My whimper

My whimper

From my childhood I am searching for the meaning of my name, but couldn’t find it .I couldn’t find it because this word is modified from its original one, my parents modified it to make it phonologically beautiful. All through my life I have to take burden of a wrong spelled word.
My parents have three daughters, I am their second child, my father was very upset when my little sister was born, he had wished for a son. We always hated a question that we face very often that is “you have only two sisters, you don’t have any brother?” Really this is a painful expression; as if we are still living in the Dark Age where girls are forced to death or a burden to a family. Why then this perspective of average people doesn’t change in this 21st century. I try to cry out.
Three daughter in a middleclass educated family, where the father is the earning member of the family, but the head of the governing body is a mother. The seed of a woman’s dignity can be implanted inside a girl, by a mother’s vision. Betty Freidan, the voice of America’s women emancipation discovers that a woman can become some powerful entity rather then housewives who fasten them in the house core work and pampering their husbands. To me where ever a woman exists and whatever she does the spirit of self dignity is the most important thing. To me, we the women are demolishing the respect of womankind, we arrange beauty contest, women’s day etc; why in this era we still feel this things are important for the establishment of women right? I have participated here as I think I will find some scope to share my views, I want to write under this banner. Am I afraid of stand alone? Why then still we have to make a group to talk about our world? Do you really think our world is different from others? Then the question comes who made this difference? The same answer comes repeatedly that we women are too some extent responsible for making this discrimination.
In our Bengali language there are slang words “Meye manus”, “maye chele”, I am trying to translate it,may be it means “feminine human” and ‘girl’. The attitude toward Meye manus that they are weak, feeble and a lesser human being, has not changed yet in our society, not only man but also woman also consider this as truth.
At first a female generally endure suppression, not physically but psychologically while she faces the double standards. Woman has to confront these facts, she has to stand alone. Women possess lots of virtues that her counter part lacks; she can still win the battle of sex if she is suppressed or silent. This silence is what world likes; if you speak up they don’t appreciate. So voice of women is still unheard, they do shriek in silent in empty space.
