Women Rock!!!

Blogging after a long time… Thought I will only write after my thesis submission but somehow made some time to write this.    Writing this post based on my recent experiences that I had in our new apartment at Marutham Gateway, West Tambarm. Yes, at last I made some friends here and me and my kid are having good time in the evenings like we did in our previous home at Velachery. Life in an apartment is always good.  You will feel secured first, you will get to know people and the best part is tht ur kid will have friends. Myself and nila will go down to the kids play area in our apartment in the evenings and most of the kids and their moms will join us. Suddenly many of them suggested a beautician who is also one of the residents of our apartment and she must be of my age group. After  having bought an own flat I am not into spending too much for beauty salon related tasks and since  it’s my decision to force Selva to buy an own flat so soon when we were not actually economically ready , I created my own constraints. Despite this I told my fellow residents that I will try once with the beautician they prescribed. One day I decided to have eye brow threading as it costs only thirty bucks. Yes,  she did very well and the best part is she does the job coming to our home. Beautician at our door steps! Nice idea. Later, I came to know more of her. She has so much of personal problems, she was not even given a penny by her husband, chucked out of home for one full night, she does not have kids and she was not working too. Can’t think of a woman who suffers at this young age and can’t imagine how a male that too in this generation treats a woman like this. I was shocked to know that he is a Project manager in a reputed software company. More than that I am speechless to hear that she is not willing to leave him even in this situation and having hopes that he will change and be affectionate to her as he did for the past six years. I thought this could happen only in television serials.  

One fine day she discussed her problems with the residents of our apartment and they all gave so many ideas. She realised that she had learnt informally about all the beauty salon related tasks from her mom since childhood and now she is into this business and doing well. Also, she takes Hindi tuitions in the evening. Hats off to my friends here who supported her during her tough days and gave this idea to her. She is feeling good now. I know women can empathise women better and  its a myth to say that women can’t think broad. I am so proud of my friends here in my apartment. I am not here to compare the quality of empathy that men and women have. That’s really out of the scope of this post. I have similar experience during my BE college days. That was a girls college (I know it so strange to hear that an engineering college is a women college but now it has turned into Co-ed). I remember we all classmates decided to pay fees of 12k for one of our classmate whose father got a stroke suddenly and he was the only bread winner then. I also remember that our classmate took tuitions in the evening to continue her studies. I like that spirit in her. Feel like writing more but I think this is getting long.  Now I feel a bit relieved after writing this post. That’s the prob with me. I always wanted to share such experiences the moment I come to know either orally or by writing so that I keep my head empty while going to bed. Finding time to write these days is getting tough as I have started writing my thesis and I badly wanted to get it done ASAP. Sharing orally has not been a problem at all with me as I have a pathetic  person at home who always keeps himself busy hearing something that I say. He normally speaks less but I feel he never has time to speak out even his single  thought these days as one more version of me in terms of talkative quality is also keeping him busy hearing always.  Women rock always!!! Thanks so much for reading.
