Female Empowerment

We, the women in INDIA are treated more shabbily than the ones in our neighboring countries.  And in work space its even worse.  Patriarchal hegemony from society enters the work place.
All sexual harassment must be taken seriously. There is no little or more harassment.
This post is a general pointer for you and me:

1) "You must increase your tolerance"- If anyone tells you this whilst you are discussing a violation that happened to you, please walk away. This person has no business to be talking to you. And report this person.
2) "Holding hands, hugging is okay"- Sorry, It may be ok for you. But not for me. I choose who I want to hold hands and hug.
3) "It has happened to me. And see me now"!- Your experiences are not my yardstick. Too bad you are a weakling. I am not.
4)" Treat all that happened as experience" - Fuck you! My experience is my hard work, my dignity and esteem. That I was used is not experience for me.
5) " You move out of the department and we will place you elsewhere" - Excuse me! I an the one violated. Why should I move out. The person who made me feel so has to move out.
6)" He had fatherly feeling for you. You must respect that" - Fuck you again. My father does not make me feel like this. Does yours?
7) " Don't forget he has got you here. He is your mentor: - Super! So I sell my body to him?
8) ' You are not raped. no? - No, I am not raped. I was not held down physically and raped. But I felt a larger sense of exploitation. Do you understand, you screwball?
9) "You took so long to complain, so while the going was good you had no problem"- YOU IDIOT! I need this job. I bore cos naturally I thought things will change, They did not,
10) "Lets move on. Every one has learned their lesson'-  YOU MORON! I don't want everyone to learn their lesson. I want corrective action. In ancient societies its called punishment.

Women, please, you are a part of a rapidly changing society . You are empowered. Victimhood does not suit you. You are a part of industrialization and economics,
Speak up against oppression.

Who is your Manager? Modern Mahabharata!!!

Types of Managers:

Dhritarashtra:  Blind. Totally. Guided by another and gives his expert opinions based on the narration. Not a doer.

Sanjay: A narrator of events. Makes no opinion. But knows who the boss is. Albeit blind.

Yudhistra: Thinks he is righteous. Follows the rule book. Risk taker. But the stakes may be questionable.

Arjuna: The model manager . Shoots to kill with his team and shares. A leftist. Shares everything.

Bhima: No subject knowledge. Flexes his muscles and tackles the situation.  If he wins he does or he falls flat.

Karna: The underdog. Never rewarded. Keeps crying at every forum. Takes the battle to the end. But never wins it. The end is always certain. He gets killed.

Duryodhan: The guy who will get his target at every cost. Damn values and people.

Bhishma:  The most knowledgeable man. But has not progressed . A lot of respect and all praises. Many may turn up at his retirement party.

Drona: The insecure manager. Will maim his subordinate to aid nepotism. Dangerous to work with

Krishna:  A strategic person. Will philosophize and also create illusions. May create SOPs

AND

Draupadi: Has a gender benefit.  Arrogant. Does not put her foot down.  Capable of creating wars. And expects someone to rescue her always.

Come on, citizens of the Empire tell the bird who your manager is!!
Or has the bird missed any!

Plumage!!!!

Queen Elizabeth cannot visit the Empire (she wears a hat)
Hilary Clinton cannot visit the Empire (she wears short skirts)
Merkel , Germany ( she wears short skirts)
Angelina Jolie definitely cannot

On the other side

Donald Trump can
Andaleeb (lady asking for separate Kashmir) can.
Most of the Taliban can
All the above are dressed properly

as per

a  new fatwa , in the Empire ,on the feathers we wear. The author of this fatwa is P Freud. And if all the members of the Empire follow this fatwa they will look like P Freud, Goldfish and Vapidity.

The fatwa lacks punch words like decorum and is more like the personal taste of an individual's clothes.
Did the Empire  need this? No!

The fatwa only has to take care of decorum. Decorum is relative.
The criminals normally wear a suit and tie not tattoo and stripes!

But the bird is beautiful. She will show off her plumage and fly high. She can do it because she does not live on the ground of the Empire.

Fly with the bird!


 

Kathal achaar ( jack fruit pickle)

Heat Panch phoron in mustard oil
When it splutters add red chilly
Then vinegar
Let it boil
Add a bit hing
A little jaggery
Add in the kathal (jackfruit)
Keep it in a summer sun  in a ceramic jar ,as long as it is there
Eat it with lachcha or plain paratha!

My tribute to UP and Pragya Bharati from there!

The new ten!!!

To mothers and mothers!

Today is Mother's day. And the electronic media and print media is buzz with wishes. Fake and false!  Nine months and a lifelong role is a mother is back breaking.

For all the mothers from me:

1) take care of yourself. Sons and daughters and husbands go. You are eternal . You stay on.

2)never lose your feminity. Color your eyes with kohl , experiment with a new shade of lipstick .

3) invest in a hobby

4) have a house of your own

5)be in a position to earn money, always!

6) have friends of your own who you can talk to.

7) keep yourself fit. Fat is not done. It's unhealthy.

8) wear clothes of your choice. Damn them who judge. It's your body.

9)Say no to sex if you are tired or unwell.  

10)you'r stretch marks are your tattoo . Get another one if you want to.

11) remember when they have children they will think of you. May call you to take care of their kids. Be strong if you have to say no!

12) do not clutter your mind with useless and negative information. Learn to move away from swamps.

13)Don't fret to be included everywhere. You are better off where you are.

14) Secure your phones and laptops with passwords that only you can open. You also need privacy.

15) say no when you have to. Don't break your back by making your yeses happen.

16) and lastly you are Shakti. Strength . You can create and you can destroy .

Happy mother"s day!
