RESILIENT Women

Women, in India, since times immemorial have always suffered great atrocities in their way of living. Distressed, oppressed and looked upon were the values ascribed to women.

But with changing times, when the world was growing towards globalization, there was a reform in the thinking caps of the people also, and it converged a way for the betterment of womanhood across the countries.

Resilience refers to people’s ability to cope with, adapt to and rise above hardships and crisis.  It also refers to a cluster of interdependent capacities which function like a reservoir of stress-hardiness resources. With changing times, women have not only risen above their prescribed roles, but have instead moved a mile ahead of them.

The Indian woman's position in the society deteriorated during the medieval period when Sati, child marriages and a ban on widow remarriages became part of social life in India. As time evolved, various other factors in current generation bulged up, that constantly inhibited women’s growth to success. Primary being the kind of patriarchal – male dominant social order, that was the building block for them in their way towards business success. Also, women's family obligations bar them from becoming successful entrepreneurs in both developed and developing nations. "Having primary responsibility for children, home and older dependent family members, few women can devote all their time and energies to their business" is what the various financial institutions say on the pretext of goading women to rely on their own savings, or loan from their relatives and family friends only. Thus, despite the fact that women entrepreneurs are good in keeping their service prompt and delivery in time, due to lack of organizational skills, compared to male entrepreneurs, women have to face constraints from competition.

However, in a career filled with firsts and superlatives, ‘Oprah Winfrey’ is one big name that has managed to amass a sizable fortune and become one of the most powerful people in the entertainment industry, and yet maintain a sense of humility and compassion that we all should strive to achieve. In 1971 Oprah began her career in broadcasting at age 17 at radio station WVOL. By 19, she was anchoring the news at WTFV-TV, both the first African-American woman and the youngest person ever to do so. Soon she surpassed the local talk show and within a year it was renamed ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show.’

Another one to mention, is concerning the major Soft Drink Seller. We have a history behind ‘PepsiCo’ emerging as the top notch in the bygone years. It is currently on a binge--a $1.3 billion feast of acquisitions. But it's not for fat or sugar-laden products. Instead, Indra Nooyi, who's been CEO since 2006, has been culling from a menu of natural and organic snacks and drinks, that has led to this success.

These and many more instances uncovered yet here, women have attained a status equaled to that of man in this male chauvinistic society.

Hence, as a token of respect and gratitude towards all the women of this world, let us pay a homage to these delightful angels, on the occasion of Women’s day, by saluting to their ever fighting spirit and attitude of resilience. Women have carved a niche for them in this rebellious society and walked out of this pool of competence and hatred with flying colors.

We hope and pray that this ever lasting spirit continues to bubble up and spreads across the entire nation and we have many more of ‘Kiran Bedi’ and ‘Ritu Kumar’ fighting their way out through this male driven society and herd of men everywhere.

Long Live the Women of era and the generations to follow.

Dedicated, To all the Women, and To all the men who should know… !!!

A Women in its deepest cares is an angel of mercy and kindness.

A Women when in pain is an extreme source of power and momentum.

NO wind can wash her away and no sand can delineate her.

NO matter what comes and goes she stands firm with austerity inbound.

She is, the women of today.

She is the strength.

To all the mothers, I salute.

To all the working ladies, I salute.

It’s your day to rejoice and reminiscent the good old days spent and the past memories forgiven.

Be brave as you are.

Be kind as your being.

Never distress and surrender, the way you used to do, in past.

You have the opportunities now and the confidence to emerge yourself to the top.

I commemorate those who passed with good aura and wish goodness to those, living.

HAPPY WOMEN’S DAY

To my Pa..

We laugh we cry, we remember our motherhood,

We fall we get up, we remember Her.

In rain in shine, in shiver in emptiness,

We miss her so much. Gosh ! she Is such a being.

But why not somebody remember those unspoken eyes which were always watching us in every walk of ours.

Whether we were awake or deeply slept, those hands were always praying for our well being.

In despair in sorrow that firmness always stood besides us,

Bothering for us thus, causing every gesture of their care into painless battle for us.

When we fought with our friends, when we scored low in a subject

these were the hands that assured that all will be fine some day, and made it possible for us.

They berated us for things not done right, then showered with their love.

They scowled at us for raising our tantrums but still made up for them .

They held us tight, they held us warm.

When we had a nightmare they sang tunes to set our fears beyond.

He was as rowdy as a stone and cared as soft as a mother’s womb.

His callous eyes were my watchguard in every step of my life.

He was resolute in his actions and protective in his ways,

And there are things that I might have forgotten but his love inside me doesn’t fail to recognize that grace.

He was always far, working to make my days bright and shine.

I missed his presence and cribbed, for he not playing with me in my time.

But no sooner I realized that all that pain was worth the gain.

And now I wanna hold this toast up for my Daddy to tell him how much I’m proud to have one of a kind.

His gentleness I aspire to achieve.

His affection I perceive to yield

His mould I wish I can fit in

To raise yet another generation as strong and firm in all means.

A simple hello!!!!!!!!

 I have always felt syampathetic and compassionate for those i have seen walking lonely in the campus, for the ones who accompany lonliness, for the ones who throng no food jaunts and gossip with none. i always felt touched but i did nothing, precisely not because I didn’t want to but I dint know what and how to and always kept telling myself that someone else would be initiating this drive. I didn't take time to really think about the depth the pain of loneliness could cause. Then one day i thought what if i pick out a few minutes from my so called busy schedule to simply begin with a "hello" to those “someones” or just and chat with those “someones”, trust me it wasn’t difficult.It not only brightened “someones” else's moments but also made me like myself for those few moments that I never knew I had .There are things in life we all know but we are somewhere reluctant to let ourselves realize that we know. With experience I tell you , “initiative “is not that a difficult thing to practice,and with that i just added a link to the chain which otherwise would have snapped.

In the regular day today “prentence practice” we give excuses to the rest of the world , and by the end of the day we get so good at it , that we start giving excuses to ourselves too, like……we don't have time for ourselves then where from to manage time for others.But mark my words, we are definetly more than free to find and somehow even manage time ,from our “extremely busy schedule” to be extra vigilant about someone else's business and further more take the audacious lead to begin the loop of circulation of this hoplessly “not-required “information,but what if you are asked to spend a slice of the time slot you would otherwise spent getting involved in more of the similar crap.A simple hello surely would bring a smile on their face.sometimes these little things have everlasting impressions.




Everybody talks about helping others,ready to take their pain , its very easy to say but when actually what you say is tried out you are not with the rhythm of your own words. we are god's creation filled with emotions and can share our feelings still we are most reluctant in doing so and extending our hands towards those who are lost in the darkness of loneliness,tears and grief.If we are not able to keep our nature and humanity alive within us then where is the difference between us,trees and stones?They too come into existence,decay and die.When it is dark enough man see's the star but who'll going to open the window and make one believe that there is hope,after every dark night comes the new day so what ,it took sometime.Last but not the least so many people are rude and self absorbed,rushing through their day demanding attention,demanding things and there are people who are lost in the midst of loneliness.and i think how easy it is just to say "a simple hello" and it make the world of difference to those around us. Let's go out of our way to show them the love with our simple hello because this's someting they are getting without expectations.
