#Repost @saavli_ladki Here's to tasting sweet freedom as an #AkeliAwaaraAzaad 💪
• • •
Back in college, I had made up my mind about moving out of Bombay, my home, immediately after graduation. Freedom, I believed, could only be found in a space where I wouldn't be watched and policed. I sought a life alone in Bangalore and then in Delhi and in all the cities and villages where I travelled as a journalist. Questioned and judged, for I wasn't tailing a man. I was treading a route I had charted of my own accord. 
I tasted freedom as I walked alone aimlessly around public spaces after sunset. I tasted freedom when I stayed out of my home without watching the clock. I relished the moment in a cinema hall when a fellow moviegoer asked me, in bewilderment, if I had (really) come to watch a movie all by myself. 
Two years of living it up in solitude in a society that only caters to family audiences. I have absolutely no regrets. 
I am the woman who doesn't flinch from asking for a table for one. I am akeli, awaara and azaad.

Thank you for this, Blank Noise!

#AkeliAwaaraAzaad @priyam6 says “Apni sharton pe jeena - Apne liye jeena!” 💪
...
Akeli Awaara Azaad to me are not just three words or just a Movement, a Revolution, a Phenomenalon ... but for me its a ‘Way of Life’ that everyone must recognise! There is no other way I would want to live! For me its a great message to send out to all the girl folks - that dude you are complete on your own and your choices matter! 
As a participant who is attached to this movement I will try my best to share with the girls I meet at home, at work, social settings, friends -of -friends -of -friends parties, holidays or wherever I go that we are capable of being on our own. Period.
. 
We have the right to live this life on our own terms - without any if’s or buts! . 
No-one is or should be responsible for us as we got our shit together and in most cases better! . 
Its OK to try anything and everything and decide for yourself if it’s for you or not, rather than being told “ladkiya ye kaam nahi karti/ yaha nahi jati/ ye nahi pehenti”. . 
Stop being told what to do or not to do!
. 
If I have to summarise in just one line, it will truly be - “Apni sharton pe jeena - Apne liye jeena!”

• Akeli: solo, single, alone • Awaara: rogue, vagabond, tramp • Azaad: free, liberated, footloose
______________________________
The secret of this world is that it is made up of words. While many times they free us, society has used words and labels to control women and girls, stifle us, contain us and limit us - make us afraid of the very things that liberate us, to shrink our concept of self, and shame us. So here I am, owning all the labels the world can give, and here is me giving back your other ammunition with it, I now wear them as my badges of honour. Your words don’t scare me. Hear me loud, hear me clear. Haan main akeli, aur main awaara bhi. Haan main loose, badtameez, badmizaaz, lafangi bhi. Haan main sutteybaaz, daarubaaz, besharam aur behaya bhi. Main kameeni bhi, nautanki bhi,  beizzat, aur gunahgaar bhi. Karamjali, behuda, chudhail, nirlaj aur kalmoohi bhi. Aur toh aur, main azaad aur khush bhi.
