Me – ‘Hi Mom, how are you?’ Mom – ‘Hi, I was waiting for you call yesterday’ Me – ‘Ah… why?’ Mom- - ‘Well, yesterday was your weekly holiday and you usually call on that day’ She had been waiting for my call. Suddenly, realization hit me. Parents look forward and wait for their children to call or visit them. Their lives, even after children grow up, revolve around them but in a different way. But how much time and thought do WE give our parents other than what is duty bound? Do our lives revolve around theirs? I am not insinuating that we do not appreciate them or love them. It is the time factor. How much TIME do we give our parents? The sentence - ‘Well, yesterday was your weekly holiday and you usually call on that...

"You've Come a Long Way, Baby"

Hello Abhijit.

This is an excellent article relating to the role of the media in instilling complexes in women with the portrayal of the ‘Perfect’ woman. Till the end of the last century, the female was to a great extent considered the weaker gender but that is changing fast, notably in the urban areas.

Today, the media is slowly but surely running out of options of frowning down at women & changing its tune and playing it both ways, especially with the portrayal of the perfect metro sexual man of the 21st century!
‘Fair and Lovely for men’, ‘Clear shampoo for men’ to be rid of dandruff, salons where an increasing number of men are going for facials, perfect eye brows, waxing of their hairy chests, acne treatment etc etc
A man’s intelligence and qualifications is not enough for him to get a good job these days. He has to have the perfect metro sexual look too, particularly in the lucrative corporate world of the metropolis.

Looking for the ‘Perfect’ woman was a male prerogative but that is changing as well and women are also looking for the ‘Perfect’ man.. In the present day, women find it hard to find mentally compatible partners and men find women who can think for themselves a threat.

The bottom line is that both men and women have strengths, weaknesses, differences and they need each other too. The media is a powerful engine which can be instrumental in propagating equal rights thus striking the necessary balance between the two genders for peaceful co-existence and respect for each other.

Dear Margery,

You seemed to have penned down my thoughts, feeling and questions.
'we are filled with the essence of being when we feel love' is so true.
It keeps one alive.
Something to hope for and look forward to gives a purpose to live.

Relationships. Can one cycle in and out of relationships? I suppose some can and I would not think much of them as the other party is bound to be emotionally hurt beyond repair

Relationships (between husband and wife, parents and offsprings, friends) change the form of connection or frequency as you put it.with maturity, age, present times and location. If all parties understand the changes and adapt/adjust to them, the relationship can last a lifetime and the cycle does not necessarily have to end.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and I wish no special relationship ever comes to an end.

Regards, Ishwari
