Confidence Quote by Shalini Maiti
“Be it two-wheelers following you on the road, stalkers pelting stones at your balcony in the middle of the night, or knocking at your door at 2 a.m. trying to psych you out, I have faced it all. The only thing that has helped me live through each of these incidents is the knowledge that fear will make me lose. I always remember that being a girl does not make me the weaker sex. Being able to live in a healthy society, alone as a girl, is your birthright, and when some men think they can toy with this right, you must keep calm and fight back! Having followed this mantra, each of these incidents has only made me stronger today! Fighting back has given me a new kind of confidence that lets me enjoy staying alone in a city more than ever!”
