The struggle is real - Girl problems part 1

Hey, guys! This post is about the day to day struggles of girls. I not gonna mention about periods, motherhood or bras as there are already many things about them. These are frustrating things that we have to deal with on a daily basis. I may have forgotten many, so comment below if you wanna add more to this list.

1. Hair - Everything about a girls hair is problematic. No girl is satisfied with the way her hair looks. It is always a struggle to find hair ties and clips. No hair tie is suitable for ponytails it is either too tight or too lose and never perfect. We promise to ourselves to nourish our hair with oil and stuff whenever we see the comb after brushing, but the next day we are like YOLO! WHO CARES!🙆. The day we wash our hair automatically becomes the windiest day ever. We get all ready for the day, drying our hair and making is look as good as possible. We hit the road with so many clips and scarf around our head to keep everything in place and right at this moment the wind god decides to have a little party and we look something like this↓

To refer Disney princess, we leave as Rapunzel and reach as Merida

HOW YOU LEAVE 

HOW YOU REACH

2. Dupatta - This one can be a little biased. This 2.5-meter cloth can sometimes be very hard to handle and at the same time, these dupattas can also be the reason why we buy a salwar in the first place. In India, we are always advised to keep our friends close but our dupattas closer. However, dupattas are the most useless part of a costume when it comes to movies.                                              

 Here is the deal with the dupattas, most of them never stay in place and to find these in a pile of clothes can be exhausting. Pin them you say? well, we don't wanna look like school kids after 20! The struggles of driving or traveling on a scooter/bike are real. We have so many tasks to do with two hands and this 2.5m peice of cloth gets in the way of everything



 * Keep your hair in place* Keep your dupatta in place* Manage your dupatta before any stranger warns you about it (esp while driving)* Should I cover my head so I can manage my hair and dupatta once for all? But I don't want to give any free shows* Is my front fully covered* But I wanna show the neck design on my top* Is my dupatta sweeping the floor Swach Bharat Abhiyan?* Is the dupatta long enough to cover my butt* Should I wear it one side* Should I cover my tummy with this* EFF THIS AND GIMME THOSE DAMN PINS!

3. Night dress - Night suits and pajamas are excluded from this. Nighties are the most preferred costumes by all women. Nighties are worn exceedingly that they can easily become the national costume of our country. But we tend to modify the way nighties should be worn and nullify the reason for their existence in the first place.You see we need to be traditional or sanskari in no matter what we wear. So to shut the mouth of the society, women wear nighties with a dupatta and an inskirt to maintain the 'Kudumbathu ponnu" ( Family girl) look. So nighties are relaxing only because we are used to them being not so relaxing. Get it?

4.Bindi - This marks the level of your tradition. My parents and almost all of my relatives always say this one thing about my Bindi. "Why can't you keep it a little bigger? It is almost invisible" Not only me, I have seen this situation happen to few of my friends too. According to girls, the red round bindi makes you look too traditional and it is aunty style. So we tend to keep the black bindi and are very conscious about the diameter if it is a circle the thickness of that single stroke. Speaking about bindi, Every girl when she was a kid has used the "color sandhu" to make various designs on her forehead ( which all of us regret now😂).

Though many people joke about bindi and refer it to being a recording symbol or a target point of a sniper gun, it is a beauty in its own way ( For more cool facts about bindi read The lost symbol by Dan Brown) Some girls think bindi's make them look ugly but they are wrong it makes them look more beautiful ( Come on, atleast one point and one meme should favor us right!)

So you see, Being a girl is not so easy, we try endlessly to look traditional to please our parents ( and secretly convey we love & respect them) and modern at the same time. It is not easy #thestruggleisreal . Part 2 coming soon!🙌 

Also please comment the things I forgot so I can include them in the next post!
