Glitter and glamour
Music and lights

Tomorrow promises
many delights

The year of PINK
Women celebrate

Change will finally

He will again

Never miss real stories from India's women.

is not in vain

Feminism
is an ocean

Destroying patriarchy
through erosion

No single fight
makes a visible dent

But over time
progress is evident
