Homemaker Depression-Reasons and Remedies in My Style

Last night, I read an article on Homemaker depression.The symptoms were not clinically experimented but formed out of acute observation. Homemaker depression means depression of a woman after she becomes a house wife confined to the ridiculous square meters of home.The depression which results from losing self-worth in spite of working harder than men because nobody appreciation their handwork. It becomes worser when the goddammit husbands carries an ancient perspective that women are supposed to stay at home in spite of the fact that in modern world woman could be as educated and intelligent as him.

Indian society is monstrous society because the parents imbibe deep-rooted dogma among the girls and boys of gender differences.Girls are expected to assume the role of homemaker sometime in the future and the boys are supposed to provide for the family.Even the most educated prepare life-long for the dowry their girl child.Whereas the parents of the boy child expect a mouth-watering dowry in their son's wedding.In both the events parents have to be blamed.Parents imbibe wrong values within the children because their parents have taught them to do so.Education hasn't made any significant change in their perspective and these lazy lobsters continue to provide defective education to young children in the name of 'tradition'.

The consequences of this wretched activity is breakdown of mental stability the male and females growing up in this environment. They subconsciously trust the horrendous ideologies of the parents and struggle to overcome them even when it's killing them.

Problems Faced by Indian Men

Men exhaust themselves with rigorous work because they have to provide for their family.They cannot think of taking a break from the work and  shift the responsibility to the spouse because the society might think otherwise.However, they don't realize that the battle is not with society but with themselves because they are not able to shake off the image of ideal Indian husband,father or son.It's okay to take a long break from the work so that the light enters between the spaces.It can nowhere question the confirmation of their gender.


Problems Faced by Indian Women

While, women suffer from the condition called cowardice where they fear to express their genuine feelings about homemaking.Who could enjoy the task of shrubbing the house without being credited appreciation or money ? Indian mother-in-laws hardly respect the individuality of daughter-in-law.The daughter-in-law can accept the mother-in-law as mother but the latter hardly does.As a result, the women's soul is depressed by continuous scorn. Working housewives face a stiffer challenge  because she has to manage both home and office. Indian men do not believe in the dividing the household duties.They wouldn't fetch a glass of water if a women is at home.This speaks very poor of their upbringing but that is how it is.Mother-in-law and other family members are always there to remind the lady of her duties but the husband is mostly spared.Worn out with responsibilities the woman lives between the  realm of frustration and anger.She begins complaining.But did I mention that women in India are not even allowed to complain ? Cheap jokes portraying the vamp wives is circulated among friends. The slogan , 'My wife pesters me' becomes a regular subject of tiffin hours among husbands .There is a fiasco in the relation and it ends in an unhappy state of mind.Men become cankerous and women silent  after insatiable arguments.No one can achieve ultimate happiness but at least harmony was possible.In this scenario, nobody is ready to listen each other therefore harmony is a far cry.

It certainly possible to escape a life of frustration by following few principles in life-

1. Be honest to yourself.
2. Introspect your ideologies.Are they worth following?
3. Replace them with logical perspectives.
4. Seek for things that make you happy.There are thousands of profession which can be followed in the era of 21st century.One shouldn't shy away from their dreams.They will impart you solace and a better state of mind.
5. Open about dreams to your partner.It doesn't matter if they discourage or scorn it.You should have a stronghold on them.They are your dreams !
6. Love is the most powerful energy to transform your life.Pursue for things or events that you enjoy.You would see a drastic transformation of depressing energies into positive energies.It will solve all your problems.This is the guru mantra of all problems.

CULTURE AND LANGUAGES OF PEOPLE IN SILIGURI

Welcome Reader !

This blog will familiarize you with the languages and culture of people residing Siliguri .

You must be aware by now that Siliguri is a small town in the north-most portion of West Bengal in India.It is on the foothills of Himalayas. A quick search on the Google map will show that this region is surrounded by magnificent Himalayan states and countries-Sikkim,Bhutan,Nepal and Tibet.Few hours journey and you will land up in a different country.Hindu pilgrims are now permitted to visit Kailash and Mansarowar Lake through Nathu La (Sikkim) from 2015.The weather conditions of Nathu La being favorable than Lipulekh Pass.In order to reach Nathu La one has to has to fly to Bagdogra Airport (IXB) or travel till NJP station and then take a vehicle for Gangtok.From Gangtok , you need to seek a permission for Nathu La from Sikkim Tourism Department at least one day in advance.Mostly travel agents take care of this factor.

Since Siliguri is surrounded by Himalayan regions we have a good percentage of the Nepalese population.They have mingled beautifully with the culture of plains while keeping their culture intact.The languages fluently spoken by them is Nepalese and English yet I have many Nepalese friends who are skilled speakers of Bengali and Hindi.

Bengali and Hindi speakers form the largest concentration of Siliguri population.However, English is understood by most people.

Bengali, Marwari, Bihari,Nepalese and Muslim  are majority communities which thrive Siliguri .The best part of Siliguri is that all festivals are celebrated with same enthusiasm.There is a harmony among the people which is very contagious.Nobody ever forgets the serenity of this place.

TARGHERA FOREST RANGE, SILIGURI - A STREAM HUMMING THE MUSIC OF FORESTS

Welcome Readers !

We all cherish the desire of taking a bath in a sweet brook of the forests.A stream in the midst of the forest uninhabited by civilization. A gentle stream humming admits the dense forests of ferns.Nonetheless, there should be no fear of man-eating animals.I introduce you to a small patch of forest not far from Siliguri where you can live your dream It is called Targhera Forest Range.

Ladies and gentlemen, you are about to witness tranquility through the pictures displayed in this blog.

Targhera Forest Range is a small section of Gazaldoba Forest of North Bengal (Dooars).

Entrance To Targhera Forest

It takes an hour to reach this place from Sevoke Road of Siliguri.No taxis or buses ply this route.Hence the only means to reach this place is through private two-wheelers or four wheelers.The route from Eastern Bypass is the shortest route.This place comes into picture after you cross famous landmarks like Fulbari Teesta Barrage and Teesta Damn.Both the preceding sites please the heart with its stupefying beauty !

Fulbari Barrage

Teesta Dam- A place where sky meets the silent river

The untrodden paths of North Bengal and NorthEast are secured by the Nature for some higher purpose.For me it's place where I find solace.Forget all preoccupations of life.

When you enter the forest track, a beautiful river comes to sight.

Crystal Clear Water of the Stream

Clean that you can distinctly see the pebbles under the water.I don't know it's name but it is certainly a baby stream of Teesta River, originating from Sikkim, which will join a canal to loose it's liveliness.But for now it's alive and happy.Unknown to it's close fate.

Targhera Forest Range is scarcely known to people therefore the place is hardly crowded by visitors.

Happy Movement of Stream

Sunset

The best part of this forest is fern decorated ground.I'm fascinated about ferns.They make me feel very glad from within.

One fine day you can pack a picnic bag and spend a comforting day beside this peaceful river.
