This post is meant to encapsulate what all women, often end up feeling or growing up to. Or perhaps, 21st century, Indian, working women living in various urban centers.
It's a 15 point piece. Do please let me know your responses to the same. Its after all, your space and your forum.
1. Anyone calling us fat, or mentioning how our hair isn't looking great, or that our skin is somewhat damaged, HURTS. Period. Truth be damned.
2. Poetry, pearls, flowers,pretty promises and resolutions of faith forever melts our hearts. For centuries, men have made these weapons of our acqueiscence. We ALWAYS give in to that. Or moves mountains to experience it again.
3. All the shopping in the world versus lacey,soft lingerie. (Preferably french). There's no contest there. Lingerie wins hands down. It makes us feel super beautiful in our own, personal slice of paradise.
4. We can love many men at the same time. and keep it seperate. And if need be, detach from it. It's men who don't let go of the past.
5. At some point of time or the other, in our lives, we have fallen for a wrong guy. Or rather,a disastrous guy. We think we have learnt from it. But we havent really.
6. All said and done, a very beautiful woman in the same space as us makes us a wee bit jealous and somewhat, critical.
7. We don't debate it any more. Men can't multi task. So we'd rather do it ourselves.
8. We love our mothers. We love them. We will always love them more than others.
9. We simply love it when a wandering eye in a pleasant setting falls on us, roves, and lingers. But it's only us who judge and decide whether the eyes are admiring or simply lusting. We don't always like the second kind. And it's always our decisions.
10. Salads & soups are the penance we pay for some unforseen past life crime. We pretend to love them. It's just a burden that we've got to bear.
11. We dont need our friends to always cajole or counsel us. We just need them to listen, and understand. If they don't understand, we just want them to listen. That's all.
12. We love the hug when work is treating us rough, we love a tender reminder that we are treasured. We don't need a physical gift always, but the appreciation can often ensure decades of loyalty.
13. Each one of us loves children, but is afraid or nervous about being a mother.
14. We often wonder how our dads and mums stayed together for so long! Or how they endured what they did to give us good lives.
15. We love our girlfriends. We simply adore them. Unlike what most men think, they aren't just gossip girls for us. They are soulmates who live some part of our lives with us. So complaining about them isn't a good idea.
