Hello everybody, and glad to be back..! On Women's day, here goes:
The Indian ethos offers a huge array of relations, right from grandfather, father, uncle, mama, elder-bro, kid-bro, boy-friend, hubby, jiju, son, damad, grandson, etc. for women. We have a similar list for men like Dadi, mom, mausi, bua, sis, girl-friend, wife, brother's wife, son's wife, etc. Each of these relationships has a certian distinct character, which can be experienced ONLY in Joint Family Cultures (i.e. From Middle East onwards to Japan). There are many things in our lives which only a Woman could have done for us. As also, there are many things in women's lives which only a Man could have done for them. The relations between Men and Women are like exploring the layers of an onion. You go on peeling each layer hoping to get to the bottom of the man-woman relationship, but when you actually reach the core, you find NOTHING or maybe a hint of the next generation. Then one questions, if there was nothing at the core, where/what is the man-woman relationship? And the answer emerges, "That was the whole onion which you peeled away, dude!! You were so busy peeling, you never noticed the layers you discarded!" The BASIC CORE relationship is simply about the next generation, but that is NOTHING in the whole onion. The really enjoyable part is about all those extremely varied layers. The more layers one is able to experience in their lives, the bigger will be THEIR onion of man-woman relationship!
A sincere thanks to all the women in my life!
