The Office Working Women




Hello there, I’m a married woman and opposite to what many might think I work both as a professional worker and as a housewife. I was always ambitious since I was a small girl. Today I work in a multinational company and earn a good satisfying salary.

The world is changing but when I was a small girl, the thinking of every elder was that girls should start learning household work since the very beginning because that’s what a girl is supposed to do. Thankfully, I had parents who taught me every household work but never told me what I would or should do in the future. I was very competitive about my studies and grades. I earned my degree and got a job that I really aspired to do when I was young.

I married at the age of 28 and my in-laws didn’t have any problem with me working out of the house. My husband always encouraged me and supported me through everything. You may be thinking I’m bragging about myself. Well, I’m not. Even though I take pride in what I do but that’s not why I’m telling you these things. The thing is even though I got a job I love, there is still a lot of stuff that goes on in my mind. We all have different things that bother us and stress us out. Well for me it’s the balance between home and work. I have a 4-year-old kid and I felt I owe it to him that I’m there for him every time. But I also wanted to work because I love what I do. There’s a maid for preparing meals and doing daily household stuff but sometimes I wanted to cook for my husband and my in-laws. But whatever I do, no matter how hard I try there’s always something that slips away. This stuff started stressing me out too much and I knew I needed a break. Not from my married life, but from the monotonous schedule that I had started hating.

So one day this friendly neighbor girl came around who treats me like her big sister, and told me about this all women tour. About 12 of our colony’s women were going for the trip. I knew I had to break my monotonous schedule somehow and this felt like the perfect opportunity. I knew that I had to take permission from my husband and in-laws. But as it was an “All Women” tour, no one had any objection.

Believe me or not a trip, even a short one, can do wonders to a stressed mind. Travelling is like a get away from the daily routine. It makes you calmer. After having a successful and peaceful trip, you can go back to your life with a lot of new ideas and perspectives towards many of your life problems. It’s been many months since I first went for that all women trip. And since then it has been the best way for me to solve the problems of my daily life.

When Travel became a Purpose.

Image
I have travelled solo to many places over the world and have gathered a treasure trove of memories beautiful, adventuresome, fearless, and awe-inspiring as well as some scary ones from which I came out unscathed yet emboldened. Juggling my corporate life with the escape artist in me came very smoothly to me in a span of seven years. I loved my work and knew very well not to make it get to the point of mundane, courtesy the advice of my father. He always practiced so called ‘time-outs’ from his hectic schedule as an advocate in the high court with a simple reasoning that ‘your profession too is like a budding romance, you have got to make efforts to keep it alive and blossoming, and for that you have got to pursue a leisure activity that takes your mind off of your job for some time.’ ‘So that when you return, you fall in love with your work all over again.’ That’s been my success mantra of life and my leisurely activity happens to be Travel. Travel gives me the wholes...

When I looked closer…

I was not too proud of where I came from i.e. Assam until recently after a ten day trip with some amazing women. That trip entirely transformed me into a person beaming with pride of the cultural richness and tribal legacy that envelops Assam with such diversity. Though I graduated from one of the most prestigious and world renowned colleges of Assam 15 years ago, I really wanted to get out of that place as soon as I could. I just couldn’t ignore the under-developed status-quo of places, the mindless corruption, the impoverished state of some tribes, raging unemployment and the ever-increasing gap between the rich and poor. The rich were getting richer, the poor poorer. I convinced my parents of studying in Delhi and didn’t look back up until now. My parents visited me for a few years and then decided to move to Delhi for good. So we ended up with a house of our own in Dwarka where we mingled with the Assamese diaspora who have since relocated and settled here, during Bihu f...

MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT WOMEN TRAVEL

Image
Women and Travel on the same boat? Is it a perfect recipe for getting drowned? Or is it a delicacy that most of us fear to enjoy. There lies deep rooted huge misconceptions about the Women Only Travel. Most of these misconceptions are a mere myth. Lets  bust all these myths and face “THE TRUTH”. Travel is rough, Women are delicate Myth Travel and women (without men of course) is the worst idea. Why? The statement is backed up by the society stating  that women are weaker gender. They are so delicate and soft (mentally and physically). On the contrary, travel is a complete sport in itself. Its rough, it demands instant decision, adventurous activities and a bold spirit. Women don’t carry that spirit. Women can’t handle handle what’s rough and challenging. Myth Busted Referring to an article, WOMEN - The force that drives the MEN, women are actually an underestimated resource. She is capable of wonders. She is the creator of human life. How can one say she c...
