#CelebrateingtheRainbow at the workplace – share your stories of Pride!
No one will acknowledge your work until & unless you acknowledge your work!!
Just one-week into the lockdown (which is now extended) made me realize how tough it is doing the home chores, being a housewife and to do all the house chores like dish cleaning, laundry, cooking and all those work which cannot be listed and which cannot be acknowledged.
Being a housewife is the toughest job in this entire world!!
Any profession or job will get a weekly off and also will be acknowledged by the family members and others that this person is going outside to earn the bread but no one will admit who is making, serving and worth eating that bread.
We are not able to get the service of maid in these days, still somehow we are able to manage our home clean, cooking and our office work. So, an applause to each n everyone who is doing all these chores on his own and huge ovation to all the mummies who are taking care of their kids as well, while doing all these works and great applause to all the hubbies and papa who are helping their wife and their kid’s mother in achieving their office goals as well.
One more thing, no one will acknowledge your work until & unless you will acknowledge your work!!
And also give praise to yourself if you don’t know any home chore but still you are trying to do.
As I observed that in the current scenario, definition of being independent includes earning, making and serving the bread. So, if you are teaching your girl to be independent which society always seeks, then why there is discrimination with the boys.
To all the mummies, pl. make your son also independent, don’t do such discrimination with them.

Can you believe this bloke compelled me to wear only saris - full time at home- till the eighth month of my pregnancy?! The excessive heat coupled with humidity made my life miserable.
Recently when I browsed an interesting post by a fellow author on this very forum I had a sense of déjà vu. She describes the absolutely unnecessary hullabaloo over ladies donning nighties and /or dupatta –less suits.
I wish to narrate how I was in dire straits so far wearing a ‘nightie’ was concerned.
I lived in my ultra orthodox sasural under constant surveillance of two moral guardians (read Taliban) in the shape of the husband’s mom and dad. The mom was unschooled and dim-witted while the dad was a medical practitioner. But he out-Heroded the Herod in orthodoxy.
My supervisor introduced me as a valuable member of the team, emphasizing my skills and contributions rather than focusing on my gender identity. This simple act set the tone for my experience in the workplace.
As a transwoman navigating the corporate world, I had encountered my fair share of discrimination and challenges. Transitioning without the support of my parents and having limited friendships in my personal life made the journey difficult and lonely. However, when I stepped into the office, something remarkable happened, I left behind the stress and negativity, embracing a space where I could truly be myself.
Joining the marketing team as a graphic designer, I was initially apprehensive about how my colleagues would react to my gender identity. But to my surprise, the atmosphere was welcoming and respectful from day one. My supervisor, Sarah, introduced me as a valuable member of the team, emphasizing my skills and contributions rather than focusing on my gender identity. This simple act set the tone for my experience in the workplace.
As I settled into my role, I discovered that my colleagues went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and included. They consistently used my correct name and pronouns, creating an environment where I could be authentically me. Being an introvert, making friends wasn’t always easy for me, but within this workplace, I found a supportive community that embraced me for who I truly am. The workplace became a haven where I could escape the stresses of my personal life and focus on my professional growth.
