Cheers! Men too have their day

As usual I overslept again today morning and was getting late for office. I just had enough time to either grab a sandwich or read the headlines of the newspaper kept right at the door. While I was still in two minds, these lines caught my attention "Cheers! Men have their day too" and after reading this line, the choice became obvious.

And this was the most weird article I have read since last so many days. Not because it says about celebrating Men's Day but because of the reasons it gives. The first reason it stated reminded me of Shylock's famous speech

"I am a Jew. Hath not a Jew eyes? Hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions; fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer as a Christian is? If you prick us do we not bleed? If you tickle us do we not laugh? If you poison us do we not die? "

In the above speech replace 'Jew' with 'Man' and 'Christian' with 'Women or Mother or a million other things'. Is there no better reason to celebrate Men's Day than this silly comparison. It seems a few men felt pity on being men and they said "Enough..!! Now we will also have a day dedictaed to us..".

I am not against celebrating Men's Day but atleast not for such reasons. The article further says "men are treated as ATMs and ‘sperm donors’ and are thus exploited." If men and women are given equal opportunities to learn and earn, if only it does not hurt the male ego when women are the bread earners of their family, they would no longer be treated as ATMs.

Men's day should be seen as a day to celebrate the integrity and importance of men in the society and not just by comparing other days' celebration or by finding some exploitation reasons.

I celebrate Men's Day because men give a meaning to the world and life and the world would not be the same without them. Happy Men's Day..!!!

Welcome..!!

Almost every second chat starts with WASSUP....n almost all the time, I have the same reply...'nothing much...same usual boring life...ghar se ofc..ofc se ghar...' And this had to be repeated so often that finally I had to do something to change the course of all chats.

Thus after spending entire saturday on my bed with the laptop and gtalk, I got up that evening with a resolution to do something new...something exciting..and ended up with having two new friends.

Buying these cute lil fishes, I felt the joy of a new friendship...the warmth of a new relation...




Now I dont wake up only to see the walls of my house and come back in the evening to the lonely house. I have a reason to get up a bit early from my routine...someone's waiting for me to change the water...someone's waiting for me to give them food....I have a reason to come back home asap in the evening...someone's waiting for me for dinner...

And obviously...now I have something to chat about when people say WASSUP....
