Men and Women

Every time I hear someone saying "girl is God's best creation", "women rule the world"....I go bonkers.
What the hell!!

I find it quite irresistible to refrain myself from a debate on 'Supremacy of Gender'.
I start the debate, convincing the audience that both genders are supreme in their own way, and proceed to eventually conclude that both are equal as a whole. The beaters drive me crazy with their unsupported and junk statements, that I finally end-up arguing that male are talented than the fair-sex...

Years before, I received an email sent to entire batch by a girl, who is in fact intelligent and a good friend of mine. It portrayed that all boys are dumb not to really care for girls who are genius and great. Though I respect talent, care for girls I know and never derogated any girl, I somehow felt offended and shot the following reply:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Agreed :-)
GENIUS !

"All that glitters is not Gold"
I think man is like Sun, though he is hot, he is hot for a reason.... to keep the family warm and to enlighten the surrounding people...
He stays on his feet and is the same always, no matter whatever happens.....
Even after a thousand decades, he is in the same place and giving out the heat and light with the same intensity....

I feel women are like Earth, who take the warmth of Sun, revolve around him, but still are close to him only some times and move very distant some other time....
They are complex with land and water..... not only with mountains and valleys on the land, but also having deep oceans and shallow waters.....
They think that they give birth to all the life, but ignore the fact that there is no life without the heat and light....
They rotate around themselves and when they are not facing the Sun, they complain that the Sun is stealing faces from them and not caring....
They look at the moon who rotates round them and say that the moonlight is cooling and lovely unlike the sunlight which burns and sweats.....

There is a saying "People tremble when they are not confident of what they say......
If men do want to understand, easy to say, hard to understand....
".
I guess that explains....

There is a saying "opportunity never comes, you've to create it".
I guess the person who quoted it forgot to mention that women are an exemption....
If they ever seem indignant to anything/anyone it means that they are awaiting some response or working on creating an opportunity..... Men don't escape from anything.....
Man thinks and attributes a lovely role to any/every female in his life as mother/sister/wife/daughter/friend; understands and supports them while trying to strengthen their minds and resolve their conflict...... Woman always thinks that a man, no matter who ever it is : father/brother/husband/son, is always dominating......
anything/everything he does is wrong....
anytime/all time he doesn't care for her...

I completely agree with the person who said "if you are missing a girl, you are missing something.... otherwise, you are missing everything else..."
If I ever go to Heaven, I'll plead God to give that wisdom to all men...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, when I read my reply to her email, I feel that I was rather provoked with her's.
While men instantly burp something, when played with their ego, they don't hold any hard feelings. It is only for the moment and later everything is back to normal.
It doesn't take too long for a man to apologize, if he finds that he was wrong or even if both were equally wrong. Women are far more Egoistic compared to men.

So far in my life, I've not seen more than a few women who've apologized with even faintest feeling of guilt or realization, for something they've screwed-up with their thoughtless actions.
There are exceptions for anything and everything, though.
I'm not generalizing. I'm not taking example of a single person or my own experiences.

I'm speaking about science itself, which says that female brain has far slower response than a male. A female brain can work on multiple things at-a-time, though justice is not done to any of them. Where as, a male brain works with one thing at-a-time, with full concentration.

If ever a man's brain is not working straight, it is because his heart is overpowering it.
If ever a woman's brain is working straight, it is because there is a man's brain it is trying to compete with.

No offense meant, dear ladies.... Facts are facts...!!!

The Eagle and The Sparrow

Nature teaches many things everyday and it helps to realize your forgotten-wisdom. Being so near to the nature and becoming a part of it really evokes your senses to life.

There is a lake in Taipa, which I like very much. It is encircled by casinos, House-Museum, a basket-ball court, a park and some wild-bushes. The park spread between the Museum and the lake is lined with wooden-benches each accompanied with a tree and pathways for jogging.

One evening, there were many people in the park. Some couples were photographing each other and some other was playing with their children. At a distance, there was an elderly couple, who were starting in the empty-air hand-in-hand, probably visualizing their youthful memories. A kid was trying to chase was plucking flowers from the garden and then a dry-leaf being sweet away by the cool breeze. When he fell down, his mother came running and carried back to her husband.

Bearing no flower, lotus leaves spread across the lake, with frogs jumping on them occasionally. A jungle duck was floating with the waves. It ducked-in when the ripple was low and swallowed a little fish in a single gulp.

It is refreshing & rejuvenating to listen to water-ripples, rolling dry-leaves, kukus and laughing babies at a time. I sat on a bench on lake-front and was relishing the 5-Star chocolate, while watching bird-life nesting on the bushes alongside. Majority were white-cranes with a few numbers of pigeon and sparrow.

From no-where, there came a brown-eagle which rounded the lake twice, in less than five minutes. A sparrow (or some small bird of that kind) started following this eagle. While the eagle was swiftly gliding in the air with its wide wings, the sparrow was trying hard to catch-up by fluttering its tiny arms. When the eagle took a great lead in two big strokes, the sparrow was left far away. The sparrow returned to the nest. There were similar birds in the neighboring nests and all but one paid no attention. Probably, they are its parents.

The daylight started trailing-off with the disappearing Sun, but my mind and heart were just lit for working better.

Once in college-days, I was very inspired with the acts of a movie-actor and trying to mimic him, I tried to jump across a pavement-divider in a brisk leap. I’ve almost jumped, but my energy and velocity wasn’t enough for jumping over. My foot got hooked to the divider and I fell down. I laughed, along with my friend, at my childish miscalculation of attempting a jump with no run-up at all.

After starting to earn, one day when all my roomies left me alone for their office-event, I spent fifteen hundreds on an expensive meal. I ate all the varieties I love, ranging from mushroom to panneer and from chicken to prawn. I’ve not only troubled my tummy, but also emptied my wallet. I learnt that inflow should be proportionate to the outflow and activity. And, by the next month I learnt that my expenses should also be proportionate to my income.

Wisdom comes with experience. Though we get to know from multiple sources, few things are learnt only when one faces them in reality. Some lessons are learnt at a cost, may that be time, money or even a relation. Unless we try we'll not be able to know our capabilities.

For the good or bad, the little sparrow could learn the truth by its voyage. It was very courageous and daring to fly on the waters, not even knowing how far it can fly & for how long. Yet it had to pursue its will, or will never in its life be peaceful. Though satisfaction is a feeling felt only by saints and the eternal, and read only in literature, the little bird will at least be answerable to its own heart.

I'm very grateful to my parents who permitted me for pursuit of my instincts for nature, travel and friends, than restricting me to monotony. They let me choose my options in life, under their guidance and support. I know people who obeyed to their parent's decision decades before, and after living with their obeisance for half of their life, now complain on their parents who have passed away. Had they had tried listening to their youthful-heart than obeying the wisdom of parents, they won't have to repent now and hurt the hearts of the loving elders.

The sparrow found out that its' destiny is to nest on the bank, and feed its family.
I'm yet to find mine.
