Decoded.
First of all,
‘To the marketing and advertising companies, Every day is My Day. One day in a year need not be allotted, to acknowledge and celebrate, that I am a woman, to increase the sales of your clients.’ Although, I do not mind the gifts that come my way, without really doing anything ;). In fact, if the ‘marketing’ companies are listening, my insta handle is full of things I like and you can recommend the same to the colleagues or others who are planning to make me feel special today. FYI.
Being a woman, I want to clarify on behalf of all women, that we had no role to play, or had a choice in being born this way (a woman). I do not know if a soul has a gender or not, or if there is an entry gate to the bodies, where one gets to decide whether to inhabit a male or a female body. I do believe that we are, how we are, to maintain a balance in nature and for the world to carry on.
There! If the above message is integrated, there is no further need to dissect and analyze.
However, since I have promised to give an insight into the ‘women’s mind’, below is a simplified version, of what I think and want:
1. I do not want someone else to make me feel special. I can do that for myself. What I want is true companionship.
2. Do not underestimate me. I have been conditioned enough since I was little, to do it very well on my own. If you want to do something different, Encourage me!
3. Cooking for my family gives me joy. Preparing a meal from the scratch and taking it to completion is gratifying for me. Appreciation of the meal, adds to the joy and is not the sole purpose I cook for.
4. I drive because I love to drive, it liberates the mind. It is not to prove a point.
5. It really does not bother me if you are stereotyping me. It is a female mind, it is supposed to be a feminist.
6. I am complete on my own. A spouse and a child are my choices.
7. Give a compliment if you wish to. Ogle at me and prepare to face the result.
8. I dress up on some days and not so much on others. Believe that it is normal, I do it as per my mood and not to make any statement.
9. I don’t want you to understand me. I want you to Let me Be!
10. Finally, understand that women are no different. We want the same things, have the same needs as any other individual. It is only the perspectives that are different for us all…
