Middlemen.asia:Fight for justice

Ansu Shaw — Wed, 30 Jul 2025 20:07:30 +0000

Middlemen.asia is an organization that focuses on real issues often ignored in society. It speaks up for the common man, highlights unfair systems, and brings attention to the invisible layers between people and power—especially in Asia. I admire how the team works to uncover how middlemen affect daily life, from business to justice. Their work is honest and brave, aiming to bring fairness and awareness. The content they share is easy to understand and really makes you think. Middlemen Asia is not just an organization—it’s a voice for those who don’t usually get heard.

This book really opened my eyes to how many people are ignored by the system. Petition for PIL talks about the everyday struggles of common people and how the law doesn’t always work for them.

It’s not just a book, it’s a reminder that speaking up matters. This is a simple yet strong read for anyone who wants to understand justice and society better.

WeDidIt organization :speak up for yourself

I interned at Wedid Organization, a non-profit that speaks up for problems people usually ignore—like mental health, and how the common man often doesn’t get justice. I got to work directly under Sree Krishna Seelam, the author of books that talk about these issues. Wedid focuses on helping people who feel unheard. It works to raise awareness and start conversations about things that matter but are often not talked about. During my time there, I helped with projects that shared real stories and tried to make a difference. I learned how important it is to stand up for what’s right, even when no one else is talking about it. Working with Sree Krishna Seelam taught me how to use simple words and real stories to make people care. Wedid is more than just an organization—it’s a voice for those who don’t usually get heard.

Understanding Indian Law: Not for Common Man

Ansu Shaw — Fri, 25 Jul 2025 19:41:43 +0000

Indian law, though designed to protect every citizen, often becomes a maze too complex even for lawyers to navigate—so much so that lawyers themselves need lawyers. For the common man, entangled in daily responsibilities and financial struggles, speaking up for justice takes immense courage. Unfortunately, the legal system’s slow pace often wears down that courage.

The process is long, tiring, and filled with fancy terminologies. Court hearings get delayed, evidence is lost in paperwork, and cases drag on for years. By the time justice is delivered, the victim is emotionally, financially, and mentally exhausted. Many give up mid-way—not because they are wrong, but because the system tests their patience and resilience.

"Justice delayed is justice denied" isn’t just a phrase—it’s a painful reality. When a person already struggling to make ends meet tries to fight for what is right, the system should support them, not break them further. The law must be made simpler, faster, and more accessible. Legal literacy should be a priority, and the system should work for the people, not just those who can afford to fight.

Until then, the law will remain a privilege, not a right—for the common man.

Book reflection: 5 killer habits be a rebel

Ansu Shaw — Fri, 25 Jul 2025 19:25:00 +0000

In a world that often celebrates ruthlessness and selfish ambition, Be a Rebel is a much-needed reminder to pause, reflect, and be kind—to ourselves and to those around us.

Today's generation has conditioned people in such a way that they are ruthless and selfish. Nobody wants to think about others and be compassionate. Money-minded people just want materialistic wealth, which also leads them to suffer and become lonely. Money is important, but losing ourselves in the process of being successful is not worth all the wealth.

We never know how our harsh words and bullying someone in the name of a joke and fun can impact a person badly. This invites several mental health issues, which even people themselves are unaware of, and the trauma that they are suffering from is just being transferred to the people around them. We should pause a little, take time for ourselves, and travel solo for real-life problem-solving capabilities.

Taking ownership of our lives will help us gain confidence, which will prepare us for life failures and still move forward. Because people will fail at any point in their lives, and if they keep looking and overthinking about failures, depression will be the only place where they will find themselves. We have to break free from the societal pressure of being a perfect person and be ourselves, as this gives rise to a lot of mental health problems. If we learn to let go and unlearn bad habits, we may also be able to live a healthy life.

I believe everyone must have some goals or targets, as this helps an individual keep moving forward, even small bite-sized steps in the right direction, and in an imperfect way will build a person's identity. People must self-introspect and understand themselves, and stop taking validation from outside. Being kind to themselves and the people around them won’t harm anybody, and supporting each other will only lead to growth and being healthy in every aspect.
