Everyone lives their lives within the framework of society, but beyond that framework there is a world in which very few dare to venture. In the case of Indian women, these things are taboo. It is often seen that no matter what efforts a woman makes, the society puts her finger on her footsteps instead of supporting her. If the thing is related to the adventure field, then those eyebrows are raised even more. When a woman takes on the responsibility of motherhood, crossing the threshold of the house and maintaining her interests related to the adventure field, it is an impossible thing. But at the same time, two mother-daughter pairs who live out those adventurous dreams of their choice with their daughters are the epitome of Durga Shakti today. Because she defied the constraints of society and created a unique mark in the adventure field, setting an exemplary example of what an Indian woman can do to both the old and new generations.
The first of these is the mother-daughter story of Shivani Prithvi and Deepti Prithvi. The Story Begins When Shivani Prithvi was 5 years old, she inherited racing from her father. Her father was famous as a sports racing driver in the 90s. At the age of 5, Shivani took part in a roller skating competition and demonstrated his passion for this sport. Taking part in various racing competitions, Shivani won many medals in state level competitions. After her school life, she set her sights on becoming a doctor. Even while studying medicine, her passion for racing did not allow her to sit still. She expressed her desire to her father during the vacation after passing her second year M.B.B.S. exam. Her father made her realize that the driving skills required for rally car racing are different. Shivani easily passed the exam conducted by her father. She had the innate qualities of a racing driver. But the real trouble was ahead. She needed a co-driver. Such a companion will properly guide her to the next turn and the right road. A fellow driver plays a huge role in any racing success. Since Shivani is new, no one refuses to be her colleague.
Her mother i.e. Deepti Prithvi who is a doctor by profession recognized her problem. In the operation room, hands and eyes were on Deepti who were operating on the human body. Every second was important to her. But the idea of competing in a racing car at the age of fifty was revolutionary. But as a mother, she knew that her daughter would never get a better assistant driver than her. Because one mistake on the part of the assistant driver and a car accident is a definite equation. From there began a different journey behind the steering wheel. Two racers, Shivani and Deepti, were preparing for the competition by wearing 7 layers of safety clothing and helmets for hours and hours and doing difficult turns. It would be surprising if the society did not criticize his steps. Now at this age? From such comments, they ruined the girl's life, Does racing fill you up? Such and various suggestions began. But despite all of them, both of them continued their practice. In 2018, Shivani and Deepti took part in an autocross competition, where they finished second. In the Volkswagen India Ameo Cup competition, they achieved the pole position leaving behind the rest of the racers. Responding to public criticism, Shivani earned a doctorate and continued his post-graduate studies.
Another story is that of Audrey Maben and Amy Mehta, a mother-daughter duo from Mysore. The story begins when 6-year-old Audrey Maben in Nashik sees a fighter jet flying overhead. The jet that disappears overhead in an instant is forever etched in the mind of 6-year-old Audrey Maben. The flow of sky starts from there. At the age of 15, as an NCC cadet, she made her first ever connection with the air with the help of a glider. From there begins a journey down a road that no woman has ever thought of. Audrey Maben has etched her name in the pages of history as India's first microlight aircraft instructor.
Nowadays, when a woman is pregnant, she is often told to take bed rest. But Audrey Maben did not fit this principle. When she was 8.5 months pregnant, she flew a cross-country flight for 4 hours with her unborn baby. She did this feat while taking care of her stomach which came forward wearing a men's diaper. Perhaps like Abhimanyu, Amy, who was in her womb at that time, was connected to Akash by her mother forever. Going forward, mother and daughter embarked on a journey that no one could even imagine. That journey means covering more than 37,000 kilometers across 21 countries in 80 days. Audrey Maben is the first Indian woman to get the country's first motor gliding license. Following in her mother's footsteps, Amy has also tied her relationship with flying.
The mother-daughter duo of Audrey Maben and Amy Mehta and Shivani Prithvi and Deepti Prithvi set a different example of Durga Shakti. On the one hand, a girl makes her mother's passion her passion, on the other hand, a mother makes her daughter's passion her passion, and both of them encourage each other and scale the heights of success, presenting a different image of the Indian woman to the world. Fields like motor racing or Microlight piloting were hitherto excluded from the Indian woman. These two mother-daughter pairs have shown that even in a male-dominated field, a woman can plant arresting flags with her achievements. My warmest salute to all of them who put forward a different form of Durga Shakti and best wishes for their future journey.
