Can you be yourself for one day???

Hi everyone!!!

How are you???

Actually I'm in  great confusion in figuring out my character.I really don't understand myself.

But yeah of course I love myself!!!The problem starts when I think about others."What others will think if I act like this? What he/she will think of me? If I do this,will it spoil my Parent's name? etc"


I love to be like me.But I'm unable to do it.Because of the environment I survive in.

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.

-Steve Jobs

Education is the basic right for everyone.But I faced lot of issues in pursuing my goal.I struggled a lot to convince my parents to allow me to do my Engineering.My parents are good.They didn't oppose me.But the people living around started scaring them by listing out some lame examples.


The next war started when I got my call letter from Cognizant. As usual those people started scaring my parents.But my parents didn't listen to them,they respected my choice,They gave me my opportunity.


Even now, I'm not free to go out with my friends.My parents are afraid that if anyone sees me outside,then my name will be spoiled!!! I always obey their words because they are the ones who allowed me to work in Chennai(away from my home town),so I need to help them.So I usually avoid going out with friends :-(


I am not allowed to talk loudly,I have to be polite,I should not speak whatever comes to my mind,I am not allowed to talk to boys,I must tolerate if somebody harasses me,I must be silent even if I'm harassed,I must obey others even if I'm not interested,Or else my name and my parent's name will be spoiled.  I have to do all this,because I am a Girl!!!

                              When I was born,My mother was quite unhappy as I was a girl baby.But I cannot blame my mother because her living environment made her feel  that way.


Now my mother is happy to have a Girl child like me(I suppose).

Everywhere we talk about Women Empowerment.The truth is,Women Empowerment must originate from our homes. We must respect Women.

And girls,we must be bold enough to open up.We must Fight for Ourselves.We should not wait for others to fight for us.
