My Voice Is My Roar !

" In order to carry a positive action we must develop here a positive vision." - Dalai Lama

We live in a noisy world. We are constantly bombarded by 'voices' dictating us what to do, what to feel, what to wear and even what to eat. It becomes difficult to find your voice amidst this cacophony. I reached a point in my life, where i said, " ENOUGH!".

I was tired of my society constantly telling me to neglect the glaring inequalities entrenched deep in our " Indian " psyches, and to accept things as they were. I was tired of living in a "man's world" where power is used to control us. I was tired of being constantly told how to be - me, myself.

My voice therefore roars. It is passionate and loud. Very loud. And it does not stop roaring, until people look up and notice. It begs people to look beyond me as an "object" and accept me as a human - with emotions, dreams and passion.

My voice is my change. My voice inspires the present and transforms the future.

Honest, strong, solution based journalism is the way forward for my country and its women. I envision a world where there are no more barriers between human beings. All people are respected and valued and treated equally. I envision a world where womanhood is celebrated and NOT dictated. I know that world is possible. Together we shall make it possible.

From one woman to another, i ask you to raise your voice. I encourage you to find the truth. I hope to inspire you to celebrate yourself - as a woman.

Lots of love to all,
