#akeliawaaraazaad @paimona πŸŒˆπŸ™ŒπŸ½πŸ™ŒπŸ½ ・・・ If there is a hard, high wall and an egg that breaks against it, no matter how right the wall or how wrong the egg, I will stand on the side of the egg. Why? Because each of us is an egg, a unique soul enclosed in a fragile egg. Each of us is confronting a high wall. The high wall is the system which forces us to do the things we would not ordinarily see fit to do as individuals . . . We are all human beings, individuals, fragile eggs. We have no hope against the wall: it's too high, too dark, too cold. To fight the wall, we must join our souls together for warmth, strength. We must not let the system control us -- create who we are. It is we who created the system - Murakami #pridebhopal2018 #prideparade #lgbtq+ #bhopal #transrightsarehumanrights T-shirt courtesy @blanknoiseactionheroes Picture credit @thephotumaker

Today’s relatively cheap thrills included a solo date where I chomped on a soft, freshly made aaloo wala bunkabab and gulped down two mugs full of chai. The weather was pleasant, the sunlight was refreshing and the light breeze felt perfect. β˜€οΈ I reminisced over honest friendships that brewed in this very spot. It was still very beautiful, nothing that I’d want to unremember. 🌿It’s been a while, I had forgotten how lovely solo dates used to feel. I also remembered how self-care is only for the rich, the privileged (*sigh*) but I will worry about it tomorrow. Today, I focus on all the good that life used to be. β˜•οΈβ€οΈ . . . . . . . #mentalhealth #depression #chai #bunkabab #greenery #plants #cosy #breezy #karachi #sunlight #dopamine #vitamind #selfcare #solotravel #solodate #solitude #friendship #outdoors #desigirl #brownwomen #akeliawaaraazaad #girlswhowrite #pakistan #unremember
Power on #AkeliAwaaraAzaad #ActionHero @thewayward_cloud πŸ™ŒπŸ½β€οΈ #Repost ・・・ There are many ways to fight rape culture/systemic gender-based violence. The external ways include activism, advocacy, making one's voice heard through social media spaces, aligning with feminist values for work and so on. : And then, there are internal/inner ways. How does one get impacted by the systems one grows up in? How do one's emotional, physical and mental and energetic bodies get shaped? How to understand the responsibility of one's trauma, one's pain, one's way of living, for it is, afterall, a matter of living to the fullest within this body? And upon this understanding, how to transfer that into external action? : I am thinking of @blanknoiseactionheroes who gifted me this incredible #actionheroine T-shirt just before I made my way to another set of hills to disappear into. It was due to @jasmeenpatheja, and her incredible #blanknoiseproject who, 10 years ago, gave me a platform to take my activism to the streets, parks and public spaces of Bangalore. The "Hot Hudgi" here T-shirt is a product of that exploration, a confrontational slogan I had designed for women to wear on the streets where they experience street sexual harassment. : And it is 10 years later, that I wear #blanknoiseproject's "Akeli, Awaara, Azaad" which in English, roughly translates for me into- "walking alone, walking wild, walking free." : As a trauma therapist, these words used to mean working hard to ensure we live in a world where sexual and gender-based violence is no longer an everyday/every hour reality. I chose a path that would help me contribute to that.But I also realize the importance of dropping the external for a while and only paying attention to the internal, to be able to walk alone, walk wild and walk free despite the games of the world. Only to strengthen, deepen and lessen the damage we do to the world with our "good intentions". :I wish that we find a type of inner work that allows us this deepening. It could be yoga, tai-chi, or simply living in a forest for a few months. It's not an easy approach to the problems of this world that we constantly mirror
