It starts in the year 1997 when a happy running Indian family sees the toughest turmoil of their life and an earning father passes away survived by his wife, Pramila and two young daughters, Trisha & Avisha. Trisha was in class XI and Avisha in class VII when this storm came. Struggle started not only with this life changing shock but its aftermaths were more shocking. They saw people and esp. relatives sympathising with them wherein empathy was a distant emotion. And, soon their near &dear ones started making way out of their life when support was the need of the hour.
And, from here the real fight of these survivors started, to bring actual survival in life. Being an Indian I can understand our society becomes real culprit and brings additional pressure, when families tries to bring wheels to their life, as if a woman cannot survive without a man’s support (with due respect to father). And one fine day, after taking all the pain from society, Pramila decided that she will be in-charge of her life as well as her daughters and will not bend down to social pressure. She left city and moved to a new one with Trisha & Avisha with a dream to give their daughters care, affection and most importantly their desired education. It was not easy however, as I always say challenges in your life has tendency to bring best out of you it moved in the same direction. Challenges – financial; social; decision making, were coming but as Pramila was fighting these challenges were making her more stubborn, smart & impactful.
Pramila’s focus was to give her daughters good education and as her daughters were growing they were understanding and relating to the fight their mother was carrying. As Trisha started doing part time job along with her further studies Avisha worked hard to get selected in an Engineering college and that too with a scholarship reducing the monetary burden to her family. Things were improving but happy days were yet to come as challenges were there to study, earn and, survive. Society was amazed to see the progress that too without their help but as usual they were jealous. And, they brought in additional pressure to Pramila – “It’s not easy to get your daughters married as their father is no more & additionally they are getting highly educated too !!”. Pramila got determined further as efforts are continuing time will bring everything in favour with best results. As time moved on elder daughter got settled in a nice teaching job and younger daughter got selected for her Masters in one of the prime institutes of India with a scholarship again.
What next – Trisha got married to a highly earning Delhi guy with no dowry, continuing her job too and Avisha got into a job soon after her Masters, got married to an IT professional again with no dowry and she is happily settled in USA now. What happened to Pramila – she is reaping the rewards of all her hard work and stays for 6 months with her elder daughter and then travels to US to spend next 6 months. And, whenever she gets a chance she visits to her old home to feel the real taste of success.
This story is just an example of what Women are capable of and for that they do not always need support of men. Women can take multi facet role in her life as situation asks for and she can play that role to perfection. This is the quality of women which a man cannot even think to match leave apart having that. Woman is always a powerhouse – be it your mother, sister, wife or daughter who can transform a life simply by her emotions and determination as Pramila did.
Ladies – respect your individuality and please understand your power. We, Men, are not capable of what you can do and achieve. Salute & regards to you from a Man.
