A Husband's Words of Support for Emerging Leader Kabita Upadhyay

Dear Michele,

My privilege to receive your email. I am also thankful to you for your kind concern about missing Kabita for a few days. As it is said, "to get something you have to lose something" but in our case we would be gaining from both ends. Firstly, she is not going there for fun but to acquire some knowledge and wisdom that shall help her in her endeavor to create a just and equitable society where people are not discriminated against on the basis of colour, gender or geographical region. Secondly, since we are married for the last 18 years and separation of few days will regenerate love and   Kabita
desperations that could have been depreciated by being together for such a long time. In fact we are indebted for your kind support to provide an opportunity to women of this country who are desperate to come out of the four corners of their house to bring substantial change in a patriarchal society, whose so called social norms and values are great barriers in overall prosperity of men themselves which they are ignorant due to lack of exposure and deficiency of simple knowledge that one cannot travel fast and far by a bicycle whose one tire is punctured.

My apology for writing little longer but I could not stop myself from taking this opportunity to extend my heartfelt thanks to you for your effort for betterment of life of all those who exist now and for all those who has yet to come in this wonderful world.

Sincerely Yours,

Paras
