Happy Women's Day

Yes its one more of those 'days'. This one is for the women (or so they say). A day when you would receive yet another crafted e-mail about why it is that you should salute the spirit of women. All your guy friends will either wish you or if they are real close friends, will make fun of you. There will be completely unnecessary debates about why there is no Men's Day. When in school, it used to be even worse, being put in the category of 'women' when you were still just a girl :P It was confusing. Then there would be this odd guy whose birthday would fall on Women's day who would be teased to their wit's end. While you are forwarding the mailers, and texting friends, and feeling both happy and angry, you try to guage your real emotion behind it. So why is it that you feel happy? Maybe because this is the day people appreciate the care economy. When they, even if it is for namesake talk about contribution of women to the world, their current status in society...

Finally...

This word seems to have a lot of importance in my life. In all of ours actually. How many times have you exclaimed this word. And in what all different emotions. Happiness, Euphoria, Relief, Joy, sometimes Hope and sometimes Destiny its meant so many things at different times Today, its simply my ability to move beyond the title, and start my journey of writing. One more step towards being myself and staying myself :) I love this feeling :)
