Being a Female…

Being a girl is a challenge in itself. The day a baby girl is born from that particular moment her war with the society, family and even with her parents start.

In India and probably in the rest of the world 75% parents curse their luck on giving birth to a female. So, we all can imagine how unwanted that little baby is. This hatred is not towards the baby but on the sex of that baby, which in the future leads to the discrimination and stereotyping.

I personally haven’t faced any such discriminations till date. But I am yet to face the true world, so maybe a dark future is waiting for me. But not all girls in my country are as fortunate as I am. They are being discriminated by their mothers only. But, the truth is that the mothers are not sorry for their daughter’s sex but for her future which is in danger in the hands of the Orthodox society.

Female’s capabilities have been seen in all the spheres across the globe and numbers of World’s renowned events. Therefore I won’t mention about our capabilities in this blog. But even if a person is not capable of performing a certain task then, even no one has the right to torture and snatch away the human rights.

Females have been the prey of different crimes sexually and mentally all around her, irrespective of whether it is her work place or her so called comfort zone “Home”.

Though, today we can see and look at various movies trying to spread the message of Gender equality and Human rights. But I believe that these things cannot change a person’s mindset but create a small impact in his/hers brain for a very short period of time.

By looking at the current status of woman in the world especially in my country, I want to dedicate a small message to all my fellow Indian females. “You posses a different identify despite being a daughter, sister, niece, wife, mother and daughter in law. You are first you yourself. Don’t let yourself fade away in the oppression of your own people. You yourself have to raise a voice against all the crimes happening to you every moment. No one else can understand your situation better than you do. Be courageous.”

I also think that the females who have faced abuse and violation, they should now take a step forward and don’t let any other females at least near them to suffer from the same conditions as they have.

Though, I am writing this blog to take a step at my level and capabilities. But, somewhere in my heart and mind I know that, the current scenario and status of the women won’t change for at least the next decade. But I am optimistic and desparetly want to reform the current inequality and violations against the ‘True Goddess and Life Giver of our Society.”

74 th Year Of Victory….

Today on 15th August we the Indians are celebrating our 74 th Independence Day with great glory…

On this day rather midnight 1947 we won Independence from the British colonialism. After over 150 years of slavery and oppression our great freedom fighters contributed there life so that today we can lead a life with complete freedom and follow our own culture and celebrate our own country.

Independence Day is very special for all of us. As the month August arrives we all have some extra joy and excitement in our heart. We all celebrate this auspicious day with great respect and gratitude towards our ancestors. Though it is a national holiday but I firmly believe that none of us celebrate this important day in the form of holiday.

Every year this day is marked by hoisting our National Flag- The Tiranga. ‘TIRANGA’ is unfurled by our respected and honorary Prime Minister in the Red Fort at New Delhi- our national capital. It is followed by Prime Minister’s speech on Nation Development and the sacrifice of our freedom fighters and presently by our soldiers. One of the most important event of this day is the PRESIDENT GALLANTRY AWARD CEREMONY. This day also marks the sacrifices of our brave soldiers from Indian Army, Indian Air Force and Indian Navy. We all Indians are very grateful to our soldiers and officers of Intelligence Agency for whom we are leading a safe and secure life.

As we all are going through a very tough time due to this epidemic all over the world. But the excitement and patriotism is still alive within all of us. We the Indians from various parts of India are celebrating our day of victory through the virtual means from the safety of our homes. This pandemic is not a good reason enough to let our joy, excitement and patriotism suffer this very year.

I take immense pride and pleasure to celebrate our 74th Independence with a new virtual form but with the same patriotism in our hearts.

Those Days

It has been over four months since we all are locked in our houses in India. Initially when the twenty one days lock down was a declared in the month of March, then we all were stumbled and lost our mind of how is this going to happen. But as a week passed rather ten days passed then gradually we started to adjust with our own people. Even , I am sure most of us is trying to do something new and productive like, cooking new dishes which we only previously ate in our favourite restaurants and food courts, then doing some beautiful handmade works, reading books and novels, dancing, singing, making our bonds stronger with our loved ones and what not.

This pandemic is every day leaving lot of impacts in each individual’s life either in positive or negative way…

So let’s convert this lock down period to find our true selves and harness the positive values embedded within us.

Thank you so much for reading!! Hope you will also find your true self and try to update yourself for a better tomorrow.

The Land Of Diversity

Yes you are right I am drawing your attention towards India, the seventh largest country in the world as per area and second largest in terms of population.

India is a country filled with rich culture and heritage. Even one of the seven wonders of the world ‘ Taj Mahal’ is also a part of our country. Taj Mahal is famous all over the world but there are hundreds and thousands of such monuments which is even not known to us – the Indians.

We don’t only have a strong background in history but also have been gifted with many world renowned scientists and mathematicians who have strengthen our grounds in science and maths. Like, zero was introduced by Aryabhatta who was an Indian, plants are living organisms was discovered by Jagdish Chandra Bose. These were the few discoveries which has gave the world the fundamentals of maths and botany. Even there are many astronomical observatories located all over India from which many astronomical observations have been made that have been a turning point in the initial research of astronomy.

But I feel that our country is considered as a country which could have never civilised , if the colonial power the British wouldn’t have emerged as the new power in the political horizon in the seventh century. Which is not correct. Yes, we have been beniffited in many ways. But it is completely inappropriate to say that without the colonial rule we couldn’t have reached the position where we are today.

Now if I mention about our own people who consider there birth place not worth of residing, then how can we blame the outsiders who have such wrong perspectives towards India.

It is my request to all those Indians who think India is a third grade country with no infrastructures, then you are mistaken. We are a global power now and the complete world looks forward to us of producing more and more such talented Indians who would leave India and contribute their hard work for other nations. But is it correct? Definitely not because if you start to build your carrer here and then leave the country then you are ditching the country which has been looking forward to you for not doing something great but for some loyalty of returning at least a percent of what you have taken.
