For a working woman,the ECG which help her run her home,kids,and career.....is her Heartline....very important for her living......is her Househelp.

The Househelp is that person who herself is in a similar situation and understands ...

 Women Suffrage Right.... Right to vote in Political elections.... Women were not allowed to vote. In 1920s, only privileged class Women got to vote.Later,educated Women got the right.But voting rights were given only to particular class of people... Suffrage Rights movement became strong.Right to vote for everyone- irrespective of gender, class,color,religion, community, size,shape,region......Whether straight or  LGBTQ.....Black or white or yellow or any color..... Men and Women both.... The 1st country to give Suffrage rights for Women was New Zealand.  Indian Constitution was drafted in 1950.Indian Women got Suffrage rights in 1951. Today is 2024.Almost 7 decades and more have passed...... India is having  Parliamentary elections.  In Free Independent Democratic India....everyone is given Suffrage Rights. But alas....hardly 40-50% of citizens feel it necessary to Cast Their Vote....Exercise their Suffrage Rights. Very Pathetic scene for a 130Cr Population......

Later abandoned when she was pregnant and vulnerable.... Finally, she was forced to pray Mother Earth to take her back. This was in Purana Kala.....long long years ago. Then came the Nirbhaya incident in Delhi. And now recently in Karnataka, a young girl was mercilessly stabbed by her batchmate when she refused to acknowledge his love proposal. The jilted lover boy just like Ravana couldn't tolerate the rejection.  But though public outrage was seen.Sympathies to the girl were offered ..but..... Yes,.....

The girls forced to prove their morality.... The parents were blamed for the Upbringing of their Girl ..... So ...

 My Validation .... Mirror Mirror on the Wall  Who is the Fairest of all ..... A story we have heard in childhood.  Validation of being Fairest...... Since childhood, each kid especially we girls....are taught to seek validation from someone..... It could be for looks,intelligence, skills,sports,creativity.....art,culinary, dressing........anything and everything.  We must dress up to look good,.....we must be intelligent to impress others...... We must cook for others..... We must learn to be creative or do anything for others....... As young girls, we always strive to get validation from our Father....... When we get married.....we crave for validation from our Husband...... I watched a movie " Dil Dhadkane Do".... A mother craved validation from her husband regarding her looks....which she never ever got....So the neglect drove her into binge eating.  Daughter craved for validation from the Father....she worked hard since childhood and succeeded in running h...
