F- Freedom

Once there lived a girl who belonged to a poor family. Her life was a struggle with no comfort at all. One day she fell in love with a boy, who unlike her came from a rich background. They got married one day and were soon blessed with a baby girl.

The baby girl turned out to be a bully in her teen years. Because of puberty, she had put on a lot of weight and she always wore clothes that revealed every curve of her body. Tight jeans and tight top became the talk of the town at every stop! Plus, she lived in a conservative family which meant no freedom of her own!

While the school grades kept going down, the number of blank calls on their landline rose like never before. Rumors about her roaming on the streets with boys and doing offensive things in public were the only topic that was discussed amongst everyone. She disobeyed and disrespected everyone who questioned her way of living and yet her parents supported her and accepted the fact that she wants to live her life and no one should interfere. This was when she was only 14!

She was the apple of their eyes and they fulfilled her every single demand. Never did they once tell her the importance of good values, respect for elders and modesty, because they didn’t want their daughter to go through anything that was remotely difficult. And yet her teenage years were difficult!

After completing her education, she found a nice guy for herself and got married to him. Her parents didn’t really like the guy and found him to be one hooligan but couldn’t say much about their daughter’s choice.

Soon the love fever was over and life became a daily war for the couple! Both of them hit and abuse each other and treated one another worse than animals. Sometimes, the girl tried to mend things. And in the lure of making things right, she forcefully had a baby, hoping it would make things right one day, just the way elders say in our society. But things didn’t change. Rather, her husband grew even more violent because he never wanted to have a baby!

After spending 9 futile years on her marriage, she’s finally getting a divorce!

And the baby shall live with the mother.

Whose fault was it? The mother who thought she would give her daughter everything.. a life that she never got and thus never scolded her for anything. Was she wrong in thinking this? Or the father who saw in the early years that his daughter wasn’t walking on the right track, and yet left everything on time! Or the family, in spite of being aware of her actions uttered a word, neither to her nor to her parents?!

The freedom to let her live the way she felt like did a lot more damage than repairing it!

Tell me what you think? Were the parents right? Was the mother right in thinking of giving every possible happiness to her daughter? I know a little bit of strictness is important but how do you justify the totally unreasonable behavior of your child? Growing years are the foundation of one’s character. What was done, do you think it was right in the eyes of the mother who supported her daughter unabashedly?

What's your take on it?

Welcome to my Blog! I’m so happy to have you here! This A to Z Challenge, I’m going to give you a ride and take you to all the places untouched! My theme this year is ‘Let’s see the other Side’, where I’ll be sharing about the daily nuances that we’ve been seeing in the same way since 1990’s! (:P) But this time you’re going to ponder over it a bit differently.

I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Cheers

Let's see the Other Side: Theme Reveal #AtoZChallenge

A to Z Challenge is like the biggest mela that happens once in a year round the globe! The baap of all the challenges has become such a massive affair not just because of the huge numbers that sign up for it, but more so because the madness it creates and the thrill it brings around the globe. And believe me, the number keeps on rising every year!

This is the third year in a row of my A to Z experience, and I can’t be any happier. When I participated the first time, everything was haywire. There was no theme, no posts scheduled and no planning at all. And yet the challenge was fun! That's the magic of AtoZ!

The second year, I chose a theme and scheduled a few posts beforehand. Choosing a theme gives a lot of perspectives and makes your write ups more sorted. Sure, I was running behind after a few scheduled posts! 

And here I am for the third year now. I’m sure it’s going to be equally fun! As I am writing this, a kind of anxiousness is running behind my mind because I haven’t scheduled a single post as yet! 

Don’t know how it’s going to unfurl this year?! Until this moment, I was having second thoughts about continuing with this theme, but I think I'll go for it!

Now, time to reveal the theme for April AtoZ Challenge, 2017. Can we have the drum rolls, please!

My theme for this year is: 

Let’s look things differently!

Yes, this year, I want to bring out the things where we see things in a conventional way and yet every story has its own side, the one which we fail to see and draw conclusions. Every day, there will be instances that will bring us to the reality we all live in. By writing on this theme, I hope it will change things a bit, give new dimensions to our perspective and help us be those compassionate individuals who’re willing to be the change in our society and make it a better place!

Get ready to get on the magical ride of the daily nuances that happen in all our lives. If only, we pay them to heed and see on a positive note! Some will be happy ones while some would make you ponder for a lot of things that prevail in our society.  

I hope you enjoy reading the posts, as much as I’d enjoy writing them! Stay tuned!

Have a month full of reading and writing!

Cheers
