4 days back.. when I was sitting at Dr. Pallavi Daga's clinic.. for my first dosage of Vaccination against Cervical Cancer.. I saw a poster ..by MSD (The company,my father is a part of-The vaccination camp being held my them) ..
The poster inspired me in many ways..
Somehow it triggered in me ..the quality of Verisimilitude..
When people still believe it to be a Man's world.. then certain things definitely needs to be changed..
Compromises shouldn't be anyone's forte..
Although, every bonding, every relationship requires compromises at certain phases.. it doesn't mean one needs to compromise with everything one loves..!
Unfortunately, somehow its the women who always play that role of being the bent one.. and adjusting..
I aint a feminist.. but seeing things around.. all the wrongs.. and the injustice, does make me inclined a bit towards the concept of Feminism..
Hence, I believe rationally.. Every individual has the right to live their life..on their own terms & conditions.. regardless of fear..
It doesn't mean ignoring one's values and ethics.. or the culture of the society.. It means, "LIVING".. which many of us, under its literal terms, FORGET.. due to the suppression.. sometimes by our elders, sometimes love and sometimes- the society!
Dressing as per someone else's choice.. socializing as per someone else's wishes.. and changing yourself.. for the sake of others.. is nothing.. but compromising.. for others' happiness..
But where does your happiness go?
Does anyone care about that?
We all might do something for the sake of persons we love.. but in that trajectory of life, we forget that life is not about giving and giving.. at times, you do need to receive something.. the person for whom you change everything also needs to reciprocate something..
Its love..
And when that doesn't happen..its just another story.. of commanding and following.. and one becomes just like a puppet..functioning as per the sayings of someone..
If you are still reading this post.. and you think that I'm so biased..towards the females and am hell bent over promoting Women Empowerment.. then you're wrong..
Because I can't deny.. the scenario of the society in this 21st century.. where women have taken the lead and followed the path of exposing and revealing..
So, as they say.. "Its not about gender.. its just about deeds.."
Maybe someday.. sometime.. You will realize.. or your conscience will make you realize.. that Compromise isn't the solution to everything..
The one who loves you truly.. won't want to change you..
After all, why would someone want to change the person he/she fell in love with?
When that's the exact characteristics, nature,behavior,persona.. that the person fell for??
Worth thinking, right?
Oh..By the way, I forgot to tell you.. about what the poster said..
It said-
"I want love..
I want freedom..
I want a career..
And one day..I'll want a family"
:)
Its not Femme Fatale.. Its the reality.. and the world definitely MUST comprehend this.. and stop suppressing the women in today's society..
Its okay to hold a modern outlook.. and be Indian at heart.. :)
