Women’s day comes & celebrations galore! A day to
recognize, appreciate & acknowledge the lovely women around us who give
meaning to our lives – mothers, daughters, sisters, wives, teachers, friends,
nurses. Can’t imagine a life without them. Not to forget Mother Nature. As Geri
Helliwelli sings “God bless Mother Nature, she is a single woman too! She took
over heaven, and she did what she had to do!”

And how can we ignore ourselves? It’s a moment to take pride
in the girl inside who has come way ahead of being just the weaker sex. There
are times one is made to feel “You are a woman, you can’t do this”. It’s a moment
to celebrate the victory of women who have rose up from this “cant” to “you
have done it!”
Though the greatest woman in my life – my mother is not with
me today, I celebrate this day for having spent some wonderful years of my life
with such a rock solid woman. Thank u God! Every year on women’s day, she would
tell me about the conservative state of affairs during her times & would
appreciate the strength of countless women who have broken the boundaries &
come this far!
It’s also a celebration to the women who have the grit to
change the mindset of society, without even stepping out of their homes. I look
up to women like my mother in law, who, despite living in a conservative
society, nourished their dream of empowering the generations to come! And
because of such strong women, our generation has the much desired freedom to
chase & live our dreams.
While it’s a day of get togethers & parties for us, government
is trying its best too…trying to give us women our safety & security back,
which has faced a major threat in the recent times.
However, what good is a celebration when I pick up a tabloid
and read of a girl being raped right on women’s day! There are still some
thankless souls who, instead of acknowledging the women in their lives, abuse
their femininity shamelessly. The real celebration will be the day when the
respect comes for real, from inside & from all fronts. You can’t teach an
animal to become civilized in a day. But you can train them to follow step by step. And
the first step for such souls is to learn to respect their own women – their mothers,
wives & sisters who they openly take for granted. Only when they learn to
clean their house will they learn not to litter in public!
And hopefully, when such good times come, every day shall be
women’s day! A celebration of our love, freedom, success & dignity!
Here’s a song by Billy Joel to all the lovely women on this planet who make the world a much better place to live in!
