The mother, the sister, the wife.
To be born a woman is a blessing, for it is she who bears the burden of bringing life upon this earth. For, it is only she who can bear.
For generations, she has been the backbone, the unsung heroine of success for many a successful men. There was a generation when this soul was considered to be worthy of being a decorative piece within the confines of a home. She was deemed to be fit only for household chores and never to be fit to face the outside world and achieve for herself.
Things have changed, how we live our life’s have changed, generations have moved on. Progress in every field is an ever changing fast paced affair and with this change the women has grown in stature. They slowly started coming outside the boundary walls called home and started contributing to society in certain walks of life. Women’s liberation had begun.
The will of a woman is stronger than the might of an elephant and this will has been transforming her every day and motivating her to venture into every field, then proclaimed to be fit for a man. It’s a Man’s world they said. Today, in this emerging global economy, women have grown leaps and bounds and have at times surpassed men in delivering. Even today it is only the women who can be a giver of life, but she has gone beyond this natural gift. They say if a man were to endure the labor pains they will surely die. She has claimed her worthy position in standing tall among the best. This progress is not restricted to the western world.
Today in India, most of the big companies have CEO’s chaired by a woman and those companies have flourished. Kiran Mazumdhar is one such example. If toughness was something only a man can personify, Kiran Bedi has proved that to be a wrong assumption.If managing a multi national powerhouse was considered to be a man’s forte then Indra Nooyi, the pepsico CEO, has proved otherwise.
Today, me as a woman can stand up with pride and can take up any role that a man can and I can say with confidence that I will be able to perform on par and even better than my male counter part.
The next generation would have a statement “It’s a woman’s world after all”

I Am A Celebrity!!!
How many of us would wish we could be in a celebrity’s shoe. We all have our role models from various walks of life. Some would wish they were a rock star, a pop singer, an actor, and actress. And there are those who wish to be a sportsperson like their favorite players in cricket, tennis, soccer etc…
With the recent news of a famous sports stars promiscuous nature being revealed, I started wondering ,would this have happened to him had he been just a common man???
Its just great to be known, wherever you go and to be paid for everything that you do. From opening a department store to endorsing drinks, shoes and what not. They have the best of cars, the best of houses and the best of everything money and fame can buy.
But then again is life all that great I wonder?
When a person just starts to climb the ladder to fame, the first thing that comes to his mind when he is in public is how many of them recognize him. He would still remember the first time someone recognized him on the street. What an elated feeling that was, to be known, to be famous, to be admired. The first time someone walked up to him and said “Can I have a photograph taken with you”. The first time someone walked up to him and said “Can I have your autograph”.
It feels great and you tend to like it and every time someone walks up to him he gives a personalized autograph and fills in with all the poses his fan would like to have with him.
Days go by, months go by and a few years go by. Now how does this person look at fame, ever wondered??
He is no more a person with his individuality. He belongs to the masses, to the paparrazi, to the media and to the television and newspapers in your homes. Everything he does and says are to be seen, heard, felt and gossiped.
Every place he goes, there are eyes staring at him, his every move. His affairs are more personal to the public than it is to him. His opinions and views have to be reviewed before it is made public so as not to harm his reputation and with that the multi-million dollar contracts with the endorsement companies.
Does he have the simple pleasures of dining at a local restaurant or at a movie theatre. Can he move around freely without the entourage of bodyguards to protect him from possible stabbers?
As all things in life, I guess nature has this wonderful way of balancing out everything. Nothing by nature’s law is imbalanced, if you observe. With all the comforts the celebrity status brings about, it comes with its nullification, the balance, which at some point in life one would wish they could have it back.
So for us as humans how much is enough is never known and we continue to wish for what we don’t have and when we get them, we don’t know if we wanted it in the first place.
