Stepping into 'THEIR' Shoes

     Though, India is known as a country with diversity, there is still one thing that India is highly ignorant about: Liberalism.
      I remember, when I was younger, and was making my way through the streets everyday, there was something that I was particularly very scared of. I used to always try and take the alternate route to try and keep my distance whenever it was spotted. Although it was completely harmless, I used to think of it as something inhuman, or apart from the community. That was... 'The Hijra Community.'
      Now that I've grown up enough to be able to access a wider perspective of the world, I have come to realize that i was so wrong to consider the Hijras outsiders. Or was I? Was it my fault that i was not educated about the different and unique creations of God who are more or less, Just Like Us!
We live in a world where sui generis ideas of living are not easily accepted. But in the end, we need to realize that we all are humans with flesh, blood and bones. The only things that differentiates us is our 'Difference in Thought Process.'
Every living being has a right to live life in a way which makes them happy. Hence, abandoning the Hijras and people like them out of the community due to difference in thoughts is something that needs to be changed.
       If not accept, we should atleast respect their decisions and 'Live and Let Live'. This can only happen when the coming generation is well educated about our anomalous world and only then we will be able go accept the sui generis and live in unison with differentiation!

The Eyes That Changed My Life

For a long time of my life, I remember being a very naive, coy and an insecure person. I was so afraid to talk to people that I was often the centre of hoot for various reasons, may it be my shyness, my appearance or even just the fact that I was there. That's when I realized, that the most intelligent species in the world is actually a scam and the notion of co-existence was just a farce. Humans, instead of helping each other evolve, liked to feed their egos and self esteems by belittling the same species around them without caring about each other's souls. But then, when I had almost made up my mind that this world is filled with deciet and even hoping for co-existence had become a sin, I encountered onto something, not human of course, that subsequently was about to change my life forever. When I, for the first time, saw those four tiny little paws running towards me and greeting me with utmost pleasure like I was someone very important and loved, something struck me. Whe...

Escaping The Tornado

It all started 2 years ago. I was out for dinner with my family when I first felt it. At first I thought it was just an acid reflux from eating too much spice. But then, it started growing by the minute and suddenly everything went numb. My head started spinning like the wheels of a high-speed sports bike and my legs started shaking like they had no life left in them. There was a very prominent choking feeling in my neck as if some monster was pulling onto my esophagus hard enough to make me choke but not enough to take my life. I could feel my heart beating as if it was on the highest fast forward setting. I was rushed to the hospital by my very clueless and scared family members and upon reaching there, I was taken into the general ward immediately and given an injection after which I was absolutely fine and back to sanity within minutes. Turns out, it was an allergic reaction to something that I had eaten. Everyone was relieved, and we went home as if nothing had even happened. Ev...

       I study in a design college,  which means that we study and do things that don't fit the usual conventional routines. Our learning procedures and experiences are not just limited to the four walls, but require us to step out into the real world and completely submerge ourselves into it in order to 'learn'.        Subsequently, in the past two years, I have been fortunate enough to experience the true soul of what we call 'humans' and their way of functioning in different circumstances. So, in the last semester, we had a module for Photography where in we were supposed to capture the true crux of Pune through the pictures that we click. So, being the overexcited and overenthusiastic teens that we were, my friend and I set out early in the morning to explore the profoundness that the city holds.        As we passed one lane after the other, we started getting more and more curious about the functioning of the city...
