All About Expression

  Whenever I say that I am a feminist, all I see is heads turning around, accusing glances, and exasperated exclamations of “Oh, my God! Why do you hate men?” Oh wait, you’ve heard that one before. Now scroll for fresh content.   Thank you. My point is, no matter how many times I reiterate the same words, the matter of concern never budges from its rusty old shelf. Raising a voice against gender inequality in today’s society has become synonymous with man-hating. Feminism has gained an unpopular status in society. As feminists, women have been called too aggressive, too strong, anti-men, and unattractive, even. The recited movements, protests and demonstrations with the aim of creating a place of parity for men and women in the past, have often been associated with the superiority of the latter over the former.         Why is that, we wonder. The reason lies in the folds of ever-intensifying patriarchal curtains that drape the world all ...

  Wait, wait, wait. Hold up. Before you start reading....take a minute, introspect and ask yourself whether you are a healthy human being, living in a healthy society. Sure, most of you are not diagnosed with any disease right now, your sugar levels are completely in check and your BMI falls in the "healthy" range. However, that's not the end of it.  'Health', as a whole, encompasses each one of our physical, social and mental attributes, all three of them being equally essential for one's well-being. And right now, when the world is shrouded with the terror of an ongoing pandemic, it is crucial that we finally shift our focus onto a neglected aspect of human survival- Mental Health . "What mental health needs,  Is more Sunlight, more Candor, And more Unashamed conversation."                                               -Glenn Close Mental health, as a topi...

The human society is headed for a rapid downfall. Whether it is the climate cataclysm, the Corona crisis, poverty, the unfair labour laws or for that matter, even nation disputes, mankind is terribly trapped in an ever-tightening web of contemporary dilemmas. If put in such a situation, the only way one can manage to step out of this web is by taking accountability and eradicating each issue from it's central core. Unsurprisingly, that's exactly what we are not doing. Out of many such evils surrounding us, 'Social Inequality' is an extremely retentive- in layman terms, a clingy- setback to each community's progress, existing since the very beginning of time...quite literally. It arises due to the failure of the authorities of society to protect health, human rights and opportunities of the common people, leading to unequal distribution of resources among them, thus creating differences. Inequalities have been a prominent part of the human history, taking various f...

This has been an interesting decade. Beginning with a breakthrough in digitalization, progressing with numerous worldwide developments, and nevertheless, approaching the end with a big BAM ! (aka COVID-19) Out of all of the global episodes that occurred in these 10 years, only one, however, managed to persist, increasing in its severity by each passing second. Any guesses? Climate change is not a “potential” or “distant” threat anymore. It is, and has been right here, enveloping the grey skies, sheathing the dirty roads, layering the brown and swollen rivers since the past couple of years, insisting to stick around for more. Climate transformations have resulted in phenomenally rising temperatures, giving way to melting of polar ice-caps and glaciers, depletion of the ozone layers, extinction of plant and animal species and topping the charts, our favourite phrase – global warming.   Extreme weather conditions are sweeping the globe and their most devastating impact is...

" He says the best way out is always through,  And I agree to that, or so in far  As that I can see no way but through"   Robert Frost. 24th of March,2020 would have been another ordinary day for most of us Indians, if not for the unprecedented revelation of a following 21 day lock down- in lieu of the Corona Virus Crisis- throughout the nation, revealed by none other than our Prime Minister. The announcement astonished citizens country wide, and immediately, there was a frenzy in local marketplaces.Nobody was prepared. People, including my own parents, rushed to the nearest shops and began hoarding resources in order to survive the upcoming quarantine, afraid of running out on basic necessities. The sudden panic, though, silenced down quickly. Undeniably, it was initially manifested as arduous and dull, majorly because each one of us has grown tirelessly used to the hustle-bustle of life and the rapidity with which it proceeds. Though slowly as we adjusted t...

It does not project hate or dislike for any particular group or institution. However, it does hope to make a change. Okay, let's start with a general knowledge question. What are the five most rapidly increasing controversies in India right now? Answer in the comments section below👇. I think I can help you with one. The hottest controversy of them all is undoubtedly the reservation system in our country. The reservation system came into picture post independence. Leaders like Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and B.P. Mandal took initiatives to grant separate electorates and states to the backward communities in India, but the official declarations were given only after August 1947. The main intention was to provide free education and equal rights to those who had been overshadowed by the privileged. But don't we all know that? Don't we al...
