Now .... This is how I get my KICK !!!

It so happened that we were returning from our trek to Rohida fort and while coming back we couldn't get any conveyance so we started walking on the road. Just then a Maruti Van stuffed with people passed up, we hailed it and the driver stopped.10 people were already sitting inside so my friend Nikhil said "Aashish let us wait for another car as this is too filled" but I said wait, we requested the villagers to make place for us, believe me it was humanly not possible to adjust 3 of us more and yet those villagers were so kind that readjusted themselves,infact one of the women requested the college going girl to sit on her lap so that 2 of us could be seated.

All the way back I was wondering how different we city people are, In our quest for survival to earn money we have become so much indifferent to our fellow human beings that even when we see an old lady or man standing we rarely offer a seat. In local trains if one is fortunate to get the famous half bum fourth seat to sit the person has to request the other 3 seated people to move ahead. Very rarely I have seen them on there own making the fourth seat available. It saddens me to no end to see this self centered selfish approach.

Time and time again this humbleness and helpfulness of village folks leave me overwhelmed with happiness and gratitude.On so many treks these villagers have selflessly provided us with food, water and shelter expecting nothing in return. The smile on their faces simply make my day. 

Watching this smile, the humbleness, that shy waving of hand is how I get my high, this is how I get my Kick !!!

 

 

Should girls be allowed to make a career ?

You may wonder what a stupid question to ask especially in today's time. Well this whole idea of writing this blog germinated out of a small discussion which at a point almost drifted to been an argument.There were 2 sides to the above question with me defending it and at the other point someone close to me opposing it.


So first let me put down my side of story.

1. I always feel whosoever it be, a boy or a girl should have complete access to education.
2. Education is a tool we give to our children to cope with life in future.
3. I personally feel that girls should be encouraged more to pursue  higher studies so it provides them with more empowerment.                                                                                                                                

Now the other side of the story :

1. Allow only basic education like graduation to girls.
2. Girls who try to make a career end up not adjusting in the family.
3. Domestic Chores get neglected (my argument was they can always hire a domestic help)
4. Girl even if they become engineers or other professional have to dump everything at the alter of the marriage.(my argument was that it could be parents or girls mistake to select non professional family to get married into.there is a better possibility that a family of professionals would never want there bride to dump her career.

And the argument went on and on.

I just wanted a feedback from you guys and girls out there how far this myth is true that a career girl cannot be a good housewife. I am using the word myth because i do not believe in this thought.

Please do give me your sincere feedback.

Thanks
