Sketchy love – Chapter 1.

Strange thoughts

That day was supposed to be the most important and momentous day of her life because it was her first day to college. She woke up wearing a big smile on her face with a light red glow on cheeks reflecting through her vivid eyes. She dreamt how her life is going to change as she’s going to college. At that time, she had no idea what life had in storefor her, for the next four years. Now she considered all those years gone by as lessons which altered her life completely. Okay! Let’s roll to the moment. She had been feeling the best feeling of being alive. She thanks god for the life she was living. She was so happy and was on cloud nine. The ambience of her room was turned all of a sudden and some kind of energy ushered in, sanguine. She then, left the bed…

It’s a Man’s World

Am I being sexist…..I don’t think so….I am a woman n proud to be one. But I tell you all to accept that it’s a man’s world.Why????well…they have earned it…..yes…..that’s it.If you want it to be a woman’s world……well…it’s simple…..earn it.A woman must teach another woman to make it her world. How???? By making them independent. Our society especially our Indian society at present mostly teaches women only to dream of a good husband who must be earning handsome amount of money to support her, to fulfill all her desires and demands. And she is made to believe that such a man will respect her for her role as a home maker. But sadly that’s not the scenario in today’s world. You will rarely find a man who will respect you being a home maker. He will think of himself as the boss of the house and the woman to be her subordinate. He will take all the major decisions of the house by himself without even consulting the soul that makes his house a home. The home maker will be at his mercy. She will be given a life full of choices only if the boss of the house chooses so. Otherwise she will have to make do with the choices that the boss of the house makes for her. I feel that previous generations had the better understanding of relationships. Husbands respected their wives as home makers and gave them their due…..or am I wrong here…..the previous women generations actually tolerated the attitude of their bosses without complaining. Because they were raised that way…..only to surrender to their bosses. But now with all the talk of women empowerment, we are not so tolerant and we should not be. But I tell you not to cry foul…..without doing your homework. Make your daughters and sisters study hard, prove their worth before marrying them off. Don’t give them illusionary world of goodies…..don’t make them dream of a handsome prince…..who will one day come and sweep them off their feet…..rather tell them to hold their head high by inculcating self esteem in them. Make them worry about their careers…..give them career goals, like you would give to your son. First let her stand on her feet, then let her find her soulmate , who would respect her for what she is and not judge her for what she is not…..then they can decide together whether she should be a homemaker or they can both decide to build their home together…..by completing each other…..playing the role of home maker and breadwinner equally…..then it will be a world of both of them. And it will not be a man’s world or a woman’s world.
