anything is possible. Just like challenging the stereotypes I come across on a daily basis. I am lucky to see the changing face of my industry when it comes to women empowerment and gender equality. We still have a long way to go! Some voices are being heard but others still wait.

I pray to You to make those voices speak up and make people listen. Let the world be more open, more accepting and accommodating to women – working or otherwise.
