Step out

When you step out and still do not step out,

You go on that luxury vacation to feel good

But your mind is where it has always stood.

Endlessly thinking of expenses rather than relaxing.

About office politics, salary increments,

and worst of all if you find a fellow colleague

though the location and landscape changes

you are still at work- worried and anxious

having the same discussions.


So step out first from that mental space,

before you step into a nice place.

The change you want is impossible

just going for a vacation isn't sensible.

Rather engage in an such a activity that rejuvenates

Where you take a note and appreciate

all little things you overlooked off late.


Push yourself to think through and step out in a real sense

my dear mate.

She is often caught and pulled back  by this social web  so intricately knit that guides her look her every move her  every choice because she fears being an outcast It is so skillfully made That even in her rebel too she tortures herself to fit a checklist of liked/ desirable women  From waxing her body to wear that shorts/skirt to compromising her career for family it all looks fair and part of peaceful living.

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...
