Dear Little Girl, I See In You A Woman Of Immense Possibilities

Dear Little Girl,

Here I am sitting at my desk, wondering how and where to begin. What can I tell you differently that others may have not done before? As I battled to clear my thoughts and try to streamline them, an overwhelming mix of emotions dawned upon me. What ensues is the outpouring of my heart, dear little girl.

I see your possibilities, so believe in them

Dear little girl, the world is not fair. It is a tough battleground demanding resilience, perseverance and gigantic courage. But dear girl, this world is also kind-hearted, compassionate and gracious. As I lay my eyes upon you, I see in you, a woman of immense and unwavering mettle. A woman filled with kindness, gentleness yet with a great power and strength that can withstand any storms and challenges. With your smile and undying zeal and spirit, you will rise like the phoenix.

Make your choices, own your mistakes and learn from them, keep your self-respect, keep honing your skills and learn new ones. Don’t be scared to take a stand for yourself or for others you need yours.

Things are changing, even if slowly

The last decade has witnessed the evolving landscape of our country. The very fabric of our society has become a little flexible, more amicable for us, women. However, we still find ourselves entangled within this very fabric. Nevertheless, as we are inching towards progress as a nation, as women, we will be more equipped to fight the regression and repression in our society.

I have been fortunate to have met some strong women in my life. Their strength of character has become a blueprint that have shaped me in many ways.

On your journey, I hope, you too meet such women of strength. If you do, then don’t be afraid to imbibe their characteristics and on the way, be an example for the other little girls.

Never miss real stories from India's women.
