lost in WEB-bed life

It's disheartening to get lost from your own blog for so long, and being reminded by a friend that you use to write what happened, and you can't explain the reason, and can only find lame excuses!!!
The title above states it rightfully, pun intended, our life is entangled in threads of this WEB ( internet) , whoever invented it clearly knew, one day every one of us will be entrapped here, we won't be having means of coming out, because we have created our own world here( Instagram, twitter, WhatsApp, Facebook, snapchat ...) .
We have virtual friends on Facebook, when we get bored of their reposting and sharing, we check the instagram !!! A day to day hi-hello is best conversed on WhatsApp, to share your piece of mind, most intellectual people are there on twitter or quorA, snapchat to have some snapping fun, and if you bored with above all , "just swipe right"(tinder).
Small things in life, going on vacation to grandparents house, village tour, or running barefooted on grounds, climbing on trees and eating fruits , have just become things we miss and read in inspiring posts!!!
Let's try to pull the threads , let's try to come out of it a little, because the way we have twisted ourself  in this WEB, we are being pulled more and more in the social media Swamp !!!

Appreciating what we might have missed

Reading the letter written by Amitabh Bachchan, and the controversy followed by it.I tried to reread the letter several times, and really miss, what my other friends, have been trying to portray by asking questions back from him.

I didn't find any issue in it, even though when he said , his grand-daughter's hold a very special legacy of his maternal grand father. Isn't it how our society is built, being a man, he relished his forefathers legacy more, but isn't it beautiful, he want his daughters, to carry forward it, not just his 'Sons', why we miss that ? If he really had anything of putting down feminism, he wont have written the letter to his daughters only, isn't it .

Bringing feminism in every topic, has become a trend now. I believe we have proved it many a times now, that girls are no less than boys, but don't stretch to a point that it looks like, boys are any less than girls!!! Being a girl, for me feminism is important, but my feminism is sub conscious effect of my husband's masculinity. We both are equals, but we are like those two hands of a body, who being equal, cannot dominate each other, we are required by each other in every phase of life, cut the one, and other becomes handicapped, true Right ?

I might be sounding strange, but somehow, I feel gender inequality is not sole result of what a man thinks, this might be harsh truth of life, it is more prevalent, due to women. You might see, son's are not asked by mothers to help them in daily chores, as much a daughter is required to; a son's marriage might not be something they are in hurry for, as much for a daughter who has just turned 20; I have seen mother's asking for a son, who might take care of her in old age, Really ? Than why there is sudden splurge in Old Age Home's when we have seen in past decades, boy:girl ratio have gone up.

I truly feel, a change in society is required, when it can be bought by a woman, in a woman, for a woman. A mother might have to think its 'OK', if her girl has more interest in playing the sport, and her son likes to cook; she is the primary care taker of her child in their early age, and if she can cultivate in him/her that you both are equal, that initial foundation will help us to move forward, and bring a change in society.

Lets stop pointing out what might be having no relevance in real world, but appreciate what is more important!
