BE A HERO............

Women's day is just around the corner and the Hyderabad for Change' facebook page and community initiative would like to take this opportunity of showing Hyderabad's women that we menfolk do indeed care for them and share their safety and security related concerns........


Who is a hero, one who gallivants in the rain with his lady love, bashes up twenty goons single handedly or then a man who is undemonstrative yet caring, deeply perturbed by the increasing instances of crimes against women yet unobtrusively doing his bit to make a lasting and telling difference, each one of you needs to make up his mind in this regard.......

One doesn't need weapons of mass destruction and the latest gadgets on the block in order to be a hero, but just the courage of conviction to take a stance on a particular issue and stand by the very same come what may; you just need to listen to your heart's voice and find your inner calling.........

My heroes, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Shaheed Bhagat Singh, Mohinder Amarnath and Shri Anna Hazare to name just a few did not possess adonis like physiques, rippling muscles, weapons and gadgets, but have still left indelible impressions on the sands of time with their inherent courage, sheer determination and ability to remain steadfast in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds......

Be a hero, take up cudgels on the behalf of our long suffering womenfolk, usher in a sense of perestroika and glasnost about their safety and security, raise your voice against any and every wrongdoing and make sure that you are not the problem but an integral part of a lasting solution to a long standing problem.......

Share your stories of bravery and valour with us, narrate instances of your taking up cudgels on behalf of your mothers, sisters, female friends, compatriots and colleagues, we in turn will share the same around on any and every platform and avenue available to us and make sure that these stories and profiles in courage emerge as a starting point and inspiration for others to follow in their wake.......

Let's once and for all put paid to this widely held perception about men being the perpetrators of injustice against the fairer sex and usher in a Rennaisance in both our collective thinking and actions as well..........
