Why Gender bias ?

On one of those holiday mornings,
I went to the terrace, and stretched my whole self;
And tried touching the beautiful sky.
I thought, I nearly touched the sky!
Then I relaxed.
I breathed in the air with morning fragrance;
And felt my whole being-
Of being a girl, being as I am.
Became fresh and awakened.
My heart and lips murmured-
‘Lord you are Great and You made me great as a Girl.’

The feeling of gratitude, extended within made me relish myself as a girl!

With beauty and strength,
With intuition and intelligence,
With sympathy and care,
With sensitivity and love,
With peace and power!

This realization of million more girls in this world made me feel wonderful!

But when I came down to the drawing room and open the newspaper, a magazine and another magazine…it write ups on Sania Mirza, Kiran Bede and few other successful women…this was not all what I read…there was more about dowry problem, sexual harassment at work and female child infanticide…we are in 2006 now…heading towards the 6oth year of our independence…yet, we don’t have a solution!!!

Why this gender bias ?

…this question still remains unanswered.

God created men and women, as either cannot exist with out the other;
To complement each other and not to compete with each other;
To support each other and not to suppress each other;
To love and not to dominate over.
