FROM 45 DEGREES TO 18 DEGREES

Well I'm finally back! The Morocco page has been updated so feel free to have a snoop around and ask me any questions about my trip.

Unfortunately, I have a feeling that I have missed a few things out but I'll be sure to update the page as soon as my brain decides to work in my favour.

I have pieced together a 10 minute video of some of the highlights of my two weeks so do have a look at that.

Next on my list is a thorough tour of Italy! 

LIKE A GIRL

"You...like a girl."

This phrase has always frustrated me. 

What does it mean to be a girl?

As an Indian girl, this question has always been brought up in conversation when surrounded by other Indians. 

I grew up thinking that a woman's place is in the kitchen. She should only speak when spoken to. She will never achieve great things if in competition with a man. God forbid, she should never speak up for what she believes in. 

Watching my mother break all these stereotypes has taught me that being a woman is more than what the Indian tradition and culture teaches its children.In a land where women are treated like dirt, where rape is seen as something which is "sometimes right and sometimes wrong"; it is important for females to break these stereotypes and take control of their own future. It's the only way that sexism will be driven out of society and women are treated with respect.
