Why? Mother's Day posts

 


It is an observation made over some years, married women are so overburdened to maintain this social image of a good daughter-in-law that they cannot wish Mother's day just to their own mother alone. It has kind of become essential for them to tag their mothers-in-law(MIL) as well in status, social media posts and even in their DPs.
On the other hand, hardly less than a per cent of men are found doing so. It is really hard to figure out women's motivation.

I hope that women question themselves and ask:
Why do you have to? What is pressuring you? Are you looking for social validation? Or that amazing picture of yours with MIL was taken only for this day? While most married men do not bother to do the same, what is your motivation?

Dear ladies, just rethink and analyse your actions and claims. MIL can very well be respected without having to be equated with your own mothers. Well, see when men do not have to then why should you? Relieve yourselves from unnecessary social pressure and the burden you unconsciously carry each day.

Also, Mother's day isn't just restricted to appreciating the mother who gave us birth, It is a celebration of all the motherly qualities. You can wish anyone your teacher, father, brother, cousin, relative, friend or just anyone who has played a similar role in your life. If it is genuine go ahead and express gratitude, but kindly don't do so for the sake of society.

Weird Modern Women

They are called modern in every era For they dare to be different Push the social boundaries Ask explanation for traditions That paint them weak, Keep them away from power, Burden them with responsibility, Curb their right to choose  and push them to just follow- the mores and customs & practices most of which they despise. She is often caught and pulled back  by this social web  so intricately knit that guides her look her every move her  every choice because she fears being an outcast It is so skillfully made That even in her rebel too she tortures herself to fit a checklist of liked/ desirable women  From waxing her body to wear that shorts/skirt to compromising her career for family it all looks fair and part of peaceful living.

What a girl wants?

I don't wish to be a trophy of your home, I am a slice of this universe. With choices of my own, Don't hold me back by the stereotypes. As I don't wish to go along, the usual flows or traditional ways. Like a recurring tide that moves all along still at the shore, it stays. Let me be a young river make meanders and flow, Let me bask in the sun and glow. Don't make me fear the bruise and burns I may get, For without taking a plunge far more I will regret.
