Being a woman!!!

Finally managed to write my blog post from my phone. whoa!! i wanted to write just about being a woman. Though the 21st century woman has more freedom than her ancestors,still some things have not changed for woman-not that am complaining about it-just concerned! some instances that remind me of how woman are still not on equal path would be typically a marriage or work scenario. i find it funny that still people have that upperhand feeling ifthey are from boy's side.And if girl's side makes their presence felt ,they would be termed as dominating family. i still remember some folks trying to sound suprised that there was no dowry or diamond demand for my wedding.And we are acting surprised and shocked for such normal situations -then is this about being equal? thank god for some sensible men in families that woman voices are heard but there are still woman who slog and clean toilets to earn their daily bread as husbands are busy drinking away to glory! Being a woman ia still not a blessing if you are born into a narrow minded or poor families where the family look at how much they have to spend on you and end of the day you wont earn back for them. But the good news is things are definitely changing but bad news is the pace and place at which it changes. On the contrary ,there are also woman who take the advancement and support system created to safeguard them for granted like the n number of false sexual harrasment /dowry harrasment accusations.Having gone through one such false allegation as a family myself - Where are the real womanly qualities of compassion ,care and tolerance ?? Did they just disappear in name of equality . I guess we need to draw a line between being equal and having the upper hand . If all women were to think of being the real Bharathi's Pudumai Pen begins in realizing your worth and creating equality around you for everyone including men and not in wearing miniskirts or sporting a bob cut and smoking away to show you have the freedom! Hope the Woman in you flourish for the better !! Happy Woman's Day:-)
