10 Bold Artworks That Prove Menstrual Blood Is Nothing To Be Ashamed Of
A Decade Of Rainbows: 14 Powerful And Fierce Messages From Delhi Pride
What started out a tiny group of people marching from Regal Cinema in 2008 has today become a massive celebration of all LGBTQ Indians in the heart of the nation. Yes, the tenth annual Delhi Queer Pride has just come to a close, and it was a lovely, vibrant, clamorous occasion, as people came out in hordes to fly the rainbow flag high.
One of the things that we love so much about Pride are the creative, witty, snarky, assertive, colourful posters that bob along over a sea of heads. And we couldn’t not document them for posterity! So here are our picks:
It Is Time We Talk About Gender Wage Gap & Encourage Women To Fight For Their Rights
This is no secret to us all that even in the 21st century, there exists a huge wage gap between men and women. For equal work, women get paid lesser than their male counterparts. But this is the tip of the iceberg and fixing the problem requires a much deeper understanding of the issue.
How To Write (And Not Write) About Abortion
Abortion or medical termination of pregnancy is a sensitive issue because of the conflicting opinions people hold about it. Unfortunately and frequently, media-descriptions can add to the problem by sending out unscientific and incorrect meanings thereby, making it seem like an evil and undesirable practice.
“मर्द कम उम्र लड़की से शादी करे तो वो प्यार, महिला करे तो चरित्र पर सवाल”
साल 2018 में बड़ी शादियां हो रही हैं। हमारे बॉलीवुड से लेकर हॉलीवुड तक और इस बीच रॉयल वेडिंग को भी कैसे भूल सकते हैं। हाल ही में हुई शादियों में देखें तो सोनम कपूर ने आनंद आहूजा से ब्याह रचाया है। उसके बाद नेहा धूपिया ने अंगद बेदी से और मेगन मार्कल, प्रिंस हैरी के साथ शादी के साथ बंधन में बंध गयीं।आपको लगेगा कि मैं इन सभी शादियों का ज़िक्र क्यों कर रही हूं, तो कारण है कि हर शादी के बाद लोगों की जुबां पर एक ही सवाल आया, “अरे, लड़की तो लड़के से बड़ी है।”
Dear Men, If A Woman Rejects You, You Don’t Become A ‘Half-Boyfriend’
This post is in response to an article I came across a few days ago from one of my most read Indian blogs, Arré (though it was written last year).
It was titled ‘Confessions of a Half-Boyfriend’, penned by a gentleman named Parthshri Arora
Mr. Arora wrote this article as his response to an article by Ms. Nimisha Mishra about the ‘nice-guys’who expect relationship in return for being a good friend.
As his author bio says, ‘confused about most stuff’, I could see in his article how that was true.
Wearing Salwar Kameez Is Not A Crime
Judging is one of the most overused words nowadays and while some judge directly or indirectly, some spew horrible words. As usual, women are the main target. The world would probably be a little different if we could reduce it on the individual level!Recently, I came across an advertisement that caught my attention. It was all about not judging a woman. It was an advertisement with a different mindset and which really appealed to me a lot. It was indeed inspiring and empowering lines for every woman, one of which says, “Meri salwar-kameez mujhko behenjee nahein bulatee (My Salwar-kameez doesn’t call me an aunty)” and the salwar-kameez clad girl immediately sits and rides away on her bullet with pride in front of all the so called “modern” people.
