MENSTRUAL TABOO

In India , menstruating women are considered as impure and unclean . And I being an Indian girl has to follow certain rules during those days like I'm not allowed to worship God or to touch anything that shall be given as an offering to God and even not allowed to touch anyone . We are also restricted to enter the kitchen or do any household work and advised to seclude ourselves . Though I hate the fact that we are been treated as untouchables , I enjoy twisting others around my little finger . Apart from that I get time to spend with myself . But whatever may be the reason behind these superstitions , the ladies who used to work so hard during the month would get a well-earned rest during this period of time . And the last and the foremost thing is that I'm not ashamed of talking this out here and I feel proud being a girl .
