She let her long hair free in the breeze, her eyes closed feeling the fresh air kissing her cheeks, her arms wide open embracing the world, the moist salty air caressing her body...... She opened her eyes, the birds flew into the unknown and here she laid chained, she wondered. Once in her life she dared to do the impossible, the impossible act she always fantasized , going to the unknown, feeling the unknown, seeing the unknown, most important as a Solo.
As she walked on the shore, breeze tousled her hair, water kissed her foot, she knew she was the happiest Soul. It took her 25 years to feel free, she questioned "What was Independence?" Was India's Independence which was a yearly celebration really meant Independence of Humans or was it just independence from Britishers.
Every aspect of life chained her , her religion, her society, her work, her family, her education, her self.
She was born Hindu. Hinduism has been called the "Oldest Religion" in the world and some practitioners refer to it as "Sanatan Dharama", "the eternal law" or the "eternal way" beyond human origins. It prescribes the "eternal" duties, such as honesty, mercy, purity, self-restraint, among others. According to Supreme Court of India, " Unlike other religions in the world, the Hindu religion does not claim any one Prophet, it does not worship any one God,it does not believe in any one philosophic concept,it does not follow any one act of religious rites or performances, in fact; it does not satisfy the traditional features of a religion or creed. It is a way of life and nothing more.
What being Hindu meant for her was visiting temples, worshipping idols, keeping fast, not listening against her religion. Where rich people could afford VVIP passes and get special darshans and helicopter approach and poors had to wait in queue. Rich people could donate and be called as big Bhakkts and poors at times not allowed in temple.
She was born a Girl. She could not go out alone at odd times, she could never be alone, she should not raise her voice, she was supposed to do household chores, she was supposed to cook and she was suppose to keep all happy. This meant behave like a girl. Orelse others will not respect her. To protect her Izzat was at times the sole goal.
She chose to do a Job, mandatory and which everyone does. Where was the Independence here. Adhere to the time, listen to seniors as they have right, no leaves when needed and all for Money. Money which gave happiness.
The chains grabbed her at every part of life. But this time she had broken the chains just like the birds and flew to the unknown, seeing the unseen, feeling the unfelt and doing the undone.
She was Free.
