I know I’m late in posting this – but, who will care?
Happy Women’s Day
Every year, on the 8th March , the whole world celebrates this day as a respect to all the amazing Women out there.
But, looking closely ~
I still see things happening which makes me question whether this is just a simple normal day with a tagline.
Women are still being whistled on the road…
They have to think twice before actually wearing that cute mini dress.
And,My dad still gets worried if it’s already dawn and I am not home yet.. As, we all know there are monsters on the road who just want to rob us our clothes.
The classic saga is still here after 25 years old, “it’s time to start looking for a husband” or, the wedding demands start pouring in like rain.
There is still that “OMG” expression when they hear that you are not proficient in cooking yet, because, you know you have been giving your time outside working hours to learning more skills & side projects.
But, who cares about that?
Learn cooking – else what would your in-laws say?
But, what I really wanna hear, what we all wanna hear is this –
“I love how far you have come on your career path” or,
“When are you building your empire”
Oh…and, then there are those women who don’t even know what is Women’s Day since, they are juggling between taking care of the kids and the home.
Imagine the high expectations imposed on the newly married bride…
So, who’s fault is that?
The society? The people? The Culturescape? The mentality?
Or, simply US?
I don’t know why it is like this.
I just know that change comes from me, from you, from us.
And, on that day, I would like to say to all the women out there:
You’re freaking amazing.
You’re GOOD ENOUGH.
And, you can do things that no one would have thought you could.
Learn to say “NO” to what doesn’t make you happy.
You have dreams. I Know.
Have the courage to pursuit them.
And, for once be Strong Enough to Put Yourself First.
Happy Women’s Day.
