Achi larki - Achi larki logon k saamnay ziada nai hasti. Achi larki ooncha nai bolti. Achi larki behas nai karti. Achi larki baat maan jati hai. Achi larki akeli bahir nai jati. Achi larki larkon say baat nahi karti. Achi larki shaam ko ghar jaldi ati hai. Achi larki ki asli jagah uskay susraal mai hoti hai. Jiski roti jitni gol hai, wo utni hi achi larki hai. Achi larki wo hai jo doosron ki khushi k liay apnay khwaab dekhna chor day. Achi larki ko sab say ziada khayal apnay ghar k mard hazraat ki izzat ka hota hai. Achi larki jeans nahi pehanti. Achi larki gari nahi chalaati. Achi larki naukri nahi karti. Achi larki itna nahi parhti k rishta milna mushkil ho jaye. Achi larki wohi karti hai jis say sab khush rahain. Achi larki kapron say pehchaani jaati hai.
STOP! We don't need to be assessed on this socially constructed rubric for an achi larki. So many times, people around me have made me feel guilty for choosing my own happiness and dreams. So many times, girls around me have felt the pressure to make life choices only to be socially accepted. We need to accept that girls are capable of making their own decisions and are also strong enough to face the consequences. Girls, if you aren't truly happy, you will never be able to keep anyone around you happy either. This women's day, let's learn to live for ourselves.
