Women on Top!!

Newspapers, news channels, entertainment channels, print ads, almost just everything
had one common thing today.....Women's Day!

Celebrating womanhood, women emancipation, women on par with men, women raring to go ahead in every walk of life....wow! its so nice to hear these jargons...but how many women are really enjoying it!

The fact is, not many.

If only this effort, time and money was put into benefitting many more deserving women, who aren't as lucky as many of us.

The very fact that I woke up today to read some disturbing news about attrocities on women, not one, but three different news articles, in the same newspaper which had a few pages dedicated to celebrating women's day!!
Thats the irony in today's world.

Its so easy to ignore the brutal reality and embrace a 'make believe' world, which sadly is a distant dream for many women who are silently suffering.

Happy Women's Day to all the brave,courageous women who are fighting a silent battle against abusive men somewhere.... who knows, maybe in a house next door.

@rafique and seene,
So true.
We have a long way to go, before we can genuinely celebrate Woman's Day!
