"I am a girl, and proud to be. I am doing my Ph.D, yet a philosopher inside me drives me to sit alone for long and think deep about life and people. I get tired with my research work, but generate energy to be happy being a working woman. My mom is my best friend but love to be the Papa's girl. I do not like to eat Mix Veg Chow Mien (specially when mix veg converts to only carrot) but love to have Pizza with butter and paneer stuffing. I love to carry camera while traveling but like to enjoy the beauty of the nature by sitting and looking towards it for hours rather than wasting time in clicking. I love my country and still I appreciate foreign culture. I like to be self independent at the same time I love to observe him showing care for me."
Well, the in the last line of the above paragraph is the writer of this blog post.
I am Sidhartha, and I am writing this post about Niru Chowdhury, a very special girl in my life. The objective of the post is to promote once again the intention of putting an end to the one-dimensional labels that limit any woman's potential after writing " "Mother" : The only Word still being Undefined". The very first paragraph, though scribbled but defines Niru accurately. This post is a part of #UseYourAnd activity at BlogAdda in association with Gillette Venus. The post is on the theme "Journey from 'OR' to 'AND" for the campaign #UseYourAnd.
Though I am writing the blog post but my role is just a representative. So, rest of the content would be presented such as Niru has written the same just like the first paragraph.
I have a problem that I can not tolerate the following mentalities. I hate to listen girls are meant to stay in home. I hate to be convinced as cleaning rooms, clothes and utensils are the girl's job. I hate to observe my mother cooking for the whole family for her whole life. I am not saying a girl should not do all these, what I want to emphasize is, a girl's life should not be bounded by only these activities. They should also get there freedom to set their goals in life and dream to achieve them.
I am a girl from a lower middle class family and spent my childhood along with my other 3 siblings. Though my parents had given all freedom to me in choosing my career goal but financial limitation has restricted me following my preferred one. I completed my graduation in Regional Institute of Education, Bhubaneswar, my master in Physics from Utkal University and currently continuing my Ph.D work at NISER. I have never restricted myself to be tagged to a one-dimensional label and would never allow in future also.
Everyday I live a very hectic schedule in my research. My research work includes rigorous study, experiments, attending and participating in conferences, sometimes organizing conferences and workshops, quite a few times traveling to foreign countries alone for experiments and conferences, communicating with different people across the globe and many more. But the busy life never stopped me to travel, which I like to do for myself. It never stopped me to attend family functions, going movie with friends, having party on celebration days, going on dates with my love, and even many a times preparing my dinner at hostel after a restless day. I take the responsibility of my home like helping my brother financially for his study and taking my mother to hospital very frequently for her health check up. It's not like that I never complain (that is a nature of human being
Though life might not be very perfect, might not be balanced all the time but it is beautiful. Jumping from OR to AND might not be very simple but it gives you the sense of .
