THE COMMANDMENTS OF THE SOCIETY


                                           

 "Wake up!!!...Wake up..!!..see,what's the time now??...
You are a girl and you can't sleep like this..What will others think???"

As a girl,my usual day starts and ends up by hearing the word "society "..
"Don't whistle,you are a girl","Don't sit with your legs crossed!!..,no girls will do that"..
"No you can't go out,it's already 6.30pm,after all you are a girl"...!!!.
"You should take care of your dressing,people will stare at you."..
It continues...


I wonder,do we live  for ourselves or for satisfying the society???..

Man:Hey...a happy news,we are blessed with a baby
Society:Oh really!!...Is it a Doctor or an Engineer???
Yes...it's a fact of life,,from then we are being tagged to be the "Professionals"!!...
And there comes  the society-a dream killer!!..

Son:"Dad photography is my passion,and I want to take it as my profession".
Dad:"Holy crap!!! Are you insane,no way!!!!the entire family is into engineering
and what will others think about you.???"..
And his dream remained cocooned somewhere inside.

By the way,what you mean by the  society??
It can be your family,relatives,neighbours, colleagues or friends.
We all are a part of the society,which have turned to be very toxic now a days.
I can't gulp it why people are so obsessed to know about other's whereabouts??.
The society including me are so pleased to hear about the failures of others
 but not the success stories.
Why we are so eager to dig into others lives,
be it the break up stories or the career failures. ??? 

To live in this country we should adhere to some rules,name it

"The Commandments of Society".

1.A girl shouldn't talk to a stranger,but can marry one!!
2.A boy is not supposed to cry.
3.A girl is old enough to get married but not old enough to go on a trip with her friends.
4.A girl should not stay single after completing her studies.
5.A boy should find a job,the very  moment he has  graduated.....   

And the list never ends,I can't pen down all of it...

                 
Why should I waste my whole life waiting to start living for myself.???..
The fear of what do others think had kept the 'real me' trapped in clutches...
The thoughts; will they laugh at me if I say something stupid?
Will it be okay if I dance?..Can I wear this dress and go out??...!!!..
had prisoned me all these years..
We've  celebrated the 70th year of Independence a few days back..
So can I come out of the cage of the society and enjoy the freedom to live???

"Trusting Our Instincts: Reflections on One Year of Parenting"

-

  As I sit down to reflect on the past year, I am overwhelmed with emotions – pride, joy, and a sense of accomplishment. It's hard to believe that it's been a whole year since our precious Rael entered our lives and turned everything upside down, in the best possible way. In this blog post, I want to share our journey of parenting, the challenges we faced, the decisions we made, and the lessons we learned along the way. Though my  husband and I were both well prepared  when Rael arrived, we questioned whether we were capable of taking care of her, of being her primary caregivers. However, we were determined to give it our all, to ensure that we were the ones providing her with the love, care, and attention she needed. Taking care of all her things right from the beginning all by ourselves was really beneficial in developing a beautiful bond with her. We were able to read her completely and knew exactly what she wanted, making it easy to handle her. My husband had a strong...

Shattering Stereotypes!

  In the bustling corridors of my workplace today, I inadvertently found myself in the midst of a heated exchange between two colleagues – a man and a woman. What unfolded before my eyes was not just a clash of egos but a painful reminder of how deeply rooted societal norms can influence our daily interactions. As the conversation escalated, the gentleman's voice grew louder, prompting a swift and powerful response from the woman. "I don't want to listen to your nonsense, and stop raising your voice at me. Go home and vent your anger on your wife." Her words lingered in the air, leaving me both shocked and contemplative. What struck me the most was the unexpected normalization of a deeply troubling idea – that a man raising his voice at his wife is somehow acceptable. It raised questions about how certain societal norms continue to perpetuate harmful stereotypes, even in the supposedly progressive setting of a modern workplace. The incident prompted me to reflect on t...

The Eighteen!

  The naughtiest ones, powerful than guns, they can just talk and cause havoc. Always ecstatic at times dramatic. They are the rule breakers, call themselves the trouble makers. Jokes apart; so dear to my heart. I was there from the beginning, couldn't be a part of the final inning making me feel sad, at the same time I'm glad for their new ride and with pride I could say, "my kids anyway". I know them so well, that I could tell their tricks and lies by looking into their eyes. For the love they shower, I'm thankful ever. Since day one the endless fun, at the foot of the hill in the evenings; dark, chill green and fair waiting to hear 'Are you free for a coffee'? That is all that matters when everything shatters. Gazing stars at night in the pale blue light having conversations so intense, that doesn't make any sense. Even the walls tell stories of their past glories. Teaching them was a task, it is too much to ask for them to learn that was my biggest...
