2010....to 2019... it is a long
time...but still not enough....
2010,I decided to bring my career
life to hault for my family which I were trying to build.
Nine years were quite long and
unending....lots of energy went...raising kids…..Fulfilling my family duties
and trying to make society and family believe that I AM COMMITTED TO FAMILY AS
I AM TO MY CAREER.
It’s a tough life of a girl in
Marwari community who wants to pursue her career after her marriage. A
conception is built around the girl, that she will not be committed towards
family if she pursues her career, will not take care of the family, will escape
her duties etc, etc...
Though the girls are allowed to
study as much they want and parents are quite "Open minded"
till it’s their daughter, but suddenly become orthodox and conventional as
it fall down to Bahu or Daughter in law. They want a homely girl or the girl to
quit their career and become a homemaker once married as making ends meet is
not an issue.
But it becomes so difficult for a
girl to been born and brought in one set of mindset, where there is no
restriction or bar for anything and then have to live her second part of life
in a very orthodox environment.
My nine years were full of such
emotional sway, sometimes where I were proud of my decision to quit,
sometimes I were regretting the decision. And later I understood it all depends
on yourself, people in society are meant to gossip on whatever you do. So you
need to be firm and know what you want from life and move forward with focus
and determination. If things go right you become an inspiration for society and
if things go wrong you become a matter of gossip.
These Nine years have been full of
experiences sweet and sour, good and bad, and years of self exploration and
exploration of family's and society mindset, Which I will be sharing in my coming
write ups slowly.
But I am also happy that I can make
a comeback for myself. I can again get back to living for myself too as an individual, along with being
a family member. And to tell you, living to ones satisfaction is very necessary
to keep other in family happy; if you are unhappy you can never make others
happy. Though it took Nine long years to
realize,but I am happy I realized.
Honest submission of changes which a female has to face in life. But firm determission always pays at the end.

ReplyDeleteNot only in your community , its the same mindset in other communities/religions as well. If not after marriage once you become mother the society starts pointing at you for whatever decision you take. Good luck for your come back !
