Natural vs Normalized: Periods and Alcohol in Indi

Image
    In India, something very natural is still treated like a secret, while something harmful is openly accepted. Periods—something every girl and woman goes through—are often hidden, whispered about, or even considered “shameful.” On the other hand, alcohol is sold freely, advertised boldly, and consumed without much hesitation.   Menstruation is a basic biological process.

Lack of awareness around menstrual hygiene can also lead to infections and serious issues.   In contrast, alcohol—despite its known risks—is widely normalized. Shops openly sell it, people casually talk about drinking, and it is often linked with celebration or status. But the truth is, alco...

Smart City or Sinking City

Delhi’s Waterlogging Crisis ​Every monsoon, India’s capital transforms into a series of lakes. While the images of submerged buses and massive traffic jams go viral, the core issue remains unaddressed. The question is: Who is to blame? ​1. Administrative Failure: Outdated Systems ​Ancient Drainage: Delhi’s drainage master plan is decades old and cannot handle the current population density or rainfall intensity. ​Lack of Coordination: Multiple agencies (MCD, PWD, DDA) often engage in a "blame game" rather than cleaning of drains before the rains arrive. ​Encroachment: Illegal constructions over natural drainage paths block the exit of rainwater. ​2. Public Negligence: The Clogging Habit ​Waste Disposal: Citizens often throw plastic waste and garbage into open drains. This debris chokes the system, preventing even a functional drain from working. ​Lack of Civic Sense: Urban flooding is worsened when local communities treat drainage outlets as dump yards. ​3. The Concrete Jungl...

 Beyond Flowers and Hashtags: What Women’s Day Really Means Every March 8th, the world runs on a script. My inbox fills with "Girl Boss" discounts, brands suddenly find a high-res photo of their only female executive, and the internet turns into a sea of lavender and inspirational quotes. It’s a 24-hour fever dream of appreciation. But then midnight hits. The hashtags evaporate, the spa coupons expire, and we wake up on March 9th to the exact same world we left on the 7th. It’s a whiplash that hurts—going from a global spotlight back to a reality of quiet endurance. We’ve been conditioned to accept praise for how well we carry our burdens, rather than questioning why the burdens are so heavy in the first place. We are told we are the "heartbeat of history," yet history books often read like a house where the doors were locked from the inside. We’ve been the quiet architects of every civilization, the rebels in the margins, and the mothers holding the sky up—but a on...
