So I am being flooded with messages everywhere for Women's Day!
Whatsapp, SMS, FB, BBM... and Google too!!! And one thought that has
been in my mind since last evening is that why is there one special day
for women - which is half the humanity or more! This post does not aim
at any kind of intellectual masturbation or try and be feminist in any
nature... So be warned if you are looking for some fodder for your
sleeping brains on this Saturday morning. Just read this and let it
settle in your mind!
We are all human species - regenerated from the same gene from eons ago. Men and Women - The Yin and yang can be thought of as complementary forces interacting to form a dynamic system in which the whole is greater than the parts.
So all I wish to convey today is that... No, Women are not born into this world with pre-loaded softwares to grow into the several roles that are expected from them. Whatever we do for the people in our lives is out of our love and willingness and we wish to not be 'coerced' or 'forced' just because as women we are expected to be perfect and dutifully 'fulfill several roles'.
I wish that men really start seeing us as equal Human Beings primarily and make efforts to catch up with us, be able to multi-task better than we can and start claiming some more importance from the world... so that one day, we also have a 'Men's Day' to celebrate for all the things you do for the women in your lives!!! Imagine in some years from now, the messages would read something like this:
From school boys to strong career men to Rocking Dads... The journey has been nothing less than a rollercoaster ride.
You are beautiful in your own way. You bake, you burn, you laugh and you learn.
You sing, you dance like no one's watching, you can discuss recipes and world affairs with ease as you mow the lawns.
You work hard and build our home together and you care and partner your woman in every goal.
Though life is tough with you, it is also incomplete without you!
Happy Men's day!
