Sharing my story - my life with you all - let’s celebrate #strengthofwomen this #internationalwomensday I Still Made It - Part One Long Post Alert 🚨 When I was born, they wanted a boy, since I was not the first girl in the house - I still made it. My mother loved me like a best buddy, my father taught me everything which he would have taught his son. I was not supposed to get all that love. And neighbours and society would keep bogging my parents down. Your girls are laughing out loud in open - they would say, your girls are wearing denims, can you lock them inside, hey. I thank these people to be like that cause that kind of push me to make something out of me. Even in that kind of pressure, I still made it. I was born in Rohtak, it is a small town. The city was unsafe and girls had a tough time. Parents would be scared sending us out after 7pm. Hopeless anything would change. Almost gave up on eve teasers doing race. One day I picked up a stone and threw. I thought they would kill me but they came back saying sorry. I was hopeless and scared. I still made it. Why do you want to study so much? One day you will get married and raise kids. You three daughters are such a great pressure on parents - people would say. My mom would say - #education is must. Even to raise kids, you need to know it first. My father didn’t have that many resources. So education was the weapon which came to our resort. I was not a scholar or topper but I studied hard. Constant improvement was my motive behind all. When no one would understand why I woke up at 4am - I still made it. Went to college, life seemed fine. Still struggling the society as a girl child. My mom was strong and we kept going, in the hope of making a future rocking. We all were happy when I got admission in Mumbai. My father was worried for the cost of living, still enthusiastic cause he could see, what was lying in front of me. The life took a U-turn when he was gone suddenly, my mom was shattered and all lonely. It was an unfortunate accident that took him away forever. We had no clue what was going on. Then took some courage and I came to Mumbai on my own. That was year #2006 #istillmadeit #mrsindiaworld (at Mumbai, Maharashtra) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuqRISVndSV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vm67t9403n92
