Being a woman..

-

Hello ladies 👯💖,

First of all congratulations for being a wonderful mother, wife, daughter, daughter-in law, boss, co-worker and whatever roles that you play. It is amazing to be a woman and have self pride for being one. In this blog I'll be sharing what I have gone through in my life which might help few of you out there under same situation. More over I need good listeners who could step on my shoes and feel what I feel. 

So ladies, here I start my first post!!!

I'm Priyadarshni Kandaswamy who happened to be Priyadarshni Ramkumar two years back. I play different roles in a day-to-day life. I'm a wife, mother of 7 months old girl, daughter, sister, daughter-in law, friend, business analyst and what not. It's interesting to think how my life has changed in such a short time from being a carefree little girl of my parents to a responsible mother of a baby. Sometimes I feel accomplished and at times I'm burdened. Very recently I started realizing that it is not easy to carry ourselves as a woman.

Though we talk feminism, woman empowerment, gender equality still we are being judged, compared, suppressed just because we belong to the opposite category of men. No! I'm not a feminist, I'm a humanist. I wanted to be treated as another human being, respect my emotions and consider my thoughts.  

Being a woman will take a toll on every woman! It's not a cake walk. You will not be appreciated for what you do throughout your life. Forget being appreciated, those are not even considered as work in first place. It's a woman's duty!

In coming posts, I'll be talking about racism, big fat weddings, biased society, working mothers, so much more!

Hope I'm welcomed here!

By,
A woman!

Feminism & why everyone should talk about it!

-
In many public forums, many ask what is Feminism and why do you all still voicing for it while you are enjoying the privileges in this modern community?  To be honest, we are moving like a snail towards women empowerment. I'll boldly say, there is gender discrimination everywhere so we should be talking more of this Feminism anywhere possible. Even in common households, the gender discrimination exists and we cannot deny the reality. The personal questions a woman face during an interview is very different from what a man hears. My promotion or hike depends on how far am I from going on maternity leave.  I'll give you an example from where the sexism starts, when I was a kid, we had mostly spent our summer holidays in my grandparents' house along with my cousins. I'm the only girl child in my mother's side. At certain age, after the meal, I was told to clean up the dishes while my cousins were asked to drop the plates in the sink. I questioned my mother why is it ju...

One of the joyous occasion in life is when we bring that little bundle of happiness to this world. Everyone around are happy and takes at most care of the baby and the mother. But sometimes this care and concerns they raise are overwhelming for mother. Most of us are so concerned about the baby that we forget how much pressure we put on the mother itself. Image credit: Google images What to expect as first time mother? I already spoke about the  baby blues  and other emotional stress that new moms go through in one of my articles. Here I'm to walk through most of the questions and dilemmas that I faced handling a new born. When I had my daughter, I had no clue on what I should be doing. One thing I was sure about is to breastfeed her at least for a year even though I wasn't aware of its benefits (This was because my mom told me so before she passed away). I had many relatives around who helped me but everyone had many concerns and suggestions which made my head swing....

Menstrual leave...Building a women friendly working system!

-
While we are fighting for equality, we constantly try to prove ourselves that we are equal to men. It's true to a part but we forgot the fact that we are not identical. We have different bodily needs when compared to man. Recent Zomato's 10 days paid period leave policy has triggered a heated debate among everyone including the feminists. This is not something entirely new for India.  In 2017, Ninong Ering passed a private bill called "The Menstruation Benefits Bill". This bill states that the women in public and private sector are entitled to take 2 days of paid leave every month during their period cycle and also during their period, if a woman works, she can take 30 minutes break twice a day.  Why is it important? Women keep pushing ourselves harder to prove and survive in this world that is designed basically for men. Menstruation is still seen as a taboo and women are made to suppress their pain and keep moving. No one talks about the pain that we go through duri...
