Dear Dad,
There is a lot to tell you..as I grew up I found a lot of difference between the world that you made me see and the world that I saw..you always treated me like a princess..always fulfilled all my dreams..u never said no to anything that was good for me.
You made me to be what I am. You taught me to stand uniquely in a crowd. But there are few things that you never taught me.You never told me that you will be the only guy who will always try to protect me ..who will never try to judge me.You never told me that people will love me for my looks but not for my soul.You never told me that there is a harsh world out there who have set a lot of limitations for girls and any girl who will cross that limit will either be harassed or will be called by some vulgar names such as whore and prostitute.
Dad you always said that I should respect people for their work ..for their soul..for their behavior towards others..but you never told me that no one will respect me for who I am .You never told me that if a girl goes out with a boy then she is considered as a prostitute n if she does not then she is a behanji..You always told me to be helpful even to those who hate me ...but you never told me that they will not b the way you want me to be.
You taught me morals ..u taught me to be polite ..but you never taught me that how to behave like a girl..the limitations of being a girl in this male dominating society.You never told me that the society does not want a moralistic girl ,all they want is a girl who knows how to be in her limits.You never told me that the society will never consider me as a human but will consider me as a piece of insult.
So,tell me dad now when I am encountering this new and evil world a world where people are questioning me,making fun of me,saying vulgar things to me ...am I suppose to blame you? I should blame you because you were the one who kept the real side of this world hidden from me.
But you know what I will never blame you ..you did this because you wanted to protect me ..you wanted me to have faith that nt all humans are same ..you wanted me to learn that there are a lot who protect and respect women without having any relation with them.I want to thank you for always making me feel safe that there is at least one man who is not like this society ...at least one man who believes in me ..at least one man who wants me to fly and touch new heights of the sky.
Dad you know what whenever I encounter a creepy human who thinks that girls are shit I start loving you more because down in my heart I know that there is one man who is ready to stand for me against the crowd .
With love,
Your shadow.
