GENDER STEREOTYPE

If you are a woman,

Have you ever wanted somethin

g that is considered ‘manly’ ? Like a basketball, a cell phone, a dog, a camera or a new laptop? A new car or motor bike? Ever wanted to be a pilot? A doctor or not a nurse? And the manliest want of them all – The remote!

As a kid did you enjoy playing with a bat and a ball?

There was a time when books were considered ‘manly’, women authors had to pretend to be men – would you say books are still rather manly – women should want to embroider and crochet?

If you are a man,

Have you ever wanted something that only women are supposed to want – like bags, shoes, clothes, creams, perfumes, babies, flowers? A peaceful home and a happy family? Have you ever been afraid of the dark or of insects?

As a kid did you ever want to play ‘teacher-teacher’, cooking or did you like playing with a doll? Have you ever enjoyed cooking? Bought something in pink? Loved chocolates?

So here is my list of gender traits:

1. I HATE PINK, and i love blue.

2. I love reading books, give me a book and i don"t need food or sleep till the time i finish the book.

3. I was famous for jumping compounds of my house (sometimes our neighbor's) unlike any girl. Of course i was also yelled at from my mother for that. The best thing was when i fell from my house compound in my second year of degree (i was so proud of telling everyone about it and my mother was ashamed of it ;) ).

4. I used to do all the outdoor courses at home like going to shop for getting things, paying bills, going to the bank . As all these are still considered as a man's job , i have added this to the list.

5. I am too independent, i dont like if i am accompanied by anyone where ever i go.

6. I like to travel a lot, explore new places.

7. i love watching thriller, mystery filled movies and also horror movies. This same pattern goes with th the kind of books i read too. i am not too much into romantic novels and movies.

8. I dont wear any make-up stuff except kajal. I also dont know how to apply make-up, eyeliner esp has always been a mystery to me.

9. I like to hear about bikes and cars, although i dont know much about it, i do like to listen to conversations about these.

10. I always wanted to learn how to ride a bike.

Life is a bunch of roses with thorns,
Few get roses having more thorns, few get roses with less thorns.
But how is the amount of thorns determined has always been a mystery.

Life is a mystery.
For which there are many revelations depending on the different perceptions people have.

Life is a play, where everyone are just acting.
But there are many who have a sub-play in the play called life. But how long can anyone enact and stay like that. How long can anyone stick to the sub-play? May be the people who have created this sub story also cannot answer these questions.

Life is filled with emotions like anger happiness, hatred, joy, frustration, relaxation.
How can a single person handle so many emotions?

And then the ultimate question, what is life actually. There is no perfect answer for this even though there are so many answers.
May be this is only life........many answers but still known as an unanswered.

26/11

26/11, each and every radio station, TV channel, newspapers, Indian websites are talking about this. Just an year back the terrorists had created a tremor in whole of India by attacking major places in BOMBAY. Many people were killed because they were stuck in the place where the terrorists planned to create the havoc, and many people died trying to save the people stuck in the hostage situation.
What did we, the people who were not harmed on that day, who were not there in that place on the day the attacks happened do??? Nothing, we just felt bad and talked about it, cursing the government for lack of security. What did the opposition do?? Again criticize the government. What did the government do??? As usual what each and every government do when a crisis comes, PROMISES. Each and every minister promised that the only terrorist caught doing this will be punished. And again as usual we the people believed it and as usual are still waiting for the justice to be done.
For god's sake I know we are peace loving country and believe in humanity and always follow on the path of our so called father of nation Mr. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. But everything has a limit, stop giving the royal treatment to the person who killed hundreds of people, who killed many brave officers. What the heck is the government doing keeping KASAB alive and spending the public's 31 crore rupee in keeping him alive. B*****Y heck its our hard earned money that you are wasting to keep a murderer alive. Its not only spending the public's money but also you are insulting the martyrs of the 26/11, by giving royal treatment to the terrorist instead of executing him.
Its also a message that we are sending to other countries that even though you come and kick our a** and kill our people we do not trouble you but we make sure that your life is made easy, because that is what our great father of nation has thought us.' Show your other cheek to the person who slapped you'. But we are forgetting that he lived in the previous era and not this century where if we follow his preaching then the person will not only slap us on the other cheek but also will put a bullet in our head and go.
Its high time we stand against the misdeed and stop running to America and complain. Its high time we solve our own problems. Its high time we stop fighting amongst ourself about state's name and language.

Me

Am back after a loonnnnggggg hibernation .

Last night I was just thinking about myself and wat are general opinions of people about me. As usual everyone complains that i still have a child in me. Well, I dont know y everyone has a problem with that coz i am very happy that i havent stubbed the child in me. I think everyone has a child in them but they stub it saying that it wont let them be so called mature and responsibled person.

Do we really have to kill the child or stub the child in us to become mature nd responsible. I am very happy that i still like those small things that a child likes. I love getting drenched nd playing in rain , i love to sing loudly when im riding or walking on the road and don't care of people giving me stare. And I also don't care if anyone don't wanna walk next to me or come with me coz they feel embarrassed . I am happy to retain the innocence in me. I just dont give a damn to others who tell im immature or not responsible enough coz i still run when i see an ice cream shop.

Well people if u don't wanna enjoy your life and wanna remain a nerd your life then u do. Please stop telling me how to be and not to be coz i love the way i am.

Bitter Truth

Yesterday i watched Slum dog millionaire, have to agree that i was very much impressed by the bitter truth shown in the movie. But also felt bad that it took an outsider to show us the bitter truth,the dark side. Why haven't any Indian directors tried this,when will they gather the guts to direct movies with the reality as the story............Y cant they stop or reduce making the same movies with the hero and heroine running around trees and singing some senseless duet and start making movies that make some sense. There is always an argument saying that the hollywood movies are considered better than the Bollywood ones, well if the bollywood directors start making movies like dor then even it will be considered as good, instead of adding too many songs with too many actors dancing, y cant they put in some good story that makes some sense.
There are so many quality directors in India with so much potential, why didn't anyone think about telling the dreadful story of the orphaned kids living in dharvi, why are they so busy in capturing bandra and juhu, showing the hiranandani area .
I was telling my sister this movie's story, by just knowing the jist of the movie she got angry and said that 'should they give so many awards to the movie that has shown all the bad things in India'?...........Thats when I thought why are people so reluctant to agree the bitter truth . Until and unless one agrees that truth obviously we tend to remain as if that does not exist at all and as the mere existence of it itself is not accepted obvously no remedy or solution will be thought for it and that remains for ever the bitter truth of our country which we the people of India who are very much comfortable at our respective homes are not ready to believe or accept.

Hooligans/ Barbarians

Finally i am back again after many days , had too many assignments and presentation to cope up with so couldn post anything till today. Mean while my very good freind Buss Buss as i call her is getting married,which has left me in a very big danger.
Buss buss nd I met each other in 10th std, nd tat was the only year tat we studied together and became wat others call best freinds nd we call best enemies. Well we call our self best enemies coz may be the amount of fights that happens between us nd the intensity of those fights can only be between 2 worst enemies. We literally kick each other and behave like the hooligans or barbarians wat ever u wanna call us.....
But ofcourse no outsider was allowed to interfere in the fight, and after the big fight we were served with the best meal or brunch by her mom and then the full day chatting used to start.........oh im gonna miss all these once she gets married nd goes of......cha y should gals always go away wen they get married............
well an othe r debatable topic...........ll think and then post something on it. For now tats it........
