today is international women's day...
i am 26 something and i feel i am now "a woman" and no more a girl...i have been going through many tides...lows and ups....life has been a huge roller coster ride for me...if i have seen the toughest days in my life...i have also seen success in many ways...so i believe in accepting the life as it comes to me....sometimes i am pissed off...sometimes i am thankful...am atlast confused....am now in a stage of life where i dont know what i want ....many factors are effecting me...from relationships to matters of hearts....from extra-marital affairs to economic factors..life has become turbulent...i understood that life of a woman is as chaotic as that of a man....well onething that i learnt is that to be strong and dynamic....
and now since morning....i have been receiving calls of HAPPY WOMEN'S DAY!!!!
huh i dont like to be wished....i believe in equal rights and say that if there is a women's day there should be a men's day as well...i might sound strange but i mean it....
yes, we do still live in a male dominant society but for me its an individual thing to prove oneself...if we have the talent and substance in us, no force can stop us.
many men take me as a feminist as i sound strong in my opinions..yes i am strong enough to be defeated and i can challenge male ego....but i dont do this with everyone.
for me sexual harrasments at work place, domestic abuses, eve teasings etc are nothing but the results of being weak...if a woman is strong and is self defensive...no one can harm her....
hey hang on...i know am sounding a bit philo....well there is another side of the story as well...
no one wants a strong gf...huh...sad me....all alone...i look ok ok types and no idea why men run away from me....may be i give them an assumption that i am too rude or whatever...off-late my mom is asking me to be a bit soft and inclusive...huh....
am a bit confused in life now....

Dont you worry. You will understand the positive side of being tough. Well, you be what you are lady. :) Just because someone is not approving of you doesn't mean that you are wrong, it means that you are not what they are looking for.
the men vs the women battle is going on for ages and now the third race is soon catching upp.. have ta do something abt it..
In some fields the equation workz the other way ....

Hello there.... first time here through fav blogs...
Quite an honest and thought stirring post... in my view, if you are a strong woman, so be it... cos thats what makes you unique...
if that scares many guys away, its their misfortune... not yours :) sometimes, when one speaks the mind out, it may appear rude to many.. but hey, such words are just the cold truth...
Nice lil blog here.. will be back... take care.. enjoy your evening... cheers...

U r very right in saying that women are sometimes very weak and that's why they are taken as granted.
Hi Swats,
Very nice post n thought provocative. Men and women both need each other.This i realised more when i left India n came here in UAE for my job. Dear it is not only for sex. Man poses that he is very brave, ofcourse he is, but not as brave as woman is emotionally. He needs more comforting words to remind that he is brave. That braveness can be given by a woman only. I m a design engineer. in my proffession somany up n dwns will come day by day. some of them i discuss with my wife n i get motivated(ready to make mistakes...:)). Chala ekkuva ga rashanu kada...ok...anyways..
I m successfully married for 10 yrs n sure i'll b successful in my marriage till death aparts us.

@rebel- ofo...u r my cutest reader!!!
@ phaneendra- thanks for landing on my blog...you can very well know me...keep reading
@ CM chap- thanks for letting us know when is world Men's day- lets celebrate it hence forth..but see how strange it is...Nov 19 is the birthday of Late Mrs Indira Gandhi, sushmita Sen and Rani Jhansi Lakshmi Bai...hahahah such a coincidence..lol
@ arv- hanks for the comment Arv- i wish someone is not scared of me..lol
@ arpita- truely said...but even men think that women are strong too...so it depends on how we present ourselves..
@ Nawaz- your life sounds as an inspiration to many...keep going...many people need stories of your kind where marriage works...wish you good luck buddy :)
Male ego , male supremacy, male chauvinism etc are words created by either weak females or ignorant males. Women have been assets to men. Not just now but since times immemorial.Women stayed at home but dictated.Men spent time outdoors to keep their WOMEN HAPPY.Did any woman build anything like TAJ MAHAL for her husband.?
I see why you hate women's day.. I guess celebrating the day is accepting the weakness..
Anyway, i really don't like the concept of fixed days for celebrations..
Being strong doesn't mean being rude.. I hope u find ur man :)
