Woman and Marriage are two sides of the same coin, But it depends on you how you take this forward in your life. Today, you will see women coming out from their shell and Ajanta Panda is no different. A shy girl from Kalyani gets married in the first year of her college. All the way to this point she has come on her own. Growing up in a suburban place has its own challenges.
Ajanta’s family and education:
Ajanta’s father was a DSP. Thus, making him a bit conservative. She grew up with a younger brother. The girl studied at Kalyani Viswa Vidyalaya and got married in her first year of college. Later, she completed her graduation from Balurghat college. She went on to complete her M.A in Bengali from Vidyasagar University. This will surely inspire, girls who get married young and give excuses for not completing studies. Take a cue from Ajanta. Where there is a will, surely there must be a way.
Moreover, she had dreams to pursue Fashion Designing. However, that never happened. With marriage, comes responsibilities and a child is a blessing in disguise. Ajanta also managed to squeeze in some time to teach in a school when her son was about 2.5 yrs. However, she had to quit, as she thought that she was doing injustice to her son. The baby needed her the most at that stage. Her husband is a Vet. In present times, you will be surprised to hear her son’s age. He is all of 18 now. Ajanta’s sacrifice paid off, as he ranked 8th in the All India CBSE exams from DPS, Ruby Park.

Her achievements:
She has many untold dreams, which she wants to fulfil them now. Her husband and son support her, in all her endeavours. That is a bit of good news, as many women lack this support even today. She has managed to step out of the shadows of the identity crisis by winning the Mrs Title in King’s Queen beauty pageant a year back. She also went on to participate in Miss and Mrs Bengal 2019. But she quit in the final round, as was already a title winner. She also won the Woman Achiever Award in King’s Queen.
The good news is that she has started getting offers to act in serials and short films. That is quite a development. Moreover, she also wants to get involved in social work and do something for the underprivileged. She sings, dances at home and also loves to draw. Moreover, she kept on practising drawing in her son’s practical copies till the board exams.
To her life means – “A journey or a beautiful picture. See it the way you want to and move forward.”
Ajanta says, that her only wish is to be known as ‘Ajanta’. She is fighting hard to create an identity of her own. Her message to all women, “Fulfill your wishes. Nobody but, you can do it.” Moreover, she is asking all married women to start giving life to their hobbies and start something. It is not bad to love your family and sacrifice for them. However, getting lost in the crowd can leave a woman helpless during trying times. So, women need to fulfil their desires as well.
Her message:
[quotes quotes_style=”bpull” quotes_pos=”center”]The enthusiastic woman says, “Today, times are easy. There are so many platforms for married women. Woman Times is one of them. During the hard times, that each one us are facing, we all must be positive. You have to be ready for anything, in life. That is what this COVID 19 is teaching us. I request everyone to lend a helping hand to all the underprivileged people during the pandemic. That is the only way to fight the virus.”[/quotes]
Moreover, she says that her friends have supported her a lot on her journey. They always push her, to give her best. And, she is very happy about that. How many friends do that today? Very few, we guess. Her son is the biggest support today. He encourages her to make up for the lost time.
Therefore, seeing a woman striving so hard to regain lost identity is truly commendable. All women should see this as a silver lining in the sky. Strive for the better, at any stage in life. Moreover, today age is just a number. There is no age for achieving success. One woman does it at 20 years, one at 30 years and another at 35 plus. That is the only difference. So, all women should take some inspiration from Ajanta Panda and forge ahead.
