Proud to be a reader of FEMINA

PROUD TO BE READER OF FEMINA

I was not-so-regular reader of Femina in the past and it is only 2 years now that I have grown a habit of going through every subscription of it . This book changed my perception towards life in many ways. To name one such is to carry on with my dream i.e to persue back my studies. After having a baby in my lap I sacrificed a well paid job and could not think beyond my family. But I always adore higher studies and wanted to have a degree in English, though I graduated in tourism and also completed diploma in Computer Science but it never gave me satisfaction for some unknown reason. Years rolled on and that dream of more and more education kept sedimenting deep down in some corner of my heart. Though my in-laws are a conservative, middle class Bengali family but they were never a hindrance in the way to achieve my goal but frankly speaking it is me who lacked that inner force which can drive me further . That very inner force was slowly induced in me by Femina. Only after I read Femina’s “Believe” and “Inner circle” sections I dared to accomplish my dream.. It is very well said in Femina’s article “Perspective” (, January 14, 2009)- “ If you want something, the universe conspires to give it to you …”. Many more articles published in Femina again and again helped me to slowly creep ahead towards my dream and start my study.

So here I am. Holding one hand of my 3 years old son and the other of my supporting husband I landed onto Netaji Subhas Open University Campus. I will study English Honours Degree Course which I always wanted to do .Formalities are completed , sitting tight to just ground myself in the Books.
Just saying “thanks” to Femina will not meet the periphery of my gratitude, I wish many more women like me blooms up with Femina like the way I did.
