Being women

   As a daughter, as a sister, as a mother, she has to prove herself. She has to be perfect in every aspect. why? I, Sujata was walking down memory lane. She was living with her baba, maa and her elder brother. Her baba was working in a private farm. Sometimes he was going outside of town due to his work and when he came back to home he was bringing some sweets or snacks for them. Sujata and his brother were always waiting for those, but she was watching, maa always gives more to her brother than her. Although Sujata also does likes those sweets.

After the twelfth standard, her brother took admission in an engineering college by giving a big amount money as admission fees, but after graduation, Sujata got married, although she had a desire for higher study. She was also very meritorious in her study. Maa told do your study after marriage, but her in laws said " padhai kia karna ab apna ghar sambhalo". All her dreams had buried under duties as wife as daughter in law, but that was not the end oh her strugle as a woman. When she knew that she was going to be a mother first time. Sujata was very happy dreamimg about her baby. But her happiness did not last. Her all dreams were destroyed before celebrating motherhood. Her husband did the genetic test of her baby and when he knew the baby is a girl. He forced her for an abortion. Sujata had cried a lot. She always think what was the fault of her baby? She was a girl, but only a woman can give birth to a man. God has gave this power only to a woman. She became pregnant second time, her husband was planning to do the same. But this time Sujata took a though decision.

Sujata swore to her unburn baby to do justice. One day she packed her luggage and left the home and come to the station. She had no idea what she will do, where she will go. She booked a ticket and sat in the train. Next day morning the train arrived at some village. Sujata got off the train. She was absolutely unknown to these people. A kind person gave her shelter and her journey of self-respect began. Sujata taught the small children and did a job of a teacher. She especially inspired the villagers to educate their girl child. Gradually from this village and also from the nearby village the girl children come to her school. Sujata had also known some handicraft works. She taught these to women of the village. So that they earned some money for their living hood.

In the meantime, Sujata gave birth to a girl. The villagers look after them. Now Sujata is a renowned person. Everybody is praising her for her works for girls and women and now she is going to be awarded by the president on National Women's Day for her great job. Now she feel very proud of her being a girl, being a mother, and being a woman.
