This has been long I have been trying to put in my feelings and experiences into words in this virtual world of blogosphere...finally I could squeeze in some spare time to pen down a few lines..today being the International Women's Day and more importantly a Sunday...the day I love the most in a week..the day for me and only me, I could manage some time...The day started as usual as a lazy sunday morning... my cousin was at my place..my sis,my cousin and myself had a grand breakfast at 11 treating ourselves...called up my mom, few of my women friends to wish them on this special day..the entire day we enjoyed all the special movies played on this special occassion of Women's Day on TV..our mobiles were flooded with beautiful Women's day messages from our respective male collegues and friends.Most of the time its an wonderdul feeling to be a woman..specially when people around you make u feel how important it is to be a woman...how important a woman is in this world of men. The past week in office had also been wonderful. Many programmes were organized,special treament for for all the women folks at work..flowers,choclates,icecreams,beautiful cards,treats any many more ....it is a feeling of WOW!!!..The sense of chivalry,the respect for women,the social recognition for being a women....its magnanimous.......its simply great..
In the afternoon my cousin left for her place as she stays around 30 miles away from my place, and she has to resume her office next morning...me and my sister had to go shop some of the household things as the weekend was almost getting over...we had to rush and back early as had MTV Roadies lined up at 7, our favourite show...we were walking down the road, as had to pick our clothes from the dry cleaning laundry...i was talkin to a friend of my mine over the phone, with my sis walking by my side...all of a sudden I was shocked by the sight as i turned my face to the hussle goin on on the street.. a teen aged gal, aged between 17-18 screaming at the top of her voice to a guy who was standing shamelessly listenin to her...we din knw wat was really happening..neither people present around were reacting to it...all were spectators to this drama...we passed by thinking,might be a personal fight ..the noise grew louder, we turned back, the girl was furious and even the guy had started manhandling her, my sis couldnt stop herself..even before i could stop her..she was already into it..i was speechless...wasnt able to react so sudden..i could see the gal slapping and yelling at the guy and my sis too had joined her..i rushed in to call my sis back..by then people surrounding that area had gathered around...after too much of tussle, few elderly people intervened and things were under control..by then i was literally shievering, unable to understand what went wrong, why my sis after all jumped into it..i was blank....the guy was asked to apologies to the gal..n shamelessly he did so..... I pulled my sis out of the crowd and walked out of the place.Later on I got to know from her that as we were walkin down the road and i was busy over phone,she had noticed from far the guy misbehaving the gal in the broad daylight,in a busy market area and my sis wished the gal to react back..which the gal exactly did and people around were mere spectators ,she(my sis) couldnt stop herself from getting into it...as she faces similar incidents every now and then on her way to work and back...that suddenly reminded me of my cousin, i called her up just to check if she has reached back safe,thankfully she had....I guess this kind of incident every u and me,every women in our society faces......
Where is the chivalry gone that i was talking about? Where is the respect for women? The feeling of being special,the special feeling of being a Woman subsides and the feeling of insecurity,a feeling of scariness,creeps in you.....and I m left with lot many questions in my mind..........its no more a WOW feeling.............I ended the day with.....
