There are some themes that are so predominant in the female life, that one woman's story is every woman's story. Women often have to make a choice between home and family on the one hand and career on the other. It can so happen that despite trying their best, it is just not possible to do justice to both. And career is the part, that suffers more often than not.
This poem by Jayshree Misra Tripathi is an example of exactly that. Her husband's job entailed changing geographies, and as a result, she was constantly moving with him. In the poem, she wonders what it would have been like to have her feet planted firmly in one place and witnessed far greater professional progression.
