RE:Well..
by Harit Shah on Mar 03, 2008 04:39 PM

A beautifully written response to Ms. Preeti. I suggest she ought to think long and hard before writing such stuff that can be controversial. Let me assure you Preeti, that women don't need a "Women's Day" to be recognised for all they do. I certainly don't give a damn about these things, which in my view are nothing but mere marketing gimmicks for businesses to make some money off gullible people like us. I don't need a "Women's Day" to appreciate what my wife has done for me, or what my mother or my aunt has done for me. And you say that "some men have a habit of taking women for granted" - well, I can assure you, it works the other way around as well, madam! Some women also take men for granted. So the only thing I would say is that we do not need special "days" to recognise people like this, we can do it through small gestures every day, like buying flowers or a gift or present for your wife or mother, or for that matter just giving her a warm hug ("Jadoo ki jhappi") and saying "Thank You"! Correct, am I not, Ms. Preeti? And, tongue firmly in cheek, I might add here that "Women's Day" is much more "marketable" than a "Men's Day", wouldn't you agree:)
