What Women Want


It is said that it's impossible to understand a woman. 
What makes women happy?
How to keep  a women contempt?
Why do women overreact?
When would women grow up?

These are some million dollar questions that have remained unanswered for centuries. 'To treat a woman equally or specially' can actually be the most difficult and entertaining topic of a debate ever.

I think that the confusion presists because of various practices followed with or by women. Not only evil practices, but also customary pursuits such as daily worshiping of gods at home, watering the sun and taking care of children are all done by women in the family. However, exceptions are always there, but I have not seen men doing such chores in everyday life.

Some of my friends complain that what's the fuss around this elated International Women Day. I have only one answer to them - "International Men Day also exists; onus in on oneself to celebrate it.”

About social issues, women need to be treated equally as there are many practices whose virtue make women feel insecure and insulted. When the husband dies, lest the jewellery and normal wear, the soulmate is supposed to sit and sleep on floor for some days. No such sadistic practicies is expected from the other soulmate when wife dies. If a woman is unable to manage her home and family at the same time, family and friends advise her to quit her job and it is considered absolutely normal. However, if it comes to men labeled as incapable, he has to face humiliation from society, family and friends per se! 

Special treatments feel blissful. Opening the door, pulling the chair, giving a hand to step up or down  - all these are of no use to display respect when the same woman is treated as a secondary choice for jobs and the man are abusive at his own house. Expensive gifts from someone special are worthless without his or her precious time. 

Following are some lines which might help answer the question - "What women want?".

She gets excited
All by a tiny flower

She feels honoured
All by a little pamper

She goes happy
All by some time

She flies on clouds
All by a quick hug

She hits the high
All by a modest achievement

She feels blessed
To have a parent
To have a sibling
To have a lover
To have a child.

She - The Woman
Want just some space
Space in family
Space in society
Space in HEART.
