The Questions Unanswered.....!

I don’t know what is right anymore! Two days back, I was desperate to get away from home. The pink coloured walls of my room held me like the prison bars, crippling me from the living my life the way I wanted. I was sure of finding my peace in an unknown place among unknown people. When all these became too much for me to bear, I ran, I ran far far away from home, in my search for peace.

It was all planned. I, finding myself in an unknown place, surrounded by unknown people, with no one to question, no one to point his or her fingers at me, at my past. That was all I hope, all I desired. But the moment I reached my destination, I was not sure of my intentions anymore.

I have been asked often “How are you?” Each time I replied “I am fine!” People hear, they smile, they give their best wishes, they leave. The predictable end!

There obvious question, each time, opens the wound, which never seems to heal. Do they seriously want to know what I am going through or are the questions a part of their social duty? Do they really care? If they do care, than why don’t they see the blatant lie behind the words “I am fine”!

I wish I had the answers. When I sit…When I actually sit to find the answers to these questions, I face a void, as if someone has put a black shroud over my head, stopping me from my answers.

What am I running from or what is it that’s holding me back from living the life I have long dream of, I know naught. All I know is that this can’t go long. Sooner or later I have to decipher the maze and find my answers.

Soon…!!!

The Cry of the Delhi Rape Victim

I still remember mom when once you and dad asked me what I need to do in my life I replied you I will reduce the pain of other’s people and I became a physiotherapist so that I can try my level best to reduce the pain of others. But today I am not able to resist my own pain. Doctors are slashing my body parts for the fifth time like they were never the parts of my body…it is paining a lot mom I am not able to breathe properly and they attached me with oxygen cap please tell the doctors not to give me the anaesthesia mom I am scared I don’t want to close my eyes. If I close my eyes it takes me to that scary phase of my life where I was being cut into pieces I was just a bunch of flesh which was being continuously chopped by those animals. Those faces were very scary mom they were like those hungry animals who were biting at every parts of my body. I don’t have courage to look myself in the mirror. Mom please break all the mirrors nearby me please take me to bath I want to bath I want to sit under the shower for years mom so that I can wash those inhuman touch which had made me to hate my own body I tried to go towards bathroom but my stomach pain didn't allow me to move myself. I can’t raise my head to see you standing outside through door glass. When someone enter in my room I feel very scared mom my heartbeats gets faster my eyes searches for you please be around me. I don’t want to be alone mom these medical instruments beeps are haunting in my brain they sound like those unhelping traffic sounds which muted my cry and pleads which I was doing that time mom. The silence of this room is remembering me that silence when I was thrown on deserted road I don’t know what happened but I was feeling very much cold in the same way like a person shivering with very high temperature. Mom do you remember once when dad slapped me in childhood how much you fought with him until dad didn't brought my favourite chocolate…where is dad mom I can’t see him...is he okay mom ??? Please don’t let him cry mom. Do you remember once how dad got angry on you when you used to shout on me only for anything but they have beaten me and my dearest friend with some metal it was paining a lot mom I saw how he was bleeding to save me but they were coward rascals they kept on beating him together till he didn't collapsed and then they scratched every parts of my body repeatedly mom. You always taught me to fight with the difficult situations but I am very weak in this situation please hold my hand I want to sleep please put my head in your lap please wash my body give me some pain killer my stomach is paining please tell doctor not to cut more parts of my body its paining a lot. I am sorry mom I can’t fight more……

-The Cry of the Delhi Rape Victim

Few days back, in Delhi, the capital city of India, a 23 year old girl was raped by a gang of four guys who not only assaulted her but put a huge rod inside her vagina. The girl is currently fighting for her life and suffering from septicaemia. Her large and small intestines are permanently damaged.

When I heard this story in the television, it was dinner time. Later I tried eating but nothing went inside. There was a fire, in my inner most cavern, it was one of those red hot feeling, which craved vengeance.

I have grown up among gods and goddesses. Since breathing, we are told about the goddesses who are worshiped, feared and revered. That day, sitting on my father’s room, with the television showcasing the story of the rape victim, broke something inside me, for the first time I lost hope, I lost hope in humanity.

Where is the humanity? How can the people who worship Goddess Durga, Goddess Kali do this level of torture on an innocent girl? Are we girls born to be used? Why are we seen as pleasure tools? Has our worth come to this?

If somebody looks at us with lust, society blames our clothes, our intentions. What people fail to realise is that we are human beings! We have the right to dream, to see and to speak.
Until now, I have never felt black disgust for my country. A country, which is one of the hubs of religion, lacks the power to protect we woman. A country, which treats women as commodities, as tools of sexual pleasure, who should be used, battered and then left to rot naked on the street, does not deserve to be called a developing nation.

Where are our rights? When can we confidently say that we are free? After almost 60 years of Independence, we girls are still subjugated, we girls are still dominated.

Where is justice India?

The End of Humanity
