NICKNAMES 

Selfish, rude, heartless, cold there were more to the list, and all these names explained her well. People say softness defines women, but, dismally, she never believed in those crooked theories articulated by some sycophantic herds ages ago, and she got honoured with those nicknames mentioned above for the same. Exasperation towards the 'cup of tea' emoji started accumulating within her, which gradually transformed into pity towards a dull-witted supporter community who got cemented in the Palaeolithic era, where humans had to hunt for survival. An entire society endeavoured to impose gender roles, but nope, the rebel inside her protected the girl from getting dissolved into the stupid blend formulated by the society. She got to find the fact that someone should raise their voice and say ‘The king is naked’ to stop these toxic beliefs, and she’s more than ready to embrace new nicknames for that. The world should change.
