I am a cynical person, and I have no qualms in admitting it.
So, when I saw the #metoo posts all over Facebook, I knew this was going to be just another hashtag.
Yes, we have all undergone harassment at some point in time in life. In a bus, in crowded Dadar station, by chalu uncles who hug you under some random pretext.
We all went through it, and we know it is wrong. But, how does the Me too hashtag help?
Are new laws going to be formed? Are people going to change? No, nothing will happen unless we change things at our level.
Yesterday, I wrote a status asking people to tell me how will this hashtag help?
This question posted on Facebook exposed me and my colleague who did not post a popular reply, to accusations of being insensitive. Someone even hinted at people like us having a crab mentality and pulling down others 'who are trying to spread awareness'.
With seething anger, I deleted the post and deactivated my FB account for an hour.
Then I remembered, as a citizen of this country, the constitution has bestowed me with the freedom to express.
I activated my account again. This time with the vow that I will express my views every time I feel like doing it. No one can bully me.
This was not the first time I faced accusations. I have been accused of being anti-modi, myopic, extremist, and god knows what not. My fault? I have contrarian views most of the time.
But, I will not stop. If you find a fault in my writing, give me data to prove I am wrong. I will accept my fault.
But, accusing someone of being insensitive or with crab mentality just because they do not prescribe to your views is unacceptable.
Have a healthy debate if you can!

Hello, I am Theresa Williams After being in relationship with Anderson for years, he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to my friend and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that never believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I mailed the spell caster, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4 pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem. email: drogunduspellcaster@gmail.com you can email him if you need his assistance in your relationship or any other Case.

I have also faced dilemmas when things don't go as I had intended. Freedom to express is always a double edged sword. So keep at it, but also with caution, is all :)
