-Where even Men are Independent-

In today's generation, men look forward to marry a woman who is modern, working & financially independent.

But the question is, how independent are men when it comes to household chores?

I believe,
while we encourage our GIRLS to be well educated, to step out and make their own career, we must also teach our BOYS to step in & learn to clean-cook-wash, not to the level of being a perfectionist but atleast for minimal survival & sharing the burden.

If the financial responsibility is being divided, then the housework canNOT and should NOT be just one person's responsibility.

The secret to an actual modern, progressive & happy family is divide the work whether outside or inside the house.

I call it BEACH THERAPY !

I visit a serene beach atleast once a year, stand barefoot on the sand,
face the ocean &
close my eyes.

Chin up & let the breeze touch my skin & run through my hair taking the worries away.

Shutting the noises up in my head, I listen.....
I listen to the waves.
Some huge, some small... rushing towards me from far away, like they are having a race.

And there's a rustling sound of leaves from the row of trees behind.
NO...I don't turn...I just listen.

I listen to the sound of nature, and the soothing music they create together.

And when I have heard every sound, I open my eyes and walk a mile along.

I walk a mile along the seashore and let the waves hit my feet like they have come to tell me
" You found your rhythm of peace".

And the sand sinking my feet in while I walk, slowing me down, asking me to take a pause and appreciate what's around.

And just when I am about to leave the sunlight glows on my face.

Visit a beach once a year.
It's a feeling I can't explain.

• HAPPY WHAT ? DAY •
Chapter 2

But wait a minute.
Celebrate yourself daily and at the same time...

Don't be so proud to be a woman...unless, you have encouraged and supported another woman to think, believe and act beyond the norms.
Don't celebrate...if you aren't the woman who is not scared, who is free, independent, bold, outspoken and the decision maker of her own life.
Don't call yourself a 'strong woman'...if u have ever let someone call you 'Bechari'

You're not Bechari.
You're definitely not 'Abla Naari'.
And surely not weak to not fight back.

Bitch (with all due respect), you bleed every month for a whole week and still act like "So what? It's no big deal."
You are definitely more than what everyone thinks you are.
You know yourself better.

You're a daughter,
a sister,
a wife
and then a mother, who will give birth to another.
But hey, so is a Man,
a son,
a brother,
a husband
and then a father.

To run the world requires both- a female & a male.

So let's celebrate our mere existence, as we are God's one of the most beautiful creations (without boosting about our gender)
Let's not celebrate as girl or boy, woman or man.
Let's celebrate ourselves as PEOPLE, as HUMANS.

• HAPPY WHAT ? DAY •
Chapter 1

Hey, it's Women's Day!
Every women around seems to be happy & celebrating.
And here I am wondering - WHY ?

I mean...why just one day out of the 365days a year?
Why not each day as YOUR day?

It's difficult to understand what's so special about this one day to celebrate my origin as a female.
I refuse to normalize the theory of JUST one day of being thankful about my existence as a woman.

Neither do I need this 'one day' for people making me realize how special I am,
nor to celebrate the fact that I am a woman.

I celebrate myself each day.
I pamper myself each day.
I give importance to my Body, my Health, my Self-respect, my Feelings, my Worth, each day.
I give priority to myself just as I give priority to my family and close friends, each day.
I LOVE myself each day.

Because my badass Mother always says:
"Why just one day, all the 365 days are mine"

I'd always think of writing a diary- personal diary- a secret diary, to pour every bit of my heart out daily.
I decided to start as a 7yr old, postponed to age of 16...then 21 and then even the idea of it seemed silly in later years.
But soon came to my realization that.....
Ever since birth I have a secret keeping, very personal, exclusive, trustable, non-judgemental, walking, talking, live diary in disguise
The one that also gives perfect advice -
♥ My MOTHER ♥

Batane par toh sabhi jaan jaate hai.
Bina bataein joh aapko jaan jaye...
Uss insaan mein kuch baat hai.
Woh rishta kuch khaas hai.

The best part about those who fall in love with you.....
If not them, they atleast make you fall in love with yourself 💜

-

Dare to be different,
think different,
do different.
WALK ALONE, apart from the crowd.
And you will find yourself stronger, confident, independent like never before.

Everybody has a story.
But it is famous only if the person is famous.

I don't need a Prince so that I'd be entitled as his Princess.
I am a Princess already.
I am the daughter of a QUEEN.
