Think For Yourselves for a Second


By- Swati Singh

The world today talks of women leading ahead, showing wonders in every filed. I feel ecstatic when I see women leading from the front. It gives a great pleasure to see them treading their path to success. Indian women are no exception in this regard; they are achieving new highs every day. The story of success is not different for Indian women too, but the difference lies in the amount of stress and Indian working women feels as compared to the women of rest of the world.

The woman is the anchor of the family, and if she remains stressed continuously for years, it adversely impacts the whole family. *hat has lead to such a stressed life+ # ,ets have a look: 1) The Stress of moving Out to Work : -ost of the women are first generation in their families who are coming out to work. They carry a social and a psychological pressure to prove their decision a right one. They fight a mental war not only for performance but for acceptance too. 2)The Rise of Expectation: .t one hand where families are happily accepting and adoring working women, on the other hand the parents want the girl to be married at a /suitable age". )o debate is re0uired to put forth the fact the marriage in itself is a great test which demands preparation in terms of ad1ustment, compromise and patience and measures performance in terms of compatibility and understanding.
