What a Crap! - A Women's Day?

Why the hell we are celebrating women's day? - Ask Yourself and Tell me.


I had it in my mind to write about women as it was their day yesterday. But I couldn't write anything , because
I think I have developed antipathy for almost all special "days" save Festivals. Festivals have their own charm , they are like a break from normal dull routine and their purpose are  religious , social and mental . But what about other special days? National days are good. But we have almost forgotten them . That is the irony of our modern life - we remember all trifle things while we tend to forget important dates and days. 


So, all of you celebrate Friendship day , Valentine's day , may be others like Rose day , Chocolate day .... and yeah Women day , which is as trifle as all these days. No , I think Friendship Day is more serious among all , at least we do not pamper our friends or make new friends on that day , neither we forget them after wards. But take Valentine's Day , people celebrate it with so much enthusiasm as if its only one and last day to express Love . And women day , you can beat women , insult her , dominate her all other days but you must celebrate one day to feel proud that how much you have been civilized.

All over the world , people are talking about women and issues related to them. India is , I guess , over - excited. May be this excitement is an effort to hide the truth that India is still lagging behind in development of women power. I am not as disappointed with bubble of excitement on women issues , which I am sure will cool down in few days , but with commercializing on women's day. I heard on radio , how so many schemes were being popularized , I don't know how it is beneficial for companies but my views on this are different. Why private companies , shops and malls introduce such schemes on special days and specially sensitive days like this? It is commercializing , they should better do some socializing (if they are so much concerned about women ) and provide help in other good ways. 


Discussion , Laws , Advertisements even sometimes literary piece like this article don't do anything except stir a little enthusiasm to do something useful . We should take our ideas and thoughts and intentions further than this... I may sound an idealist but I have heard - Nothing is Impossible because it only says - I M Possible. 
So , what are we waiting for? At least we can be gentle enough not to politicize and commercialize any sensitive day and instead do a little towards in the issue's direction. Like , did you wish your mother? Or did something in your sister's favor? Whether it is to guide her , motivate her or understand her? Did you ask your wife's problem ? Your wife or girl friend will never speak her true problem until you understand her or ask her.  Make your daughter realize what being woman means and show what responsibilities are attached to this gender. I am sure you have almost forgotten your grandmother , just be kind to her and give her love. And , last but not least , never thought about your "kaam wali bai" :P lolz.. ! don't think dirty , she is also a woman , she has as much right of respect as your mother and sister. So , stop talking all crap , apply your thoughts in your actions and life. Celebrate Women's  Day - Everyday ! :)

I am star of the Sky ...

I am star of the Sky that sees no Limit I break I fall and yet  When I shine I outshine all the Light ... Happy Birthday Angel  :) I often doubt, am I really an angel. Several times I attributed to myself the titles like - Stone Angel, Dark Angel or Fallen Angel - but I could never prick out the fact that I am not an Angel. Why? Why am I an angel? And then it says from deep down, "you don't have to find a reason for what you are." Around 5.20 am , she asked me, "Won't you wish something today?" , I looked up at the dark clouds for a sec , smiled and then nodded hard, " I would , I would , I would." and then I said, " aasmaan ka ek katra , aur wo hissa jisme mera birghtest star ho."   When we wished each other, my mom blessed me with the words, " zindagi ke sahi matlab samjho... ek din samajh jaogi.. aur tab tak samjhna jaari rakhna..."  I am feeling grateful for everything. Everything is so wonder...

Two Hours for Soul

Two hours. Two long. Too much. Yet too less if I sit by a half-closed window and sun rays tickle my eyes play with my hairs and kiss my lips. Too less to thank God for all good he did.  Too less to observe the life as it flows.  Too less to love each moment as it passes by.  We run and run whole life and it is passed in a twinkling of an eye but our soul carries the imprints for eternity. The Soul was an empty vessel when it began its journey but the time allowed Soul to fill itself with pretty flowers, beads, gems and magnificent things. Whole life we keep on fulfilling the needs of body and neglect our soul. Wouldn't it be wonderful to pause for some minutes and give sometime to our Soul.  To observe the cycle of universe and feel yourself a part of it. To rise above the petty problems of the day and feel the magnificence of Being. To fly with imagination to the unknown worlds of fairies, kabilas, gypsies, forests, mountains, ocean. To let the...
