“things were still horrific. The catcalls were constant, the glares and heckles never ceasing every time I so much as wore lipstick. Getting dressed and leaving my house, facing the scorn of strangers and the constant threat of physical violence, became an act of superhuman courage.

I pretended not to hear them through my headphones.”
― Jacob Tobia

“I bend arrows into ornaments,
heckles only tickle my soul.
I turn junk into jewel,
I reclaim the fakes as fuel.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Iftar-e Insaniyat: The First Supper
