Lets Talk - Period Perfect!!!

Yes, it is that Taboo that wont go away!!! Shocking to know that its a Taboo even amongst the women. Why such an embarrassment, awkwardness and shame around a natural bodily function.Stop worrying and learn to speak more openly about them.

Hiding a sanitary napkins in our handbag and cautiously moving to the loo, worrying if someone sees it, isn't it rediculous!!! As if the evidence that we are in our that time of the month is something to be ashamed of.
Yes, periods can be a pain in the uterus, but don't let it be a  pain in our head, Though in any case painful body is the new cool during those days and nothing can be done except craving for dark choclates!!

Firstly, stop calling it a problem! Having a proper menstrual cycle is not a problem, not having them is what should be your matter of concern Man!!

Don't make a girl uncomfortable because of her period. Atleast not by giving her the paid leaves, as if the same is something which is unusual. How will you manage the paid leave of every girl every month, Please rather go and manage your GST queries!!
It sometimes gets difficult for a girl herself to follow her track, yes sometimes it gets Offtrack dude. How will these corporates announcing  paid leaves for their day of the month manage, probably by taking out one more App.  

It isn't a rocket science to understand period pain. yes, its hell. but doesn't need super extra care. Had that been the case, girls wouldn't have come so ahead of men getting into every field, right from being a house wife to the pilot for the fighter Jet.
Here is what is trending today evening!! Nothing can be worse than having a paid leave for our periods. Man, we were very well planned with our chores, do at any point of the month, any of your work got a set back. okay, set back due to menstrual cycle?? No, i guess. Would you plan your monthly book closures following our monthly cycle??

"Sea of blood", "Mountain of Pain", "Snack Bar", 'Undue cravings and confused mood Swings'. Yes we go through all these, but our schedules cannot be planned looking at it, Right? would that be a case, i would rather ask the attacking country to attack after 3 days, as Our girl pilot is in those days of her month, won't be able to counter attack wont find a better replacement. Or ask Sindhu, Saina Nehwal, Sania Mirza to take a back and rest, lets not dream for a win, since we cant change the game schedule we can offer you a leave. Or to those 11 Girls cricket Squad who won recently. May be "N" number of examples.

Pain is just a part of life, not once in a while. We are blessed with it, because we are worth it. Don't just consider it as our weakness, Its the strength, which you men cant even imagine!!!

No doubt, going so bold and writing about it takes a great deal of courage, still i am doubtful of posting it to all the men in my list. This is again the effect of the Taboo, remove this not the fear of pain. We don't need rest, we need to talk!!
