“Sometimes being a woman seems to be a boon, and sometimes seems to be a sin”- Poetry which narrates what being a woman entails!
Being a Woman- a boon or a sin, Right from childhood to old age, Trained to behave appropriately, Whatsoever the circumstances demand.
Can’t afford to lose maturity, Society dictates rules upon us, What to wear, how to walk, whom to talk, What not to follow, what to study, the list goes on!
Still the harassment continues in the midst of rules, Some work like a robot supporting others 24/7, But not taking care of self. Showering unconditional love, Expecting nothing in return except love and care from others, But that too difficult at times, As people fail to reciprocate in same wavelength.
Life of a woman is like a candle itself, Candle lit by parents, slowly diminishes with age, Burning within providing light everywhere. Suffering everything silently, Taught from childhood to make others content. Overlooking oneself. Sometimes the flame flickers at times of difficulties, And then the wick goes further down and down, With passing age, nourishing others. Finally, at the end, smoke from the wick comes out.
When our soul gets released leaving behind, What we wriggled and erected all along; Born to struggle and care for others, It seems selfish at times when you care for yourself. Journey of life teaches her a lot more than her parents, Faces of deceit, treachery, mockery, villainy Comes face to face.
Being bold and courageous helps, Never losing hope, she marches forward. Sometimes being a woman seems to be a boon, and sometimes seems to be a sin!

Children should be taught to aspire to be successful, but success doesn't have to mean an IIT admission only!
Imagine studying for 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 whole years for the JEE exam only to find out that there’s only a very, very slim chance of getting into an IIT. It is a fact widely acknowledged that the IIT-JEE is one of the toughest exams not just in India but in the whole world. Apart from IITs, the NITs and IIITs of India also accept the JEE scores for admission. There are said to be a total of 23 IITs, 31 NITs and 25 IIITs across the country.
Now, let’s first get a few facts about the IITs right. First, according to the NIRF rankings of 2023, only 17 IITs rank in the top 50 engineering colleges of India and only a few (around 5) IITs are in the list of the world’s top 100 engineering colleges. Second, the dropout rate of IIT-qualifying students stands at least at 20%, with reasons being cited ranging from academic pressure and unmanageable workload to caste discrimination and high levels of competition within the IIT.
So, it’s quite clear that the journey of making it through IIT is as challenging as the journey of getting into an IIT. Third and most important of all, the acceptance rate or the odds of getting into an IIT are below 3% which is a lot lower than the acceptance rate of highly and very highly ranked US universities. Four, getting into an IIT of one’s choice doesn’t mean one will also get into a branch of one’s preference at that IIT.
