“The Price of Being a ‘Good’ Woman Since childhood, we are conditioned to be good. A good daughter—who obeys, who sacrifices, who never questions. A good wife—who adjusts, who tolerates, who gives endlessly. A good daughter-in-law—who molds herself into what others expect. A good mother—who forgets herself because she is taught that a mother’s love is in how much she can give, not in how much she can receive. And what happens when she finally says no? When she finally chooses herself? She’s no longer good. She’s selfish. She’s changed. But here’s the truth no one speaks about— A woman’s worth was never meant to be measured by how much she can sacrifice. If being good means losing yourself, then tell me— Is it really worth it? Not ‘good women.’ Whole women. Free women. Women who refuse to disappear into expectations. This is not just a caption. This is a wake-up call. Tell me—what have you sacrificed to be ‘good’? #thepriceofbeinggood #notjustagoodwoman #womenwhorise #womenwhobreakfree #womensilentstruggles #choosingmyself #womanhoodtruths #notyourperfectwoman #breakthecycle

Ignoring her, Let me tell you what!!

On the busy streets of Bihar’s Chhapra, little Taiba Afroz would ask her father, “Papa, how do these cars and buses run? I want to drive them too.” That childhood curiosity has now turned into reality: Taiba, who once imagined her bicycle’s handle as a plane’s cockpit, is now flying real airplanes.

Born in a poor family in Jalalpur, Saran district, Taiba’s journey was anything but easy. When the pandemic shut down her father’s ration shop, her mother made a bold choice, selling their land to fund Taiba’s dream of becoming a pilot. “People sell land for their daughters’ weddings, I sold mine to make my daughter a pilot,” she says.

In 2020, Taiba completed her training at the Government Aviation Training Institute, Bhubaneswar. She flew 100 hours solo before earning her DGCA license. Today, she’s a successful pilot, earning a lucrative salary.

Even after her achievement, society’s mindset posed challenges. Some objected to her uniform, but she stood firm, “My uniform is my identity.”

Now, she dreams of flying her parents as passengers, making them proud. Her journey proves that with determination and family support, even the sky isn’t the limit.
