UNCERTAIN PLACES, DREAMS AND REALITIES

Uncertainty is all what urban migration is all about.

- Shivani and Samriti

Migrating from one place to another is not a new phenomenon. People have moved from one place to another for various reasons, be it in search of a better life, more money, or a better climate to live in etc. In our history lessons we have learnt about great travellers like Vasco Da Gama, Christopher Columbus, Nicolo Conti, who travelled around the world and made a name for themselves. But unfortunately we do not see many women travellers in history. But the times have changed, and women are travelling more. They are looking for jobs, or education, and money.

Reasons behind catching a train to the city are Dreams, Desires, Ambitions and Career.

It may be expectations of a greater livelihood, educational opportunities, moving away from conflicts at home, or dreams for a glamorous life. Migration is one process which helps in changing the fabrics of the society. Along with this the demography of the place also changes and it brings business and culture to the city. But the question is how it impacts women from villages and small towns. The city will become the reason behind their enlightenment, and knowledge. This knowledge would help them to be a part of this new city.
