What's in a dress..

Yes we love to wear what we like, but do we want that at the cost of our life…
When there are so many assaults on women, and with none of the measures helping to reduce the crime rate, should’nt we be careful. I am a modern women, I have my career, manage a lovaly home, travel, be the way I want and my comparison with a mordern woman ends there.

With all the assaults over the last few years, I feel unsafe, I am scared to go after 10, scared for myself and my family. Under such situation I do not want to blame anyone, but act more responsibly if its not safe to travel around late, I do not want take the risk, I am not a super women.

Yes there are fanatics around, how do we know them, how does the law know them.
If simply wearing an “Indian Attire” and ensuring I don’t travel late will keep me safe, I want that safety. But does that ensure no one attacks my home?

If I stop my daughter from going to school out of fear, am I not being medivial. But being called a medivial mother is OK for the safety of my child.
But does that ensure she is safe at home?

I am not sure what will keep us safe but definitely the highest punishment will atleast instill a fear on fanatics.

I want the best for my daughter, isin’t that what every mother wants. I want her to fly and capture the skies. But do I want to take risks for that, and if I am ok to take risks then how many, and to what extent. Should I follow her in school, track her at her friends place, accompany her to the park and decide her dress. Now is she really flying or is she just a being a kite who is allowed to fly but the string (here its me) attached decides the direction, the duration and the destination…

Daughters are such a blessing but the world around me does not even allow me to enjoy that state of mind. Yes I can say I d’ont care about all this, afterall I am a modern woman. But by telling I do not care do I actually care…
