There will come a time when we meet and our conversations will no longer be about violence, but about how peaceful and beautiful this world has become.

But when will that time come?

It will come when we educate and raise this generation to break the generational cycles of violence and abuse.

Is it important to speak about it?
Yes—now more than ever. And louder than before.

I have faced countless hurdles in my life. I have been silenced, told I was “too much,” asked to shrink myself to fit into what society calls normal. I tried putting myself in a box—but I couldn’t stay there.

I didn’t speak up for attention.
I spoke up so my son would know the difference between right and wrong.
I spoke up to break the cycle.
I spoke up so my peers would become aware.
I spoke up so people like me would know that it’s okay to not be okay—and that it is absolutely okay to speak out loud.

Let’s end this cycle.
Let’s stand together.
Let’s sign this petition.

Let’s end r**e and abuse—for a safer, kinder future. ❤️

Thank you for having me ❤️

Is it leather weather yet? 😅

Beating and braving the European Summer.☀️🇮🇹
The best feeling to take your kid to see places you saw as a child.

25 years later pretty much remember our 8th std classes with Ms Darasha as she fondly taught us the Roman Empire and all its marvel and grandeur and its rise and fall. But its impact on the current civilization remains profound. 🇮🇹💯

It’s devastating to see BIGOTS question me about humanity ? Where was yours when Palestine was being bombed for year? The problem is with you. I am standing for peace and human rights which you have and they don’t.

Reconnected with an old schoolmate today morning , across different times zones we were chatting about life and school and friends.

Deep into the conversation she said, “Juvs, I have to bring something to your attention. Even-though I live far away, I hear many common friends/associates talk about you that I feel is out of line (disrespectful). They make it sound like you aren’t ‘over’ your past struggles, and you have made it your “identity” -holding you back from moving forward (She mentioned with concern).

So, I told her that no one knew of my struggles, or anything about me, for 10 years (2005-2015); till I gave my first interview which went viral; I walked this arduous path alone quietly, with very few people by my side.

And/when I talk about my situation, it’s purely to highlight what abuse entails, to help bring about awareness to the general public on how systemic it is in our society, and to motivate and guide women experiencing it, with steps to end this/their toxic situation. I do this, so that families dont have to pass-down toxic traits; So that there are lesser and lesser victims of violence/abuse in our society.

We both found it so unfortunate that there are women talking(gossiping) about other women, rather than supporting, nurturing and guiding one another; especially during difficult times.

Shortly, after this call, I received another call from HR college asking me to Judge an event they have created around “My Identity” (experience) to bring about awareness on social dilemmas and stigmas attached/prevalent in our Indian Society. 🙏🏼


I didn’t spend endless hours in court during my 20’s for nothing.
I was fighting for my right and that of my fellow women.

And I would do it a 1000 times over my this little man of mine.
Be the change you want see. I become that.
Special thanks to I love you to eternity. and a whole list of friends and families you know who you are

Most relate able !
For all the times I was judged !
For all the times someone said .. but you have a kid.
For all the times , I was a ‘ hidden’ in hiding , scared , suppressed.
For all the times someone said - you are so intimidating.. people get scared.
So if you are intimidated you aren’t welcome in my circle.
When I speak - I speak because I am healed, I speak because I DO NOT live it. I speak because it’s helping not one but thousands of people around me.
I speak because it gives somebody hope that they are not alone.
I speak so it breaks the cycle
And I also speak so that my son knows that’s it’s always good to speak .
Don’t be sitting there and judging when you haven’t lived a moment.
Speak your truth . It’s the only way out. And the only way to peace.

Ramadhan Kareem to all!
It’s going to be a different Ramadhan this year. Something most of us who are privileged don’t realise how blessed we are. It’s time to look within us , which we should either ways! Life is so so uncertain , we have to consciously learn to forgive , have patience and give and give more and don’t forgot to love unconditionally. 🌙⭐️ May Allah help us in our endeavours and grant our Prayer!
