I was scanning my circumstances and was meaning to write this for quite sometime..And with the Supreme Court’s handbook on combatting stereotypes taking prominence it seemed befitting! Toiling to overcome territorial barriers of the legal field in a country different from where you hold a practicing license may not be an extraordinary choice but is not the mainstream one too. Grappling with the career transit, I stood by the mirror and sought an answer of what I would be called now, when my career is not an active income source. The tongue spelt ‘housewife’, the brain instantaneously stepped in to correct- ‘ah no, it’s called a ‘homemaker’. I was fortunate to be taught early on that words have power over our lives and hence was fierce to correct anyone who called them the ‘housewives’, since school years! But, when it was a title depicting my own reality even the dignified ‘homemaker’ appeared unrewarding for the chores I partake! This began my quest to search for a term that dignified my current circumstance where I work tirelessly to ensure a balance, sanitation, mindful meals, pleasant ambience, clean laundry, credible job-hunting, making work & personal phone calls, self health practices, intellectual stimulation to ensure my sanity, making space for something unexpected within the expanse of a single day. True evaluation and self introspection made me pick a winner. I aspire to revere those in my shoes with the term HOME ECONOMISTS. For I utilise life skills learnt over the years to manage time and act successfully through all roles that life demands me to display. I ensure creativity in whatever I do and more often than not have the vigour to keep going. This road too as all others, isn’t an easy one my friends… especially when all you wanna do is cross past this road. #lifeanditsramblings #liveyourtruth #livefierce #youareworthy #wordshavepower #nomenclature #supremecourtofindia #supremecourtindia #lawyersofinstagram #lawyerslife #transition #socialstigma #socialawareness #askwomen #sheexplores #explore #homemaking #homeeconomics #homeeconomist #homescience #wordstoliveby #express #mycommunity
