As a kid,I had wild ideas of undergoing gender reassignment surgery to become a guy when I grow up..Guess why? To escape from menstruation😎..It is we girl's irritating companion from preteen to early 50s bothering us to concentrate at workplace,school,college,family life,functions,sports and cultural activities..And the religious restrictions imposed on those days which I loathe.
I always hated it when I get it on the day of my athletic events which used to prevent me from participating.

It was on 12th June 1999 in 5th standard at the age of 10 that I got my first periods,which is early menstruation for the tallest girl of the class😎.As a little kid I was puzzled seeing the brown stains on my undergarment and thought I had some serious health issue.Out of fear and immaturity,i hid my stained undergarment under the bed.Later after 1 week my mom found out and explained to me on menstrual cycle and menstrual hygeine.That was my first menstrual awareness session.But on this day I feel proud of that great lesson my mom taught me for which I'll be grateful to her full life.
It is one of the main reason to avail monthly offs at workplace for most of the girls..But as a woman,I feel every workplace should grant ladies free offs on days of our periods too along with the regular offs..
As we girls get our periods ,we are stigmatised and separated to come in contact ,go to places of worship,offices,schools in those days.I always feel why should we feel ashamed of this amazing blessing of womanhood.
