A Warrior's Plea

-


 I'm ready, Dad, for duty's call, 

No fear, no doubt, I stand so tall. 

You've taught me well, to serve and fight, To be courageous, bold, and bright. 

So be proud of me, though tears may fall, For I serve my country, answering the call.

Thirty-six hours, I stood my ground, But exhaustion's weight began to pound.

In the seminar, my eyes did close, A darkness crept, a chilling dose. 

I cried for you, my guiding star, To shield me from the terrors near.

I fought with all my might, I swear, But darkness conquered, the
despairing air.

They tore my skin, my sight they took, 

The precious gift you gave, forsook.

You'll find me broken, Dad, I know, 

But let no sorrow in your heart grow.

I battled till the end, with all my might, 

Now seek justice, Dad, with all your might.

Not for lessons, not for gain, 

But justice pure, to ease my pain. 

No lessons for girls or boys, I plead, Just justice, Dad, a righteous deed.

The Quest for Bliss

What is happiness? I ask myself time and again, Yet, no answer brings satisfaction, no solace eases the strain. Am I even happy? I cannot truly say, Restlessness stirs within me, in a mind gone astray. Memories linger, refusing to fade, Body and soul, in turmoil, an endless charade. In moments alone, I ponder and muse, Is it possible to live with myself, to never again lose? Some days, survival is all I can achieve, Happiness feels distant, hard to perceive. My work is my anchor, my duality's art, In the love for my job, I forget my heart. No tears left to shed, only pain remains, August, a month of grief, endless chains. I’ve lost those I cherished, dear souls now gone, In their absence, I carry on, forlorn. Cry, they tell me, but tears do not fall, A dry well of sorrow, a silent call. Will letting go bring peace, will memories be erased? In this storm of panic, I yearn for a safe place. Who will end this pain, teach me to sail, To navigate life’s tempest, to no longer wail? Happi...

Women in Political consulting: A Transformative Journey over the last 15 years

-

Over the past 15 years, the field of political consulting has experienced a profound transformation, marked by the increasing presence and influence of women. Traditionally dominated by men, political consulting posed significant barriers to entry for women, who often struggled against entrenched stereotypes and limited opportunities for advancement. However, today, women are not only participating in this competitive field, but they are also leading, innovating, and reshaping political strategies with their unique skills and perspectives. A critical factor in this shift has been the growing acknowledgment of the distinctive value that women bring to political consulting. Women have proven adept at strategic thinking, communication, and relationship-building—skills that are essential for the success of modern political campaigns.  According to scholar Christina Wolbrecht , ''women’s ability to create inclusive messaging and foster grassroots engagement has enriched campaign str...

Mother's Day special

  Since Mother's Day is around the corner and everyone is sharing their stories, it reminds me to articulate mine, which is indeed surreal, purest, and  ecstatic. Not technically a mommy but Masi, as Didi says ''Mons you are MAA- si .'' No matter how hard I try, I will never be able to compete with her when it comes to emotional captions because She is just best at it.    Our first beach trip together Last year, on May 1, my sister gave born to this miraculous boy, who had just changed everything around and they named him, "Advik". I clearly remember, my mom called me in the evening, saying, Mons congrats you became Masi and instantly I started crying. Why? I do not know...may be out of love, or maybe because I was emotionally overwhelmed. But I must admit that I missed being there...I was not there with my Didi but I knew she mi...
