It's almost tiring to always have a filter ON. Honesty is so peaceful for our heart and soul, but the world that we live in doesn't always allow us to be candid and frank or even truthful to ourselves and others. So here is a poetry confessing that how we all have a brave face ON while we try to hide our fears and insecurities behind it. I also wish we all were more open to our desires, our dreams, and could share what we actually feel, without hurting anyone. Let me know how did you like the poetry. And would you like to add something to it. Then please share it in comments! ------------------------------- INSTAGRAM : @battokibakwaas https://www.instagram.com/battokibakwaas FACEBOOK : @BattoKiBakwaas https://www.facebook.com/BattoKiBakwaas​​ TWITTER : @BattoKiBakwaas https://twitter.com/BattoKiBakwaas​​ LINKEDIN : Anamika Joshi https://www.linkedin.com/in/anamikajoshi/ WEBSITE: https://www.battokibakwaas.com/​​ About : BattoKiBakwaas by Anamika Joshi is one of the unconventional hindi poetry channels in India.

Iss par likhna zaroori tha. Bahut dinon se andar hi andar ghumad rahe iss topic ko aap tak lekar aayi hun. Apne vichaar neeche comments mein zaroor likhein. Respect your partner. Love can wait. Many of us have little or no clue about what Marital rape is and how deep rooted this issue is in our Indian Society. The more you realise what we make Indian women go through in the hands of the men whom they wish to trust the most, more horrifying stories start surfacing. Let’s start talking. Let’s take a stand. Let’s ensure consensual sex. --------- INSTAGRAM : @battokibakwaas https://www.instagram.com/battokibakwaas​ FACEBOOK : @BattoKiBakwaas https://www.facebook.com/BattoKiBakwaas​ TWITTER : @BattoKiBakwaas https://twitter.com/BattoKiBakwaas​ LINKEDIN : Anamika Joshi https://www.linkedin.com/in/anamikajo​...

It took me years of courage to write on this topic… it was as if I had no idea where to start from, how to put things going in my mind into words… and so I started writing from this very thought. And as I was expecting words kept flowing… It’s been years of experiencing, listening to, and hearing about various incidences of sexual assault, harassment, and abuse that I feel like, almost nothing has changed. But yes, I have met people who are more open to listening, sharing their personal stories, understanding the perspective of the other gender and being more sensitive to things that hurt us collectively as a society… So this piece/poem or whatever you want to call it, is for those who are open to give it a listen… who perhaps will take something away from it and apply it in their everyday lives… This is dedicated to them and to us…. -------------------------------- INSTAGRAM : @battokibakwaas https://www.instagram.com/battokibakwaas FACEBOOK : @BattoKiBakwaas https://www.facebook.com/BattoKiBakwaas TWITTER : @BattoKiBakwaas https://twitter.com/BattoKiBakwaas LINKEDIN : Anamika Joshi https://www.linkedin.com/in/anamikajo...

For the past few days, I have been juggling with so many thoughts and perspectives… that it’s almost difficult to keep calm… I have been questioning myself a lot, and also giving answers to them, all by myself. I keep wondering that whether what I do is what I want to do, or what I am expected to do. It’s exhausting to always know the right things to do. Sometimes, being able to just be yourself and be the wrong person, for all the wrong reasons keeps you sane. And so this piece for all those who question themselves a lot, who worry about things which they think they should worry about… who keep giving answers to themselves because no one else understands what you are going through… this is for you. Just live for today. And take it easy.

Kabhi kabhi seedhi saral baat kehni zaroori ho jaati hai... jab log poochte hain ki inspiration kahan se aati hai, ya phir sochte hain ki hamare paas wo jagah hi nahi hai ki hum baithkar kuch achha likh sakein, toh ye bolna aur zyada zaroori ho jaata hai. aapko kya lagta hai ki likhne ke liye kya zaroori hai? aapke man ki baat comments mein zaroor share karein. Aur ye bhi bataein ki aisi choti choti poems aapko kaisi lagti hai? PS: Beete kuch dinon #Covid ke chalte tabiyat theek nahi thi... ab dheere dheere zindagi patri par aa rahi hai. Aap sabki tahe dil se shukraguzaar hun ki aap saath bane rahe aur apni pyaari pyaari wishes mujh tak pahuchaate rahe... Ye poem maine mahine bhar pehle shoot ki thi, par share nahi kar paayi thi. Aaj aap tak laakar bahut achha lag raha hai... aisa lag raha hai maani dobara aapse jud rahi hun. ---------------- INSTAGRAM : @battokibakwaas https://www.instagram.com/battokibakwaas FACEBOOK : @BattoKiBakwaas https://www.facebook.com/BattoKiBakwaas TWITTER : @BattoKiBakwaas https://twitter.com/BattoKiBakwaas LINKEDIN : Anamika Joshi https://www.linkedin.com/in/anamikajo...
