Let the storm rage on....

A kingdom of isolation...and it looks like I'm the Queen...

Just a simple sentence and it envelops an in-depth thought and possibly complete life story of someone deprived of life's valuables...

I am completely taken over by the song and lyrics of Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-lopez for almost a year now. Usually am not a fan of any music unless I understand the lyric and it touches my heart. This song from Frozen has been a darling song for millions of people across the globe for over a year sweeping away awards and hearts with equal elan. And goes without saying I love it ...love it...love it...Especially Idina Menzell the beautiful artist brings to life every word in this beautiful song. 

Just try and focus on the lyric you will know how much it relates to the character in the movie ...in fact how much it relates to so many woman in real life... As most of us were raised and our characters carved...almost 85% of girls would hear these " House Rules"...which in reality do not bring the right personality.  Most of us grew up learning to "not say NO" even when our hearts cry NOOOOOOO.  Many of us learnt to hide our emotions and natural reactions in most cases and carry the so called "Good Girl" image. Thanks to a dear friend of mine who taught me "How to say NO" when it is a NO and how it is completely acceptable and rightful even though it is unwelcomed. If not for that I wouldn't be what I am today and writing this piece of advice to whoever this applies to. 

Looking back at the song...Surprisingly..."Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don't feel,  don't let them know, don't let them see, don't let them in"...these lines...especially. ..conceal...conceal...conceal...most girls become woman in this process of concealing their thoughts, ideas, their feelings and even their dreams...


How unfortunate it is, that being as human as the opposite gender...."conceal" the real you and grow becomes the way to be for 85% of girls/women universally. ...be it for financial reasons or social reasons or religious reasons or whatever useless reasons that might be. How many dreams shattered? How many aspirations murdered? How many abilities grounded? How many hearts wounded?

Yes we do live in a world where significant woman contributed to mission Mangalyan. Yes we do live in a world where CEOs, COOs and CFOs of giants like YouTube, Facebook, Yahoo, PepsiCo , HP, Xerox and many many more are WOMEN ...We truly are in a world of WOMEN Presidents for Countries which are in the top list of World's largest National Economy with their GDP touching the stars. But, can we deny that, we still do live in the same world where Women struggle to "Let it go...." and realize "It's time to see what they can do ... To test the limits and break through... No right, no wrong, no rules at all...free to make their choice...dare to dream...chase the dream and see it come true...

Break the shell and listen to your heart and you will see how you can build a magnificent castle of your dreams... how you can be on top of the world if so you wish to be... crystalizing every dream like an icy blast. Set your soul free... give it the power to pierce through the sky through the ground through the wind and the ocean...

Its only the Woman, GOD's only creation,that can do anything that she thinks is possible under the sun. History till yesterday is vast...we can idolize many Heroic Winners globally...just to quote the recent one the youngest Malala Yousufzai, the 17 year old stands right there in front of our eyes with that charismatic smile...as if she's inviting you into her world... And only if you had known or read or even watched the movie about Mary Kom, a five-time World Boxing champion and the only woman boxer to have won a medal in six world championships. They both etched their lives with utmost care and conviction. Looking at Mary Kom...her background... the place she comes from, the challenges she faced, the ZERO resources and ZERO support she had earlier on in her path....and of course Malala...such a young and tender heart and such brave life.....This list can be endless.....How many do we see, read and know that can be on our idols list. Showing many the path to success.  Its only their WILL POWER...their inner strength alone THAT made it happen. No external support needed. 

Know and believe that WOMAN do not need any MAN or any one to bring her happiness or success. Only she is capable of making herself happy and WIN the World.

If you have not done it already, then TODAY is the day to put the first step forward to chasing your dream... make a promise to self... I'm never going back, the past is in the past... sky is my limit.

Tell yourself....."I'll rise like the break of dawn... That perfect girl is gone"
Let it go...let it go....I'll rise like the break of dawn

Let it go...let it go....Here I stand....Here I'll stay.... 


Let the storm rage on....
