Hello folks! How often are women subjected to one
dimensional labels? It is very easy to categorise them and subject them to such
labels! If you are a good housewife then you are not a good employee. If you
are a fashion designer, you probably were never interested in your studies. I
ask why? The world has changed, do people realize that? Do people realize that
we are a lot better off than the yester generations? Do people realize that
getting 90% does not necessarily mean that their child will take science
despite being interested in commerce? We are no more stereo typical as we may
be used to be earlier. The world has changed and everyone is gaining pace.
So here is my #UseYourAnd story. This is a story of a near
and a dear one. She got married at an early age. Due to family pressure and a
good rishta she agreed to get married. Well she did adjust to all the family
norms. She abided by every family tradition very well. She although happy with
her marriage always kept wondered of her identity? Her husband was a CEO and
her brother-in-law an engineer. Her in-laws were part of NGOs and preferred
spending most of their time there. Now the question was who was she? What was
her identity?
It was six months later that she finally found answer to
this question of hers. It was finally the day she realized that she could be
more than just a housewife. She loved to be with her family, no doubts about
that but all she wanted was an identity for herself to. This is when she put
her degree to use and got herself a teachers job. It is the best she says it
has suitable work timing. Nothing really has to suffer is what she confirms.
Neither her work nor her house. Everyone in her family were also very happy
with this decision of hers. She was the happiest of all because finally she was
not just a housewife but now also a teacher. Because we women are not to be
subjected to those on-dimensional labels, there is a lot more to us.
