I am younger of the two sisters. My parents loved me , wanted me, and had big aspirations about me. That is the reason why they educated me, sent me to another city, another state to become a doctor...
And than like any parent started looking for an eligible match for me. I had dreams, of a loving husband, a loving home, loving in laws and many children. Yes I love children, that`s the reason I chose pediatrics for my post graduation.
My marriage got fixed in an educated family. My husband -an orthopedic surgeon, my in-laws-both academicians, my sister in law- a Ph.D .
Once I got married-I realized my folly- folly of my big dreams. My parents had not given a Honda city car to my in laws. They had not given us a big flat. The Jewelery was not enough... and so I was to be tortured. and on top of it I became pregnant with twin daughters. According to me in-laws our marriage was nothing less than a Tsunami. They wanted to get rid of us.
This is the starting of my struggles. Struggles which started on a personal note, but now I have taken a vow- WHATEVER HAPPENED WITH ME-WILL NEVER HAPPEN WITH MY DAUGHTERS. This is the mission of my life. Education did not help me... that did not safeguard me . So the only way I can safeguard my daughters is by fighting this out- changing the society.
I know I cannot do much alone- but still I can start a change... a change which hopefully will grow.
