Fear of the unknown! | Kala Ghoda Festival, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India |
The horrendous truth of the Dark India! We often hear stories of rape incidents, but what we not hear often is the stories of those victims who actually faces it. Fear of social anxiety and inner pain not only kills the person from inside but it also grows an insecurity of ending a life. Its hard to imagine that how the rape victims live their lives. But if we take a stand and help such people in building their confidence, then we can surely save some lives. There is nothing better than helping others in their difficult times. So, join your hands and save humanity!
Re-posting one of my old poems with this photo blog post.
कुछ कहती थी वो उन ओझल आँखों से ..
कुछ ख्वाब थे उसके हसीन ..
अरमान थे उसके कुछ बनने के ..
दुनिया थी उसकी बेहद रंगीन ..
छोटी सी भूल वो कर बैठी ..
निकल पड़ी अकेली तंग रस्तो पे ..
न वक़्त का पता था ..
न अनहोनी घटने का अंदाज़ा ..
प्यार से पली थी वो, मासूमियत थी उसकी निशानी ..
पर हैवानो के पिंजरे में फस गयी बिचारी वो अनजानी ..
घुट घुट के सहा उसने ..
हैवानियत का वो मंज़र ..
नादान सी थी हंसी उसकी ..
दूर हो गयी अब हर ख़ुशी उसकी ..
सोचा न था उसने जो हुआ ..
दरिन्दायी का आलम उसने जो सहा ..
कहते हुए भी डर लगता है ..
पर दिल्ही अब किसी के मन में नहीं बस्ता है ....
अरमान थे उसके कुछ बनने के ..
दुनिया थी उसकी बेहद रंगीन ..
छोटी सी भूल वो कर बैठी ..
निकल पड़ी अकेली तंग रस्तो पे ..
न वक़्त का पता था ..
न अनहोनी घटने का अंदाज़ा ..
प्यार से पली थी वो, मासूमियत थी उसकी निशानी ..
पर हैवानो के पिंजरे में फस गयी बिचारी वो अनजानी ..
घुट घुट के सहा उसने ..
हैवानियत का वो मंज़र ..
नादान सी थी हंसी उसकी ..
दूर हो गयी अब हर ख़ुशी उसकी ..
सोचा न था उसने जो हुआ ..

You have dealt with a severe form of fear that stalks Indian women.This is a fear to be addressed collectively as a society

DeleteA great poem; the last line on Delhi gives a final punch of power. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Pranju! Really glad that you liked it :)
DeleteThe situation of our capital is very much visible to everyone. I hope the State and Central government join hands for this and put some genuine efforts in making Delhi a better place to live!
Our society is such that we tend to sweep the dark demons under the carpet rather than address them in a humane way. Wonderful post, the poem is really touching.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Arti! :)
DeleteThis poem needs a place beyond this blog...so aptly penned...
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your kind words, Shweta! Really glad that you liked it :)
Deletebeautiful pain, it really brings out the pain of the victim,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Cifar!Glad that you liked it :)
DeleteI could not take my eyes off the image!!!
ReplyDeleteThe poem is amazing - minus the Delhi mention. I agree the rate is much higher in Delhi, but the situation is same across the country. It's just that Delhi being the capital and daily footfall point of e adjacent states (UP, Haryana, Rajasthan) comes to the limelight.
Other than it, I loved the lines..:)
Thank you so much for stopping by and reading this post,Amita! Glad you liked the poem! :)
DeleteI agree that Delhi is not the only place where these incidents are happening.But the poem was written in 2012, when the nirbhaya incident happened. I just shared it few days back again, when I heard one more incident like that (and the place was Delhi only). Whereas, I completely agree with you on the fact that the situation is bad everywhere.
Thanks again for your feedback!:)
These heinous crimes make us shudder,how they must affect the victims can never be imagined by others.Yes,they need all the help we can give them,but they seldom let their suffering known to others.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for stopping by and reading this post,Indu! Yes, we can never imagine the pain but if we can help them to stand again and fight against the odds, then I believe its the best we can do from our side.
DeleteNice poem! And if the collective conscience of all countrymen is awakened only then will the safety of women be ensured. Everyone needs to respect the others.
