MARCH 8TH WOMEN'S DAY

Yatra nari pujyate ramante tatra devata
Wherever women are honored, there the gods delight.
- The Code of Manu

women have strengths that amaze men.

They bear hardships and they

carry burdens, but they hold happiness, love and joy.

They smile when they want to scream.

They sing when they want to cry.

They cry when they are happy and laugh

when they are nervous.

They fight for what they believe in.

They stand up to injustice.

They don't take "no" for an answer when they

believe there is a better solution.

They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.

They love unconditionally. They cry when their

children excel and cheer when their friends get awards.

They are happy when they hear about a birth or a wedding.

Their hearts break when a friend dies.

They grieve at the loss of a family member,

yet they are strong when they think there

is no strength left.

They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart.

Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.

They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail

you to show how much they

care about you. The heart of a woman is

what makes the world keep turning.

They bring joy, hope and love.

They have compassion and ideas.

They give moral support to their family and friends.

Women have vital things to say and everything to give.

HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN women,

IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

Message on women's day

I often listen to this “The world is a better place because of the presence of a woman”. I completely agree and this one line can speak a million feelings.

On the eve of the International women’s day,
I’ve a small message for all of you.

Men,

Recognize the efforts of the lady of your life.
Understand her way of expressing her love towards you.
Best love is ensured when you can understand
the mood swings of her.
And always do remember,
Whatever you do, you can not give back the same
what a girl/woman gives to you.

Women,

People of all kinds exist;
just that the way everyone is different.
Never compare. Never humiliate unnecessarily.
Just understand, love and believe.
Respect what the world has given to you.
Be respected for what you only can give to the world.

I believe these lines so much.
I often tell myself the same being an Indian women
and proud to be so.

Time passes.Life happens.Distance separates.
Children grow up.Jobs come and go.Love waxes and wanes.
Men don't do what they're supposed to do.Hearts break.
Parents die.Colleagues forget favors.Careers end.

BUT - Sisters are there, no matter how much time and how many miles are between you. A friend is never farther away than needing her. The willingness to listen, the patience to understand, the strength to support,the heart to care &
just to be there.that is the beauty of a lady!

When you have to walk that lonesome valley and you have to walk it by yourself, the women in your life will be on the valley's rim, cheering you on, praying for you, pulling for you, intervening on your behalf, and waiting with open arms at the valley's end.

Sometimes, they will even break the rules and walk beside you, or come in and carry you out.

Girlfriends, daughters, granddaughters, daughters-in-law, sisters,sisters-in-law, mothers, grandmothers, aunties, nieces, cousins and extended family all bless our life.

When we began this adventure called womanhood, we had no idea of the incredible joys or sorrows that lay ahead, nor did we know how much we would need each other.

Every day, we need each other still.
Pass this on to all the women who help make your life meaningful.

I just did.

Last bot not least, Let me wish all the women's in the world
a very happy women's day with the oft quoted words of the
great Vivekananda swamiji:-

I should very much like our women to have your intellectuality, but not if it must be at the cost of purity. I admire you for all that you know, but I dislike the way that you cover what is bad with roses and call it good. Intellectuality is not the highest good. Morality and spirituality are the things for which we strive. Our women are not so learned, but they are more pure. [swami Vivekananda Talking to an American audience]

We should not think that we are men and women, but only that we are human beings, born to cherish and to help one another.

HAPPY WOMEN'S DAY TO YOUR MOTHER,SISTERS, WIFE......

I AM PROUD TO BE AN INDIAN WOMEN.
