Navratri marks the beginning of the further festive season in the Indian culture. School, college and office goers gets so much happy as they get many holidays on every festive season.

Navratri is a special festive season according to the Indian culture, as this is the festive time we worship all the female deities in different forms came from various powers of Goddess Parvati, Durga and Mahalakshmi.  

But we Indians should not only stop with this worship by just worshipping goddess, but also learn to respect all other women and should take a vow to protect women at their hard times. Every Navratri season the regular meme and trolls come out and those picture really conveys a strong message and point outs the all-time big mistake that our men did not realize.  

So with this post I just wanted to convey a small message that, ‘every men should realize how we are making this society uncomfortable for women’. Also I’m not blaming anyone for this bad name we made for ourselves but just to safeguard women in this country. Blaming will just add on for further argument without any true base. But individual responsibility can bring out a drastic change in our lives.

A big apologies for making this post a bit boring. But the fact is truth is always a bitter one. Another apology for sharing the deities and worshipping details very lately.
