PEACE
Peace
At 11:33 pm, a girl walking down the street lanes, scrolling through her News Feed, happens to come across an article. It read '9 year old girl raped, culprit missing'. That struck her mind. The news had appeared following some ISIS attacks in Syria the other night. There were people fighting all around the globe on the name of religion. Farmers had split milk on the streets marking their protests against cheaper price rates. Doctors had been on hunger strike appealing for proper administration regarding medical colleges and their rules.
No community seemed to be in harmony. She was herself an intern, away from home, struggling to pay dues and a migraine patient, just recovering from a relationship heartbreak. 'Noone has a easier life', she could derive conclusions from all those examples.
It was all a state of mind perhaps, she concluded. 'May be it was like just trying to abort a topic from a mind and actually aborting it. Peace lies within self. Smile, let go, and get back to important stuffs' she tried masking her fake smile with a real one.
She switched off her mobile data. It was home. She had broken free from the mental obstacles. Only the concerned people needed to behave better, may be just like those boys who had stopped teasing girls, sitting on the street railings; courtesy a police case against them. And today she had reached home safely after being sprinkled with acid two years back.
'Mama, I am home', she shouted.
She connected to her wifi. Another news appeared 'Rapists to be punished with jail and/or death penalty'. She prayed it not to be another law waiting for its turn to be in one of the files.
