My Beautiful Journey !!



I am a girl who comes from a small village in Gurgaon. Lived with my widow mom and two siblings. My struggle was on even before that, however I had no clue. You see I am a girl from Haryana, where patriarchy flourishes. That doesn't sound so bad isn't it? It was worse actually. If any of you know about Haryana is, farmers, lands, mostly criminal goons, ruthless and uneducated population. I know all of this because I had almost the same picture in my mind in my childhood. Why is that though? Mainly because it is to an extent correct. My issue was much bigger though, I was girl. Yes, that was my issue that I am a girl who was born in a society who are orthodox and man dominated. In Haryana girls are suppose to do whole lot of chores at home, but education wasn't necessity. Up until the time a rebel girl named Deepa came in the picture. I have seen so many bad examples of men in my culture. Men who don't respect women, treat them as an entity, a lot of time even  beat them. Harsh but true.  

I was struggling to pass my high school as I never Imagined myself doing so. For the obvious reason, being so bad in studies. Everyone till I was in high school were pretty certain as to what are they going to do once they go out of the school. There I was dreaming to fly, to have those wings and soar up high and travel. I just somehow believed that I am a traveller and a dreamer. Struggles my mom had were also very strongly seen by me. I used to wonder what I will do so that she becomes happy. All was just so beautifully cooking in my head to be an Airhostess.  

I started my career journey as a Hostess in one of the restaurant and I was very happy in what I was doing. Moving on from there I picked up some nice connections through which I landed in the Hotel industry. Then Moving on one day, I realised "damn, I didn't want to do this sort of job. I wanted to become an Airhostess". And then I struggled with recruitment agencies. After being in the process at last, I found my dream job. It wasn't that easy that it sounds. I had my one of my bottom tooth bit bigger than the rest, so I was asked to get it fixed and come back again for the interview. And I fixed the tooth and again went to give interview which was 40 kms from my home. Guess what? I got the first Airhostess job. Yippee !! I did it. Hurraahhh!! 

I will continue my story in the next post.
