On a continuum,the day comes year after year and we walk passed by hailing 'ho' the significance of women in the modern day society but yet remain not to heave a conscious effort in understanding the root problem of gender discrimination.This note today continues as the 3rd part of the series and I personally like to include the women I have admired in my till date life time.
A heart breaking quote that flashed in a corner of front running news daily caught my attention as I was reading through sequential Darwinism theory.The news column read thus
"Illumined by the heightened thought of woman empowerment..What we actually walk through is the fact..While some women are fined for being covered while most are paid for being naked".
Does this apply to the entire gender.No.The answer is ,pocketed places where continuos subjugation take place at a faster rate and in an overall society ,the thought of weakened physical being and a notion of less power is prevalent.
The strings attached to this gender discrimination are multitudes and it varies from men to men.So on a philosophical note ,what gratified saints suggested was to think beyond gender-a concept widely popularised as 'Being Human'.But No.That isn't the best offered solution and going by the current wave of consumeristic social pattern the problem needs a better scrutiny via academic and an impeccable social thought.Safe enough until both genders (leaving aside LGBT) jolt the way for an egalitarian society by means of respect.
With that being said,on this Women's Day I personally would like to mention about a story that illustrates the greatness what men often fail to see or either way put, find it harsh to appreciate open heartedly the role of any lady in his life.So the story goes thus..
A story of Greatness
Two persons converse with each other, a voice which is so divine and appears beyond gender, for it was musical and the other a lady in the her second half of her life.
"You are sure dear?? You don't want to come along?.This may be the best time.I cannot guarantee anything less painful of a departure than this.."-the divine voice filled the void where none but the lady was present.
"No.The duties hold me back.Perhaps the time I waited for all these years have come.A strong support is needed for him to be the man he want to be.I shall do that part along with the blessing of yours"-the lady replied humbly.
"Alright.Many don't get this chance but you did.Think well before you let this go.Once gone,you may not be sure that I respond to you all other times"
"Thank you.I needed your presence nearby and to be with him for he was too frightened to having seen me in this stage.Just be with him and let him be assured that I will be with him soon."
"Okay.I will take care of him.But let me ask you these questions.Answer that questions right and you will be left undisturbed this time.Do that wrong I may have to think over again of the erstwhile decision"-the voice appeared a bit stern in testing the temperament of the lady.
"I am blessed to have seen you.Please ask yours"-the lady irrespective of her being subjected to pain externally said with a gracious smile.
"What is the one thing you fear most in this life?"-the voice posed the first question.
"I am feared of not having raised him to a position where he became so enthralled of surviving alone and I doubt whether he will be able to do it after I am gone"-the lady's voice trembled.
"What is the one thing that you felt happy about your days on earth?"
"The moment he was blessed for having helped saving the life of a kid and being hailed a wise man"
"Okay.This will be your last question and you answer it right and I leave you right here making your wish come true soon"-the voice was glad with the answers and posed the last question which the lady found trouble to answer.
"One.I leave you now but with two conditions of which ,one is to be fulfilled by you.One.You can come with me peacefully within an year but he would want you most in the life by that time.Second.You can come with me bruised after 20 years but he will be at the epitome of his life and could spare only few moments with you in those years.You will suffocate for having regretted this offer.So choose the one you want to happen"-the voice was calm observing the nuances that let the lady trembling.
"I choose the second.I wish I be with him when he needs me the most.It doesn't matter whether I am bruised or not.He will be at his zenith and that can be the happiest thing for me to watch before I be with you"-the lady said with the tears of joy.
"Ok..Be you be blessed and cherished.Now wake up.Your surgery is over"-the voice having said that faded away.It was the voice of God.The story ends here.
My mom woke up after her Thyroid cancer surgery.The next moment the words uttered were "Where's Ram ?? I want to meet him".For me,the hug that she offered right in her surgical bed was the one that will be cherished forever.Unknowingly both the mother and son cried for the doctor wanted me to leave outside forcefully.Then I was 16 and till date and for the dates to come in future I still call her the woman who made me who I am and Who I want to be.
What best can be the evidence to stay put the role of woman in any man's life.Be it a mom,a sister, a friend, a life partner or be it any who touched your life in wonderful ways.I am lucky to have such those persons in life for many a time my thoughts say "You have deserved more than what you do".
So as UN theme says"Planet 50-50 by 2030.Step it up for Gender Equality".Think great and act great and a Happy Women's Day ...
