I’ve been asked the same question a lot of times but in different forms: Q. Why are you building Girl in Tech? Q. Why are you building a community specifically for girls? Q. Why are you giving so much time to girls in tech? My friends sometimes mocke...

Manik bhai, I'm crying. Virtual hugs. Seeing the way you handle women, I always felt like you were a 'man written by woman'. I just wanna tell you I'm so so so proud of you. You're literally the bravest person to be this vulnerable. My heart goes out to your mom and sister

Punya, this is one of the sweetest comments that I got. Thanks for giving your heart to my mom and sister :) and for reading it till the end.

Now, I kinda loved the line "man written by woman" and found it really deep. I am curious to know the deep meaning behind it. Wanna shed some light on it.

I'm also proud of you for many things. You are special Punya, so as every other person in this world. So don't ever think that you are not special and don't be sad for little things.

There is beauty in everything and I find it even in your comment as well. And especially that line that you've written. You write amazingly beautiful and I loved it.

I'm Glad that you found me. And same as I found that brave girl inside you. Let her shine and win the world.

Manik 'Men written by women' are the kind of men who have seen a women's struggle of living in a country like India closely. That's why, when a woman talks about her struggle, he doesn't feel the need to compare their struggles. He knows and acknowledges the privilege of being a man in this country. And I think that suits you perfectly. This country needs more men like you! You go, man!

Wow, could not have imagined how deep the cause went, Manik. Thank you for being so compassionate and observant where most people don't even begin to acknowledge why we need girls only communities. So proud to be part of this, thank you for all your efforts!

Yeah ishita, it's the cause that make me to start it on the first place. And it doesn't stop until it'll achieve its goal.

But the goal can't be achieved by me alone. So I'm grateful to have you and all other volunteers with us who can make this happen and this way we can help girls all across India.

I have seen many people working for money, but when we work for the cause then the satisfaction of helping others is enough to bring you peace and the thought of making others smile by our contributions is something that can't be achieved by money. You are all a part of this big thing. Thanks for your support Throughout the journey.

Your comment would be the most special one as this is the first comment that I got on hashnode in my first article. Thanks for your sweet and encouraging words ❤
