Being a girl is no longer a proud feeling, at least not for the girl herself. The wonder thoughts of ‘hum aage aage aur duniya humare piche’ or ‘ab kadam badaye ja’ give a feeling of wow in the heart. But what about the thought of stepping out of the house or parents saying ‘beta time se ghar aa jana, zyada dur mt jana’ or many a times ‘koi zarurat nhi vhan jane ki’ and the list goes on..
Ever thought what she feels listening these caring yet scary words when she has not even gone out of the house right now and all her plans are in vain?
Times have changed and so has attitude of people. We don’t care about anything until we have gone through that. Just discussing about it, thinking ‘kaash is desh ki halat thodi sudhar jati’ and putting the females behind the bars of the home sweet home from evil eye of the society seems a daily routine. May be the thought of taking a step or doing something about it comes once or twice a day but the next day we are back to square one..
We all read articles, paragraphs about this daily, we appreciate it but don’t do anything. No one can understand the pain or rather the fear in the mind of a girl while walking alone on a moving road (let alone of a street better described as ‘sunsan sadak’). No one can feel the depth of the prayers of their parents sending out their daughters even for studying. People say that a woman make a house their home, but who is responsible for protecting the woman that makes a home.
We are moving ahead in technology and so are we insulting ourselves by doing wrong actions just to prove ourselves strong. If we cannot stop anything wrong then we are punishable.. Taking a step or raising a voice while seeing someone doing anything wrong may not change the whole scenario but it may change someone’s life.. Its true that ‘log tabhi seekhte hain jab unhe khud thokar lagti’ but sometimes it’s best not to wait for that tragic bump in the life.
If we are not doing anything wrong, we should be proud of ourselves. Let others also be proud of ourselves by not ignoring or helping someone and not just feeling bad about seeing anyone doing wrong with a female.
What all matters is – are we able to look ourselves in the eye and face ourselves from the inner after the day has ended and how we have spent it??
