An Indian girl

India attained freedom long back but do an Indian girl has freedom to dream on a career she loves ???
In 95% of Indian families parents tell to her daughter,
See my dear,
-you have to mold yourself to fit in your husband's family.
-You should never raise your voice against your in-laws.
- Give support to your husband to achieve his dreams and become a good wife.
-Lovingly raise your children and become a loving mother.

Is that all a girl has to do...?? If she wants to study after marriage should she fight a fierce battle at home?? but no one objects a boy to study after marriage.

Why should a girl leave her home while a boy need not after marriage??

Asking such questions is also offendable in this society as this is considered as the most unwanted behavior expected from a girl..!!! But why..!!!

When can a working woman truly enjoy her life?

No sooner than I started my professional career, I realized the brunt fact that doing a job is all together a different game for boys and that for girls. One day I woke up late in the morning as I was so tired. I went to kitchen and saw my mom almost running from one place to other and juggling between various tasks - cleaning lunch boxes, cutting vegetables, preparing breakfast and lunch. Daily I help her by sharing some or other work. That day I  couldn't  as I was already late. At last she was done with the work but I found her to be totally tired, sweating profusely and from her uneasiness I realized that her neck again started to ache, which is literally intolerable. My mom in her 40’s  wasn't  able to do the daily chores all alone with the same ease that she once used to. My heart sank by that sight. That moment I thought of quitting the job and stay at home to help my mom.  I went to her and asked “Why don’t you ask feroz (my elder b...

Things This Little Book Told Me..!!

O ne day I was curiously looking at all the book titles,row by row at our office library. A large collection of technical tomes always left me diffident.So I went ahead and searched for a book at the general section.With a sky blue jacket, having an image rolled on both sides, with an artistic font of title and a cute cartoon of a bird hanging at the center, a book grabbed my attention. It was written- " Things A Little Bird Told me- confessions of the creative mind."  My connection to the word creative (As I always brag I am !! ) made me to have a glimpse of what the book was all about. Author -  Biz Stone,   Co-founder of Twitter. I never heard about him, appreciated my general knowledge levels and then continued reading the cover page. At the bottom, it was written "A unique gift of perspective to anyone dreaming of taking risks, changing their lives, and changing the world ". Interesting and relative, I thought and borrowed it from our library. Embarked on ...

Not Just For A Girl....!

Absorbed by a thought I was totally oblivious to one and half hour tiring journey in the scorching heat of sun. A thought that was planted by the most effective or to be precise the most intrepid speaker I have ever witnessed. It was not a meeting specially designed for ladies nor was an event on some Women’s day. But Kavya, a scientific writer by profession had delivered in a regular get together a speech on the myths and unhealthy practices of Indian women during the menstrual cycle, addressing a huge crowd in which majority were men. Having men onto my both sides, I felt a pinch of embarrassment on hearing the topic but Kavya’s gentle reminder that the race of humans wouldn’t have existed without this biological process and it was not a taboo subject, immediately comforted me. She presented a statistical report throwing light on the fact that 80% of the Indian women do not use sanitary pads but rather use SAND, ASH, GRASS, NEWSPAPER and RAGS during their menstrual cycle.
