We all know this pain... its born to us even before we are born to our mothers...
How long have i known you? 10 years? 12? I feel like i have known you all my life.. and you have known me all that time too.. from a life before, and before that.. in all these centuries.. only the numbers on the calendar have changed.. very little has changed in the truths of our lives..

True.... but it is changing, no?
ihm.. i kep thinking of what you said all night and morning today... yes, things are changing.. but in a lot of places.. the form changes, the truth remains the same.. while earlier women were denied the right to education, today the salary is retained by the in laws and the woman just ends up slogging more.
Earlier, there was physical abuse. Now,the educated men who dont beat their wives resort to verbal abuse, constant criticism to beat down her self confidence, or just plain silence and refusal to communicate.
Earlier, women were not allowed to wear clothes of their choice and had to cover their faces(they still do) even while doing manual labour where it could be a hazard to not see clearly (read: construction sites). Now, we can wear what we want and have to put up wth a lot more eve teasing, and somehow, it becomes our fault , bcs we are wearing "revealing clothes" ...
what do u think?
A lot is changing. Our mind set is changing, our values of life are changing and we are changing ourselves
