ANUSHKA PANDEY Apr 2020
From time immemorial
Its women, who have been supressed,
Its high time
For them to be addressed.

Men are humans too
Its not always a woman’s fault
We need to change this mindset,
Which has been set as default.

From GHUNGATS to SHORTS
Why are girls always blamed?
From RAPES to EVE TEASING
Why are they always put to blame?

From administration till army
Everywhere they are
Still at the night
Safety is a thing very far.

From Sakshi Malik to Chanda Koecher
From Indra Nooyi to Hima Das
Why are women always scepticiced
And not treated as something “KHAAS”? I know just writing poems or giving speeches,
Wont make a difference any day,
But a step ahead is always better than a pause,
In a race towards equality, it may create a new way?

We as women should rise
Not our voices, but intellect,
We as women should fight
Not for short dresses, but for correcting societies defect.

Before any man’s support,
Vow to stand by each other first,
Along with being during the best,
Also promote each other during their worst.
A woman i am,
Giving birth to a life that
evolves and replenishes inside me.
The scars of motherhood,
Are no less painful, but the pain gives immense pleasure lifelong
To be called a mother.

A daughter i am.
Transcending into a woman
Learning to understand how women
are supposed to be- loving  and caring,
Longing to be called the apple of my parent's eye,

A young damsel i am,
Glowing with inner beauty,
Lurking with life,
Incomplete are you without me,
The meaning of your life i am..
Here..I enter womanhood.

The strength that i carry is no
Less than a goddess of shakti
From time and now,
From jijabai to kalpana chawla
to indra nooyi.
I exist in every chapter.
The chapters of history to the chapters
That will make history.

From ancient to modern age,
I will be written in every chapter.
I am a celebration!
Celebrate me..
I am a girl child..
Celebrate my existence
From a daughter to woman,
To womanhood!

(Happy women's day to all the wonderful woman i know)☺️
