Triple Talaq

Triple Talaq - The practice of Muslim men instantly divorcing their wives without their consent just by uttering the word 'Talaq' thrice has been a subject of debate and controversy for a long time.

Many Muslim women have reported instances of being divorced by their husbands over trivial matters. Some of them have received Triple Talaq through posts, telegraphs, over phone or even through WhatsApp messages.

India is a secular country where all religions are respected and treated equal. But it is not just a matter of belief and traditions but the basic rights of Muslim women which needs to be safeguarded by law. As a democracy, we cannot allow the discrimination and exploitation of women.

Marriage is described as a sacred bond in Quran. In case of a divorce it should happen with the consent of both the individuals.

For many such reasons, Triple Talaq is already banned in many Muslim-majority countries like Saudi-Arabia, Afghanistan and Pakistan. It is high time that this should be banned in India as well.

A Worthy Road With Healing Escapes

With too much time to spend on the clock, my mind -- eyeing an excuse -- offcourse went roaming back in the forbidden lanes of the past, amidst the tales still healing from pain.   For most events, my dots do connect but maybe it's too early to number the same. A gentle reminder how I am best left in a tiring marathon. While I am definitely more aware than ever of my intentions and motivations; the journey itself is probably becoming an easing necessity. "What others see as a hustle is at times just an antidote at play." Until I am better equipped to truly let go of it all and before I am already too old for the same; I would rather just focus on my ambitions and take care of my dreams and deserving obligations.  Yes, books can still leave me sleepy when left in their company for too long. But, I guess I finally have my reasons to let them consume my whole. From the few things I had envisioned for myself; topping the list were dreams of a young and...

First Sunset in South Korea

Date- 01/09/2017 I love watching sunsets. In the evening I was feeling a little upset so just went to the ground. I walked a bit and then sat on the grass for a while. While sitting there, I noticed sun was about to set so I began to notice. I wasn't really in the mood and did not really enjoy it much but felt good to notice the sunset after long. I did not had much to do today. In the morning, we went for the Induction of Korean language class. Professor Park Sun Kyu is going to be our teacher for the Korean language class. Initially, I just hated the Korean language when I tried to speak a few Korean words through some apps back in India. But after coming here and learning a couple of words I am beginning to enjoy it. I also learnt how to introduce myself in Korean. Now I really want to learn Korean. I think its gonna be fun. Our classes will be starting from monday and I will be selecting my courses tomorrow. I am feeling really sleepy right now so good night guys. 😊 ...

An Unusual Inspiration

While it is supposed to be depressing, I believe death has been the most inspirational tale to this once 17 year old.  I was 5 when life decided to show, what loss felt like. Yet in my childish beliefs and imaginations, I refused to believe I never will see my hero. To be honest, looking back I hold no real memories. I don't know if it was that psychological phenomenon in action where people learn to block and forget part of their memories subconsciously or it was simply me being ever so forgetful. It took me 8 years of failed prayers and that sight of mom's tears followed by her lines of wisdom. Slowly but steadily, I began my first tale of moving on. I had to teach myself not to respect her a bit more but to see beyond her scoldings and love her for being my mother.  Years passed by, me and Mom went on to become friends but I stayed somewhat incapable and a little less competent when it came to my emotions. It would take me some more failed friendships and a coup...
