About Me

My photo
I am my own confinement and sense of freedom. Who am I is the quest and the result is a life lived in finding answers. I am constantly overwhelmed by my curiosity. I am always in pursuit, on the verge of arriving at that one big answer that can simplify my life. I am sucker for good food, great conversations and exclamation marks( when i type out, I mean). At the end of it all, I am a woman still incomplete.

The entity called a WOMAN


We are living in the age of equality. I still see women fight for drinking water. My maid still gets hit by her husband every night. I come across women who do not have any knowledge about sanitation, forget contraception, its still miles away! Special schools for girls are always empty. There is rape, molestation and abuse taking place every second.There still exist villages where a female embryo is a cause of concern.
The Mangalore pub horror still haunts my brain cells. Love-rejects in turn endow us with acid-rains. A 9 year old Muslim in my street still begs her father to allow her to go to school. In this fucked up land where Gandhi sleep talked about a woman attaining complete freedom! I wonder if the species would ever live to see that day!
Isn't a 33% still hilarious in the land of equality?

After years of endurance, a final call is made to the Women Protection Cell. I am made brutally woken up to the ways of this world in turn. I am told that the In charge of the cell does not have time enough, to grace my sad-story. I wonder why has he been hired by the government? Let me guess. To swat flies with the so called files filled with emergency mercy pleas. Or maybe they are tied up with the tea board, so they ensure the board a constant revenue by consuming enormous amounts of chai. Wait a minute. They are not provided with T.V. So they jerk off with every incoming phone-call and make sure to ogle at every woman who passes that way! Talk about service that doesn't involve any problem solving and they are game for it! Now i know the reason behind the existence of the numerous women welfare organizations!

hey mannasa,


where do you get these ideas? U think u have problems..just think of people who have no homes...no one...no food...no place to live...no..nothing....u look good...seems like u have good head upon your shoulders...use it wisely...u think all around you...people are living according to the world or thinking what u know is the truth..wake up girl..these days of 20's will be gone. To live in this world..u have to become something....work hard..stay focused. These tiny pleasures will not last..planning in life is very important. Plan it ..work hard...stay focused. You can enjoy..but have your principles...don't cross your lines..don't damage the soul..since u have a pure one...don't let anyone touch it. Be good..share..your laughs..share your success stories...you have a gift of writing..use your writing for better good...remember...these words are from the people who care.
