Namaskar Ladies :)





I said,'Girls are born to be flawless'...What's that?..Did i mean every word of it???

Ohh!..am immensely sorry ....for having used the wrong adjective.(Has there ever,existed on this earth, a mortal being which can be aptly described as 'flawless'??Isn't it well said that the absence of flaw, even in beauty is a flaw.In a word ,human aspirations never limit to the state of flawlessness!!)But then,what made me utter those words??Guess it was the heart felt gratitude that has been honed over the years of my life so far.And on getting a chance ,it finally found its way.Gladdening me even more,it came just in the nick of time,when the world around has been obliviously acting indifferently to the greatness of women.
How often do we care to acknowledge the woman and womanhood for being the indispensably significant contributor to the very foundation of the society??What is the frequency with which we prefer to express kudos to the woman who keeps changing her role on the stage of life to make the world a happier place to her beloveds.Be it the lovely daughter ,be it a thoughtful and considerate friend or be it the life-giver,the mother, ever ready to make sacrifices for the smallest fancies of her children. (is it worth pondering on??...never seemed like it.)And then after years of tribulations ,when she could ,deservingly grab opportunities outside the family and household ,her astounding efficiency took aback all who found it hard to give up misgivings about the capabilities of the female.Education of women gave impetus to revolution of rennovation of the society with women and men working at par.In no time their ascent to the pinnacle of all walks of public life has become somewhat phenomenal!!Do i need to recount the great women of which history stands a witness.Ranging from the great warrior Maharani Lakshmi Bai,the first woman prime minsiter of India, Mrs Indira Gandhi, the first lady IPS of India ,Mrs Kiran Bedi,the princess of extrateresstrial world, Kalpana Chawala and her successor Sunita Williams,and not to forget the great woman of the age of globalisation Mrs Indira Nooyi.(the first woman CEO of an MNC).But isn't the greatness of women much beyond the reverence earned by a handful of such illustrious ladies??Funny as it may sound,but matter-of-factly even the girl next-door or the lady living in seclusion of a house of an obscure village,is a substantial contributor in making the world as beautiful and worthwhile.The greatness of women lie not in having got the best of cards but in certainly playing those they got , the best!!
Lets be candid.Haven't we been a little too parsimonious in applauding the girl,the woman,the lady.Haven't we been moving on too hastily taking things for granted.
Lets not forget to salute the the ladies.Hats off to you boss,for weathering all storms admirably and gallantarily coming out with the twinkling sheen of the winning trophy!!
