The Weight of it There are days when I feel as though I should not exist. That I have somehow stolen a place in this world that was never meant for me. On those days, even the smallest gestures of kindness feel misplaced, undeserved. A text message from a friend, a warm meal set before […]
As a society, we have been too obsessed with women’s bodies, equating her honor and worth solely with her physical form. This obsession has led us to deny women their full autonomy—a denial of their right to psychological agency and cognitive freedom. In rape, we often talk about the physical violation, but the true exploitation lies in the violation of the mind. The anger […]

This isn’t just a metaphor; it’s the rule that governs everything from corporate ladders to social hierarchies, and yes, even the very caste system that continues to shape our lives in the modern world. Whether […]

We walk this razor’s edge daily, often without realizing it, until something forces us to stop, to examine the cracks beneath our feet.
