Is it true to be a Woman?
Adhikarimayum Jolly Devi *
Everybody will believe it or not but God has makes a wonderful creation - Man and Woman. Man were assigned to be a responsible son, a responsible father and a true citizen. But for a Woman, there is a lot of responsibilities which will take a whole life to count it.
Man were considered as a responsilble citizen in this world. Its considering since ancient era and still alive. Its like a stone which will never melt even after a millions of years to come. Even though a Woman became a representative figure of the nation still she will be a conservative and a partial mother.
The life story of every Woman might begin from a orthodox family or many be from a liberal family. When a girl want to play like a boy there would be only few number of parents who didn't object to play it. In earlier four or five decades, a girl were considered only a life who didn't have any right to think about themselves.
Every girl must have yearned to be free and being liberal like a boy. Education were not a part in their life. Day and night they were busy in either household activity or nursing younger sisters or brothers. Years goes on and it reach to the present period. There is lot of changes in every Woman lifes.
They were free to study, play and they were free to be the representative of the country. Every mothers smiles to see their daughters blooming and competing with man. They break the bondage of conservatism and ascents toward every field of success.
Even though the earlier limitations were hardly alive but the thought of being inferior from man is still haunting them. When a girl walk alone in a street there were enough man to tease her. In some family, such an inferiority is still alive. According to the fact of earlier custom the role of a woman is to be cool, calm, silent and tranquil.
She shoud be a good daughter, whose duty is to protect the reputation of her family. She should be a good mother, a good housewife, a good daughter-in-law and a good wife too. Every moment is the examining period for every woman. She has to be a successful woman by competing with menfolk meanwhile she has to follow the rules for being a daughter and to go on her life to marry someone with her wish or not. After marriage she need to prove herself as a good wife, a good daughter-in-law and a good mother. Every footsteps is being watch by everybody.
Technology may advanced and might invent many scientific instruments but the inferiority is hardly avoidable. Many woman were successful in their life but its evident to see that such woman were single or may be a divorcee. Its a fact that a man might valued and love his wife but he can't bear to see his wife's success. Even if they encourage their wife but in his heart their will be a silent complexity and jealousy.
Its true to be a woman because lot of people were depending on them. Their will be hardly any man who can play the role of a housewife. He may try and do it but couldn't do all the task of his wife. Even though a woman can overcome from her Men, she steps back and let her man feel secure and dominating because she want her family to be happy.
Its just a dedication from a woman and no man could ever make such a dedication. Woman should be thankful to God for giving such a patience to endure and succeed. So be happy to be a woman. Courage and dedication should be a part of every woman.
