The one that got away

In every person's life there is a special someone, someone who have the power  to change everything, to make everything beautiful and worthwhile. We wait all our lives for this special someone and wonder how and when we will find them. But the thing you fail to realize is that this special someone might be right in front of you and you might have not even noticed. The weirdest part is that we find this out when we loose them. Why is that we don't appreciate what we have until we loose it. Its just because we are too afraid of everything. Afraid of our feelings, our emotions, the world, people and their thinking..... but do these things even matter......... I don't think so.

Love is a beautiful feeling but we make it so complicated without any reason. There is no such thing as perfect Love. So its no use waiting for it or expecting it in your relationship. Love is pure, innocent and divine, it might have a few ups and downs but its part of deal. If you think that one day you will find a perfect girl and fall in love and live happily ever after............ that's not happening........ Its better u realize it now and wake up from this dream. The truth of the matter is that you will find someone who will change your world, who will fill your life with so much love and passion that the rest of the things wont even matter. All that will matter is that she is with you and your happy. There is no specific place or time where you will find love. So stop looking, you will find love in places you never even bothered looking. Sometimes people get so involved in their fantasy world that they don't appreciate what they have, until they loose it and then think that they had what they wanted all along, if only they knew.

So don't waste time, stop looking around, love what u have today and fall in love with it over and over again. Life is too short for anything but it doesn't mean we have to rush. Just slow down and look around you there are so many beautiful things, beautiful people.... beautiful life.... live it today as there is no tomorrow. I've seen many lesbians falling in love and out of love in a very short time. We get into relationships too soon and get out of them even sooner. Just take it slow, take your time to know the person to absorb everything and then move ahead instead of rushing it and then breaking up. Make mistakes, but learn from them too. Because there is no perfect life.... you have to make the most of what you have. Stop waiting to fall in Love..... coz it will find you no matter where you are.... and change your world forever.

"Women" - Misunderstood

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, I am back again with yet another hot topic. Before I begin it is important to know that this blog is completely dedicated to all sorts of women in the society irrespective of their sexual preferences because as women we all are one.

The matter at hand is the misrepresentation of the women in the media and the society. Since media is a powerful tool which can be used to send various messages across through various means, isn't it important to use it wisely. Today media is everywhere, we can run but we cant hide from it. A minimum of 8 hours is spent by a person on various means of media like newspaper, TV, internet etc. Thus it becomes important to make sure that what is being served through these medias is right by all means and does not misrepresent anyone or anything. But this is not something which is being observed at the moment. Today media violates every rule in every manner possible. At some points it has found to be helpful, but when money gained power over knowledge things changed.

Today in the Indian Television and Cinema we can find various examples of how women are misrepresented and misused by the media. Almost every daily soap has various kinds of women which misrepresent the actual Indian women in the society. I agree that there are different kinds of women in the society, but it doesn't mean that they all have the same identity. We cannot judge a women by just one trait. But the media doesn't seem to understand this. The amazing part is that women don't even realize how they are being controlled by media. Their minds are manipulated and their thinking restrained. Only a few women seem to understand this and are willing to fight till they get justice.

Women have been misunderstood all these years. Since the time we all came into existence. Firstly we were treated as slaves and child bearing machines, then as a measure to entertain the egos of men, as a low lives whose existence completely revolves around men. The potential of women have been underestimated long enough. Its about time we rise and fight for equality, justice and the rights that we deserve. According to men and the media we are equal but I don't feel that way. The Indian society still treats men as the superior human being leaving us to where we started from. Today is the age of women, we out number men in quantity, we out smart them and we build the nation. But the sad part is we don't realize our importance which has actually helped the media to misguide us and make us believe that without a man we are nothing.

We have excelled in every field be it politics, science, business etc. we know what we are capable of doing but we don't have the right support, we don't have the freedom. Today no matter who you are or how successful you are people will make fun of you and underestimate you, if u are a women. And it is not just men who do that, some women also participate. I am not sure what the reason is but their lack of knowledge and lack of sense of responsibility is more than enough to discourage the other women.

I would like to share a video which is a trailer of a documentary called Miss Representation.

"The documentary Miss Representation, by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, premiered at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, and aired on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network.
The film explores how the media’s misrepresentations of women have led to the underrepresentation of women in positions of power and influence."

This documentary is an eye opener for everyone. It gives me hope that we are not alone in this fight for justice. I understand that we have many more barriers as we are lesbians but unless we don't fight for our rights being women, how can we expect to win the fight for gay rights.

Today is a start, now is a beginning to rise and fight against all odds. Its never to late to do what you truly believe in. So lets get started with the fight for Equality.
