When the world is busy crying for more, some do really know the worth of getting something. Especially women who have been struggling to a make a mark in this so called advanced and 'fast' society which I really doubt. Everyone is struggling at his/her own front to be at peace. Achieve things in life, be proud, make immediate-loved ones and neighbors proud. But has one ever thought how arduous it could be sometimes to even convince the very fact that you need to study.
Yes, I have seen many in my extended family who were given options to study, rather educate themselves-they didn't choose that path and yes ironically there were also women who desperately wanted to do something in life, study hard, make there presence felt-but failed. Blame it on time or the situation. Its till hurts to see some talents getting rusted, lost in time. But they choose that, out of whatever reason and today they stand successful in there own front. They make a house complete and may be someone's life complete too...that's there pursuit of happiness. It brings tears to my eyes reading or listening to stories or incidents where lot of women today are unable to jump-off that so called high boundary of or society which begins at your own level of a small 'family'. They despite of being industrious, are being labelled as marriage commodity are being dispatched to other places ...the fad being out of country. You see going abroad with an NRI husband is really a great deal! It sounds more like an achievement, where you may have to cook for life but ya not in India but in NY may be.
On the other hand, there has been a couple of incidents and nowadays with some support and a lot of effort a handful of them do succeed in getting educated. There enthusiasm is so convincing to their parents that they break all barriers..small ones but hard enough to stop your evolution. I have seen women going against their parent's will and performing extraordinarily well in India and abroad, especially when they were forced to get married and they somehow managed to get out of it. I feel happy about that. At least there potential is being justified and same parents feel proud talking about it all around.
It does take guts and strength and faith of few great people in life. A teacher, a friend, a well wisher may be, a motivation from a simple thing, anything but yes faith in yourself being the modifier of everything. No matter how the mob around makes you feel, portrays you like you are no one and do not fit into the Men's logical world, you realize what you went through, where you cried and stood up for yourself and how hard it was for you to even face the society including you parents. So someone who answers back, a tit for tat for all those who never appreciated your strength but criticized ..not for the good, has truly achieved what she aimed for. When you can smile at the non-existent natives, the ever complaining beings and still do what you have been trying to-you win and from then on your life starts. I am proud of such people and see myself and my experiences somewhere in this all along.
