Hello people! Feels good to be back (never mind that its been barely 24 hours!). Ok....so I'll have to warn that this is the rant that many of us would like to scream out but really can't for the fear of being labelled evil a little rebellious. So being the philanthropist I am, I decided to help out. I am sure there are many more but being a woman, erm..let's just say I leaned a bit more to 'our' issues. Enjoy!
Who says that you can only measure the strength of a woman’s prowess in the kitchen by her ability to carry a red hot pot by the handle and not feel pain? I shudder to imagine what the poor person who took out time to invent mittens and napkins feels about this theory. While we’re at it why don’t we include pot handles with spikes and walking around on hot coals while cooking?
Who says that a woman who is successful in a chosen career cannot be successful in the home front? Success in the minds and hearts of people is relative thus the argument shall be left open.
Who says that a woman is only homely when she does her chores with a smile? I am yet to understand how sweeping, dusting, mopping and cleaning can be used in the same sentence with smiling. Unless you are listening to some really good music to take your mind off the monotony of the chores, the only person I can think of who did chores with so much joy was Walt Disney’s Cinderella...and she was a cartoon character whose close friends and confidants were some hyperactive singing rats; enough said.
Who says your desire to write a screenplay for television even though you have a PhD in Bioinformatics will in some way diminish your brain’s capacity to process scientific information from then on? This is the product of man’s insatiable desire to categorise any and everything. In this age and time, one box just doesn’t fit anymore so I guess we need to stop asking questions like... He has a PhD in Bioinformatics, why is he wasting time writing screenplays? ...Because he can!
Who says that every minute of your life has to be full of some form of activity? Having to respond to the question “What are you doing now?” with “Oh, just thinking” without being dubbed slightly mad takes some courage. The greatest people in the world made out time to stop and think...then they acted accordingly. It’s not about being busy; it’s about what you are busy doing.
Who says I have to feel sorry for a customer service officer in a bank who refuses to work with a smile? Seriously, it’s amazing how one is expected to sympathise with someone who is paid to make the fact that you rush into the bank drenched in rain from trying to make a dash for the sci-fi capsule doors while trying to keep your boss convinced that you are still by your computer working hard fade into the background. Seriously people... everyone has problems. Deal with it. If it gets really bad then just remember that you are one of the few who are paid to have issues...Lucky you.
Who says that sharing your opinion whether or not it is asked for makes you intelligent? Having an opinion is great but letting out every single thought on every single issue to us mere mortals who have to nod and look interested makes you opinionated, not intelligent. There’s a distinct difference.
Phew!!! Woo saaa!! (Rubbing temple and chanting a mantra).
