क्या हुआ अरे जो नारी हूँ
आखिर तो कृति तुम्हारी हूँ ,
देना ही होगा वो प्रकाश
जिसकी मैं भी अधिकारी हूँ।
I came across this note of mine in a recent home visit. These lines were written some 10-12 years back when for once my coaching class was shifted to my home just to avoid a crazy stalker.
I felt like being punished without any fault of mine. Although soon enough, I realized that my safety had been way too important for my family to taking the psycho to task and setting some example for the society (You never know what could be the stalker's next move!).
Saddened to see how time hasn't changed itself when it comes to dealing with feminism of the female race.
Though I am glad that girls have started talking about it publicly and raising voice against it, back then this too used to be a taboo.
But the burning question remains- When will WE be able to walk freely and where?
