Aaj ki Naari

She’s smart, intelligent, opinionated, outgoing, independent and open-minded in both thought and action. She has all the qualities which our society would not generally associate with women. Women are inherently supposed to be quiet, meek, obedient and dependent. But SHE dares to be different. She is the figure of a modern woman.
Her contribution to society is not limited to that of an obedient daughter, an ideal wife and a doting mother. Today, women have come out of their shells and have asserted their freedom. They are well-educated, they live on their own, they go out partying (with or without the other gender), they drink and smoke along with their male counterparts (it is a matter of personal choice), they earn as much as if not more than their male counterparts and they are liberated in the truest sense of the word.
Who gives a shit to what the society expects from women!! Shouldn’t they have the freedom to hold the reins of the life? Why should the society dictate terms to them just by virtue of their supposedly inferior gender?
What bothers me is that why is our society so hypocritical? Why is it that there are different rules for men and women? If a man is physically involved with someone, he is said to be asserting his manhood. However, if a woman does the same she is presumed to be a “whore”. If a man has multiple affairs he is looked up to as a stud or a dude. However when a woman has multiple affairs, her character is questioned. What the fuck!! Its high time women take note of this discrimination and fight against it. It’s the 21st century guys. We shouldn’t let anyone take control of our lives. Why should we be scared to do something that we feel is right? Do men ever need permission to do their own thing, then why do women have to plead for permission?
I hope that all the women reading this blog pay serious heed to this. After all we are the “Aaj ki Naaris” and we should truly prove so in our thought and actions.
