Being a woman

Do you often look at yourself in the mirror and wonder what sets you apart? Given a chance, would you again want to be born a woman? I most definitely will.

You are a woman, a giver, a creator, a being, an inspiration and unique in every way. Feminity is so special, makes the world look beautiful and, in a way, cosy!

Being a woman is not only about living a feminine life, getting married, managing a family, running a household and making everyone happy. It is about enjoying it too. We see many examples in day-to-day life, but how many women are truly happy? Our mothers and sisters and scores of women like them continuously strive hard to be perfect. Why they want to be so is unknown, but they never cease to try. They will leave no stone unturned in their quest for being the best mothers, the best sisters, the best wives and the best daughters, and if they fail a little to fulfill all these roles, guilt overtakes all emotions. It is then that they have to kill their dreams and live their lives for others.

This Woman’s Day I salute all such women but would like to add something to that. Please- you too can err; there is no need to push the boundaries beyond a limit. We want you happy, because you are so special.
