Women's Day
It's the fire in my eyes
And the flash of my teeth
The swing of my waist
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally
Phenomenal woman
That's me.

To each beautiful woman on this earth.Happy Women's Day.
Honestly speaking i didnt know the concept existed,but for a coupla years back.I think it's come into fashion recently.Its on TV,local radio,newspapers everywhere...Jewellery shops are making it an excuse for selling ;Radio jockeys are doling out free tickets to women ;TV shows especially created on women to increase TRPs;Hot shots giving their respective views on women and empowerment(Half of the buggers probably beat up their wives at home)..etc etc.Im sure Archies and Hallmarks came up with greeting cards for the day.The drama would have continued through the day.Chidambaran must have been a happy man;we're getting closer to our GDP target.
I call it a big farce,especially in our country.
The other day,I actually heard a remark in office on the Jessica Case which went like this,"...She shouldnt have been working in the bar,wearing small skirts that she was...it was bound to happen" .And this came from a guy who was in his late-twenties and well educated .Unbeleivable.God save the women of this country.I dont wanna go on about this...the press and the media have blown the issue enough.
As for me,lots of "women's day" sms's did come to me,mostly from my female friends.The point, is that, i think we women indulged in the spirit of the day amongst ourselves,the male clan could be least bothered except for when it came to increasing business.
My boss did present each lady in office with a red rose,sweet of him to try and make each one of us feel special.Thank you,Sir.
The rest of the day went as usual,the hullabaloo continued.Tomorrow morning the same old story as yesterday shall continue.All i would say is ,Be Strong & Dare to Dream on....Lastly,to me,every single day is "Women's day" to me cos i revel in the spirit of womanhood every minute of my life!
And the flash of my teeth
The swing of my waist
And the joy in my feet.
