Heya!
I wanted to write on domestic violence in Indian homes. Something that I am strictly against and despise from the bottom of my heart, this is sad and even as we say India has progressed a lot today, domestic violence is something that still happens in many homes! I realize this topic is serious, and needs some research.. I will shortly write something on the same but for the time being…
Here is, something …..err…something you can read (well if you want to X-P) :D

*My desi gal*

The thinnest book in d world should be- 'What men know about women!' goes a famous joke! I don’t really know what men actually know about women, or if women are really from Venus and men from Mars, but there is one thing I know for sure about most women, what drives them is love, either love for someone, or the love they receive by someone! And amongst all the women of the world, a group which stands out all different and very beautiful is that of the Indian women or my desi gals!
Indian women are unmatched, in their capacity to work hard, to smile and tolerate, accept things, act as family binders, being the support systems of their families, being excellent in fulfilling their responsibilities, understanding situations, suppressing own feelings for others happiness, acting as never identified heros and the list just goes on…..

Given a crowd of people, you can identify a general Indian individual from it, for we Indians are quite, different people all together.
Our Indianess is blended in our blood, and our behavior reflects it too well. May be this is because, civilizations have existed here, since ages….and the culture developed on the Indian land too deep, and highly meaningful, it has experiences of ages compounded in the teachings, and value system lies embedded in the way we live life! Indian women are no exception! WE all know, India was once a land with great discriminations on the basis of caste and creed, on the basis of gender too, (sadly such discrimination, exist in many parts of India, today also) we had rules of not educating women, purdha, sati, and many more such sad and disappointing customs….the revolution that came during the independence struggle of our brought in a new hope, and from there to now, we have progressed to have quite some positive changes! But there is a lot more to capture still and we are moving towards change for sure!

Life of women in villages is still to change a lot, but if you speak about the city gals….we still are a fabulous blend of modernity and culture. There are many changes still required, but what today we have is definitely better than what we had 100 years back!
Indian women, however educated and established they get have a beautiful charm as they maintain and respect the limits, there is softness with strength. Determination and dedication, Respect is given and dignity maintained well! Forgiveness and sacrifice, are qualities that not many people understand how important, and even few posses them, I have seen endless examples of both these virtues in Indian women! True greatness is when you are the true leader, harmony creator, problem solver and still you act as you are so nothing. You take the anger of your family members, share your seemingly unnecessary tears with friends, and move on, you smile at the joys of loved ones, give more than your capacity, you complain, expect, get dejected for not getting what you did expect, feel bad, and then go and give people more than they deserve again ,forgive and forget for the sake of each other that is my desi gal!

Ghar ki lakshmi (the reason for your wealth, success and prosperity), she is Saraswati(the goddess of knowledge), she is kali (the destroyer of evil), she is durga (the protector, a mother, the caretaker), she is Annapurna (the one who feeds you).
Being related to an Indian women is something so fortunate, and being one yourself is even more better and I am so proud of being one! =)
Dekh lakh lakh pardesi gal, ain't nobdy like my desi gal! :)
