As an Indian girl what should be my biggest dream? Obviously it should be marriage. But why, why should I dream of getting married obviously because I am an Indian girl. OK as a girl I dream about my wedding often. I think I will have a destination wedding at some palace and get married like a princess even though I am a south Indian I love north Indian wedding rituals the most because the way they get married, the haldi, mehandi, sangeet and all I just love it. But what if a girl dreams about something else than their wedding? What if a girl’s priority is not marriage? Now some of you will ask me that- how is that even possible? How can any Indian girl’s priority be something else? Just tell me something-why can’t a girl dream of something else? Don’t boys dream of many things like- career, dreams ECT, ECT. So, isn’t it natural for women to dream about all that too? But India is a country where we spend more money for a girl’s marriage than a girl’s education. No matter what course we study or how hard we study after our studies we will get the same job the job of a wife. My mom have already fixed an expiry date for my dreams-5 years, 3 years for my degree and 2 years for my PG and after that I will have to get married no matter what. I was like- hello! I am studying literature not-how to be a good wife? Guys this is hilarious like why can’t my next step after my studies be a job a career like all the boys. No, I can’t, why? Because I am an Indian girl, it’s as simple as that. Now-a-days I freak out even when someone mentions about getting married. I am serious guys. Because a month back I turned 18. In the starting I was really happy because I am officially an adult. But after a few days the reality hit me hard. There are a few things which lead to all this. One of my friends just got engaged after 10’th std even thought her family promised that she won’t get married until she turns 20 years old. When I got to know that I could hardly sleep during the night. I felt really bad for her even though I hated her during my school days. But the strange thing was that when I told my mom about all this she said that my friend is lucky that at least she got time until she turns 20. But is that enough? Like what about her education her dreams can she achieve all that within this short span of time. One of my neighbours a beautiful girl who is older than me she was this nerd all her life. She had amazing grades in everything she studied. She was always the topper she was so focused that I hardly used to see her out of her house she was always into studies. She didn’t enjoy her childhood and teenage and concentrated on her studies all the time. I thought she will achieve big in life. Some time back she finished her education and she did two days back she got engaged to a guy with an amazing career. Wow what an achievement she got after all that struggle. Now most of you will say that marriage is not the end to your dreams and career. But no matter what you say a girls career somewhere get compromised after marriage unless her husband is Arjun Kapoor from Ki and Ka. Wait, but in Ki and Ka also there was problems after marriage. OK leave that even now a days as you all know I take a long time to update. Now after coming back home I will have some work to do from collage and I will have to spare some time to talk to my friends I also have to read some books and stories. So it’s really so hard to update the story in whattpad. Even now I don’t get time to rest and still I cannot make two ends meet. Just imagine what will happened if I will have to do all the works in home to along with all this? My mom was married when she was 19 years old and she had gone through a lot to complete her studies and get a job OK dad help in cooking and other works at home. But there are some things that dad won’t do like cleaning and stuff come what may mom will have to do all this. But mom considers that she is lucky that dad helps. But why should she feel so lucky? Like both of them are working earning money then why can’t both of them do the works at home too? Anyway if I get married there are some responsibilities I cannot escape from no matter how hard I try. A guy gets married after he gets a job and has stable earning. So, why can’t a girl get married after she get married and well settled? No she can’t. Why, because she is an Indian girl. Marriage is every girls dream. But we shouldn’t let marriage be the end to girl’s dreams. So please girls get married but only when you are physically mentally and professionally ready for it and remember don’t get married because you have to get married. But get married when you think you have found the one who is made for you.
