Teenage is one of the most beautiful phase for a girl. She has many firsts – Her first lipstick, Her first make-up, first waxing and eyebrow grooming, her first pretty cocktail dress, first crush, first ever date and first kiss, but this is the phase where she also gets her first period. But, why do we shy away from ever speaking about periods or discussing them or living our life? Its just the basic function of our human body, just like digestion, respiration and circulation. Its high time when we say that “I am on my Period, I am not down!”. Period is not to pull you down but instead it’s the time when you can be proud that you are a girl/Woman.
There have been many initiatives regarding overthrowing this taboo- Whisper, Stay free already has initiatives in their kitty, Sofy has taken this another initiative by this beautiful song, sung by Khyati and Kavya Trehan which amazingly tells us that it’s our choice on how we feel during those 5 days- its in our hands to stay our self by not taking those 5 steps back on those 5 days, instead we take steps ahead and be the women we are!
