I love watching Nat. Geo.
Wild; once while watching it I happened to come across life style of Lions. The
screen showed a big family of Lions, Lioness and cubs. It seemed they had
relaxed, enjoyed the shade of the tree and the breeze of the season. Life is
not only about living in the present but also about planning for the near
future and the near future was about feeding the whole family. It was meal
time.
The three Lionesses took
the lead. The considerations those demanded attention were; they should look for
a big kill (to feed the whole family), isolating the big animal from its big
and defensive herd and finally overpower it, would it be easy? The only way left
was to stop thinking and start acting.
It took careful
consideration spotting a prey but it was not alone. Isolating it happened only
after difficult maneuvering, often interrupted by sporadic fight back from the
herd. The final phase was yet to be accomplished; driving the claws and the
flesh-tearing teeth deep down in to the body of the buffalo till it gives up.
It took few minutes for the task. The buffalo lay dead, the whole family started
enjoying the meal while the three Lioness stayed back. They joined when most of
them had finished.
In the human society too
since the art of agriculture came into existence women have taken the lead and
contributed a lot. Go to the rural areas you will still find queue of women
return home after a full day work in the fields. It is not only about the rural
front; look wherever you can lay your eyes on,
home front, education front, office front, war front, political front
and even space front, are they not contributing working shoulder to shoulder
with men?
Few minutes before
writing this blog I was scrolling down my facebook account, when I came across
a post carrying a remark on a beautiful teacher. The remark read “When such
beautiful teacher is around the chance of clearing the exams are a round (zero)”
There were 29 likes and a comment read “May be my ATKT could be due to this
reason” Appreciating someone’s beauty is one thing and blaming someone’s beauty
is another. I think somewhere we went wrong in up-keeping and guarding values.
Think our family to be a
cart having two wheels and the passengers to be the kids. Imagine one wheel to
be the father and the other to be the mother. What if the father doesn't move
in harmony with the mother’s motion? The journey doesn't stop, it is not
destined to stop, continue it will but teaching bitter lessons and
disrespectful attitude which reflects when the children reach adulthood flexing
their muscles and exhibiting their strength.
Dec 16, 2012 a
23-year-old female physiotherapy intern was beaten and gang raped in a bus by six persons,
passed away 13 days later. That day onward every day, news paper and news
channels carry unabated reports of rape incidents. I feel sick when I think
where is the society, the legislature, the judiciary and the administrations
heading for. Are they lost???
Surgeons say, we can
stitch torn vaginas but we cannot stitch torn minds. Judges do admit: Justice
delayed is justice denied. Let us
address this cause and create an atmosphere of trust and respect. We the men
owe it to the Ladies.
If she wouldn't have wished we wouldn't have existed.
