  Hi Guys, This Blog has written by my Friend, please do give it a read. Hi all, I was conscripted to write something that a friend could put up on their blog, so here I am and so you'll see it on their blog. Welcome! For context, before this year, I was considered a White Male of Caucasian decent living in the United States in a fairly well-off family and currently am in my 3rd year of college. I thought for a couple months on what to write about and at the time I had started my own personal journey through some personally uncharted waters. So I came to the brilliant idea to write about that journey, spoilers it's LGBTQ related. Lets start back in my High school days oh so far in the past, Junior year I began to desire being female, as in if I could flip the gender switch to change my gender I would do with nearly no hesitancy. This feeling permeated my last two years of High school and followed me through my freshman year (COVID year of 2019-2020). Starting my second year o...

  I still have the vivid memory of those days when I was in Delhi for almost a year and used to take metro to commute from Sector 16 Noida to Barakhamba. On my en route, i used to see this lady, who begged every day accompanied by her child.   From early morning to late night, she used to do begging in the name of her child’s injury. One fine day she came up to me asking for help and said “I need money for my child’s treatment as my child is severely injured.” I did see a bandage on his head and blood coming out from it but I knew that it was fake blood. So I ignored it like every other person but the realization of the murky future that child might have and the innocence that is getting sabotaged due to his involvement in all this, made me distraught. At this age when a child should be studying, playing and exploring the enigma of universe, he is being deprived of all of this.    Deluged with these thoughts, I couldn’t resist myself and called upon her as to kno...

  I am a 3rd-year student of B.A.LL.B. As of now, I don’t have any achievements like no certificates, no debates, and no national moots. But Yes, I have one achievement and that is I am in the law field. I want to explain why and how I chose this Law field. I did my HSC from the science stream and cleared JEE mains. During the JEE mains counseling, I felt that I never wanted to be an engineer. I told my father that I want to do something for my country's justice system so I decided to become a lawyer and this field suits me because I have one quality that I can fight until and unless I get justice done. I want to thank my father for giving me a chance to live my dream. He empowered me to pursue my dreams. After I prepared for CLAT and I got a college. As I am from a middle-class family and have no contacts in the law field, a lot of people suggested that without contacts I won't be able to do anything in this field, but I believe they are wrong. Each time someone asks me what I...

  In our college there is a one Guard Aunty. The very first time I came across her was when one college student had died in a road accident and everyone was gathered at the college campus to mourn and pray for his departed soul.  After attending that, I returned to the college hostel and saw Guard Aunty sitting near the heater as it was the coldest month of the winters. I stopped by to ask about her well-being and sat near her. She was also disheartened because of the misfortune everyone witnessed by losing one precious student and said "parents se pucho uske bacche ke Jane ka dukh Kya hota hai bachhe samjhte hi nhi khash usne Alcohol pike drive nhi Kiya hota toh aaj vo shyd jinda hota". She said, I known that pain when someone loses their own dear ones because I have lost my husband in March 2019. Then I sympathized with her and asked more about her husband death and that is when she told me that earlier he was a guard in this college but died due to some illness in 2019 and...

An Anecdote on periods. I remember a day when I visited my aunt's house in 2013 for summer vacations. One day was my cousin's birthday and during celebrating the Birthday while cutting the cake my aunt asked me to pass the Matchbox to her from the pooja Ghar.  Next day, we all sat together (my aunt, cousin and me). At that time my cousin asked "Mumma why did you tell Sadhna to pass the matchbox from the pooja Ghar while she is going through in periods? " My Aunt's said "Oh sorry, I was unaware of that" and started scolding me saying that "mummy ne ye nhi sikhaya ki periods m pooja Ghar m nhi jate". I was really hurt by her behaviour and cried a lot. One thing that came to my mind was how orthodox can people get that only by touching the matchbox the whole Mandir gets impure. Do you really think the women during menstruation (which is the reason of your birth) is impure? India where several goddesses are worshipped. One of them Devi needs such p...

Today one unsettling thought crossed my mind and I feel like sharing it with you guys. So the thing is yesterday I came across my bhabhi (my cousin’s wife) who is a widow as my Bhaiya passed away a few years ago, in a family function after a long time. I was dismayed seeing, how much she has transformed from an upbeat and happy person to a dejectedly silent person, wearing no makeup, accessories, bindi nothing but a simple plain saree. It caught my attention when my sisters were discussing that “ vo kitni change ho gyi hai, shant aur kam bolna” then my sister called her and asked ‘ how are you’ and she replied ‘ I am okay’ and then my sister said ‘ it’s okay to put bindi and light accessories, if you like’ and her reply is still clinging to my mind when she said that what if people misjudge her saying that her husband is dead and she is expressing no pain, being brazen as she is embellished with jewelleries, bindi and make up. After that I felt, I m also a girl and I love b...

This morning, sweeper came by so I went outside to hand him garbage then I saw that he brought his daughter who is 9 years old along with him. I was caught off guard and felt dejected seeing her and expressed my gratitude towards God as I am blessed with everything I need to make my life survivable and then I asked that person why he brought his daughter with him as she was so naive and young to do this work Instead she should be in studying like other children and then he told me "bhen ji haath m lag gyi thi toh le Aya tha...." hearing to this I was short of words and said no worries but try not to bring your child to this work because your generation did this that's why u r doing but try not to pass this to your child as it will affect her future generation also. The moral of the story is that we are blessed with everything we need in our lives. It is upon us to understand the difference between our needs and our wants and if you have more than your needs then try to sh...
