Pen Parenting And People

Disclaimer: I solemnly swear I am  up to no good and any incident/ character or instances are deeply influenced by every individual living or dead in my social circle. ( #pokerface) With due credits to social media, national media and our not so informed generation (P.S Irony is that this post will go live on social media :-P), our vocabulary is pretty rich now. We have learnt empowerment, equality, appeasement, uplift, sexism,gender bias and many more. Isn't it all too simple , " We just do what we can and not stereotype".And someone rightly told me... there is no " His" job or " Her" job and its just a job. Many of my female friends who vouch for being treated as equals with men , sometimes get very very ambiguous. Like at work place we need equal treatment , equal pay but need need a guy to get up when the train compartment is full, so they can sit. Getting your boy's hair cut at the salon also needs the man of the house to sort. What...

You made me realize , I need to think on my own too. To that friend , who inferred that college was about having fun and not taking life seriously. I owe you my transition phase from being a pupa to a butterfly. You guided me to the dark ravines of failure and humiliation. This helped me rise up , when I re...

A lot has been debated, written and spoken about equality, women's liberation , gender bias, feminism and what not. Recent events of debauchery against women have also gathered enough moss and every individual is ranting that either the men are carnivores or the women are immoral. But my boy, as your mother , I have a few things to tell you , a few things you must understand...... A woman is not an entertainment package and it really is none of your business to police her. Her mother or father are enough to do that. Her clothes may be provocative or not ( that's a different debate altogether !!!) , It is none of your point to ponder or gather cheap and lechy fun. There are umpteen other means of frivoliting. My boy, you were not brought up to feel pompous, feel superior but were brought up to value every significant entity around you with respect and regard. Sensitivity is what should be synonymous to you. Sensitive men are indeed awesome. Sensitive men are always pursued. M...
