what is the peace



After lots of encocragement and motivation finally I am going to share a short story of real life, women base story on this women's day, thank you so much world pulse team for the motivation, at least I came out with someone's life struggle. 



 



On this women's day sharing a story of a lady, supporting me for home management, when we shifted to new town place after my husband's job transfer. she met me here, i was searching someone who can work at my home, and she met me. I am going to share this regarding the what is the peace for her, she was staying in small hut, cover with the jute, has been doing household work from last 30 years,as started in 30INR when it's time to get more she is not able to do that much work because of her age. Her husband passed away, too early, she tried her best to educate her son, he completed 10th standard which is her big achievement. Earlier she was not cooking at home eating whatever she given from the family she was working, now she started cooking on wodden stove. She has completed 3rd standard and like to read, I always give her books and news article cutting to read. She can write and read, I like her because she hasn't left reading whenever she get chance she read, like me, I read when I purchas something from outside in newspaper piece. ( Pakoda and chana chor garm one ) while eating I read it.  Most important thing is that, what is peace for her, ' Ben aapadne to ek time ni majoori madvi joiye (we have to get labour work at one time in a day) she does not have idea what is going on outside and in the world.she never demands,although her name is Ichha (mean Desire) she never asks for anything. Work so hard with full of dedication. She Worship of God because she believes in next birth which would be better than this. I think she is not getting enough source to empower but for me she is the real empower women. Enjoying her life. Lots of blessings to her and she will get better life.



The another story on this day is, a migrated family coming from the rural part. In front of my house, tribal family from rural area came to work in the agricultre farm, it was time when India was so cold and in our home we use to cover ourself with two blankets. the family was staying in open space with 3-4 children. two pregnent ladies also was their in the group. They use to weak up at 5 am because of no toilet so they use to go to open place for it. In that cold weather they take bath everyday and travel to another place start at 7 in the morning. 



one day, a pregnant lady was talking to my neighbour, I asked some questions regarding the vaccinations, my neigbour told me she is travelling in truck with the growing cotton she sit on the top and travelling with her baby in womb. I asked her not do that, she replied, we do not take care like you, we have to work for self and have to do that, nothing happen. we are like that only. She was so happy with the work what she was getting here because they have no more work which can give them money. To earning money like this, to take some amount in hand is peace for her. She does not consider the struggle we look it such as staying in open space, in so cold weather, or having bath with the chilled water in open space. It is ok, but when they earn something is giving peace to mind. 



I feel that, women and peace has different stories, but these are some differnt peace of mind which I come to know. on this women's day, I prey for the better life for them. 



Happy Women's Day...!
