opinions to offer. For Kanta, it felt suffocating, constantly having to explain herself to others.
When she finally reached home, her family welcomed her with happiness. At home, she felt a sense of relief. She busied herself with her children and work, leaving behind all the day's experiences. Her children were thrilled to see their mother back home; it was the first time she had gone out to work, and their joy was palpable. They ran around her, and witnessing their happiness, Kanta felt like the burden of society's expectations had lifted from her head. She realized she wasn't enduring all this hardship for the community; she was doing it to make her loved ones happy.
The next day, she marked a new beginning. Kanta faced the day with newfound hope, greater confidence, and determination in her heart.
Gulluupack, the Indian Handicraft store, depicts this story of Kanta. It illustrates how the opinions of others can create unnecessary conditions and restrictions in a woman's life, causing her to prioritize society's thoughts over her dreams and plans.
