Woman Rights - Oversubscribed !

“If you want to bring out a change around you, then you be that change and what is there around you will as well change your way.”

Greet u ppl with this phrase. Sounds Great doesn't it? Having this phrase in my blog does not mean that what i've posted is such change from the routine.

Indian Learning System - Women way:

Ever since my 6th standard I've seen girls do well in exams. They follow a simple process of learning which unfortunately doesn't suit our unstructured brains one bit. Three words summarise it: Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V and in some cases Ctrl+X, Ctrl+V . Nothing more nothing less.On a more tangible front, I still do not think we have any great teachers at CA Level till date.

{Personal view 1: Women teachers beyond school level are extremely good in singing lullabies )

Why to educate a women?

Women do have a razor sharp memory.All of you will vouch for that. Indian education system does not only recognise this fact but also encourages and appeases their way of learning things.

Why?


India is a country that believes in equity. No one should have an unfair advantage over the other.

We may not give 33% in the parliament but we do give a 75:25 edge to women on the academic front.

How?

We have adapted the learning pattern to test the memory and not the intellect. Teachers award rote learning but fail to recognise the unconventional thinkers.
Marks are awarded not to practicality but only for theory sans applicability.

No, I'm neither frustrated at my non-performance nor their 'good' 'academic' performance. Just frustrated that we have to remember but not know!!
(No wonder 90% of school teachers in India are Women. With due respect to teachers I reiterate that they do not mean harm intentionally but they jus do pass on their legacy in good faith and without negligence)

[Key: Throughout this blog, “WE’ refers to the men as a whole. There are always exceptions, but the ideas are brought out based on the majority experiences ;)]

The Great Indian Feminism:
But women, especially in India do have a skewed sense of gender equality.I'm sure i'll bag the votes for this sentence too.

What?!!!

For Eg,they feel that they are not given any position of power in the Country whose President, the ORIGINAL PM as on March 30th 2009 and Decisive regional party heads are all women.

Still not convinced. A Crude example must suffice. For(e.g)most of us won't feel that consumers of alcohol and smokers are given that RIGHT but we are not. Atleast I do not.

But the way women in India are bursting into bars and nightclubs suggest otherwise.(Again based on considerable first hand experience with no jibes intended).

Not convinced? See Chennai Times Page 3 everyday. Alcoholism is bad for both genders but atleast the RIGHTS ISSUE does not arise with men.

Travelling:
There seems to be a taboo that public transport is unsafe for a woman.
In 2009, I would like not to waste my time in addressing this issue but would like to respond in 8 alphabets "Bull Shit". I do not wish to focus on exceptions.

{Personal view 2: On the other hand I feel that women travelling by public transport is safe for other commuters on the road.Scootys and Streaks are zooming around chennai like none before.Along with it many cases of rash or thoughtless driving coupled with lack of control/maneuverability.)


As the saying goes 'Saathvikama irunda kaiya thooki kumbiduvanga' applies to both the genders even in this age . It is just that it is very tough to practise it.

A Revised version of the saying goes something like this 'Attoda attagasam Asin the vida mosam'. Hope you got the issue.

Introvert:

India is a country that believes in tolerance - "Hit us in Delhi and get Mumbai free" way of living.

We all are advised that anger should be controlled and not let loose. You may get angry for just reasons. Yeah, Like workplace inefficiency, misdirected irreverence etc. But i do not feel that anger should be expressed just because we have a skewed sense/belief of equality.

Recently I heard that only girls are brought up in life with the teaching about tolerance.I vote against the view.

Jus see what happens when a boy gets angry in front of his father.[Overa pesina avanuku idi(slaps), mazhai(tears) than]

Girls DO think:

It is a common misconception of women that men around start owning the woman and taking her for granted and that they have been bestowed with brains.

Oh yeah, Seems that we have not been bestowed with it!! Studies reveal that Men are better decision makers while women are mostly unstable with theirs. Men take the care to see to that women being volatile beings do not disturb others around them due to their sometimes not thought out decisions.

This is a preventive measure than a measure curtailing people's freedom. On the other hand, girls do think, but sometimes think too much and imagine so far that is both incomprehensible and unnecessary.

The thoughts on this issue keeps pouring as it is never ending debate..
but more important is the fact that i need to hit the sack right now as to get atleast 2 hours sleep before the Ind V NZ match begins...

Laziness

Why do I love being lazy?

  1. Nobody expects any top notch results when you are working.
  2. In order to minimize effort, you tend to think of quicker ways of resolving the issue – Widely regarded by many as “Smart work”.

(By the way what does that mean? I`m 2 lazy to check out a dict. (Also read as dictionary by enlightened souls).

  1. Every inch of your inefficiency gets dubbed as lethargy. (Your ignorance on the job is blurred from their view and you buy the time to get to know the issue fully)
  2. Incidental good results pushes u into a “This guy has loads f talent but rarely uses it” category where ur bosses get perennially optimistic about your performance the NEXT time.(Famously known as ‘F Tv phenomenon’ where you beLIEve “This one isn’t good, hopefully the next will be good”)

The above personal benefits apart we’ll discuss my favorite topic, pastime and habit ­– LAZINESS

Do u understand laziness the way it is?

Laziness is often confused with words like idle, sluggish, lethargy, inertia, inactivity etc. Surrounded by these words, we often miss the richness, leisure and take it easy attitude of Laziness.


HEALTHCARE AND LAZINESS


A Lazy person is a healthy person. The very thought of going to the pathology lab for blood tests, urine tests, ECG etc, going to doctors, hospitals, alternate therapies etc sends shivers up his spine. Hence he decides to remain healthy. Does that mean he will join a gym or aerobics.

NO WAY. Hence he searches out a lazy way of remaining healthy.

A life of less stress is enough to remain healthy. Anything more is always better, but HEY WHY BOTHER.


CONTRIBUTION OF THE LAZY MAN TO INDIAN CRICKET

It is like, when he plays cricket – he chooses spin bowling over fast bowling. No wonder India has always had good spin bowlers. When Batting, he chooses to hit more fours and sixes than running like crazy to steal those cheeky singles.

So if you want more Sehwags, Yuvis and Bhajjis(No! Not the one fried in the tea shop. I meant one fried in the cricket ground during the match!), .....

.. .. .. .. Appreciate laziness!! : )

LAZINESS AND HABITS


Laziness also keeps him away habits of Smoking, drinking and drugs. He does not understand the stress filled lifestyle, then spend the hard earned money on smoking, drinking, entertainment etc, and more money to doctors to remove cholesterol, high blood pressure, invite diabetes etc.

So Laziness bypasses this whole cycle. He takes it easy and spends his time more on planning for traveling for Leisure and to be with Nature (his nature).


THE LAZY FINANCIAL WHIZ

The Lazy person plans for an early retirement, and this makes him work hard at his profession. He will pick up work which is best suited to his nature and gets rewarded appropriately. The whole game of Name and Fame, coming ahead of others, power play, politics, competition, leg pulling etc is not interesting to him. (Who has the time and energy for all this, when you can enjoy your time with your friends / family in the comfort of your house.)



Being Lazy does not mean taking shortcuts. It means walking slowly on your path, observing, enjoying the journey, and having lots of patience – because the journey can be long.

If one is too stressed up about reaching your goal then you miss the leisure of walking and enjoying. Upon reaching your goal, the active person will not stop and enjoy – but will setup his next goal.

The Lazy person will search for a shade under a tree to relax when he reaches his goal. There are many Lawns, gardens with beautiful flowers created by active person – but they never find time to sit in them.

A Lazy person is often accused of being a day dreamer, of having the ability to achieve much more, but not using it to its full potential (I fit in here by sheer accident), not participating in all the formalities, rituals of the society etc – but hey – WHO CARES.. .
