World From My Iris

Every episode of Satyamev Jayte leaves me speechless, yet pumps so much blood in my heart and make me want to hug myself and feel proud of me. I see all those survivors, who faced challenges whether it was domestic violence, forced abortions, sexual molestation or humiliation due to dowry demands. But one thing prevails, that they were lost when they endured that torture but they did not succumb to it. It takes that one strong willed NO, which ends all further pain. It's a different story that the No in many cases comes after several tortures, humiliation and painful incidents..But it does come. When I look at them, who bore these tortures and have resurrected their fate, those who grew stronger than their tormentor and have healed themselves, I give a silent hug through this thin air from me to them. I have been there, luckily not in such extreme challenge but yes being violated and snatched off my self esteem and safety..And I swear to God, it was not easy. Repeated attempts...
