They have come out from behind the curtains or from the secret corners in their kitchens. Several organizations have evolved protecting the safety and security of women. In my country , I am just a woman . I am a woman and I live in India . I am a student who is looking beyond the boundaries. I am a person to whom India looks upto for its growth. Yet , unfortunately, I do not feel safe in the Indian nights. why ? Because the air is dark.  There is sense of ferociousness in the wind . There is a shine of ferociousness within those eyes. I need to cover myself while walking down the lanes of my country in the night. I am scared of those eyes which invades my clothes forcibly . I am afraid of those smile unwelcoming my presence through the dark lanes of my country. I am worried of the names that I do not wish to be called at all . ...
