catching moonbeams

Can any artist or scientist capture essence of life?Even the best artist or painter cannot capture the invisible energy of light shimmering through green leaves transforming it into a lively translucent yellow or the wonderful spectacle created when the morning sun dazzles into hundreds of silver stars that twinkle on the gentle waves of the sea when a shaft of sunlight cascades on it?
Can a scientist or an alchemist ever hope to create a perfume as fragrant ,gentle and that which fills up ones senses and waft through ones being soothingly such as the scent of myraid of flowers that bloom cheerfully every where in ditches ,in gardens or on the side of the road in early summer mornings ? No never !

The fastest traveller.

Sound travels fast. Light travels faster. Thoughts it seems to me is the fastest traveler of all ! It will take one millions of years traveling at speed of light to reach our neighbouring galaxy but traveling at speed of thoughts one can be there in a second and be back the next second powered by ones imagination!

Womens day contd........

T o my mind a woman is at least a little free if she is financially independant,is in full control of her
finances and take decisions on all matters pertaining to her how so ever small or big it may be.However there is a hitch for all this depends on her father's,brothers ,husband /,s ons grandsons, employees,bosses,and even the common man on the street having t o relinquish age weapons of control viz emotional,financial,social, and psychological over women.Will they ever?That is the question.
Most modern women become weary after waging these tough wars and give up. Those women who don't give up, a miniscule number have to spend rest of their life battling to keep their well fought freedom intact.The former has to gather on a particular day meekly and sadly to voice their demands amongst themselves knowing fully well that their men folk would flick them off casually like they would the creamy layer off their coffee,the latter has no need for womens day as she has the entire year at her disposal!A lot of battles await her but she has freed herself from the golden cage and is flying high and surging ahead.

Womens day .

Is there a Mens day? No! because it is a mans world! They don't have to observe or celeb rate a particular day in a year as they are celebrating their right to exist freely and happily throughout the year.
We poor second class citizens [women] have been very graciously given a day to remember that we too exist , leave alone the fact that we too have an appetite for good life and yearn to move around the world freely or at least walk without fear on our roads late at nights.Can any of us the educated,professional modern woman who can match most men in various fields like medicine,law,I.T etc dare to go to a night show on our own and return home alone?Even going out alone in midday in certain cities is a challenge to many a ornamented or well made up and dressed woman where men[i am not genaralising] are ready to pounce on us for our gold chains,bangles etc or ogle at us in such a way so as make us feel cheap ,self conscious and as tho' we are some peculiar creatures!
If this is the picture outside our house ,inside man is the one and only master of the house.He invariably always takes charge of the t.v remote thus establishing his dominance over the house hold and keeps his finances in total secrecy but openly takes control of his hardworking wife's finances who has been brain washed into thinking that even if she earns money by her own efforts[may even be a banker] her dear husband knows all especially finances and every decision best left to that lords discretion [whims and fancies]
