The need to explain a NO.

I bet everyone has come across a moment in life where we were asked "Why do you dislike it?", "Why you don't want to do it? ", "Why you don't want to choose this?" and so on but do we really need a reason?

This may be absurd for few but sometimes I don't want to do things or I don't want to go to places just because I don't feel so. I have noticed how mere no doesn't work but we always route for reasons. This can seem so small but leaves behind a large impact if one dwells deeper into it.Whenever we hear a 'NO' we then ask a question 'WHY' as if someone's 'NO' needs justification. "Does it really?", Is my question.

I do understand that sometimes it's people's curiosity and reflex that does the job but I feel certain things should be left as it is instead of unwrapping it. I also recently came across a quote that said "NO is a full sentence" and that left me thinking and then I couldn't agree more to it. Someone's NO doesn't need a reason, it is the reason!

Feminism

 Have you ever come across that day where you feel nothing but complete rage. That's one such day for me today. What's Feminism?  According to me it's fighting for those rights which was once robbed from women. A Feminist doesn't necessarily need to be just women. In this context it's the fight for the marginalised. Anyone can be and should be a Feminist.  But am tired of this world constantly misinterpreting this term. Recently came across a movie called "Aan Paavam pollathathu" that made no sense. The film totally misleads the society where still few people are trying to understand what Feminism is. I am neither with the female lead nor with the male lead of this film. Both had their own flaws.But what agitated me was the way everything was portrayed. The film constantly conveys that the female lead is stupid and is expected to behave a certain way just because she stays home. Since when an independent woman meant someone who smokes. Smoking is a bad hab...

Judge at first glance.

It doesn't take a second for me to judge when it comes to men. I recently was to take an auto ride but was very hesitant to get into one judging the way the auto anna appeared to be. To add up to my uncertainty that particular auto also had these weird red lights inside making it look creepy in the dark night. However that day it was the only auto available and I was to get into my hostel before the curfew time. With doubts clogged in my head and fear gripping my heart I got into it. Turned out he was a sweet guy,I don't know may be the fear was so evident on my face that he made sure I was comfortable by talking out random things casually. And that really made me feel at ease. Was the auto anna the problem here for having no clue and becoming the victim of my fear? No. Was I the problem to have doubted him ? Certainly no. What truly is the problem is that how society has taught us certain things the hard way. I did feel sad later recalling how I ended up suspecting an innocent...

Familiarity from the Unknown

 A day where I witnessed so many good souls.To begin with am not a very optimistic person.I often tend to stick with that one belief that people in general are bad and do not truly deserve our trust.But there was this day that broke all of that. It was few weeks back when I went to meet my sister and unfortunately I knew nothing about her place even which bus to board on.So right at the bus stand there was this young girl who helped me figure out which bus was it and helped me board into it.I couldn't even say thanks to her due to all the rush and chaos but was only able to wave her with gratefulness. Clueless me didn't even know when the place where I have to get down would arrive. Seeing my state there was this old lady that was near me who reassured me saying "Dont be scared ma it's the last stop,you can get down when everybody does" and that really helped me relax. Tracing back to the morning of the same day while I was walking to my class, a car quietly slowe...
