Every human being has the freedom
to follow his/her dreams and choose to do what he/she is passionate about.
Religion, caste, color, tradition, gender and superstition should never serve
as an obstacle in anyone’s life.
Future of a person should depend on
his/her capability and not on the above factors.
In this post I want to highlight
the case of one of my friend, Ruchi who fought for her dreams and finally
achieved them with flying colors.
Ruchi was the youngest of all her siblings who
included 2 brothers and 2 sisters.
Her father owned a grocery shop and
mother was a housewife.
Her parents were quite simple but
the family at her mom’s side was quite aggressive and dominating.
Her Mamas were into politics and
believed in violence than peaceful negotiation.
Also they were quite narrow minded
and used to treat women of their house badly.
For them woman only had 6 labels
throughout her life.

#Housewife #SexObject #ChildProducer #ChildCareTaker
Ruchi was born and brought up in Mumbai
and hence she was an independent and ambitious girl who loved freedom. During
summer vacations she along with her mom and other siblings used to visit her
Mama’s place which was in Uttar Pradesh. When she was in school things were
fine as she was small and used to listen to her Mama but things changed when
she entered junior college.
All her friends were now serious
about their career and also motivated her to choose one.
Most of them suggested her to join
the aviation or hospitability industry as she was damn good looking, had
charming personality and great articulation skills.
After pondering on their
suggestions and also discussing with her favorite teachers she finally decided
to give it a try.
She told her parents about her
decision and asked for their consent.
In starting her parents were a bit
worried as she would be away from home most of the times travelling to places
which won’t be safe for her but finally were convinced.
One week before the interview of
Indigo, her mamas suddenly came to Mumbai.
She was sure that her mom had
casually informed them about the interview but didn’t think about the
consequences.
As they entered the house one of
them slapped Ruchi and asked her mother to send her with them.
According to them she had forgotten
all her customs, traditions and sanskars , gone out of hand, hence it was
necessary to bring her back to line.
From now on she will only learn household work were their clear instructions.

Her mother was too frightened to
protest but Ruchi was ready for such situations.
She called her friend at once whose
father was a police inspector and complained about the physical and mental
harassment her mamas had caused her.
For a second her mamas were shocked
to hear her words.
Though they were into politics in
Uttar Pradesh but in Mumbai they were just a common man.
Police came in no time and were
going to arrest them. Frightened they asked for forgiveness and promised never to
interfere in her family matters.
Ruchi gave them one last warning
and requested police to give them a last chance.
Finally her big day came.
She gave interview of 3 Airlines and got selected in all of them.

Today she is a senior cabin crew
member who is enjoying her life to the fullest.
Not only her parents but also her
friends like me are so proud of her.
She is an inspiration to all those
who wants to free themselves from different labels given by the society or
family members and live their dreams.
