An ode to Nirbhaya

Survivor - A Poem
I was raped
My soul was clenched with iron claws
And ripped away from my body
My body torn into pieces
As beasts feast on it
Losing my conscience
I barely cling to life
I’m burnt to ashes from inside
I can’t sleep
I can’t breathe in peace
I have nightmares haunting me
I’ve lost childhood memories
I’ve lost memories of love
All I have in me are these scars above
They’ve imprinted on my very being

I am traumatized forever
I can’t face the world
I know I'm bleeding inside
But I'm gonna rise
I'm gonna rise to fight
So that no one else has to go through it again
No one else has to see a day like mine
I’m gonna rise! I’m gonna fight!

Nari shakti hai! Nari maa hai!
Tumne apne maa ka balatkaar kiya
Jal jao aag mein tum
Tumhare paap ka prayaschit nahi
Apni maa ko maar dala
Har stree ko lalkara

Maut bhi tumko sahi saza nahi

Baby We're Addicted!

In the past few days, there have been numerous short films, debates, discussions, and videos highlighting our increasing dependency on technology. Whether it's the addiction to selfies, social networking sites, games, or news in general, technology has become an inseparable part of our lives. The ongoing debate questions whether we can survive without this technology and still consider ourselves developed or developing. EFLUites, the students and lecturers of EFL University, share their perspectives on the matter. Spandana, an EFLU student, observes people walking into her on campus, engrossed in their phones, and even her classmates browse their mobiles during class. She believes that we are becoming slaves to technology, which will have consequences in the near future. However, she acknowledges that technology is a boon for handling assignments and research, but emphasizes the importance of setting  limits. EFLU lecturers also share similar concerns, as technology has led to an...

Emo Poems from Childhood

I need you I need love in my heart My heart is lonely and alone My love is pure, so true My heart is vacant just for you I've been waiting for so long I kept singing this solitude song My heart keeps weeping then and now That I can never reach To your heart and your beautiful soul and then Your smile, your love, and your faith Can nothing be done to get things back I can't stay regretting all my life I need you to give me some space in your heart I need you to give me your love You always have all my true love But you never realized... What do I do to make you believe? My tears will tell you all that you need I'm in scarcity of tears to weep Without you, my heart is pounded deep I'm really tired of staying awake with you In my mind hurting every time There can be no other solution We've got to understand each other better and I need you to give me some space in your heart I need you to give me your love Can you forgive me for the whole thing in the past And start ov...

Onions are just the beginning

In the modern age, where progress and enlightenment are celebrated, it's disheartening to witness the persistent struggles faced by women. A recent incident on television, as I was channel surfing, left me questioning the plight of women in our society. I stumbled upon a scene of a saas (mother-in-law) berating her bahuraani (daughter-in-law) for a seemingly trivial act - adding onions to a curry. The young woman, in her delicate saree, wept profusely, her tears tarnishing the beauty of her jewel-studded attire. Why does such injustice persist? This portrayal on television, while seemingly dramatic, reflects the bitter reality of many women's lives. The issue of dowry, which may not have been about onions in this case, has been a longstanding menace. Mother-in-laws tormenting their son's wives is not an uncommon story. Countless women face abuse, both emotional and physical, when they fail to meet unreasonable dowry demands set by their husbands' families. Records illus...
