The Ideal Beauty

Recently, one bright morning, I was reading my newspaper as usual.Of all the headlines in that morning's newspaper,  one caught my attention i.e "Suicide of a girl ! B ullied for not being beautiful"! Is this something so weird and strange? For me, it is not so. Yes! As a girl I know, there is no argument about the fact that most of the girls/women are highly concerned about their looks. Admit it or not, Each and Every women wants to look beautiful. But, if we begin caring for good appearance beyond some limit, we may have to face ridicule. It is not our fault.

None of us have the right to question her.       As she is in the media industry, people are making circus out of her life. There are millions of such women in our country,who are leading the toughest life as a single parent. In our patriarchal society,we can come across, where only a

THE TOUCH

Soon after the examinations were over,my grandma and I took a vacation to my native village.I was so excited.We boarded a public bus.Travelling by a public bus is an ordeal.Bus was crowded like hell.My grandma was seated in a senior_citizens seat.I stood up near my grandma as there were no more seats in the bus. After sometime i heard a voice saying "Aye paapa!come and sit here".He was a middle aged man,probably equal to my fathers age. He was well dressed and looks like a real gentleman.He had given me a little place. I was seated happily,looking out of the window and i was like Oh my God! The rising sun,the greenery ,the rivers,way more...beautiful than paintings i have seen. Suddenly, there was a crawling sensation on my shoulders.I was shocked to see that gentleman was trying to "TOUCH "my hands ,grab my shoulders.I didn't understand what was happening but i can feel that this "TOUCH" was not the right one.This  "TOUCH"  is one that i
