I See a Monster : Purva

Having stared at my watch for about a minute, i decided to shift my focus to see how many other participants wore one, something that caught my eyes instead, was the goosebumps on my neighbour’s hands; my eyes automatically shifted to her face, twisted in a painful way.

To satisfy my curiosity, I followed her to the screen, near the stage. There it was, the cause of her immense pain, which I too, was about to feel. The stories about acid attack survivors, Chanchal and Sonam. At that very moment my conscious refused to accept the brutality of the incident and as Alok went on about the other cases, my heart sank deeper, a voice in my head screamed, "And you worried about a bad-hair-day!."

My head sank down in shame.

Later, I gathered the stories about the rest of the victims from the Stop Acid Attacks website, and with each victim, my frustration grew deeper. "At first, it feels like an icy splash, and then the burning starts," were the words that refused to leave my mind.

Some wise man has rightly said ,"Once obsession poisons a mind, it renders it useless". My imagination ran wild tracing the day they became victim of a heinous act of rage.  I found my self standing beside the victims trying to figure out their reactions, how they would have started their day with a grin on their faces, not having a slight hint of what awaited them.

As they reached the respective spots of the crime, my panic increased, I wanted to warn them about the hostility on the attacker’s face, pull them away just before the burning liquid charred their skin and organs. But, it was past; the acid had done the damage, they had screamed for help while their attackers smiled like a devil. Their eyes were burning, eyelids were gone, face melted away and voices- they faded in agony.

Many a beautiful dream and aspirations were washed off with the splash of that merciless act of rage. Warm tears making their way through my cheeks reassured the safety of my present and the realisation struck me hard.

We live in a world where a 70-year-old gets mad at a girl of 15 for refusing to marry him or a guy believes that by messing a girl’s life, he might win her over. Here, the old evils of dowry and greed survive stronger than ever in the support of lust and inhumanity. Justice is a crooked concept which revolves around the pains of the one in need of it.

There are millions of girls like me, who could not smile for days after learning about this cause, that ensures a risk free life to victims fighting acid attacks, which seems like a boon to them.

To all I appeal, let us try to take this cause to the ones who are not as fortunate as us, but only stronger, braver and more spirited than all of us.


"Only if her face could tell her story I thought and there it was — the conclusion to my suffering — I should burn her face. Yes, why not? Who would she invite in her house once that happens? Then i would see if she dares push away true love."

    - Phải nghĩ biện pháp tránh ra ngoài mới được.

    trung tâm ngoại ngữên Tháp thì Tiên Ma giới cũng không phải là Hoàng Tiêu nói không chừng cực sắc đạo nhân có biện pháp đối phó với mình.

    Lúc này hai nữ tử ma đạo dễ thương kia lộ ra một vẻ mặt uể oải, Đại Song đánh giá xung quanh, trong lòng kích động không thôi, mà lúc này Xích Ngạo Tuyết vẫn nhắm hai mắt lại, không biết có phải âm thầm điều tức hay không.

    Thời gian từ từ trôi qua, đại khái là một ngày, lúc này cực sắc đạo nhân cuối cùng cũng mở hai mắt ra, trên khuôn mặt bắt đầu khôi phục không ít.

    - Khặc khặc, không tệ, nữ tử này thật là hiếm thấy, tuy nhiên hiện tại cũng chỉ là một món đồ chơi trong tay của ta.

    Cực sắc đạo nhân cười to, ánh mắt quét qua tam nữ.
