Womens day-a day to ponder!

Here comes again...a day where the women rock and all the poor men look at us in an utter dismay...its womens day!!

All the women in my department are dressed in saree's ;some in ethnic ones,some in their own traditional style and yet another representing an epitome of modernism.

There is an atmosphere full of cheer, merrism and colours.

No one seems to be working , groups of ppl are seen on alternate desks with small bursts of laughter at intervals.

Its the time to celebrate ;a day to pay tribute -to the nucleus and the core formers of the society-to womenhood!

Well looking at the happy faces-i begin analysing the essence of all this-of womens day!

Is there any true meaning that it holds?Does the society really give the women their due respect?Are we ourselves able to go out and achive whatever we want?
Are we allowed to take up a career of our choice?Are we able to express ourselves and voice out our opinions as freely as men are able to?Do we have a choice at all?

Well i dont think it will take even a second to get an answer to all these-its straight and simple.

The truth remains that even today,as the society boasts of being equal,of women having equal rights, at being at par with the men,the hard core mentality of most people remains the same.

If the change really has to be made,it has to be from the core.Just by getting out n trying to prove to others that we are something,would not make us that.

We have to believe in womenism. Others have to believe in it.They need to understand the role that a women plays and come to respect it not just in words but in actions and in attitude.The fact that a women plays (and plays it well to-)so many roles that a man cant even think of. She is a mother, a wife, a daughter, a friend, a daughter-in-law, a homemaker…n finally a professional and she potrays all of these roles with full sincerity.

She gives her entire self,just to bring a smile on her childs face or just for the good of her family.She sacrifices,compromises,gives-and all that unconditionally.

So the bottom line is, if womenhood has to be celebrated, first there is a need to respect her basic self- only then comes the question of what has been or can be achieved by todays modern women.

Womenhood does not lie in being successful-it lies in the spirit of just being a women!
