#ABUSE -Why is this word more specifically linked with Women ?#AtoZChallenge2018

Come April and the month long blogging festival #AtoZChallenge2018 begins.  My theme for this challenge is #Astitva in which I would be sharing many aspects of a woman’s existence . I would be sharing my thoughts combined with some fiction which form  part of our surroundings .

#AtoZChallenge2018

The alphabet of the day is A .

A stands for :  ABUSE

Abuses are wounds that may not show up on the body but are deeper and more hurtful than anything else . Why is this word ‘Abuse’ more specifically linked with women ?

A piece of fiction on Abuse

 

Abuse

 

Above is the pic I choose to write about ABUSE.

Reena was a psychologist who was working as a counsellor in a multinational company . All the company employees and her friends too always approached her with their problems and every time , she resolved them with love and concern . Her positive attitude was always talked of in the office and it definitely helped maintain a healthy atmosphere in the office .

But at her home , the psychologies just didn’t sync . Her positive attitude was  badly dominated by HIS negative all the time . She managed to strengthen herself   enough  that the tension and the insult  she often  faced at home was never  reflected at  her workplace.

But today , Rajiv and his toxic drinks reflected  their wild beast character  and that too in his wife’s office . He just couldn’t tolerate to see  Reena  behaving  so friendly with her colleagues . She was  physically , verbally and  emotionally abused  by her man in front of all the office staff . And she laid helpless , burning  in the smoky egoistic masculinity .

My thoughts on the word ‘Abuse’

Right from childhood till the end , women suffer many kind of abuses . Starting from physical Abuse , emotional Abuse , social Abuse , she also suffers the worst of all,  that is  sexual abuse . We may have progressed a lot in the 21st century but this so called progress is  making even the infant girls become victims of highest form of sexual abuse .  Almost  daily I can read of a rape in the newspaper . So is this what Progress is ? Why are men hardly victims of sexual abuse ?

Why is a woman not clothed in the same dignity as a man ?

Why is woman always seen differently ?

Why is She looked upon as a sex object ?

The modern woman of today may be alert for her rights and security but still she does face the claws of  Abuse at many points .  Some women have become bold to shout  out the things but some still  prefer to be quiet . Some still make compromises even after getting abused . Why ?  Is SHE to be defined always as per HE ?  When will we have minds free from bias ?

A letter to my Kitchen

 Being a woman i also spend lot of time in my kitchen whether full heartedly , half heartedly or not at all heartedly . But in any case i have to go in my kitchen off and on . Today I feel like writing a letter to my kitchen. Dear Kitchen    Hope you are living a fulfilling life with all your jars filled to the brim with wheat , rice , pulses , sugar , tea ,coffee and cookies . I also hope that your sinks are now empty and clean unlike the last month when maid was on leave . Those days ,your sinks used to be piled up with utensils and it stinked so badly .  Dear kitchen , it's been around seventeen years that i am taking care of you . Now you are grown up as a teenager and so you should learn to be responsible and maintain your hygiene .  It feels good when my family agrees on khichdi and your cooker does the job   in  just one whistle . But you just don't cooperate when they demand Chole Bhature and you also start giving me tantrums . Remember ho...

Why do I write ?

 I have been writing a blog for the last five years and many times people question me why do i write . Well ! I don't have an exact answer . But whenever someone has asked me this question ' Why do you write ?' i have answered in the form of some question only like 'Why do you go shopping ?' or 'Why do you love to  go  on vacation?'  Actually the basic answer is that it feels good . It makes me happy , contented and also a little proud of myself . The feeling when i boasted about being an author is incomparable . May be you don't read me but I keep writing for myself - to reflect on my life experiences and learn from them. Earlier i used to feel depressed when people didn't read me but now it's just between me and my blog . Writing  helps me connect to my creative side and helps increase my vocabulary also. Writing provides an escape when reality becomes too complex. I like to write because it allows me to focus on a subject  and helps me relieve...
