The day was as chilly as it could be, somewhere at Himalayas it was snowing, there were people walking down the road, people worshiping 'Shakti' at Holy Vaishno Devi. Amidst all this hustle-bustle, in one of the hospital of this city, a girl was born.. I was BORN. My parents could have never been that happy.
As per Hindi Mythology, Lakshmi was born at their house. (:-D)
Sweets adored all my close one's. People and Family members accumulated to celebrate this "Mega Event." After all, what else my parents wanted! They had become proud Mom and Dad (Proud, you see.. :-P)
Since then, my life has been super exciting. I can't call myself as one place Born and Brought up. I have been the best example of "National Integrity" due to my father's transferable Job.
Like any other growing Kid I had Aspirations. I was a Dreamer! I dreamt to fly high, reach the apex, touch the Sky. My parents stood by my side as Pillars throughout (As every Parent would do). Passing all the phases of my life - Childhood, Teenage, Adolescent, finally, I am under going Phase of ADULTHOOD - A phase where you become officialy "Working", "Responsible" and are on a verge of "Getting Married" (I am sure many of us would be married by now :-P)
And, this is the phase that I am the most unhappy about. "Marriage" - A term that our Society created to bind two people forever. Its a "RULE" that we need to follow blindly! And why? Because its a Societal Norm!!! So, today being a girl; I am facing this stigma of "Marriage".
"Akeli Ladki khuli Tijori ki tarah hoti hai" Bah! Shaadi se kya ladki Tijori nahi rahegi.. She will become safe??
Why is it a set rule within our Society that "Girls SHOULD marry" Why can't we just stay where we want to. I would not want to leave my family and go anywhere. In this society bound with Caste-ism and Hoo-Halaah of Statuses; many duos actually in love; have not been able to be together. The ones who actually wants to be bound by Holy Ritual of MARRIAGE!
Today, I challenge this Norm of compulsory Marriage.
I want to be with my parents forever and ever, in sadness, pain, turmoil, happiness, laughter.. :)
I am their Girl, a BAD BAD Girl :)
