Acceptance of self Anjana Prasad

I am a woman not an object, our great great grandmothers had said this, pleadingly, repeatedly. The voice remained feeble, but never ceased Now we are in the 21st century, still fighting for women's rights around the globe.

It is the next door story of your own mother, sister, wife or girlfriend facing financial struggle and lack of education

Getting married, and having children is not a criteria for the success of a woman anymore. With passing time the molten lava within, has seeped and is ready to flow breaking the mountain of barriers "You have enough, people around make you believe less is more."

But not anymore Thanks to her education, thanks to her parents who took pride in her, that gives a woman immense strength to wipe away her tears, mask her sorrows, gather up her confidence in a neat bun and she is able to stand against the world, which has found pride in judging her throughout the ages

With love still strong and overflowing from her bosom, she walks the red carpet she has laid for herself on the asphalt

With her children by her side, who understand her plight, she is ready to cross the bridge of trolls with an optimistic mindset. Divorced or single, she is backing up her daughters

Shake hands with her as a friend, support her emotionally. She has a clear picture of what she wants from life unlike her foremothers. No more a timid damsel, trying to hide her face 'neath the veil She has understood her soul and mind Belief and faith in herself is enough to take the world in her stride. Giving too much of yourself to others was not her weakness, but out of love and concern for family After swallowing bitter pills for ages, she realised, save some love for yourself, you deserve it too. So, hey people out there, don't get intimidated by her change and success

Admire the soul who brought you into this world. Walk beside her, hold her hands, give her respect and above all don't stab her in the back Once, the person who doubted herself, has realised her self worth. The magic of being a woman unfolds. Settling down, getting married, and having children is no more the benchmarks to define her happiness.

"With you, together we can change the world, without you, I can survive my love."
