Nothing's impossible

She thinks if women can reach the moon, then the work she is doing is no big deal. Mohini Tribhuvan has been working as a petrol pump attendant since three years now. And according to her, a woman can find ways out of every problem.

"I earn on my own and also help my parents at home. It's a great feeling. I am never dependent on anyone. Being a woman has taught me a lot of things in life," says Mohini.

Besides being a petrol pump attendant she also works in a hospital as a nurse. She is really interested in the hospitality industry. "It gives me a chance to serve people. And I am very lucky to be able to do that," says Mohini. She is a calm person by nature and has an 'I give a damn' attitude. "When a girl steps out of her house, people start talking about it. But we shouldn't give up so easily. We should face the problems and not run away from them. And that results in giving you immense courage to face the world and the problems. New experiences teach you new lessons. Seeing women as weak is being really foolish. A person who suppresses people is not powerful in the true sense. And where there are bad people, there are good ones as well," believes Mohini.

"I love being a woman. Even though I had a lot of problems initially, but then I got used to it and now I am doing really well. I am grateful to God and my mother for making me what I am today. I am thankful that I am not the kinds who will just look after the house and kids but the modern woman. Obviously I still have a long way to go. A woman plays a lot of roles which I feel is so great. But she also has to put face to all kinds of pains and grieves. The best part is that she goes through all of them and yet stands her ground firmly. She is the one that makes the new generation but still she has to go through so many humiliation," says Mohini who wants people to stop looking at females as mere pieces of pleasure.

"We've proved that earlier and will keep proving that we have a lot of potential. And we can reach places that people can only think of. I would expect people to not only respect them but love them for what they are rather than criticising them. The society forgets what an important role a woman plays in the moulding of the society. People should stop asking a woman to always stay in the house, her world is outside too. This point of view has to come in place. Without us, the society will not progress. And if given the right opportunities we can achieve great feats. I really respect people like Maharishi Karve, Mahatma Phule, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar and Swami Vivekanand. They have done phenomenal work for females in India. People should get inspired by them," says Mohini.

"'We don't want a girl child', this phrase has to be stopped being used. Then the violence and molestations should stop. And they will stop only if stern actions are taken," says Mohini when asked what she expects from the society for woman. "I think woman shouldn't fight. They should live with unity. Like so many women choose the wrong path to be successful so other women follow. They set good examples and not bad ones. Be strong and the like the weak ones who go for the easy path," says a thinking Mohini who is really hard working and believes the best food is when you have earned it out of your sweat. Nothing can be as true as this statement!
