11th of July
11th of July. A day I thought would cease just like any other normal day. Yet, God had better plans.
Am I good enough?
Art has always been a part of me, from scribbling random lines on walls, painting traumatising effects on dolls, struggling to hold a pen, trying every medium until I get tired of it, to label myself as a dignified artist
Who defines Extra?
But who defines “Extra” for relationships outside of marriage? How is it Extra? How would you conclude that it is Excessive?
Are we taught to identify red flags?
Do we even know what an inappropriate situation is? Do we know what even constitutes respectable or abusive behaviour between two people?
Do Representation and Reservation Matter?
When women came into power or a Dalit or a Queer person, or representatives of marginalized or oppressed communities came to power, they did not think only of their community or gender.
When we fail our children
No means NO. Not now means NO, I am tired means NO, I am not sure means NO, Maybe means NO, Silence means NO and ONLY YES MEANS YES!
Depression - the danger lurking within
As they say, depression is living in a body that fights to survive, with a mind that tries to give up.
Women - the Married Refugees
Neither in birth, life nor in death does she gets a sense of belonging. She never belongs anywhere.
Natchathiram Nagargiradhu - Ambedkarite women are insulted
In the name of Dalit Cinema, Pa Ranjith should stop using Ambedkar for marketing purpose and it is a great insult to that great leader as well as to all Ambedkarite women who have been consistently fighting for the poor and oppressed.
Life of a girl, in the times of Covid
What keeps me going is the hope that I get to go to school at least one more precious day before I don’t have the chance to anymore.
My Amma!
As I venture through my adulthood, I realize how much I’m eternally grateful for you. I understand how difficult it is to juggle between work, and life.
Respectful birthing, gratitude and sustainable living
The respect, freedom and choice that I was given at birth made me realise the necessity of handling any relationship/situation in my life with the same love.
