the silence tax

they’ll tell you to stay quiet.
that your pain is yours alone. that your thoughts don’t matter.

here’s what they won’t tell you:
silence costs more than speaking ever will.

in 2018, india’s central bank cut off our banking.
we could disappear—or make the story impossible to ignore.

we chose the second.

pain shows up uninvited.
but you choose what to build with it.

we turned fear into ink. ink into leverage. leverage into a supreme court win.
freedom doesn’t come from staying quiet.

writing isn’t optional.
it’s the difference between pain that fades and pain that transforms.

you have pain. everyone does.
the question is what you’ll do with it.

write it down. make it matter.
turn your silence into someone else’s freedom.

i’m still writing.
because the world doesn’t need your silence. it needs your truth.
