to-be-or-not-to-be- A Woman!!
"The swayamvara was mine
The decision my father's...
My life was pledged to a bow and arrow
My life an offering to the shooter of the fish...
Years went by... we
Started on our journey's end towards the snow clad Himalayas
I fell first, no Pandava stretched a hand
Towards paradise they walked,
Then i realised heaven too must be only for men. "
(I, Draupadi)
well, if this be true, how beautiful would it be for a sinner:) zooming up to the hell(s) above!!
knocking on heaven's door?nah.... to come full circle in death, the devil's den would be colourful!!i guess we would never get the equilibrium with gender bias... on one hand therez fancy poetry eulogising 'em and then again all around we have signs of macho chauvinism. it is really difficult to objectively evaluate the place of women in the social canvas.

well,
Its the irnoy of the situation today...even after so many yrs..we still have to ask "to be or not to be woman!"
interesting..
was then and still is.. a man's world..
well sadly,
this is still the truth in india today...hope its changes someday soon!
gender inequality is a tricky thing...
now i am not even sure equality is what women really want...
it's something else that we are looking for but for the lack of a better word call it equality...
your post however serious reminds me of the cheesy line i heard at 14 and had sworn to live by at that time...
GOOD GIRLS GO TO HEAVEN BAD GIRLS GO EVERYWHERE...
heaven sounds boring anyway...
wow!! silbil... heaven never sounded like 'the' destination for me too!
'what women want?'seen the mel gibson movie...?
its just like tat... u need to be the magic man to know any woman as to what wud they really want.. hahaha.. still the lightening strikes me n enlightens me... ill be this way.. trying to figure my way out:)
@silbil: I read something on similar lines too, but it read :Good girls are bad girls who don't get caught:)
@der bergwind:women's equality is an oxymoron, at times. On one hand, women fight for reservation- in Parliament, in buses wherever. If possible, they'll ask a place in Heaven too. And then they cry for equality.I think most of us need to get our basics straight-what is it that we really want?
The problem with society is that they cannot digest the all feminine aura.
