You be you, boo!

 My fellow Indian women, All your life, being a girl, you're told by parents, brothers and then husband on what to wear, how to walk, where to talk, how to behave. Everything you say or do is scrutinized and censored because it supposedly defines how traditional you are or what family values you come from. You have always been told to strive to achieve what society dictates on what an acceptable image for a daughter, sister, wife or daughter-in-law is. You could be an engineer, doctor or a scientist, but if you can't cook or clean the house or can't be at your husband's beck and call, you're sub par, you are a disgrace with a poor reflection of your upbringing, you are supposed to consider yourself lucky that you are "allowed to" have a career and carve a niche for yourself in your field?! Who gives someone the right to bestow on you, your basic human rights that you are already born with? Girl, you are a first class citizen too and you are given one life ...
