Jyothi Bhagawat Thoughts of a successful woman

I don't understand why we women have to shout from the rooftops I am a woman, give way' Does a man say any such thing ' I am a man,take notice 'We women have come to this stage because of lack of courage and positive thinking.

From time immemorial, woman took on her role of the house making, childbearing and childbrearing, keeping husband happy. He went out,brought food,provided security and fought enemies This went on millenia after millenia Now in 20th and 21st century AD.,woman has woken up from deep slumber, taken interest in her surrounding. She has realized that she is doing 10 times the work of man,still considered weak Now she wants equal share in property, salary, and promotion. She is ambitious, gained entry into armed forces,space science, digital and artificial intelligence work,all forms of art, music, cinema. You name it,she is there. A step ahead of man.

In my case,the partiality between my brother and myself was evident from young age Though l was more intelligent than brother, mama was saying why God has given me brains than son ,he is the one looking after them This made me feel guilty Later on he did not do well,I took care of my mother.I became a doctor.did well in my profession, came up in life and society. I married a doctor,two lovely daughters, who are doctors themselves Now everyone says how very lucky I am to have such beautiful caring daughters. I smile inwardly. Same people had commented on birth of my second daughter,Oh sorry, second one is also a girl I don't have to prove anything to anybody. I am a self made woman.Now that I have started writing poems,and joined the group of poets, my life has become brighter still Now I can definitely shout from the rooftop I AM A WOMAN.
