From a wedding I went to recently...

when people ask me what my greatest regret is my biggest regrest is being born a woman!!

now that might be a bit dramatic... but i genuinely feel being born a woman is the biggest drawback God can give anyone... so I completely appreciate it when a woman makes it on her own in life... even the women who have had the support of the husband or father, they would also face a lot of issues in life...

first off is the expectation that kills a woman... you are expected to fit a certain mould... you are supposed to be soft, humane, caring, a good cook, do the household maths efficiently, know how to make a child stop crying, be feminine, be coy, be in the background and be supportive of her man... and if god forbid you have deviated from these, you are ofcourse branded as a deviant ... and then ofcourse there is the eternal pressure to fit into the roles of a "good wife" and a "good mother"... for woman, this more than anything else drags her down.. in an effort to conform, she gives up her job and plunges herself into her new role.... all the time carrying the heavy load on her head of having become completely defunct in the real world... and seeing her peers (men and women) race ahead of her in fame and money... and then ofcourse there is the imminent threat of violence in her life ... be it rape, being molested, being beaten, being locked up....

now with all that, is it any surprise that women choose to remain in the background???

Frankly Manu was right.... the biggest curse in life is to be borne a woman... you were really bad in your previous life to deserve this existence as a woman...
 

be prepared to turn your back on something that just gives you negativity...

Just saw the shocking news about the summary execution of the son of LTTE supremo's son Prabhakaran.... a 12 year old boy... same age as Christy... in the picture he sits like any other 12 year old waiting for something or someone.... and in the next picture he is lying dead...

its inhuman to say the least...a small boy killed only cos he is the son of someone... is that justifiable in any case?? was it not possible to show compassion???

Finally, what was Prabhakaran doing including his son in the war zone.. shame on him...

OMGGG... I see the VHP, BJP and RSS going the hinduvata way... a really retro step to get the votes back in...

I was hoping for a mature BJP to come and fight it out... why do they just not see this as being detrimental to India? focusing on religion to get the attention....

on the other hand I am hoping that this will alienate the entire country and they will not get to power... I am also scared that it may not that way and the BJP and its allies will come to power with a thumping majority...

why is politics so complicated???

I confuse myself sometimes......

Failure is the most underrated experience in the world!!

What failure does for you no one or thing can do for you... it is the most essential part of development and success.... yet we fear failure the most... why? cos we are not sure whether this failure means the end of our efforts....

you know what... it means the end only if you decide it is the end....

A friend who was going through a bitter break up told me that after having a cloud hanging over for the last 2 years, finally saw beauty all around one fine day.... and the world just appeared more beautiful and peaceful....

its a breakthrough that everyone one of us has gone through at least once in their lives... and in my view its a milestone in ones life... when you put the pieces of your life back together and rise up again....
