So, I’m writing this to shine a spotlight on the most abstruse person we see around us all the time. You might be wondering from the title, who are these unsung sheroes? Or who are sheroes? Okay, let’s take it at a comfortable pace; Sheroes are the women who live among us with an invisible cape on. Yes! Some women knuckle down to face the biggest hurdles and yet strive to put a smile on the surrounding faces. I voice the word ‘SHEROES’, as we all are aware of ‘HE’roes but we overlook the ‘SHE’ and the role played by her in our lives.
From dawn to dusk, everything is taken care of by her, but she has no one to look after her. We see men working for their families, struggling to keep up their financial stature, but so do the women who are blessed with a knack to make a house into a home with their presence alone. Their efforts may be different but the reason behind it is the same. A man may get a leave, promotion, bonus, etc., but being a homemaker, her only reward is to feel the happiness of her family, her only leave is to spend time with her family and her only promotion is to keep her home ecstatic till the last breath.
Then we have the working valkyries, not a single man can compete with them.
They manage both household and workplace responsibilities. They dream to fly over the horizon of their lives with grace even after being chained by many duties. At work, they bear the workload, tantrums of their superiors, envy of their colleagues, and sometimes harassment too, but come back home and adopt a different persona to run a different world.
Even after many battles, they remain in the shadows yet again and selflessly put others before themselves. And how do we reciprocate their efforts? We question them back by asking what did they even accomplish all their lives?
We always end up being apathetic and keep expecting more from them. It is very unpleasant that we see this happening every day and let (them) ‘SHE’ go through their hardships alone. As I come to an end, these ‘SHE’ don’t need to get sung as they are content with being unsung, but we must support them and let them know that they are important and loved. Every girl is a born shero as she fights through her life to be a woman and thus keeps fighting to prove that it’s true.
