What She thinks of Him!

Women this and women that. Everywhere there are sagas of women in distress. Enough of all that, I was tired of seeing and reading so much ill about women that it made me write this article. I wanted to give a piece of my mind to all those men who think women are dirt. I started thinking about how women were perceived by men from time immemorial. Never was a women asked how they perceived a man. Now I get it why.

                                    

“We are nothing for you. We are not important”. “We should stick to reproducing and making food”. “We have no choice but to depend on you”. That’s what you men think about women. Now here is what women think about you men.

·        You have taken birth from a woman’s body. So if you think we are nothing but “per ki jooti” (footwear) then your birth has taken place from that “jooti” (footwear) itself. Now where would you place yourself?

·        You think we need to cover our bodies with veils of all sorts. Why is that? Just because your kinds can’t keep their lust in control? Now who is weaker?

·        We are not allowed to take important decisions. You say: “Don’t use your brains”. Yes, because if we did you people would face some tough competition.Therefore, you make us feel like we are dumb chicks.

·        After a bad breakup why don’t you people go and cry in front of your dads? Why do you need a mother to wipe your tears? The same mother who was silenced when she tried to talk between the conversations you and your dad had the other day.

·        You think that the world’s best chefs are men. Go and ask them their inspiration. There would be no mention of a dad or a grand dad in there.

·        Women are dependent on us financially. Really? We have proved that wrong many years ago.

·        Education was just for men in olden days. Now we can see why that was so. The increasing number of girls scoring more than boys totally proves that even in academics we are better than you people.

·        Ever thought why always a man proposes a woman for marriage?  That too going on his knees. That’s because my friends we don’t need men to handle our things or families. It’s you who needs us to help and manage your things and families. Because guess what you people can’t even put your things on place. Now who is dependent?

·        And guess what? You need US, to get an offspring. If men are the superior sex, go get sons from a man’s body. 

·        Women are nothing but liabilities. Then why do men worship goddesses? So you are literally bowing your head in front of that person whom you thought was a “per ki jooti” (footwear).Great!

Even after reading everything I just mentioned you feel like “Nah, that’s rubbish”. Then let me tell you, you are just in denial. The next time you try to disrespect a women, you would sink even lower than us, then you already are. 

Having Parents, Still Orphans?

When I see today’s parents my mind is bombarded with several questions.  Where are those parents who were always there to watch you when you played, who solved your difficult math problems, who taught you dance steps for your annual dance competition? Where are those parents who reprimanded you when you told a lie or stole a fancy thing from your classmate? Those parents who read to you bedtime stories and kissed you goodnight are lost. I have seen those parents but now I can see them no more. It’s like they have hidden under the invisibility cloak

                In the era of instant connection, the connection between the parents and children is lost. In a bid to provide for all the material things to the children, parents work all day and all night; leaving their children with maids or babysitters who are illiterate and don’t care in the least about their child. Those maids or babysitters are people who don’t know a thing about the parents’ culture and about their systems and worst is that most of them are illiterate. Parents who consider those maids lower than themselves in intelligence, status and standards are basically giving them their children to raise. And here I am not talking about the poor or middle class people, here I am talking about those filthy rich people who can easily find time to be with their children and take proper care of them, but sadly they don’t.

Those parents who leave their children when they are sleeping at early dawn and arrive home when they are already put to bed; the only time they spend with them is when they get a holiday. How would those children ever know what parenting is and how parents are with their children? They wouldn’t because their parents are never around. Birth-Givers think that by providing lavish lifestyle and putting children in hi-fi schools they are showing to the world how much they love them. But they are children and not a person whom one can impress with fancy things. They crave for their parents attention and for their time, they want their parents to play with them and to listen to their crazy stories. But alas! They have to play with robotic machines instead.

                The reason behind all the nasty habits and behaviors and silly tantrums, we see in those children when they grow up, is that their parents were never there to teach them what was right and what was wrong. Those parents were busy in their own world when their children started on to the wrong path. These kinds of parents are the one who spoil their own child by their own hands. Spoon feeding them at all times. Instead of punishing the child for getting low marks and hence not getting admission in the college , they would tell their sons and daughters ‘not to worry ,I will get you in’. If they are capable enough to give pocket money to their children then why are they not capable in keeping an eagle’s eye on where they spend that money? Isn’t that necessary? Getting things before the right time comes and getting their problem solved the wrong way, those children do suffer a lot when life tests them. We many times blame people for not handling the situation well, we often tag them as stubborn or selfish this is because they were not brought up properly by their parents, they are not to be blamed.

                Soon I realized that the increase in the number of drug and binge addiction in young adolescent children and teenage girls getting pregnant was the result of negligence on the part of their parents. If they take interest in what their children are doing and where they are going, will such a thing never happen. It’s time for the youth to know that giving one’s child a luxurious lifestyle is not enough. Parents should give their children, parents they actually need and not what they think their children need.

At the end of the day, the most overwhelming key to a child's success is the positive involvement of parents. Jane D. Hull 

Are we letting our religion down?

A couple of days back I was surfing the famous social networking site and I read a status on the rape case, scrolling down I read the comments in the curiosity of what people had to say about it . What I found was very appalling for it did not contain comments related to the status. What I found to my complete astonishment was that people were arguing in the name of religion. Each of them typed out some really obnoxious comments about each other's religion and how injustice was meted out on their part. The arguments became intense to such an extent that they started abusing the opposite religion. Now was that right? I asked myself.

Does abusing each other’s religion make ours more dignified? Possibilities are nil. But it most definitely shows that it has not preached us properly, because if it did, people wouldn't be abusing each other's religion. I am no expert in the field of God or God praising but I do know that no religion teaches us such things.

Then why in the name of God are we fighting?  To protect one's religion is good, to favor what we have faith in, is also good, but to let it down in front of other religions? No, we possibly wouldn’t think of that. Astonishingly what we deny in our sub-conscious doesn't match our actions in the conscious state of mind. By speaking ill about other religions, we are letting our religion down. Almost all religions in the world emphasize the gains of forgiveness. A simple act of forgiveness can save a hundreds and billions of lives, which are taken in the name of religion. Yes, I do know it is very difficult to forgive somebody who has spoken ill about your faith, your God. But then again doesn't young India like challenges? (Don’t believe me? go watch Roadies audition). Why not to take it as a challenge? If we, the youth in television interviews and on many such occasions say that if given a chance we would change the world, then I say we have the chance Right Now!

My viewpoint doesn't support or oppose any religion or its followers but I, in my ability am trying to bring change to the stagnant mindsets of people. Gone are the days where an eye for an eye was justice. Then why the system still remains in our minds in some or the other way? If we for a second, for a minute do come out of the old mindset and see all religions in a respectable light, then we would surely be a stronger, a better, a united youth.

P.S: I do not intend to ridicule any belief or system related to religion. The above is my personal viewpoint. Any differing viewpoint is always welcomed in the comments section.
