We Promote Humanity..

A message absolute and direct-

It takes a man to have woman like her,
And it takes a lot for a woman to have a man like him.
Let gender not have control over the opportunities that you get,
It's talent, ability, skill and responsibilities well, that have to be met.
Let masculinity not be judged on the basis of what work you do,
Females aren't their responsibility, but the equivalent other pair of shoe,
Masculinity or femininity do not get wronged if responsibilities get exchanged,
It's individual choice that they have boldly taken and successfully managed.
Situations that get created make the person act in a certain way,
She may be a woman, but that doesn't mean she has any less of a say.
Let's influence society for equality and good,
We promote humanity and the reason is to be understood.

- Krisha Panchal & Pragya Lodha

A Journey To Remember

"The day I catch my train on time, I'll give myself a treat", Shobha said to herself. Waiting for another train would be a looooong time at night.
As a person who was pursuing a career in photography, she had a keen nature of observing her surroundings and get lost in her thoughts. When her train arrived , she was unaware of it.
She only realised it when the train had already started moving away so she hopped in as soon as possible and into whatever compartment that was in front of her. As luck would have it, it was the general compartment.
The day she had started travelling for college, an idea had been plotted in her brain that general compartment at night can never be safe. The compartment's eerie silence was only intensified by 2 very peculiar people. There was a guy sitting in the corner wearing a hoodie and a girl somewhere in the middle row. That girl was sleeping. There was no one else apart from them in that compartment.
As she tried to steal a few glances at the man's face without making it obvious, he stood up and as took a few steps towards her. Her heart lurched into a frenzy. Fear took over her. She felt as if she had lost her voice. Even if she screamed, who would hear her over the sound of the train beating against the railway tracks? There was nothing more deafening than the silence in the compartment.
He came and asked, "I want to get down at Wadala would you mind telling me which side the platform would come? Sorry but that ma'am sitting over there (pointing his finger at the back) is asleep. So I asked you."
Still dazed because of the adrenaline pumping through her veins, she silently pointed to the opposite side. The man politely thanked her and went on to stand on the other side of the compartment.

That day, she realised that people, no matter if its a man or woman, should never be stereotyped over some prejudiced facts. If there is threat, it will be from anyone, irrespective of their gender.
