My Choice

What is Power ? To some, it is money, social status, family, command over others whereas to others it might simply be living the life of their choice without having to worry about other’s judgement.

Who says elegance and strength can not be possessed simultaneosly? Time and again I have seen that people believe an elegant lady is fragile, delicate, dependent and a strong, independent, outspoken lady is not elegant enough. How do you define what she is? A women is as strong as you can imagine and as delicate as she needs to be.

Judgement from the society, relatives, acquaintance, friends and even your own family is very generic, when I speak of India. I’m sure it is similar in other states too, however, the intensity of it may vary. So it is best to let go of the judgements and comments they make on you and go ahead with the life of your choice because that is all that matters end of the day.

My elder sister is a fashion model, based in Mumbai, India(Yes, that’s her in the picture).She chose this for herself- fought against our father’s decisions, societal norms and pre-set beauty standards. She has come out to be a strong lady, all she did was followed her dream, believed in it and worked hard towards it.Mother has always been her support system.She believes it is important to do what we love instead of what we must.

A message to all the young girls out there: “You are beautiful and strong.Just believe in the power within yourself and follow your dreams. You got this. “
