  • MARIGOLD LANE # BLOGCHATTER BLOGHOP

    by Varunika November 15, 2024
    by Varunika November 15, 2024 641 views

    This place smells of the wonderful bond between cousins, of farm adventures, of tractor rides, of my first cycling lessons.

    This is not a fictional event that typically happens in a sizable number of homes across the globe. It’s about a moment between my daughter and me; it’s about a question that her inquiring eyes asked me; it’s also about how a split second can hit you with the force of an avalanche challenging every Nano-sized belief of ours which doesn’t seem to be a priority in our value system and yet in so many ways defines it.

    This is not a real story. But this is the reality for a lot of women! I know a lot of Rashmi’s who have met with a similar fate.  Close your eyes and think. How many do you know?  So many are fighting cases in court. Some win some don’t. So many continue to face this abuse and trauma throughout their life. Because that is what they are told. To continue despite all the wounds, on their body and their soul.
