Dear Sirs/ Madams, I would like to take this opportunity to express my deepest gratitude towards you for enlightening us women as to why when we do certain things; we call upon ourselves the inevitable circumstance of getting raped. Had you not stepped upon the mantle to highlight what we dented and painted women do, we would have stayed in the darkness of ignorance and continued to get raped and hoped for justice only stemming out of the wrong belief that the rapist is the criminal and not us.

DeleteThere are always two paths.. One - you have to compromise and give up your dream.. Two - A bit risky but you go for it hoping everything will be alright in the end.. bcoz it is ur dream.
ReplyDeletethe happiness and satisfaction you get in the 2nd path is immense compared to the stuff you get to compromise for in the 1st path. Always.
I have chosen 2nd path and I am yet to reach the destination but the journey has been superb till now :)
How true Raja.You just summed up the solution to my problem.And i will pray you reach your destination soon!
DeleteYou also summed up your situation very well in few lines.
ReplyDeleteJust go for it. Youth comes only once. Later in life everything depends on the path we chose now :)
