I am a woman, just like you

-
Smilingly, I said I am a woman.
I can see the beautiful world where we both can live,
I can taste the air which makes both of our lives possible,
I can hear the same music of Mother Nature on which we both can dance,
I can smell our happiness which proves us to be the owners of our land.

But, hey!
I am feeling something different.
Am I supposed to be at the place where I am?
The sensory organs prove we are equal.
Then why am I being treated as a mistaken human sequel?

Two legged creatures honk at me during days and nights
People judge me when I walk past the absence of light
They take me as if I am granted and priced in their pocket
Not allowed to dance, drink and laugh to the fullest!

However, they know this is wrong
still can not unfollow the rooted tradition :
which internalized superiority in them so deep
which never wants women to take a fast and forward leap!

Lets understand it, learned people!
The One sees it all: we all are made equally,
So, we all are fully free to enjoy our liberty.

 And yes, smilingly, I said I am a woman.
 A  human, just like you.

Your move, Girls!

Riding a micro bus on my way to Ratna Park, I looked through the window and saw the wide open ground of Tundikhel. My eyes saw many people playing cricket and football, but my mind noticed something different. There were tall boys, short boys, fat boys, thin boys, young boys, old boys and so on, but not even a single girl was to be seen. I moved my eyes here and there, from one corner of that plain ground to another, but I could see nobody except boys. The place looked like a “girl-free zone” to me. It’s quite astonishing how the female population outnumbers the male population in our country, but in the context of people being in the public sphere, the male population has always been higher. Women have been given a 33 percent quota, still we find girls lagging behind in the public sphere. It may be because of our own perception too. For example, when we are riding a bus being driven by a woman, we think that she is very courageous and amazing. But when we see a woman driving a car,...
