We have women working as equals to men in every field.We even have daredevils who acheive feats like climbing peaks and heading space missions...so girls are free now'.True, quite true.We find women active in various fields of work today.But then, can we jump to conclusions so soon?Women have been part of space missions.true.Women have made their way to the highest positions in society.true.But then, have we ever stopped to think about the amount of struggle and sacrifice that the so called 'successful" ladies might have gone through to acheive it.While boasting about how a girl has done her country proud,have we ever wondered about the number of times she had to lock horns with a largely indifferent and hostile society when she starts deviating from the set norms of the society?The answer would be a big blatant NO.<br /> While talking to a friend of mine, who had very recently married, I asked her what the age of her husband was.I was surprised to know that she did'nt know the age of the man she was living with.She didnt know what kind of a man he was with whom she was sharing her bed.Was she happy? Was she living her life as she had wanted to live it?Did she really love him? I wanted to ask her all these.But i did'nt. She might not know the answer.She did'nt have any dreams.any visions for life.She was thinking in the terms in which the society has taught her to think.But she was confirming to the norms of the societyAnd so, it was supposed to be a happy.decent and satisfied life.But is that living or just existing?Will the society ever understand that a girl can be happy only when she is living her life as she had wanted to live it?Will the society ever understand that a girl can be happy only with the person who understands her and whom she undrestands rather than a person whom the so called "better experienced" people think is best for her?Will a girl ever be able to walk through a path less travelled without being a victim of criticism?and Will I ever get a satisfactory answer to these questions?????<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29211333-114940028687661038?l=thoughtsonnet.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>lakshmi_s_nhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12680594846995510048noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29211333.post-1149350359846325142006-06-03T08:44:00.000-07:002006-06-03T08:59:19.856-07:00So..this is my blog :) two main reasons why i decided to start bloggin-1. i got tired writin pages and pages in my dairy.2.many of my friends said bloggin is real fun. so here i'm typin the first post for my blog.since i've decided to become an active member of the bloggin community i hope to post something regularly( HOPE ok:) :)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29211333-114935035984632514?l=thoughtsonnet.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>lakshmi_s_nhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12680594846995510048noreply@blogger.com3
