Sudha Nambudiri, I can't express enough gratitude for the continuous support you've provided, allowing us to express what truly matters. Speaking with even more conviction now, because I firmly believe that #Lived_Experiences_Matter. 😊 A few days back, someone well-intentioned (or so I'd like to believe) asked me if I'd ever tire of challenging the system and whether I enjoyed finding faults. This question was accompanied by a smirk, seemingly expecting me to engage in a heated debate. But over time, I've learned to choose my battles wisely, and here's my response: 😃😃 First, it's not about fighting; it's about standing up and speaking out for what we've all committed to—#Justice #Liberty #Equality #Fraternity. Can you honestly tell me that you won't stand for these principles? Second, I don't enjoy witnessing injustice, and when I do, I feel compelled to raise my voice. So, if you're asking me to be silent in the face of injustice, does that mean you're comfortable with it? While I too appreciate sharing positive quotes, it seems there's a growing trend of silencing those who speak out by labeling them as "negative." I choose to speak out because I see the potential for positive change through collective efforts. Filing a case and seeking assistance from the pillars of our democracy—legislature, executive, judiciary, and the press—is not impolite or rude. So, please don't advise me to be kind. As for the saying, "Say nothing if you have nothing good to say," it often masks the flaws in our surroundings. Calling out hypocrisy is a step toward positive change! 😉 P.S. The quotes in the article aren't my exact words, and I do not endorse the use of the term 'normal.' The journalist also disclaims any endorsement and uses the term only to indicate "a child not needing any special accommodations." 😊🙌
