Journey from ‘OR’ to ‘AND’
Note: “This post is a part of #UseYourAnd activity at BlogAdda in association with Gillette Venus “. “Get married”, my aunt said. “No. I do not want to”, I said firmly. The discussion was called off. Asking an 18 year old to get married just because “society says so” was not a reason acceptable by any on us. Us, being my parents, my brother, and me. Being born in a Sindhi family, my primary job was to get married. No one and nobody thought beyond that. However, I am rather lucky that my parents are unconventional Sindhi’s who value studies and let me do whatever I want. They valued my independence, choice and knew that I can be much more than just someone’s wife . As years came, so came struggles and challenges. And, I overcame them without compromising.
