I was in a meeting today... and most of my audience was Director level decision making stakeholders and I am glad to say that most of these were Women... Just the right reminder to Women's day .. I am intentionally keeping myself away from the word "International" because I have doubts that it is truly an international thought !
But here on Chai Ki Dukan, which has seen three continents (Bit of international eh!) in the last few years I had to write my dedication to Women... I associate Women with a few words.. here are some of them that I like to remember ...
Innocent
Assertive
Stylish
Fun
Calm
Faithful
Leader
Adventurous
Thinker
Beautiful
Independent
Mysterious
Sexy
Talented
And my limited vocabulary and lack of time is making me stop here, however I did make a set on Flickr to put together all the photographs above and more. Please do see a slide show here, when you have sometime.
Hope for a better tomorrow, for the WOMEN of the world !
Amen !
And a big thank you to every woman who has been a part of my life, big or small and I know this for sure that I have learnt from everyone of them!
I wanted to write names here first, but chose not to - Jealous is a word that comes to my mind in addition to the ones above ;)

ReplyDeleteGreat Post Hai sirjee!
ReplyDeleteGlass ceiling is finally beginning to break for women and i am glad people like you are happy and encouraging.!
Have seen many Educated and highly placed males be jealous of equally competent women around.
A futurologist have gone on record saying that the times will change. Women would go out one day to earn living and men would raise kids. I have seen some parts of it in today's Modern Indian society, you must have seen more of it there.??
@ Tushar...
ReplyDeletebhai haan.. bhool gaya... :/
@ Kanchan
great !!!! enjoy :)
@ Ankit
thanks ! Finally breaking? I have seen women in very important and strategic positions for about 8 years now (but that's a small time I guess looking at how way back in history we go)
however, I am sure there is a long way to go... Jealous... well a lot of them would be if they are being overtaken by better professionals.. I feel scoping that feeling out because of the sex of the individual is not really fair...
I am not really sure about what that futurologist said though ! The way men are wired, they don't make the best home makers if they sit at home and raise kids ! We don't handle that thought too well of being alone! What I have seen here?... Well.. I see more of partnership here in terms of relationships and less of I am better/stronger than you kinds which unfortunately still exists in a lot of Indian males... But then the reason for it is the fact that Women here are much more independent, which India is moving towards !
I just hope we don't lose track of what is right as a human being somewhere though, in the name of being modern (though that goes for both men and women)
nice post :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Anjuli !
ReplyDeletekitni ladiyaan hain tumharee life mein???? just count it dont mention it here...
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm glad you stopped adding more names :)
