She entered the house knowing very well what the future held for her. Upon entering all her fears came true….the Pundit was sitting right in front of her deciding upon her date of marriage. But she didn’t want to get married and that too at this young age….she wanted to study…she wanted to write…she wanted to fly in the sky with all her might!
But will anyone listen? No, not atleast her strict father who believes that it is better to marry off girls at a young age rather than keeping them as a burden….Strange society we live in..We worship woman in GODDESS form but in reality…she is nothing but a heavy stone attached to our necks as parents…we want to get rid of them in every possible way and that too at the earliest…
The prospective groom was a businessman ….atleast he had a shop of selling eatables…he had a house of his own…what else can a young girl expect in her future husband? He had a house, employment…means to keep her happy for the entire life… But will she be happy? What about her dreams? Her aspirations? She was not even ready for the marriage..mentally and physically…But what will her father say? What will the society say? She cannot take any strong step…after all who will help her? Then she heard the noise of worshippers taking the idol of Goddess Durga for visarjan…..and she got her answers well….She was ready for her Visarjan…to fulfill the wishes of her near and dear ones…Her society….she was ready to sacrifice her wishes, her aspirations., her feelings…She was ready to Become GODDESS Durga!
