HAPPY WOMEN’S DAY

A POEM BY ME AND A TRIBUTE To THE WOMEN WHO CREATED HISTORY

Celebrating Woman power.

She is the true symbol of love and dedication.
Her role as a mother gets universal appreciation. 
She is the epitome of Shakti- the power.
Her independence and security is the need of the hour. 
She is also a daughter, a sister and a wife.
With sheer determination, she overcomes all the obstacles in her life. 
Her greatest strength is her endurance to pain.
With each faltering step, she rises again.
An ideal woman is her family's strength,
To protect its honor, she will go to any length.
She has succeeded in reaching the sky.
Carved a niche for herself in this world, holding her head high. 

Happy Women's Day.

Good morning friends,

Happy International Women’s Day. 🌹🌹🌹❤❤❤❤💕💕💕💕☺☺☺♥️♥️. Being a woman is never easy. Protecting ourselves from sexual predators, abusive marriage, jealous boyfriends, ex-boyfriends who turn into stalkers and blackmailers, spurned Romeos who throw acids on the women whom they claim to love, female infanticide and so on. Besides, in a typical patriarchal society, a woman’s freedom is completely restricted. She has no rights to perform the last rites of her dear one just because she’s a female. She’s considered impure, filthy when she menstruates and so treated like an untouchable, disgusting creature. But it’s ok to bleed on the First Night of her marriage which proves her chastity and that she had been a virgin. What kind of double standards is this?

Gone are the days when a man filed for a divorce, the woman was blamed for the failed marriage and when she filed for divorce, she was held responsible for the failed marriage. Her own family would advise her to bear everything silently and not try to wreck her family. Why? Why? Why? Now, men are getting paid back in their own coin. They are finding it difficult to find a bride. She’s financially independent and strong enough to raise her children on her own. Let’s stop talking about gender discrimination which isn’t limited to India, as the Western countries might think. It’s a universal problem and existed in the developed nations like the US, UK as well.

Let’s take a look at these ladies who have made womanhood proud. I am proud of them and equally proud to be a woman.
