In today's society women do not have a very prominent role as there male counterparts. Women are looked at very differently. People see them as weak in heart and afraid of doing things in a forceful manner. Female child has been treated inferior to male child and this is deeply engraved in the mind of the female child. A male child is considered a blessing and his birth is celebrated as opposed to female child where her birth is not celebrated and is considered more of a burden.

Why? Women are people too.

My this artwork "Born to Live" is based on women and I wanted to convey the message to everyone that they(women) have the right to live their life as they want because 'she' a woman is a human being too.

It is not easy to put into words a feeling and a problem that women find harder to talk about than almost anything. Essentially, this feeling or problem is a strange stirring, a yearning, a search that is going on in the minds of women. This is not easy to put into words because those women who struggle with it struggle alone, afraid to admit that they are asking themselves the silent question "Is this all?"

She may spends years, working out her 'adjustment to the feminine role.' She may have many things to say she cannot describe. And an inner voice may say, "That's not it." A women may live half her lifetime before she has the courage to listen to that voice and know that it is not enough to be a wife and mother, because she is a human being herself. She has to find her own fulfillment first.

No women knows where her search for self-fulfillment will take her. No women starts that search today without struggle, conflict, and taking her courage in her hands.

Who knows what women can be when they finally are free to become themselves?

There is a message for all the women reading this.

Be who you are. Do not ever feel stressed about having a dual responsibility of family and work. It is difficult, but not impossible. Tell yourself you are beautiful, do your best and deserve a peaceful life. Anybody trying to take that away from you is making a mistake, not you. Your purpose of coming to this earth is not to please everyone. Your purpose is to offer what you have to the world, and have a good life in return. You are born to live, not to die.
