CLOSE TO ME

My friends,
It feels good to have my own blog.....there are things which are close to my heart and things which have affected me one way or the other.....my thoughts,my desires,my aspirations,my fears my gods and my demons---you will find all of them here....I invite you to go through them and get a glimpse of my innermost feelings....................

Womb

Is my womb not my own?
From the time I am born
to the time I die,
I am being pushed around.
I cannot choose what I want to do.
I am merely treated as an object all the time.
Even when I become pregnant
with a girl child,
I am forced to abort it.
But, I am not asked to abort the boy foetus.

Why should my womb
listen to the dictates of the patriarchal society?

It is my womb, my life,
and the life I bring into this world
will only be mine.
It will be a human life
not a boy or a girl.(23.02.2006)
