Aahana Kumra Writes An Open Letter To India – An Asexual Nation - MissMalini

It is a topic that makes for impolite dinner table conversation but yet so saucy
when spoken with friends. It brings about an awkward silence amongst family
members who are out for a movie night at a multiplex when enacted on the screen
by actors but evokes desire when watched alone on smartphones in middle of the
night. While cultures have frowned upon its presence; they have still celebrated
it in monuments, art, writings, songs and acknowledge that it is the very
foundation of society’s survi

Just a few weeks ago, Bishop Franco Mulakkal was accused of raping a 44-year-old
nun and this is all the more reason for each one of us to say #ItEndsWithMe
[/video/itendswithme/]. Time and time again we hear of these bone-chilling
atrocities, and it saddens our hearts each time we report them.

The Bishop had been continually raping the nun for 2 years between 2014-2016,
and only in June did she file a complaint alleging that she was sexually
assaulted by him multiple times in the Kuravilangad

Each time we read about suicide in the newspaper, or hear about it on TV or even
see an Instagram post related to the topic, we immediately think of how much
that person needs to get help. And while that is every human’s natural response,
I think it’s time we shift our perspective a little bit. It’s time we take on
the responsibility to care for our friends in ways that we might think are small
but make a huge difference to their well being.

Where's The Line Between Self Love And Self Improvement? | MissMalini

Conforming to stereotypes is not the same as self-care in my opinion and this why.

Where’s The Line Between Self Love And Self Improvement? - MissMalini

Standing in front of the mirror, I am always hit with the same dilemma:
self-love or self-improvement?
Firstly, when did self-love become an opponent of self-improvement? Secondly,
how often do people slip into self-destruction in the name of self-improvement?
Our senses are constantly fed with beauty standards through various forms of
media—posters, magazine covers, social networking sites, commercials. I think we
all are aware that most of these standards are an illusion created with the help


How My Life Changed Growing Up In A Male-Skewed Classroom | MissMalini

I grew up in a classroom full of boys and unknowningly used it to my advantage and learned some of life's greatest lessons.

How My Life Changed Growing Up In A Male-Skewed Classroom - MissMalini

I think we’ll all agree that 80% of the classrooms in India are skewed towards
the male gender. And growing up in those very classrooms, as a female helped me
discover a side of myself I didn’t know existed. I grew up in Dehradun, a small
but mighty city in Uttarakhand. While there was no lack of female companionship
in my batch, a part of me always vibed better with the boys in my class.

You Are A Boy, Don't Cry Like Girls | MissMalini

In the name of equality, we consider men to be strong and women as weaker beings. I feel like the way men are perceived should be changed.

You Are A Boy, Don’t Cry Like Girls - MissMalini

We hear a lot of people around us talking about equality and uplifting women.
 The question is whether we are doing every possible thing to empower women? And
if we are, then why is it not working? In my opinion, there is a gap that we
know of, but don’t do enough about. The gap is– how we treat men in our society.
That has a big impact on achieving equality, and it’s sad that we largely ignore
that.
