Year 2064 AD:
Its a fine Monday morning. Nirmala has
completed her household chores. The kids have gone to school while her husband
has been off to work. As she casually glanced at the photo frame on the wall it
seemed like another other family portrait. Nirmala clad in a green and yellow
silk saree sitting beside her husband Vijay who was wearing a formal suit.
Beside Nirmala was a young girl who was in her late teens. She too was clad in
a pink silk saree.
The mangalsutra around her neck indicating she was married
along with the bright vermillion on her forehead. Beside Vijay was a young man
in his early twenties. He was also wearing a suit. He is Anush. Nirmala and
Vijay’s son-in-law and also the husband of Suhasi, who is the girl sitting
beside Nirmala. Squatting on the ground were two kids aged around two. They
were twins but a boy and girl. The girl was wearing a traditional silk langa
(skirt) and blouse while the boy was wearing a shirt and short.
Tears filled Nirmala’s eyes as she saw it.
Whether they were of joy or grief only time will tell. There were a lot of
emotions going through her. Her whole life seemed to play in front of her eyes
like a movie. Let us see what were the changes that took place in her life and
the ones around her.
From the start of the new millennium (after
2000AD) things started changing gradually. Initially the changes were unnoticed
or even when noticed were discarded as non-important. But over a period of time
it went out of control and everyone had to go with the flow.
The early 2000’s saw the first steps
of female supremacy. More and more girls passed out of schools and colleges
with high marks. While the boys used to get distracted due to many factors like
love, sports, intoxicants etc the girls steadily started getting a foothold on
every field. By around 2010 progress graph was still steady. But since the rise
was not alarmingly high it went unnoticed.
