  Dear society, You have always put women down. Even the women became the enemy of women these days. Whenever a man gets a job is appreciated, whereas a woman is not. For a woman it is said that she has to manage the household chores and also her job. But nobody ever said a boy child or a man that they also had to do household chores and make money at the same time. The male member of the society is encouraged by their own family to get married and wife will cook food and to all the works for them. Equality is just a verbal word used by our society but when comes to action it is not done. It is trend set by our society that women can work until they make everyone happy with their so-called unpaid servant job. A woman has many authorities, from the day she is born, she is said to follow the things as said by her elder male members till her death.                       ...

  According to Hinduism, marriage between two persons is a sacred relationship that is not only limited to that one life span, but seven life span they are of each other’s partner. It is said that marriages are matched in heaven, and destiny will play its part to bring them together. The relationship between a husband and wife is essentially a relation of souls. For Hindus woman marriage marks the end of her life as a maiden. She leaves her family, friends and begins a new life in her husband’s family. Back then marriages were considered as pure and if they are not happy in the marriage still they have to stay with their in-laws. Women after marriage have to pretend to be happy and also she has to act like a sanskari women (bahu) to create an impression. They were only allowed to do household activities and also they don’t interfere in the other matters of house (managing money, child’s future decision, and many more). Women were just a mere piece of object in many of the small vil...

M arriage is a legal sanctioned union, usually between a man and a women that is regulated by laws, rules, customs, belief, and the duties that been given to the partners and accords status to their offspring. The universality of marriage within different societies and culture is attributed to the many basic social and personal functions. It provides structures, such as sexual gratitude and regulation, division of labour between the sexes, economic production, consumption and satisfaction of personal needs for affection, status and companionship. In India marriage is only about the growth of the generation, and also a licence to the loved couples to be together. Until the late 20 th century, marriage was rarely a matter of free choice. In societies with arrange marriages, the almost universal custom is that someone acts as an intermediary, or matchmaker. Some form of dowry or bride wealth is almost always exchanged in societies that favour arranged marriage.     ...

V alentine’s Day occurs every February 14. Across the United States and in other places around the world, candy, flowers and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all the name of St. Valentine. But who is this mysterious saint and where did these traditions come from? We do know that February has long been celebrated as a month romance, and that St. Valentine’s day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition.           The Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred. One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century of Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men. Valentine, realizing that injustice of the decree, defied Claude and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. ...

All talk and no action!! This is the state of women’s situation in our society today. When we talk to the public in society they speak positive things about women but when times come they criticise the women’s very cheap way. Different people with different mindset can be found in our society.  The progress of society in regard to women:  Men are superior and women inferior.  Women going out are unsafe . Sure they will bring in some money, but what will happen if something happens to her? No one will marry her.  There is a simple no of women going out even if they can do everything of their own.   Women should work and earn if they want but only as long as family needs or allow it. If family does not want it then she must sacrifice her career.      Roots of a person lay at home. Home is the place where it begins and the actual place where this problem can be solved. Still most of the families in India have the mindset that a girl child or a w...

M enstruation is the natural part of the reproductive cycle in which blood from uterus exits through the vagina. It is a natural process that 1 st occurs in girls usually between 12 -14. It is one of the indicators of the onset of puberty among them. This has always been surrounded by secrecy and myths in our societies.

E ducation is a fundamental right, and should be given to all gender. One must refrain from discrimination based on sexes or gender. Unfortunately, discrimination based on gender still prevails in many parts of our country. Our society should understand that it is necessary to educate women. The growth of women in various fields has expanded India’s literacy rate. Women play an important role in our life. She is the creator and also could be the destroyer. We get a mother, sister, friend, partner, caretaker, and many more character she plays in our life. The sacrifices she makes in her life no men can ever go through them. To educate women is to educate the entire generation.  Education makes women become self-reliant and eliminate her need to depend on a third person for her and her family’s survival. Financially strong women raise their voice against old social customs and injustices. When a girl child gets well educated from her childhood she becomes a well mannered and a gracef...

           “A beautiful life begins with a beautiful mind.” Your mind is a beautiful thing. When you fill it with positive thoughts, your life will start to change. We come across such people in our lives that have an aura of that positive vibes. A person shouldn’t be judge by their complexion. Our mind should be beautiful; we should always accept the thing or a person as they are. For example – the lotus plant; it grows in mud but it’s beautiful and people accept the way it is. A person’s intension or their behaviour is known by their mind, people always like those who have beautiful mind thinking. A family stays happy when all the members have positive and beautiful mind set. A person is known by its personality and personality comes from the way of their communication with the other person. These kinds of people handle situation very smoothly without any quarrel.    But people judge you by your looks (complexio...

  W omen have three births – a mother, daughter and a grandmother.  When girl children were born in families back in the ’70s and ’80s and some places still today, which was said as a burden to the family. There are also instances where parents sell off their girl child’s in the name of marriage due to financial constraints. We read about girl child rape and sexual exploitation in the daily newspaper. There are been instances where the father himself, cousin brother, uncle or neighbours have sexually abused or made them uncomfortable. If these kinds of things or incidents happens in a family then how any girl or woman can are safe outside their house. Rape is a very strong word connected to emotions. The word rape has been derived from a Latin word ‘rapio’ which means to take away. In rape it is forcibly snatched something from someone which is clearly is an offence. It is a type of sexual assault usually involving sexual intercourse carried out against a person without that p...

            Books are the quietest and most constant of friends. They are accessible and wisest of all counsellors, and the most patient of teachers. Since our childhood we are said book is a holy thing and we use it to gain knowledge. In our lifetime we come across a lot of books, some gives us knowledge and some gives us our way to get out of boredom. When a teacher teach something he/she go through the text books to understand and to make their students understand. And the students also go through the text books because only listening from teacher is not helpful. They have to be practical and read the book of their own ones.                 In this busy life people do not have time to communicate with another. And the little time they get, they like more on social media or some people by reading books. Some people are crazy bookworms; they just explore books and read them. The more you read books and explore, ...

Being a girl or a boy is not so easy, But judging someone is very much.  Feminist is not about "ladki hun kuch bhi  kar sakti hun".  But , the equal rights for both the genders. A real feminist will never support the kind of things going on these days.  After the Lucknow cab driver's case I don't even think feminism really existed in India.  If a boy abuses a girl, that's wrong then why not a girl...  If a boy slaps a girl in public is meant to be wrong then why not a girl.... If you say you are a feminist and still support these kind of bullshits then you are not a real feminist..  This is all about gender equality , don't being partial. A girl has being given the freedom which was earlier not allowed but don't misuse the power of your freedom, that someone innocent will be forced to death.  Being a girl , I myself think that we should not judge someone before knowing the actual truth or both sides.             ...

There are million things that you can be,  But for now , please make sure that you're happy being YOURSELF.

My heartfelt thanks to those book vendor sellers to make my work e...
