There is a huge hungama going around in my apartment for Women’s Day. (As always they are making the best use of this day….) Lots of fun, chat, shopping and obviously money…
So has the world changed for Women…are we really liberated…do we have equal rights????
The answer might be yes (and we are showing that by celebrating this day!!!!)
The fact is ‘The world remains the same and just women have changed’….
To some extent liberation has helped us to come out of our nut shell and see the real world, explore great opportunities, live our own life etc..etc…But are we doing justice in the roles we play and the great emotions that are built in with us.
I had an excellent childhood days, loving parents, great friends, caring relatives, well wishing neighbors.
This generation is devoid of all these gifts, we have lost it for them in our race behind money.
They are highly influenced by western lifestyle and parents too busy to guide them in their cultural path...
I still remember my mom eagerly waiting for me to come back from school, ready with health drink & Snack the moment I come back after refreshing, interested to hear my school/college stories, ready with proactive advices taking instances of neighbors kids :)
I feel so sad that me being so liberated(!!!) and so much into corporate world now, I will not be in a position to give my son all these small but great happiness....Its good we now have all the freedom to think, talk, act, decide, follow etc etc….but in achieving this we have forgotten the below
**Gentle and pleasant morning/evening time with family
**Family get-together during dinner time.
**Cooking delicious food for family
**Play time with kids during week days… (hard to see them go to day care/play/pre-school)
**Listening time to our parents/in-laws/elders at home
So end of the day we might be good Entrepreneur/Manager/Techy whatsoever but no more a proud HomeMaker/Mom/Wife/Daughter. Some would argue if anyone is best at time management we would manage work-life balance. That is IMPOSSIBLE…you can just decide where and when you would want to compromise what and act accordingly…That’s it…
I envy house wives at times and feel pity on their sacrifices at other instance. Envy them for having to spend more time with family and pity them for narrowing down the whole world within four walls of their home…(separate topic to be blogged :)
Having discussed all these, now what choice does every women want to take…???
OPEN ENDED QUESTION :)
