Unraveling the 'WOE' from the Woman

Its Woman's Day Today.
The papers are splashed with articles about women-empowerment,the feminine go-getters,the 'must achieve it' personalities who have been there and done that.
The media is going gung-ho about women emancipation and the massive improvement in that sector.
All for one day..
The stories get buried to emerge only on March 8th next year.
The papers will continue publishing their gory dowry harrassment,female infanticide stories from tomorrow.
Does this mean that tomorrow is yet another Man-day?
Should not this be a topic for thought cum action through out the year instead of just one day ?
I think it should..
What we need is a collective,concentrated effort to drive home the point that women do have the liberty to choose,point and lead a good life..
The situation is much better in the middle class segment..But the lower classes still function the same.
The women here are still uncared,unconsidered for.
Its time they woke up to the fact that we are no more just an offshoot of all the problems men face..
Why should our roles be always defined in context to some..
We are so much more than a daughter/wife/sister/mother to someone.
We have a voice,we do have a say.
The only thing we require is the freedom to say it..
We need an awakening of sorts.A revolution which is one of its kind.
And what better way to start this than by practising this in our own humble abodes..
Baby steps will do the trick.
House maids,kitchen helpers,vegetable vendors,flower sellers..
Help in bits.help just a bit..
Listen,share,inform,educate..
Join the army..Lets make India truly shining and bright..
As always happy Living.. !

Life's Like That

Just when you think that you have achieved it all,seen all possible grim situations there ever could be and managed to retain your calm ,have achieved the so-called paradise realm of bliss,out comes a situation which has you in shackles again...
You  go back to square one...You go back to your set of prejudices and world of thought..
You go back to start thinking all over..
Funny though, because it was your thinking which made you land here in the first place..
We are what we think we are..Its all about mind conditioning.
If you think you are strong,so you are..If you think you cannot face defeat,no you definitely cant.
The mind is the most volatile substance ever...Its the most mobile matter...Can be in India at one minute.at Honolulu the next..
It jumps,crawls,sinks,ebbs,swells all in a span of a day..
Sometimes it spirals out of control and leads you with it..
Today was a similar day for me..
Negative,Ultra sinister thoughts clouding my mind..
Blocking my passage to clear thought..
Obstructing my view towards life..
Demoraling me ,choking me..
Time to Unplug,Unwind,Undo,Usher in something new.
Let loose my inhibitions,think of everything pleasant that has happened to me all this while..
Think of my strengths and positives ..
The goals I have achieved so far,my dreams/Aspirations for the years to come by..
Slowly but surely,I emerge out of the cloud of uncertainity.
Sanity prevails.
Guys,Am back..
