Married monsters!

It seems everyone is getting married these days and if you ask me honestly I have no problem with it but I do share my disgust with particular kinds. These are people who forget their individuality, their personality as if it never existed or they have got incarnated..so much into this  marriage stuff. 

Their talks, their pics, their FB profile everything stinks of obsession, obsession with marriage. They stop calling you, then they stop picking up your call, they only appear in-two's or may be three's everywhere. I mean once my friend brought her kid into the mall, and I was like, what-to-do or how to behave now. All my  three best friends have got married, two are also having kids :D 

Decisions

Fuck! I am so stuck.
Don’t know what to do.
What to choose and what to leave behind.
In any case, I’ll be feeling bad afterwards..

Can I have my Krishna here?

'Carrie' me along


I love Carrie Bradshaw from “sex and the city”.
She is the woman of substance. I hope her; Sarah Jessica Parker, in real life too is same as my Carrie. I love her lifestyle, her lucid writings, her dressing sense, her way of dealing things, no matter how stupid they were. I love the way she used to come to a conclusion, the storytelling she used to do was brilliant. She’s got some amazing friends which I truly admire, for they are genuine people. When I see them, it feels I’m one of them. I know one person she truly loved was Mr. Big. He liked her too but I don’t know what his problem was. May be he was commitment phobic. Now-a-days everyone is. In a way it is good, making no commitment is better than a fake commitment. I love the Manhattan streets, it feels I have already done a visual course through the series many times, but I would love to go there sometime, sit in the same Chinese restaurant or the same breakfast joint where these ladies used to go. Hope they are all the same. It was her Birthday on 26th March, and mine a day later, feels good to know about that too.
Quoting a dialogue by Carrie:
"The most important thing in life is your family. There are days you love them and others you don’t, but in the end they’re the people you always come home to. Sometimes it’s the family you’re born into. And sometimes it’s the one you make for yourself."

Bad Choice

What is wrong with Ms. Padukone? After her show with the cleavage drama she’s back with the pseudo-women empowerment stint. Somebody please tell her to first go home, finish schooling and then come back, seems sh's drunk the entire time. It also seems she lacks basic sense in everything. Maybe she’s become too attention seeker. No doubt, her films aren’t doing well. But what was that, literally? My Choice? Really!
Would opening your bra strap makes you empower? Would having sex pre or post marriage empower you? If that does, then I am sorry, you need to take some medication.  One need to know first, who actually needs empowerment in this country? Not those women who are in dilemma to have sex or not, but those who are crushed to have an opinion in a joint family or those who don’t have a say if their family wants her to abort the girl child and only have a boy child. It’s those people. I am sure there are lot bigger issues than thinking of loving someone or lusting forever. I used to dislike Sonakshi Sinha earlier, but damn, at least she has better mind than you. Learn from her, it’s never too late.

Unfortunately, there are still people especially women, who felt so empowered watching that video for reasons unknown to me. Just imagine, if men stop acting when you say you hate their beer belly or you want to have a gold jewelry, what if they also start having sex post-marital saying it is his choice, or what would you say to a man who refuses to marry because you had a consensual sex with him with a thought that he would marry, but now he has made his CHOICE, and now you file a rape case against him? Would you give him the same privilege? No! I am sure NO! Why, because there are so many pseudo- feminist existing in this country who will cry every time for equality and women empowerment but when it comes to having real equality among beings, they shudder!

Being a woman, I also seek empowerment for all those who needs it, like Sonakshi said: we are living a luxurious life; it should go to the deep ends of the society. But, I am also pretty clear that empowerment doesn't mean that you are above the rest.  It means you are equal with everyone else. In this case, Men & Women. Not only the video was hostile, but also sadly ineffective. I do understand that Ms. Padukone must have had good intentions before doing this video, but she should shape her thoughts prior and consult at least ten people before publishing her thoughts.

Let the equality and empowerment prevail!
Hope no one is suppressed and everyone has right to love their life freely.
