A lot has been said about Kolkata rape and murder case in different platforms.
While most of them are right in their opinion, I don't think people have focussed enough on what a common Indian parent goes through when he hears such news.
Being father of 2 little girls, I had not been able to sleep or work in peace ever since I heard about the news.
I must have brutally killed the culprits a thousand times in my mind. Must have signed every damn petition on the case, spread every social media message and cursed the law and order a million times. But I know I can't do more than that, and that bothers me.
The fact that you and I are helpless, disturbs me even more.
I am scared. As a father, as a husband and as a brother. Something in me keeps searching for the solution to these problems.
Few days back,I advised my worried wife to stop looking at news channels and media. But somewhere I knew that it's not the solution. I know she wanted to talk about it. But I can't. Talking about it worries me more and I can't pretend to be strong any more.
My dream for a safer world for my kids is fading away and I cannot stop it, no matter how hard I try.
