AN ODE TO THE MEN IN MY LIFE…..


The  MEN  needed   a  strong  ally  to  give  meaning  to  their  existence. Hence  god  created  WOMEN!!. 
I  am  a  woman.  My  essence  lies  in  my  ability  to  selflessly  care,  love  and  sacrifice  for  the  other.  My  primary  job  is  to  provide  emotional  support  to  another   person. I  am  a  master  at  multiple  role-plays,  which  is  evident  when  I  play  an  all  enveloping  character  of  a  mother,  daughter,  wife,  sister,  friend,  nurturer,  guide  and  partner.  I  am  emotional  and  vulnerable.  I  am  sometimes  erratic   and  sometimes  serene.  I  display  a  wonderful  range  of  emotions  from  being  patient  to  being  extremely  courageous  in  times  of  crisis.  I  can  be   meek  and  submissive  and  purr  like  a   tamed  cat.  I  can  also  turn  into  a  growling  and  aggressive  wild  cat  when  my  buttons  have  been  pushed  too  far.  Tell  me  something  is  forbidden  and  it  becomes  appealing,  almost  instantly.

A  woman  needs  a  man  like  a  fish  needs  a  bicycle…….
How  many  of  us  actually  fool  ourselves   with  such  delusional  statements!!...”Behind  every successful  man,  there  is  a  woman”….that  has  been  done  to  death.  How  many  times  have  you  actually  heard…”Behind  every  successful  women,  there  is  a  man”…rarely…almost  never.  I  find  this  a  little  difficult  to  digest,  A  man  needs  a  woman  to excel  and  a  woman  doesn’t???...How  in  gods  name  is  that  possible??...is  it  because   we  like  to  pretend  that  we  can  do  it  all by  ourselves??

I  have  been  raised  in  a  house  full  of  boys.  I  currently  live  in  a  house  full  of  boys. Hence  I  have  no  qualms  in  stating  that  I  am  what  I  am  today,  coz  of  the  men  folk  in  my  life.  The  first  being  my  father,  my  papa…who  toiled  day  and  night  to  give   me  and  my  brothers   a  wonderful  life.  I  grew  up  to  be  headstrong  and  stubborn,  like  him.  My  childhood  memories  never  fail  to  make  me  smile. My  brothers  and  my  cousins (  all  boys,  mind   you…)  ensured  that  I  had  the  most  wonderful  childhood.  I  grew  up  to  be  bold  and  fearless  in  their  company. My  husband,   I  have  spent  nearly  half  my  lifetime  with  him.  I  will  always  be  grateful  to  him,  for  not  clipping  my  wings  and  instead  being  the  wind  beneath  it  and  helping  me  soar  higher   and  scale  new  heights. I  matured  into  a  confident   lady  in  his  circle  of  love.  My  sons,  who  gave  me  the  honour  of  being  a  mother  and  helping  me  discover  a  new  ‘me’. They   taught  me  patience  and  selflessness. My  friends  who  imbibed  their  faith  in  me  and  never  judged  me  and  accepted me  as  I  am.
I   am  what  I  am  coz  of  the  wonderful  MEN  in  my  life. They  complete  me .
So,  if  you  like  this  woman,  plzz  put  your  hands  together  for  the  various  MEN  behind  her…:))

with  my  bros...:))
Papa's  gal!!


 A  TOAST  TO  US….
I  would  like  to  make  a  toast  to  lying,  stealing,  cheating  and  drinking.  If  you  are  going  to  lie,  lie  for  a  friend.  If  you  are  going  to  steal,  steal  a  heart.  If  you  are  going  to  cheat,  cheat  death.  And  if  you  are  going  to  drink,  drink  with   me…:))
( errrr….lemme  warn  you,  I’m  a  boring  teetotaler)

My  two  and  a  half  men




P.S….Nature  has  given  women  so  much  power,  that  the  law  just  cannot  afford  to  give  her  more…:D

  1. Stupendo fantabulous fantastic...!!!very well done kappu..For i think of all the roles played by us be it a daughter,sister,wife,mother although it is tougher than the roles men play but we cannot live these roles wid heart & soul. If we dont hav the support of the men that we're wid us right frm the father who holds our lil finger & making us walk to husband to holds our hand In our moment of vulnerability.
    Women for me are more like the ocean deep,mysterious,volatile,quite & serene at times but wid a wrath compared to none..
    You have written and expressed it very very very well :)
