As I am She?





When conceived, I was filled with dreams
of an unknown world that remained unseen
for my parent didn't wish for me,
Am I to be killed as I am ‘SHE’?


Or was left to born as a second race,
To be raped, deprived, exploited and tamed
to oblige and belong to the will of he 
Am I to be caged as I am ‘SHE’?



I bled to work when he went to school,
then sold to a husband to rule,
My name died and so did I, I attempt to flee
but forced to kneel, as I am ‘SHE’.



But now pledge to be strong and fight,
To chase my dreams, to have my rights.
 I will spread my wings and will break free,
And will scale the zenith, Yes I am ‘SHE’.


(dedicated to all the amazing ladies that I have known in my life)

Dilli Diary

"For all its faults we love this city." - The city of Djinns The thought of spending a couple weeks in Delhi in mid-April is something most people would dread and yet, I was brimming with excitement and anticipation. To me, it presented an opportunity to break away from the monotonic work culture of Bangalore and to reminisce about the old days with my college wing-mate in the city I  once used to call my second home. Now, while sitting in my return flight to Bangalore,  I am penning down my memoir of this trip to Delhi.  Heat, Warmth and Hotheads Summer heat was the first thing I sensed after stepping out of my flight in Delhi. This experience completely wiped out whatever tranquil effect was lingering on from the mesmerising aerial view of the city from my flight- ’ The floating island of lights in the sea of darkness' . I estimated the temperature in Delhi at the moment - validated it using the Accuweather app and registered the fact that Delhi nights wer

I have been reading a book per week and have completed 5 books till now.  I think it is a good time to log what I have learnt from these books.

Secular Drama: Flaws of Indian Secularism

“We, being a secular party, believe that religious minorities deserve reservation. – Samajwaadi Party” If you are unable to notice the apparent irony in the aforementioned statement, it is by no fault of yours for we have been raised, essentially, in a society where notions of secularism are derived from political acuity and intellectual hypocrisy. The term secular has been frequently in a skewed sense by the government in order to justify controversial policies, political parties to procure votes, by intellectuals to exhibit religious tolerance and sensitivity and the revered media to denounce the so-called ‘non-secular parties’. Various political parties and multitudes of wiseguys, for long, have been meddling with the idea of secularism is such a way that it is being misconstrued by the majority of commoners. For decades, policies have been amended, minorities have been appeased and vote banks have been secured in the name of secularism. Finally, I would like to pose the p
