Prostitution | Stand-up Comedy by Vidushi Swaroop

Way before trolls were a thing, while growing up, I was quite often called ‘randi’. This tag used to terrify me.
I used to do everything in my capacity to be a good girl and hoped that nobody would associate me with this tag. I tried to follow all the rules so that nobody would ever slut-shame me. Then one day, I stopped when I realized it is way better to be a 'randi' instead of always living in this constant fear and guilt of never upsetting society. It's a constant state of awe.

I realized that they call every woman who is unapologetically herself a 'prostitute.' But hey, what's wrong with being a prostitute? Anyway, we are all selling some parts of ourselves, from emotions to trauma, jokes to tragedy, and anger. So what's so wrong about selling your body? This is where we draw the line and treat this profession as a derogatory term to humiliate women. Prostitutes are exploiting the exploitation, and there is nothing more beautiful than that. Being a good girl catering to ridiculous norms is scary and turns out, there's no need to be petrified of being called a slut or 'randi' or whatever, because it's not an insult. Randi is not a gaali.
I am a proud 'randi,' and I own it ❤️
