What does it mean to be a woman in pain? To be dying and still be judged for your choices?

This personal essay is about survival, stigma, and the cruel absurdities of how women’s bodies are seen and treated.

But it is also about the quiet strength of friends who carry you through tough times, and the violence of a system that cares more about your marital status than saving your life...

'I Was Dying & They Asked If I Was Married' is not an easy read, but it’s an unforgettable one.

Read it, sit with it, share it, because stories like this must be heard.

Reading the Quran with Amma By My Side by

Laraib is an independent journalist committed to telling stories that spark dialogue and inspire change. Her work explores the intersections of environment, agriculture, rural India, culture, and identity.

In her own words, what makes her a blahcksheep: "I’ve always gravitated toward the quieter, complicated truths—stories that rarely make it into mainstream narratives. As the first journalist in a family that valued stability, I chose uncertainty, fieldwork, and voice over silence. Questioning norms and embracing vulnerability has been my quiet act of defiance."

“I want you to come to the mist-laced hills of Pakyong with me.

Here, every ritual is a thread back to the stories, customs, and kin that once shaped my grandmother’s world.

I want you to notice the everyday life in these frames.
The hills.
The people.
The rituals.
The quiet continuity.

The ways we mourn,
and love,
and remember,
and go on.

I want you to
sit with the mourners.
hear the chants.
feel the rain.
taste the pomelo.

and in the act of looking,
remember what it means to belong,"

writes Lungmying Lepcha, an 18 year old writer and reader from East Sikkim.
