live life your way, its urs!


Well I want to speak about
‘women’
in this article; since I am a female most of you must be expecting this is another female who would speak about equal rights or about male chauvinism. Well, that’s not the point here it’s a complete fact that women are weaker physically.
As the early men used to hunt wild animals not women and that is what has been followed even today, coz in most of the orthodox Indian families it makes so much sense that the head of the family(male) is the bread winner of the family. But tell me if men still hunt wild animals for food, absolutely no! (The truth is we are even scared to visit a jungle)
And the tradition still goes on to believe that women are not capable to handle business, not capable to understand the world better, (well some think women are bad drivers too!).
But the only constant is change, life changes- so does a women’s fate, now that she has broken the shell and has understood the meaning of freedom, the meaning of being independent, now she believes she can do much more than cooking. And all the struggle for women rights and equality has given some results, as much as to take the girl higher in the education ladder and also the corporate ladder. But people have a little idea what exactly happens here, we have freedom to work now but do not have the courage to say no if our boss calls us early to office or leaves later than office hours, we don’t dare to say shut up if someone is speaking rubbish, we don’t dare to slap the person who speaks the vulgar language, why? Answer is simple-that we fear what might happen if I did that.
If you as a women really want freedom it does not come in big revolutions, it does not come by forming societies or fighting for rights, freedom starts in your heart, try to live a life where you can proudly say I lived life on my terms, you need not struggle for another woman’s problem, ask your heart if you were never the prey of such men who think they can do anything for the simple reason that women don revolt back.
Education starts at home, and a revolution starts from your heart, when there is a woman behind every man’s success, there sure is a man behind every woman’s success, since we begin to grow when we fight back, or we stay where we are like how a typical Indian house wife is. And the fact is, its not men who have made a woman’s life miserable, its woman herself.
Never compromise on your education, career, or your life partner, what you need to do is in your hands it’s not in the rules. Your dad may be your guardian now, and later your husband but you are the guardian to your heart. No one can stop you being yourself and if you really can’t fight to live your own life there is just no meaning to your living.
When you fight a battle called life, don’t worry about the opponent’s army size at least give a try to fight it.” You die once if you loose the battle at least you don’t die everyday living a coward’s life.
“Live life queen-size”, after all you live only once.

"Some of these women ask to be raped by the way they dress" or "she should not study more.. it will make it difficult for us to find her a husband" are few sound bites I have come across. Incredibly, the first was from my friend's sister couple of years back and the later from an other friend's mother a month ago.

I liked your blog. You did not talk about men being pigs... we probably are :) but I feel women are a woman's greatest enemy. And yeah, as most fights do.. it starts from within.
