She is late, even today. She runs briskly towards the jam-packed bridge at the railway station, her hair flying but eyes fixated on the indicator. And then it comes, out of nowhere, like a bolt from the blue. He pinches her where it hurt her the most: her esteem.
He pinches her swiftly, without remorse and tries to disappear among the sea of people on that over crowded bridge. She is numb at first, stung with his touch. Her mind tells her to go ahead meekly, ignoring what has happened while a voice from inside of her persistently screams , “Go, get that b****rd!”
Something snaps inside her. She turns around and runs trying to recognise him, as he hides among the masses. She sees his hands; big and broad, trying to locate another hapless victim. She taps him softly on his shoulder. He turns around, unaware. And then, thunder strikes. She slaps him without any inhibition, she slaps him without any intimation. She slaps him and the time stops. His hand rushes to his cheeks, his face flushed with embarrassment. She is shaking all over, with anger and relief. She is Mardaani. It is time to take a stand, raise a voice and swim against the tide. It is time to make this cause personal.

Mushy things happen only in the movies, but in real life things are very different. I know a ‘MARDAANI’ who didn’t want to be defined by the child she couldn’t birth… Read here to know more about her.

Well for me my mardani is my mom she us most toughest lady I have ever seen since we are 4 daughter my parents brought up all of us very nicely open minded and given us freedom to choose path but our life turned left n right when my dad got brain hamrage and paralysed but my mom never drop a single tear from eyes she showed us that if we think positive if we have believe in ourself we can come out of any problem, financially she said she will don’t ask help and never asked also and emotionally she said if a lady is strong in family no one can touch in bad ways to her family. 7 years she took great care of my dad settled down her all daughters and my dad left us after 7 years and after he left she is so strong she didn’t shattered started her small home venture , learned how to be active on social sites and now she is what she wants … Love you mummy n wish to b your daughter always !!!
