I ve been receiving several messages today...asking me to feel proud that I am a woman ,because of several reasons...Every message ends with the words Happy Woman's Day...
I am confused...I was taught grammar in school but still I fail to understand which is the noun that the adjective happy is qualifying...day or woman...Well logic says its the former but I wish it is the latter...I would rather prefer that the woman is happy not the day!!!
After having known this custom for several years now I fail to understand what 8th March signifies...A woman's day...International woman's day or a HAPPY WOMAN's DAY!!!Why is it that we celebrate this date..There may be a story attached but still...
Lets see...What will a HAPPY WOMAN's DAY be like...A day when every woman is happy???A day when she is free from the kitchen chores & does whatever she feels like..Will it be a day when each girl gets her right to education...her right to independence...her right to choose how & when she wants to play the different roles of daughter ,wife,sister ,mother ,daughter in law...
A day when every woman is empowered through education to lead a life she wants..she dreams of..she is HAPPY to live Yes this is a HAPPY WOMAN's DAY!!!
She may not be revered ,but atleast respected...People may not worship her ...but atleast be well behaved with her...She may not get any devotee but atleast dignity...Thats all she wants...thats all she needs...
When she gets that...it will not be a HAPPY WOMANS DAY....but a HAPPY WOMANS LIFE...
But I am still confused...why is it that we are wishing each other today??Who is happy -the DAY or the WOMAN???
Request your advice!!!

Ummmm.... this post is a little hard for me to understand. I guess its just like any other day, father's day, mother's day, these are basically days that the whole world acknowledges that what a fantastic feeling it actually is to be a father, or a mother, or a woman in this case.
True in this country, the realization of being a woman may not evoke happy-happy emotions, groping and eve-teasing are pretty common today, but things are changing, maybe some day in your lifetime, you will experience it too.
If possible, be happy and proud of being a woman. If not, do what my mom does every year, she makes me do the jhaadu-pochcha of the house, and my brother does the dishes and takes care of the washing.
