When we hear the name "India" a picture diverse cultures and religions froms in our minds - a country where women are worshipped like goddess.Temples echo with prayers, and people bow devotion.lt feels like a place where women are respected, honoured and cherished
But reality is often very different
In the same society, daughters and daughter - in - law are burdened with the weight of the entire family s honour. They are tied to traditions and expectations so tightly that their own identity slowly fades away.their dreams are silenced,their voices unheard.
I belong to such a family
A family where a woman is seen as nothing more than an object someone whose only purpose is to take care of household.
Growing up,I watched the women around me live in silence .their smiles often hid unspoken pain , and their eyes carried stories no one ever about . And d some where in all this , I found myself living in silent double life.
On the outside ,I am everything they expect me to be.
But inside... I am someone else.
Someone who dreams.someone who wants freedom. someone who refuses to believe
that this is all life has to offer.
But maybe my story was decided long before I even understood what life meant.
My life and my fate were sealed long before I took my breath - while I was still growing in my mother's womb.
My grandmother once told me something that still sends chills down my spine.
When I was just 3 month old in my mother's womb my mother met with a terrible accident . this situation was creatical.the docters had almost lost hope and sad that saving both my mother and me would be nearly impossible.
Everything felt uncertain every moment was a battle between life and death.
But somehow ....after countless efforts,prayers , and struggles ....both of us survived.
People called it a miracle.
But sometimes , I wonder...
Was it really just a marical?
Or was my life saved for a reason I am yet to understand?
Because ever since then, it feels like my life has been walking on a part already decided for me.....
And maybe... the truth behind that day ....is something I still don't fully know.
