Sometimes I feel myself to be like Sue played by Jessica Alba of famous 4, her famous invisible act comes to foreplay only when her intense emotions takes better of her. What exactly has compelled me to come to the electronic print medium is beyond my own comprehension….! But the agenda is to let loose of my concealed emotion about traditional ties rooted in our system. Today I feel emotionally saturated and hence I am ready to make my perspective very clear and visible at least on Ms Word…!
Traditions are good as long it let people grow and prosperous. What good is it for somebody with zeal and grit to excel professionally? I mean In today’s modern times when stakes are high in ones competitive profession wherefore does one have time to entertain unwanted and uninvited relatives, who come with extra luggage and bag gages of expectations and of course Traditions…Those heavy tradition about food, food, foood. And clothes clothes clothes….!!...!!
My experience up till now has always been about discussion on something that happened some good 10 years ago and that is being promoted even in current circumstances which has no resemblance with what the scenarios was a decade back…Imagine this with in few weeks of my marriage I get to hear something like “ hum apni betiyo ko ghar sey bahar padney key liye nahin bhejtey”…and they believe this to be their traditional pride..My god..! As if getting admitted into some prestigious college you need only tradition and no brains or hard work or determination ….all you need is the tradition, culture…I mean Traditional practices should not be confused with achievements.
Sometimes, I actually loath those girls who don’t nurture ambition in the name of tradition…I remember hearing something like “hamrey yaha aisa nahin hota hai crap”…To all those ladies who have never been serious with their profession or ambition and think that following family culture of girls remaining in background are actually stigma to the growing society and more so the developing country like ours. In India where for every 1064 males we have 1000 female( 2006 est) and only 26% working woman imagine the loss to the country in terms of 78% of women population are actually dependants..and they are not even the tax payers …!!!..If I have to make a financial model on this ..i bet the lossess will run into crores..! So women of
Gone are the days when your “sacrifice” was written in golden words and sung about through out decades…Now your sacrifices are no longer required what is required is action., growth and ambition ...and any action of your which can be converted into an economic value will go a long way in helping our country a better place, a developed place and a lot safer place for working woman..!
