March 8 is celebrated as International Women’s Day. There is no harm in celebrating days dedicated to some event. But the point is that we need to carry the essence of the celebrations to each day of the year and not keep it reserved for only particular day only.
Talking of Women’s Day I can say, everyday needs to be a Women’s Day. We don’t celebrate any Men’s Day. So does that mean – we celebrate only one out of the three hundred and sixty five days as women’s day. To obtain equality of sexes, women need to make efforts on their own part as well. They should not demand recognition for their work. Instead their deeds, actions and the work done should itself do the talking. In order to earn respect from the men’s world, they need to respect themselves first of all. Respecting oneself entails understanding one’s own capacities and abilities, and not underestimating oneself. It also includes not being dependant on others for things that can be done well independently.
To end on a lighter note, I would like to share a message I received yesterday:
‘Practice makes a man perfect.’ So what about women?
They don’t need any practice, they are born perfect.
We girls rock!!!
Moreover, “Never blame a girl, she teaches better than anyone else. If she is with you, she’ll teach how to live; if she leaves, she’ll teach how to survive.”
