Shackled Life Of A Woman!

“Don’t go out in shorts”, shouted her mom in anxiety

“But mommy we all decided this dress code for the party”

“Don’t give me any explanation & just listen to what I say”

With a frowning face she goes to her room and texts her bestie

“Oh God! make your mom understand, you are not a kid anymore” replies Nancy

She knew her mom isn’t wrong totally so silently obliges her and changes to denims quickly.

With a broken heart she comes out of her room & leaves waving a goodbye

Her mom smiles at her and says don’t be much late my cutie pie

As she walks towards the bus stand she recalls the morning episode

“Can I not dress the way I want just because of the clutches of the society?

Even after 72 years of independence why do I still feel I’m living inside a cage

Is respecting a woman just limited to putting stories in internet with #beequal/#sheinspiresme ?”

As she gets into the crowded bus she was suddenly impressed by the chivalry shown by one gentle man

She thinks “why does the News and internet just talks about the lecherous people and not about these noble man?!”

Somehow it’s just due to few perverts that girls look at every man with suspicion

Now what choice do women have they have to prioritize their own protection

Even if that costs them on compromising on their aspiration

But the best part is women are the epitome of grace and she gifts life to humanity which no man can

How many more “Nirbhaya’s” have to die till the world becomes a safer place for the girls?

Will there ever be a day when a girl can return late and not be worried about being assaulted by criminals?

A woman smiling and talking freely are the gestures of inviting a man are the thoughts of petty thinkers

The day our society understands that a woman’s character can never be judged by her revealing attires

And staring at a woman or passing lewd comments is not a way of treating ladies

That will be day we will be truly independent and it is then we are actually faithfully worshiping the Goddess.
