My inbox is flooded today with messages of Happy Women's day.. That make me wonder,,, why is there a rush to wish this day in particular...
What do we wish ,,, holidays, birthdays, achievements, festivities... they come once a year and go... We wish something so that we remember something special is there on that day..
Wishing this day means,, One is following the tradition of posting anything they receive, which in itself is sad. Without understanding what you are doing and why you are doing makes no sense.
or their might be people who understand what Women's day actually means... Then thats even more depressing. You tend to remind a women that she is a women .. Is this something she can forget or is it something she is entitled to celebrate only once a year.
There are messages sharing that women sacrifice a lot.. I wonder if being a women made her sacrifice... or its the normal pattern of life.. a tree bears fruits and sacrifices it for others, the chicken goes to satisfy your hunger, the earth bears your load ... and changing names,, I dont think its our tradition to change names,, I dont find any reference that Sita or Kunti had different surnames before and after marriage.
The people who forward these messages are not from the conservative society that still prevails in parts of our society. They claim to be learned, educated, open minded..... and still refer us as Women engineers rather that Engineers, Lady doctors rather than Doctor, Women police officer rather than police officer. A post doesn't have a gender associated with it, because it is not meant to be.
We are meant to fulfill our purpose for which we have taken birth. What we do and how we do matters not that the work done by a women is great and the same work done by men are normal.
If you Men and believe that Women are also human, stop reminding them that they are women and its an alm that you are giving by giving them respect.
If you are Women and reading this post, I am sure you dont belong to the place where you cant even take a breath without notice, so stop pitying on yourself for a life full of sacrifices. You are free to choose the way you want to live. If its your choice, then you have not sacrificed. If not, then you have to look again into yourself. If you are alive you have a choice.
I am a Mother, a Sister, a Daughter, a Wife, a friend, and an Engineer,,, but not a Women Engineer!
