Being Common or Unique?

I have claims to make to self
For, I know myself very well
But what I project is not actually me
Trying to fit in, is all I do
But being different is what I want to?

No, it's not just me
Look around, everyone
is trying to be sheep in the herd
Just as in the flocks does a bird

That's how we break our own goals
make fool of ourself
procrastinate and later regret

No, I am unique
How but only in my head
Then I give in! No
No, I just choose comfort
That turns me into a common being

Though wishing to be unique
we continue doing the same things. Sigh..

Another Perspective of Empowering Women

She does not know it!!! While thinking and travelling across city streets I am quite into a habit of observing the most unnoticeable things. Today when I was driving myself and feeling wonderful about it or say more empowered, my thoughts wandered on how can every woman be made strong and independent by getting the privilege of driving. My thoughts were blown away by the sight of a thin lady clad in typical south style saree behind hundreds of tender coconut bunches. What dismayed me was the tool in her hand that looked out of place. For she was a petite figure holding a huge knife with a strong grip and using it fearlessly to chop off the hard coconut shells. I have seen this kind of scene before but today it shook me for how I was looking at women empowerment and privilege women seek. Why don't we appreciate these ladies who take up work which is not considered her type by society? Why are they left? I felt they are already empowered. They are strong mentally, psychologicall...
