Remembering woman

The journey

At the dawn, she will unite with breeze to announce the coming of light……

At eventide, she will join the birds to bid farewell

She looks up to see the light

She never looks down to see her shadow

This is the wisdom

“Men must learn”

This is a girl, a woman, who completes a family. A girl, who is an epitome or rather a perfect blend of a dexterous mind embedded with the colours of love, the zeal of life, the fragrance of feelings and yet she is “the iron lady”

She is the light of darkness, the voice of silence, the sight of the night and off course the strength of the right!!!!!

“a women completes a family”- women is like a continuous dialogue between past and present. she is the link or rather that thread which binds all of its pearls into one string .

Sarcastically, the plight of the Indian society is such that the girl is killed in the womb itself, forgetting the fact that she is the one who will form a “family”

From her birth till her death she transforms the little petty things to bigger or larger deeds of happiness, prosperity and serenity.

According to the Hindu mythology, “a girl is considered “goddess laxmi”

And indeed she is!
From her childhood when she is in a tender stage of learning her elementary basics her heart develops like a full ripened fruit , her mind like a full bloomed flower and her soul like a whole majestic power.

Everybody in the family is depended on her. She enfolds a special relation with each one in the family. She is the darling of her dad, mighty power of her mom, grandeur of her grandparents and yes a threat to her brother!
She takes all the relations like her different corners of her heart. And even one is affected her heart aches.

When she is send to a school ,there she establishes her own identity-as I , me , myself and not even compromises on her basic ethics, her education is not confined to herself ,ironically it just spreads ,spreads and spreads………..

As times fades away we witness her change from a bud to a full bloomed flower and is ready to bid farewell to her abode……….to become the light of someone else’s home. a new path anew life.

Her life glorifies first as a baby girl then as a daughter, a sister, a beautiful glowing teenager, a responsible young adult, a magnanimous married woman and a focused professional!

It’s only a woman who can give rise to a new soul! Have we wondered why???? This gift of THE ALMIGHTY is just given to her as she has the maximum ability to bear pain and still smile!

As Shakespeare clearly mentions the seven stages of life but what I feel is it’s only a woman who portrays them graciously!


She is the pedestal of this world.

So remember dear friends “when you kill a girl child”

There is a vacuum created which cannot be filled by anything else……….

Except herself!

Lastly, in the words of William words worth

“The reason firm, the temperate will

Endurance, foresight, strength and skill;

A perfect woman nobly planned,

To warn, to comfort and to command;

And yet a spirit still and bright with something of angelic light”

I agree with what you're saying, beautiful writing aside. The fact that in Indian homes , family is the strongest bond. The 'family maker' as you put it, is suppressed.
Saddening.

"shout shout let it all out.

"A son is a son.. till he gets his wife,
A daughter is a daughter.. for all her life!!"

Its time people woke up...
