I started work at an Urdu Channel called ‘Women’s TV’ while I was in Hyderebad.It was fresh and untilled territory and exciting for a while but the channel didn’t take off because of problems in broadcasting in the old city.

I would love to work on TV again.Is anyone out there listening!

sexual abuse a means of fighting/Being men in a man’s world

Comfortable women often use sex abuse as a means of getting rid of competition.It is a way of dehumanising, bestializing and othering their competition.

One is already weary of trying to work through patriarchal structures; to also have to deal with other women who you may have worked with and who think that you’re somehow in their way.( to be contd…)
