I am a science teacher in a government school. One of our good students Shashi was teaching social science to secondary classes in our school.
She was very much interested in learning classical music. Somehow this idea of Shashi learning #music at this stage of her life was very strange for her family. It so happened Shashi was from a #conservative family. Her grandmother who has every big say in running her family was of the strong view if Shashi wants to learn some skill then the best is she should join #stichinhg classes. According to her grandmother after marriage homemaker can save a lot of money and time with her #sewing skills. In other words, she can #contribute a lot to her in-laws family. Somehow Shashi was not ready for this.

Shashi said” Madam I am not interested in learning stitching/ cooking after attending my school teaching assignment.
I said" Shashi my friend Mrs Kapoor is taking fashion designing classes, you can discuss this with your grandmother at home if she agrees to this idea you can join those classes and get benefited .”
She discussed my advice at home. Her modern and intelligent grandmother immediately agreed for my advice. Shashi joined fashion designing #classes and was very happy about the same.
Once I happen to meet Shashi’s mother and grandmother at a party. They thought that they wanted Shashi to get #married to a suitable groom, and then hopefully things would go in the right direction for her.
I said “I partially agree with your statements, but maa ji suitable groom can not #fix all Shashi’s problems. She must be equipped with skills to solve her #problems. Please help Shashi in becoming a better person and building her #career .”
I as a senior teacher was happy that Shashi’s family accepted my #advice. I was also happy my student is learning new skill, which could make her more creative in life.
