Letter to a rape victim !

Dear Girl,

I know you are in peace now. You are resting in god's lap and seeing everyone here fighting for JUSTICE... But trust me now you are safe !

We did candle march, we blamed system/ government, we shouted for a death penalty, we did all this every time we heard of a rape.

Now since a month has passed we are back to our normal life, we still see news channels covering similar news everyday and we then sip a cup of tea and curse the system, security, people with filthy mindset and what not. We watch politician and some media channels cooking up stories on your rape, some make it a big political issue and some points on your dressing sense and we as public blame law and order. At the end justice too get raped....

We ask ourselves; what more can be done??? What is next? who is next? and what should be done to stop rapes? these questions keeps hovering in our brain every time we hear a news on rape.
Yes, we go partying later in the day, we go to our offices and keep ourselves busy everyday. I am sure that was your life style too, you also had a normal life, loads of plan to travel, to study, to work, to live & laugh and to be loved and do something for this society... But this place was not safe enough for your dreams and trust you are in safe hands now.

We now promise that we will give every girl a better place to live and will not let this happen again, we promise to be more responsible and will always be ready to help anyone in need, will fight against evil, will be in senses to avoid any crime, will educate everyone around to treat a woman equally, will create awareness, will oppose any sort of assault. We promise no matter where; be it a college, school, club, office, road, bus, anywhere, we will make it better place for every girl. We will make it safe for every girl to walk with pride.

Can you please come back again? We promise to make this place worth living.

"This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in."

Your Culprit-
"Society"

"Unloved, Not Unworthy"

Married at 21, divorced at 26— No honeymoon, no couple’s dance, no romantic fix. Never held hands on a journey afar, Never wished on a shared shooting star. Seventeen years without love's grace, Eleven alone—just empty space. I’m 43 now, the world moves on, But my heart still aches where dreams are gone. Fake smiles, false hopes, love betrayed, Used, discarded, quietly decayed. Yet here I stand, still breathing pain— Longing for love, yet left in the rain. If you feel this too—know this is true: You are not unlovable. The world just failed you. _Pooja Agarwal_ _1st July 2025_

"I"

Image
I am in progress... With time I have accepted and understood the reality that some people don't come to me because they care for me or like me, they only come to me because they see me as someone who is... "Vulnerable" | "a flesh" |  "a divorced woman" | "living alone" | "have no one" But I CANNOT be defined in these categories... I am MUCH MORE than this, A LOT more, than one can IMAGINE.  I am a strong person who definitely get hurts but rise and shine again.  I may cry every night but I will wake up next morning with a smile and hope.  I may be broken and alone inside, but I have the courage to make others smile. I still believe in love, no matter I have been judged for being caring, sweet, innocent and loving. I know, I have been hurt, betrayed and disowned a million times by people who were once part of me. But I won't give up, because I am a Phoenix !
