As a journalist its nothing exemplary.. what many of my colleagues do ...
..and I wouldn't have bothered to put this down for a misogynistic bigot and a jobless woman like you Ms Vaidya..
but it is my duty to do so for all the girls and young Indian women out there who are too young , too vulnerable , too impressionable ..where so very often insecure patriarchal women like you pull them down on the basis of the colour of their skin/lipstick/bra strap ..where you define their intellect by the length of their skirt or the make up on their face ! It's for them that I put this down. I have been there 20 years ago as a young girl and I know the likes of you! -you can't take away my achievements from me 🙂.. its not just me .. it's us women against the likes you. You are free to crawl back in your hole and construct your next tweet - but madam get off my damn timeline ! for all I care you can go @#%* yourself... and for the red lipstick ? ..I think I rock it 🙂 .. it's Diva my mac btw..
