This was my fate!!

They said: This was My Fate

That I should get married before it got late.

I must bear children, take care of the household,

Obey everyone, remain timid and never be bold.

Fulfil the demands and needs of everyone without any question

My desires, dreams and needs should be none.

To remain confined inside the walls of the home must be my destiny.

The man is my master, who should have my controlling key.

Don’t consider these statements to be true or to be my destiny.

We have always had courageous women, who were born free.

Jhansi Ki Rani, Kalpana Chawla, Sushmita Sen, Sarojini Naidu,

Sudha Murthy, Pratibha Patil, Kiran Bedi, P V Sandhu,

Who showed the world that women are no less in any sphere.

They are as capable as men and must never fear.

Let’s create a beautiful world and promote gender equality.

Where every individual gets respect and is treated fairly.

No gender is superior or inferior to the other one.

We need to create equal opportunities for everyone.

Let’s join hands to stop all sorts of violence or discrimination,

And create an ideal and beautiful world full of joy and elation.
