What does it mean to be a woman? Is it to tread cautiously throughout your day, most of the time? Or is it to overthink every gesture of kindness bestowed upon her? Why are things done for her? What is expected in return? Is it about being pretty? Or is it about appearing less intelligent? After all, isn’t ‘pretty and dumb’ the stereotype? Is it about doubting yourself from time to time, or is it to frequently find oneself at crossroads? Should she prioritize herself or those around her?

How challenging can it be to live within a joint family structure? It can be quite challenging. Particularly, when you’re the eldest child, and even more so if you’re a girl. The weight of expectations from being the eldest child intensifies, as you’re also responsible for safeguarding the family’s pride. Every single action you take, whether it’s your choice of attire or your demeanor, undergoes scrutiny from 5 to 6 family members, on a recurring basis.

I come from a close-knit family in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, with most of my relatives residing in Rishikesh, Haridwar and Dehradun. Our family gatherings were always a time for us to catch up and spend quality time with each other. However, I noticed a troubling gender stereotype that prevailed in our family during these gatherings.

I recently started my career in the non-governmental organization (NGO) sector and had to find a place to live in Dehradun, where the office is located. Luckily, I found a room just 10 minutes away from my workplace. The landlords, a couple, were both professionals: he was a Chartered Accountant, and she, like me, had also completed a Bachelor of Laws degree (LL.B). I rented a room on the first floor, while they lived on the ground floor with their young child. They were kind and welcoming.
