00:00Today I got my first salary.
00:01But why are you still wearing bangles?
00:03Some lady today came and she mentioned on the community
00:06I carry a master's degree.
00:07Last two years I have been trying and finally I got a job for myself.
00:12And I have even learned to ride a scooty and now I'm riding to my job every day.
00:17Today I got my first salary and all those things.
00:20And then when somebody said, no, this is something very unacceptable.
00:23They said, but why are you still wearing bangles?
00:25Are these not indicators of patriarchal oppression?
00:28What do you want her to do?
00:29Next you'll say, why are you wearing my sari?
00:33Somebody says, for the first time I went to the market without a male companion.
00:38And you'll say, what's the big deal?
00:39I'm always in the market.
00:40I sleep in the market.
00:42Whatever that means, I don't know.
00:45For her, it means something.
00:47All progress always is through baby steps.
00:51And if you cannot acknowledge the baby steps, there would be no flight either.
00:57The baby bird, what do you think?
00:58It just starts flying.
00:59It takes a few steps.
01:00It falls.
01:01It does those things.
01:02Try maximum.
01:04And don't be disappointed.
01:05If the progress is just a little, even just a little progress is proof of concept.
