Narishakti ---- to wake us up from the slumber

As has been the tradition it has always been women who have woken you, me everyone up from the deep slumber ...whether it is ur Mom, ur sister , ur wife (not yet for me) ... ur girlfried, sweetheart, dreamgirl, crush keeps u woken up through nights of starry loneliness
and if not for this .. studies have woken us up and kept us awake for long ... (studies or the Goddess Saraswati ...) Money or the lack of it keeps the rich and the poor awake ... ( Goddess Lakshmi) ... and if ever u do any misdeeds .. Durga the Goddess will wake u up ....
well so much to establish the ever powerful , ever soulful , ever earnest creation that women around u are .... and what calls for this celebration of womanhood is not because i m getting married or have gotten smitten ... but because ..for the first time in 60 years of our existence as a nation .. we will have a Feminine Head of State .. Ms. Pratibha Patil will be sworn in as the president of India on July26 and it should be a proud moment for all of us as a nation ... we have left behind USA .. who in there 230 years of existence have never had a female head of state ... and it is a shame on any nation to talk so much about equal existence and rights and be so hypocritical in their actions ...
I know this is a small gesture only as President's seat is more of decorative post .. but i hope it is a step in the right direction ..and we can really see the equality we talk about not only in the cities but in the most backward villages of this nation too

In complete agreement Sir! Lets just hope Ms. President lives up to the expectations of the 65% Indians that voted for her. Also liked the observation - always been woken up by women! Cant live with or without eh? :)
