On Eve of Daughter's day !



The whole idea of writing this blog hits from a simple whatsapp text by one of my friend Bezuban Alfaaz, who is also a budding writer. 

The evening conversation starts from hi , good evening to how are you? And directly jumps to suggest me some topic to write and suggestion was write something on daughter's day.

So, here is some literary work inspired by and dedicated to some of my favourite people in life.

Scroll down and enjoy reading !


My first words dedicated to one of my good friend. [ I cant disclose anyone name here]. I would says no girl suffers most than one who has no father or mother. In her case, she has no father , her father was expired when she was in 6th standard. She is elder in her family with two younger siblings (brother and sister).

After her father's death, her all family included her mother and siblings sent out from his father's house. Then, they used to stay with her maternal grandparents. They helped a lot by providing them shelter.  After some time , her mother got job on her father's place. Life started going normal as she joined new school and continued  her life from new edge.

                     

I met her in college , in those days, she suffered from a lot of financial crisis and many other issues. After college, she had vision to get good job and helped her mother . She already helped her by being a responsible son to her by taking care her young siblings and let her did her job tension free. She prepared for many competitive exams but couldn't succeed and in between there came the issue of her marriage as her maternal aunt want her to marry so that they fulfill their responsibilities. She couldn't able to find best match for her. She is unemployed and just spent her whole by doing all household chores. Sometimes , she thought she is just burden on her family and nothing else. She has no hope about any good thing happens in her life even after marriage, life will be same.

So, here are some lines dedicated to her which expressed her thoughts as daughter.



Once I was daughter,
Then I became son,
After some time...
I became maid and caretaker,
Now, i am just burden,
and good for nothing.

After few years....
Surely, I will be someone's wife
Then will be mother
And again on same stage
Purposeless...
and good for nothing !!



Now, here is my another favourite lady , she inspired me alot.
No doubt we are good friends but I always respected her as my elder sister. I met her in my working field. She was my colleague. We shared so many thoughts to each other about life and always approach life in positive ways even in dark times. There was one incident that started with what if....

What if I had mother who could tell me the truth about being a women, that how I will be considered a slut or a prude that's dependent on the choice of fabric on her body.

What if she told me that I will be sexually harassed by the time I turn twenty two and whenever I am alone outside, I will prepare a mental checklist in my mind of what to do when the any men follow me.

This what if list goes long ....

So, here are some crux of deep discussion that we did specially when you are in role of women , someone's daughter, someone's sister and someone's wife or friend.


I will tell my daughter that the sky is limitless,
Her body, her heart, her mind are beautiful;

I will tell her that you deserve nothing 
less than respect and space,

I will tell her that world is crushing 
but you are strong enough
to endure the weight,

I will tell her that systems in place
are not just but you have the power
to change them,

I will tell her that when people try to silence you
speak the truth and scream back louder
so they will hear every word you say !!
