A Pandemic Teen….

“I don't think pandemics make us afraid of death, I think they make us afraid of oblivion.”

              -John green

As said above, the pandemic has given all of us new perspectives and challenges in life that we never knew we would face. 

 If two years ago I would have asked any of you the question, would you stay at your house for three months straight without having the luxury to step out whenever you please and to do simple things like eating at a restaurant or as in my case go to school? I am pretty sure most of you would have said no. I remember my reaction when the lockdown was announced last year in march, how scared and confused I felt, just like so many people out there. I remember rushing to the grocery store with my father near me and buying as many things I could get, thinking I may not get them later. Wondering how online school is going to look like and what am I going to do at home for 2 months. But here we are 2 years later living in a reality that is strange yet normal to us. Where hearing millions of people around us are dying seems normal yet affecting so much of us at the same time. Passing school while sitting at home or giving online exams seems normal to us. Where many students like me have forgotten things like going to school and giving exams on paper. Hi everyone, I am Saanvi Awasthi and I am just a 15-year-old who is trying to live life like a normal teenager or trying to understand what’s it like being a normal teenager in today’s strange time where social media plays an important role in everything we do. I have no experience in life and want to be someone in the world someday. This blog is my take on life as a fifteen-year-old who doesn’t know what the future world looks like but is trying to speak about social causes, politics and some typical  teen issues . Issues that matter to me as an individual. I am going to give my perspective as a Gen–Z in today's strange world. In conclusion, I want to say is that I am just a teenager with not much experience but am trying my best to understand these complex issues and give you the viewpoint from a 15-year-olds perspective like me in a world where the future is unknown.

NEW MARRIAGE LAW: A GOOD FIX OR A QUICK FIX

NEW MARRIAGE LAW: A GOOD FIX OR A QUICK FIX   What Is The New Marriage Law?  The Prohibition of Child Marriage (Amendment) Bill, 2021, which seeks to raise the age of legal marriage for women from 18 to 21, will apply to all communities in the country and, once enacted, will supersede existing marriage and personal laws. The bill containing six sections was introduced in the Lok Sabha by Union Minister for Women & Child Development, Smriti Irani. With this, it aims to provide a uniform age of marriage across religions, irrespective of any law, custom, or practice. Introduced as a move to aid “women progress on all fronts including their physical, mental and reproductive health”, the debate around the bill has since been tied in knots, with questions being raised on whether it holds the potential to empower women or is just a quick fix to a multilayered problem.  History Of The Marriage Law In India  The legal age to marry in India has increased over the years but has consistently

The misogynistic Indian Society

    The misogynistic Indian society  The society that we have today according to me is divided into 2 different groups of women. The women with privilege and women without it. The women with privilege come from urban cities meanwhile women without it comes from rural India and small-town India And today I wanna talk about women without privilege who every day of their lives live in a world that is full of patriarchy and misogyny. A world where basic rights like education are taken away and all they are made to be is someone who is to be married off and produce kids. No one even grants them the right to say no. For them, consent is a privilege that they can't have.  A privilege is something everybody should be given but unfortunately, it's not the case for them. They have to everyday live life like a caged bird in their home and if they try to fly away their wings are cut down. An example of this is a woman who was recently killed in UP because she refused to wear Indian attire
