Does any other woman feel tired ? Tired of even reacting, tired of getting angry, tired of feeling helpless, tired of demanding justice, tired of protesting, tired of expecting justice, tired of the empty words. She knows nothing will change. The cycle just repeats. Just tired.

Unpopular opinion: Not all join Armed forces or CAPF with sole purpose to serve the nation. Many join army because it provides a secure job more importantly lifetime security to family. It's holds true for non-commissioned ranks. Poverty and compulsion is one of the reasons.

The Pakistani blasphemy killing is unconditionally condemnable. However, these TV anchors who are angry today did not show even 1% of this outrage when 3 Muslims were killed in Chhattisgarh. Aren't beef lynchings also blasphemy killings, since cows are sacred for the majority?

Hope people realise many crimes against women are not even reported because of the society we live in.

@ManMarkJorginho It's not exactly like any other job. The life risk is real high. Not everyone can endure the hardship. But yes every profession deserves respect.
