The haunted road...

-

I remember the night when I and my cousins were returning from a resort.
It was a dark cold night and the fogs were blanketing the surroundings. Nothing could be seen there. Suddenly my brother stopped the car and said something was wrong. My heart was beating faster. We were all afraid and my little sister started crying. Just after a few minutes we saw a lady with a stick in her hand was walking towards our car. My brother got out of the car and tried to talk with her. He asked her name with a small voice she said that her name was Doris.
Doris said that the road on which we were traveling was called the haunted road and no one in the night used that road for traveling though it was a shortcut. Hearing this I quickly asked her why she was traveling here alone because it was already midnight
12 O’ clock. But she said nothing and helped to push the car. By that time she added that those who used this haunted road after sunset can never return back. Our heart missed a beat. Doris could feel our fear and therefore she advised us to leave that road immediately before it’s too late. And when my brother turned the car the lady disappeared. It was unbelievable. We all were safe that night today as I lay in my bed thinking about that horrible night, my heart asks me, was it a kind ghost or just an old lady?

We hear a lot of people talking about gender equalities or feminism. But i bet a lot of people still do not know what actually it means. People blindly support feminism thinking that it is something like anti-men kind of a thing. But it is not! Feminism is not about hating a man. It is being independent, it is living the life the way You want, it is the fact that women can also present themselves equal to men and it is also about raising your life's standard.  Okay coming to the question 'Are women really equal to men? Or is feminism successful in a country like India? My answer would be NO! We are still not treated as something people should respect. Some people might think what rubbish I am speaking but its true! Even today girls are being raped by their own family members, they are being raped by their own friends, they are being raped when they are alone in the streets, they are being raped by their own husband, they are being raped by their own brother, and t...
