Life Through My Experiences

The entire life we prepare for one thing – death. 

Somewhere I read, “ A person enters a saint’s hut and sees that there was not enough space inside the hut. The visitor ask , ‘’Sir, is this place enough for your visitors to sit?. The saint smilingly answers, “Well, we are all visitors here, isn’t it”?

Guess this is what life is about! Hidden between these four significant words.

Birth: Death -Love : Hate.

I strongly feel and now begun believe that all our emotions run around these words.

 

My few observations in the past few years about life. It’s an interpretation only. I might be right or wrong or insignificant. But trying to make an attempt to pen it down. If someone feels different or has a different please let me know as am still in the process of learning.

Birth is the most significant event in any human’s life. Call it completion of womanhood or happy that you fathering a child - it’s a beautiful experience. Couples come closer to one another. The family’s household’s chores run around the child.  My mom says, “ when there is a baby in the house, it becomes a home and that home is forever busy forever bustling with activities and forever full of life! A child bring hope – goals in life –an experience to see them turn into their own personalities (well we need to own that responsibility)

When someone dear dies, there is a void in life. Restlessness, emptiness and void gets into your routine. Hearing their voices and difficult to believe that your dear one is no more with you!

On the other hand it teaches your certain harsh realities of life. Like, life is what you live and how you live. It will make you a good or a bad person.  Behind the dead person is the family, which faces the worst of the nightmares turning into reality.  Letting go the person is the worst feeling but ironically it brings peace of mind!

Souls come and go! Do their job and go! But we need to check every time the purpose of our being. 

Birth in a family makes you beam with life while death make you think about how to live further – purposefully.

Smile

A curve that makes everything straight! You have guessed it right – SMILE

How do we remember smiles? Hmm… let’s take a glance at our lives. When and where did we smile? A bit of flash back is required.

Your parents holding you and trying to make you sleep and that sudden beaming smile! Hearts melt and there they go admiring you for the rest of the day.  Now let’s come to the year you might remember seeing few things that you like. Your favourite toy or favourite people around you. We would end up smiling or laughing even someone tore a paper in front of you! Ah! Such innocent days they were!

Later we grow up to cry most of the times confused between haves and wants! Once we decide on that, our tastes would have changed. Oh! That teenage where half of it is spent in giggling and the rest is spent on thinking what to do next in life! Thanks to peer pressure and parental pressure!

Oops did I forget to mention about the first ever crush we had! Now am sure most of you would be smiling and thinking about it! See that brings a smile; attached with some good and not so good memories! All that now might look so silly and childish!

 

The results that we achieved, the best friends we had, the best of the times we spent, the bunking of the classes, trying to get that attention from few people! Oh! How thrilling that was! I am sure there is a gush of emotions running through us now. Wait it is not over yet!

The confident smile comes from the achievements. Well, academically! Those never ending job interviews, presentations, and interactions so many things that would have gone behind all that hard work. If you sit and think now, I feel it was all worth it.

Now let’s be a little serious. Finding your life partner! Hey! I am not telling it’s a bad decision to get married (ha!ha!ha!) but I am asking you all to relive those emotions and the smiles behind the beautiful courtship days. Ticklish isn’t it?

Of all these smiles do you know we have forgotten one smile that is very important? Any guesses? I know some of you have smiled and some of you choose not to smile. Smiling during hardships! Of course, Yes. We all smile during the happy days and would love to relive those moments time and again. But never want to muster the courage to SMILE during hardship. I urge and challenge you all to do that.

It’s one of the best acts of courage. For those who do not understand the beauty of it - Try it. It’s the best jewel one can ever wear.

The Need

Women Empowerment -The Need

In this contemporary world, women need to gain the same amount of power that men have. Now, it is time to forget that men are the only holders of power. In India, women are still facing different obstacles in male-dominated cultures. The things are related to women’s status and their future. However, we believe that Indian women are slowly getting empowerment in the sectors like education, politics, the work force and even more power within their own households. The worth of civilization can be arbitrated by the place given to women in the society.

India today is at the cusp of a paradigm change in its growth and its position in the world. Both men and women must act decisively to capture this opportunity. We need to think big and scale up rapidly in each and every area, be it education, infrastructure, industry, financial services or equality of both genders. For around two centuries, social reformers and missionaries in India have endeavored to bring women out of confines in which centuries of traditions had kept them. According to the 2001 Census, the percentage of female literacy in the country is 54% up from 9% 1951.

The work force is covered with intellectual women who currently hold the CEO positions at large companies which were never held by Indian women in long ago. In our country, women have reached a long way eventually and have discovered a new path for them to come. Women rights are human rights. The concept of feminism is very vogue. Feminist usually deals out balky attention. Women’s right and changes effort to win equality for women have containing women's suffrage, feminism, women's property rights, equal opportunity in work and education, and equal pay. Now, the future of women is seeking out.  

But, an upsetting place still remains for Indian women is the negative sexual attention that women often receive. Indian societies have received notoriety for being unsafe for women. Whereby the fair sex is not only being hassled, stalked and raped but incidents of immoral trafficking also are very high. Add to this the heinous practice of female feticide and infanticide wherein nearly 10 million baby girls have been killed in the last twenty years alone. In fact, the level of atrocities against women is an indicator of the coercion of our society and underscores that we are a suppressed society. Clearly, safety is an obsolete word in today’s India.
