When i sit back and think about the most beautiful things that
happened to me, but obvious my sister comes to my mind.
There are so many relationships in this world that we cherish
but most of it are not something that we always had or grew up with.
Growing up with a sister is such a special thing .....
ask those who yearn for one and only they would tell you what they crave
ask someone who have parted being the sisters of each other's heart
in to a marital bliss and they would tell you what they miss in life ...
Being a Sister is so very special!!
Sisterly bonds go beyond friendship and kinship
Sisters are always there for each other as a friend,guide
and even become a saviour for each other.
Is this why we fondly started calling the Nun & the Nurse "SISTER" ??

"Not without my daughter"
I was watching this movie "Not without my daughther " recently
This movie was so interesting that it kept me glued to the
television inpsite of the numerous commercial breaks inbetween.
It was such a beautiful movie narrating the life of an american wife
married to a muslim man in Iran.I would rather call it a movie depiciting
a life that was lost in the name of love .
As this woman trusts her husband so much and agrees to pay a visit
to her extended family of inlaws in Iran. She does this to please
her husband as she truly loves him. And all she gets in return was "SLAVERY"
Her husband shocks her by saying that they are not going to return to
America and he is going to have a job in Iran.She is shaken as she is unable
to imagine raising her daughter in a country which does not respect women
and gives them their freedom.
She foresees the 7 year love marriage falling apart
She is being forced to stay back inside the house and not even
allowed to answer her parent's calls.Added to that she is expected to wear the
burka and read the Holy Koran
My heart ached to see her struggles as it gets worse when she
is being told that any woman married to an Iranian automatically
becomes an Iranian and incase of a divorce the child rights goes
to the father .This leaves her in direstraits as she cannot go back to
America with her daughter without her husband's consent.
She determines to go back "NOT WITHOUT HER DAUGHTER"
and the struggle to get back to her home begins here.....!!
This movie is a must watch as it is inspired by the real life
of hundreds of women living in Iran who are still going through
this horrible life .
The movie instigates my thinking in so many ways..
about women and how they want to please the ones they love
about Iran a country which shocks me for its blinded faith
and still thinking why Islam does not give its women their due importance!!

Single Woman
Single !!!
I have used this word more frequently in the last few months ...!
As u know ,any woman in her late 20's has to answer some
mandatory questions ...the most common question would be
" Oh ..u are n't married ...single?? U have a boy friend??"
well....why aren't we able to relate to single women?
on the contrary ..we adore the bachelors ya single men
telling them "Lucky man ....you have made the right decision "
Being single at a considerable age .... i have faced many unpleasant situations
whether it be flirtatious behaviour from married men ya answering those
series of questions from people who are so much interested in my personal life..
tat keeps me wondering ...whats the plight of women who have
chosen to stay single for the rest of their lives??
Kudos to them ...!!
We may be nearing the 60th year of independance but
i wud say that still single women who want to be
independant do not enjoy their complete freedom in our country
