While I can't comment on why you chose the path you did, I do know that you constitute at this point the brain-drain. Maybe you could compensate?<br /><br />Caught up in the conundrum of college and your personal battles, did you ever think about duties that extend beyond your household and caste? Sure, I understand that duty to one's pursuit of happiness is paramount, but I just feel like we all choose to turn our backs to the problem, and pass the buck on.<br /><br />We're all guilty, and I have now taken to writing openly and unabashedly on issues that I feel should be addressed, maybe you could do the same?<br /><br />I don't mean to attack you in any way. I'm just appealing to the blogosphere at large for support. Just voice your opinions and make sure they are heard. This leads to constructive debate and informed opinions on stuff that matters!<br /><br />Peace.wali sheikhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13887851750473417199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1427118626931758739.post-83397717252834083412011-05-10T16:52:21.857-07:002011-05-10T16:52:21.857-07:00Gravitating towards the norm is a timeless human t...Gravitating towards the norm is a timeless human trait. And only a few break out of the pattern. When they do, they create their own realm of "norms". And that is probably where the word "cycle" should come in, although I am not quite sure if "viscous" should precede it.<br /><br />Anyway, I am not attempting to be a "female's rights activist" either. Just putting out the word that it really is a war out there.<br /><br />Don't know if this makes sense, but I tried.Kanwalfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04891061123244305574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1427118626931758739.post-88117649878298966532011-05-10T16:44:10.017-07:002011-05-10T16:44:10.017-07:00Perhaps you are one of the outliers that I account...Perhaps you are one of the outliers that I accounted for. My central theme was not the advocacy of female rights (though this creeps into all of my writing some how) but to suggest that too many women, and men for that matter are being led by forces of norm that they are not equipped to question.wali sheikhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13887851750473417199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1427118626931758739.post-75332022628514706842011-05-10T16:30:20.658-07:002011-05-10T16:30:20.658-07:00Although, what you have written, is true for the m...Although, what you have written, is true for the most part - a lot of the times it is not the case. <br /><br />And I speak for the women who independently choose the path of "virtue" and choose to not divulge in what they find unbecoming.<br />And for the women who marry early, not for the fear of subsequent spinsterhood but because they simply fell in love.<br />And for those who are made to break their morals, not so they can fight for their rights, but so that they can satisfy the urges of an unpleasant, (in)significant other.Kanwalfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04891061123244305574noreply@blogger.com
