Let's do this on World Menstrual Hygiene Day !!

Today 28th of May is known as Menstrual Hygiene Day, celebrated worldwide to highlight the importance of good menstrual hygiene.
As we know in India even today discussing about menstruation is considered a taboo. In urban areas due to awareness and literacy the menstrual hygienic condition is better in some areas but at the grass root level ,ignorance still seems to prevail specially in areas like slums ,villages,tribal pockets etc. Women still neglect their health and do not follow proper hygiene during menstruation. They cannot afford Sanitary Napkins and use unhygienic cloth pads during menstruation.
According to World Health Organisation 70 per cent of all reproductive diseases in India are believed to be caused by poor menstrual hygiene.
It is very important to follow proper hygiene during menstruation . And the very first step towards it, is using Sanitary Napkin. Though Government agencies & few voluntary organisations are trying to  provide low cost sanitary napkins in some areas through various schemes but most of the women are still deprived from this facility.
One thing which i feel we all can do to contribute towards this good cause, is to bear the sanitary expenses of one woman per month. Like the way many of us help poor kids for their education
purpose and bear their educational expenses,  same way we can adopt one underprivileged girl or woman for four days in a month during her menstrual period and provide her free sanitary pads and knowledge about menstrual hygiene. It can be a small but effective initiative to promote menstrual health awareness around us.
You can choose any girl/woman who is poor or underprivileged like your housemaid,staff at workplace,contractual labour or any needful woman. It will surely help her to have happy menstrual cycle.
As we know Menstruation is a natural phenomenal.But it is unfortunate that it is not discussed openly like other issues. Ignorance and shame are main reasons behind it. Now it's time to change this attitude ,we have to take small small initiatives to change the scenario.

On World's Menstrual Hygiene Day make sure you get involved in the conversation on this very important aspect in our life and from next time  start buying extra set of sanitary napkins to  make one more  woman feel comfortable and happy.

Bucket list 💖

Do you have bucket list- A bunch of things you'd like to achieve before you die?
It may include anything from big things like Mount Everest trek, scuba diving,meeting  your favourite Hollywood star, Goan Sunburn festival or Alaskan cruise Or small things like learning music, watching your favourite play or show again or reunion with childhood friends ?? I m sure you all must be having long list of things you'd love to do in life. We all  have a list of things to do..sometimes things in the wishlist or bucket list are so weird to even mention others  but we still want to do it and we should do it because our wishes and dreams are ours and there should be no control over them.
A major issue with the world we live is that when we grow up, it is expected to leave our childhood fantasies behind. Our dreams and wishes are expected to be thrown under the rug of other responsibilities. People get dragged into routine because all they want to do is make life work. Sometimes life is stressful , but it is also blissful. There is a huge ,wonderful world out there just waiting for you to embrace it. The importance of goals and adventure still hold true. One way of narrowing these down is having a bucket list. Having a bucket list is important because it will help keep your spirit of adventure going, it keeps your goals and dreams alive.

Recently I read a news about a couple who has just finished their world tour at the age of 99 and 101. I mean I was amazed to know about this and in their interview they said that it was in their bucket list since many years but due to other responsibilities and financial crunch they  couldn't make it earlier and so decided to do it after 100 yrs of life..what a spirit!! There is no limitation for you when you really decide to do something from your heart.
It was a news item in the morning newspaper - about a lady who has started learning  classical dance at the age of 60 and doing really well. It really takes lot of courage and guts to do what you really want to do that too without any guilt.

The idea of bucket list itself is so thrilling,I feel we all should make it once in a lifetime .It frankly tells us what exactly we are looking for from our life.Most of the times , we spend our  life doing things which we really don't enjoy..so its important to take time for things you actually  enjoy in life. Whatever you will have in your bucket list the main purpose is being happy in life .In the end , the goal is to make the most of the life we are living. Make sure your bucket is full of your accomplished dreams, goals and hopes before you kick it.

OCTOBER - A beautiful story🍁🍁

Recently saw a beautiful film October..concept,direction and brilliant performance by everyone. It makes you think a lot about our society and its fixed sets of rules and regulations. Most of the times we are expected or forced to do certain things for our blood relationships only. Most of the times person do it only because of social pressure. It is expected from us all the time to fulfill our responsibilities towards our blood relationships only, if we try to go beyond and take extra efforts to care for someone who is not related to us, people or society cannot tolerate it, people make you feel guilty for being nicer to the person other than your relative.
In the film Dan's mom gets restless and upset to see her son giving his precious time for his collogue Shivli ,who is on deathbed . She ask him why you are doing this for that girl? You haven't done this for me ever?
It makes you think that if the person tries to go beyond boundaries even parents are not ready to accept this fact?Why we behave like this? Why his mother gets upset instead of being proud of her son who is unconditionally helping his friend who is struggling for life? Why  there is always a burden of blood relationships over other relations?
Sometimes in the journey of our life we meet some people and feel connection with them. Some relations make us feel happy where there is no burden of expectations and responsibilities. We make some relations like friendship or soulmates who are extremely close to us but we are not connected by blood. It's based on unconditional love and affection. Even the  relation which we share with our lifepartner becomes most important for us than all other relationships.
Every relation  is precious in the journey called life whether it's a blood relation or love relation but when the burden of expectations and responsibilities are imposed on the person  specially towards blood relationships and it is socially unacceptable to go beyond its boundaries it slowly slowly kills the love and affection in relationships..and after certain time no love remains and person only tries to fullfill the expectations of society and people around just to be acceptable by our society.
This movie has raised very important issue, it gives a beautiful message that if you want to be there  for someone you dont have to be related with that person, you don't need any relationship certificate from the society, YOU JUST HAVE TO CARE!!!
