Women's Day Special: WOMEN and not woMEN or WOmen

Women's Day Special: WOMEN and not woMEN or WOmen! Let me start my short message by wishing all the Women out here a Happy Women's Day! The greatness of a women is that they form almost half of the society's population and they give birth to & raise the remaining half! Thus they complete the society! Hence Women has 100% power to make or break the society! Men don't realize this hence we think about women empowerment! Empowering women doesn't necessarily talk about women working in companies and being financial Independent but it talks about women having their say in every aspect of the society; the way they want to do things, the way they feel about something, the change that they want to imbibe. Its actually about coexisting lives, thoughts and actions. Believe it or not the patience to listen, the strength to support, the endurance to pain, willingness to sacrifice, ability to care and resurrection to happiness and prosperity are in complete control of women! Their is a famous saying in Sanskrit which quotes, "yatra naaryastu puujyante ramante tatra devataaH | yatraitaastu na puujyante sarvaastatraaphalaaH kriyaah ||" Meaning: The divine are extremely happy where women are respected ; where they are not, all actions (projects) are fruitless. I don't think, there is any better message which talks about the importance of a women in our lives than the one depicted in the picture below. I was watching the BBC Documentary on the "India's Daughter" and before having seen this documentary i was of the opinion that deficit of proper education is the sole reason for such a barbaric menace but after having heard what the Defense Lawyers, Politicians & also few Godmen had to say about such barbaric acts I was totally startled, disappointed and ashamed to be a part of such male society! Let us all just remember that a WOMAN is a HUMAN too. When SHE is NOT better, wiser, stronger, more intelligent, more creative or more responsible than a MAN. SHE is NEVER LESS. Thus I am sure all they want to be is WOMEN and not WOmen or woMEN! The Society will not change until each one of us change! Hope to see a paradigm shift in the way Women are made to feel and provided space to really live! Amen!
