Vanished

Somehow sometimes in relationships, we often forget our own selves. To a point where one day we wake up and try finding ourselves and figure that the "we" we knew as... has vanished. Love is the most highly overrated subject. People sing songs and write stories... But what if one doesn't want to lose oneself in a relationship? What if one wants to hold on their own and not for a single moment forget that it is their relationship with them-self which is the most important one. The love for their own self? Would it be tagged selfish? Would it be deemed low?

The world is changing and so are the people in it. The mindset is changing. Women are empowered. Men no longer believe they are the best. But at the core of it all, one of the two people involved in any relation have to let their choice pass 'cause it would mean more to the other. One of the two still chooses the others choice 'cause somewhere at the bottom of it all, its 'cause love is known to ask for sacrifices.

Some of us get past life, unscratched and happy in our own space we created loving others, but sometimes just sometimes... there are those who want to love themselves as much.

Happy Men's Day

Today is the 8th of March. The world celebrates it as International Women's day. Thank you. For whoever invented it. As a woman I take pride in all I do. As a mother of two and a business woman I understand how multitasking is a part of our day to day job. Kids, work, home, husband... I pat my back sometimes. I know I goof up at times and can't reach everywhere but I still do.. almost magically, almost scraping through.

So today as I sat organizing my day in the morning (yes some of work on Sundays as well!), I browsed through my Facebook and realized it was Women's Day. I looked at my husband and said "Wish me.. It's Women's Day". He smiled, planted a kiss on my cheek and wished me. End of conversation. Knowing my husband I didn't expect more. And then thanks to my over thinking mind, my thoughts drifted towards the race we know as MEN. In the past few days I've read and heard about horrific crimes and men who've committed it and men who've defended it. I swore under my breath.

And then I thought about all the men I've known closely in my life. My Dad, my friends, my husband and now my son. I almost immediately thanked God for their existence. They are some of the best people in this planet. They make my life so worth living.

I read somewhere "Women who want to be equal to men lack ambition". I disagree. I think it's unfair that people keep comparing women to men . Its like comparing oranges to lemon. They're  two different kinds. Capable of doing different things. Sometimes similar things but very differently. One doesn't need to compare the two. I have been very lucky in having friends.. guys and also my husband.. who think the same. There was never any competition owing to gender at least.

Today I strive to teach my son the same morals I've seen in these wonderful men. First and foremost respect for a fellow human. Regardless of the gender.

I hope someday we'd have invented Men's Day too. Until then....Happy Men's Day.
