2014. We’re at the starting line yet again. Beginnings are beautiful, powerful and pure. We extend warm wishes to each one of you & your loved ones. We hope and pray that 2014 is a year full of love, courage and luck for one and all. 2013. It was a year that was ‘welcomed’ in the midst of screaming headlines of gang rape. We were shattered, experienced shock. We woke up, fought back. We cried, held hands. We protested, said prayers. We stood by each other. We realised it could have been ‘us’ instead of ‘her’. We found strength from Nirbhaya. Are we still there? Have things changed? Have we become more sensitive? Is there hope? Will justice be delivered? Will our mind sets change? Will we be able to fight this plague? Yes and no. We find answers to the many questions in this woman special edition.
