Mama,
I last saw you and Papa together more than 35 years ago. Since the day Papa left, I have watched you face everything life threw at you with never-ending courage and dignity. Only Priyanka and I really know what you have been through, and how difficult your life after Papa truly was.
I am happy, and so proud, that your story - “Belonging: A Journey of Love” - will finally be read by the millions of people who love you. I know how hard it was for someone as private as you to tell the world your beautiful story.
Today, on his birthday, I can see Papa smiling and looking down proudly at his beautiful Sonia.
Love,
Rahul
@chiragbarjatya Those who do this surely have a fear they might have to rent the sherwani again.
It's once in a lifetime thing you always don't put math in here
Ever wondered how depression feels like?
Depression is heavy. It's feeling the weight of every emotion. They become overbearing and overstimulating. You feel too much. You're sensitive.
@DeepikaBhardwaj This was very much needed
Thank you
Felt like a criminal, wasn't able to sleep and many other things for things which i haven't done but i do get the agitation too
So yeah,
Thank you!
FOR THE MEN WHO ARE FEELING LOST
It can be extremely confusing & irritating to be blamed for things you've never done.
It can be extremely disappointing to be seen as potential rapist, molester, wife beater & be called scum on this earth, a burden, good for nothing, pervert & more only because of your Gender
It can be overwhelming to see posts after posts after posts where every woman around you is blaming you, condemning you, putting you in the same category as a brutal criminal when all you've done for them is care
I FEEL YOU. I ALSO GET YOUR AGITATION
BUT PLEASE DON'T TAKE IT TO YOUR HEART
When emotions run high, such outpour happens
Don't argue with those who are using a horrific crime to spread hate against every man
Don't try to explain yourself to those who do nothing on ground for any woman ever but switch on activist mode once in a while to pretend concerned
Don't slam those who get surgeries done & gain male following by showing moons & then call men perverts
These are opportunists masquerading as online activists. Ignore
BUT
Don't compare violence on men with violence against women. None is okay and there isn't any competition
Don't undermine that there's indeed a genuine problem of sexual violence against women in the country and an overwhelming number of women feel really unsafe
Don't fight with anyone as this ain't a gender war, ask, what exactly can you do to bring a change
Don't resist. Such crimes open wounds you probably don't even know about
Take care!
