Well you must be wondering that I'm promoting Hero Honda Pleasure thru my blog. Hahaha well I'm not. But yes their caption actually made me think "Are guys really having that much fun". Then i came to a conclusion may be they are more than the fairer sex. Take for instance a husband and wife. Both are income earners for the family. But the wife only gets to make the breakfast and the dinner (assuming that they make alternate arrangements for lunch). Its no more that men are the only bread winner of the family. Both are bread winners but the women is still home maker. She has to cook,buy provisions ( even these two,men do at times) but why is it that she has to "give birth to babies". ok thats how nature works fine.. but cant there be equality in that too. GOD cant you see that we women are also putting in so much effort in everything like male community.
Take movies for that matter how many movies revolves around women. Most of the time its the hero who takes the revenge,gets to work hard and make money,woos the heroine and fights with her father. While shooting for song in snow clad zones in switz and other parts of europe the hero gets to wear warm clothes but the heroine has to wear skimpy clothes showing major part of her skin.
Take the case of marriage. Why is it that only the woman have to leave her house and go and live with her husband and his family. Ever seen husbands adding their wives names behind theirs. Take the case of arranged marriages the groom is always elder to the bride. Why cant it be he other way around.
Have you ever come across news saying lady rapes and kills man.
Are there any female formula one players.
I can go on with the list but all this will never change. Though there are women entrepreneurs, CEOs,Musicians,Sports person, it the women who has to leave her house after marriage,be home maker,makes breakfast,deliver babies. Me writing the blog is not going to change this scenario right??? You might just read it and say "hmm just another frustrated woman"or some might say "women can never be satisfied".....

So u r an IIM Grad,that dont impress me much......
Every year the amount of candidates registering for CAT is increasing by leaps and bounds. One out of a lakh gets into the "supposedly best premier B school" of India. If you've got a call letter from A (ahmedabad,which is the best of 6) then it is as good as winning the world cup or winning the oscars, well getting into it is secondary. Why is it such a big deal to get an MBA oops sorry PGDBA from IIM. Every man or women passing out of the institute is assured of placement which offers aatractive pay packages. ok agreed. Every year consultancies,investment banks,FMCGs, IT biggies take IIMs for the post of VPs,AVPs etc etc..
Place them in their offices abroad,give them a car,an apartment fully furnished. Good for them. So ultimately its the MONEY that attracts them to these institutes. For which they take year off breaking their heads on the math,logical and verbal reasoning to crack the CAT. Then spend sleepless nights practising for GD and PI. Finally get there. Again sleepless nights on assignments,tests,presentations,seminars. Then the campus placement season starts again sleepless nights preparing for the interview with HR.
Alright so finally they get into a huge organisation in a high position. Agreed that they make big money but do they really have the time to enjoy what they make. The story is repeated all over again sleepless nights,deadlines,stress,pressure.
When you ask them they say when they pay you a fat sum of money they expect you to put in that much. Ok so its all about money. When you can earn the same without doing an MBA from IIM then its fair enough right. I mean if a Harvard drop out can start a huge organisation and employ a 100 IIM then he definitely has an extra something which may be IIM doesn teach or maybe the harvard did not realise. Ratan Tata did not go to IIM but his huge conglomerate has gone to places. Anil and Mukesh Ambani must have gone to Whorton but their father Mr.Dhirubhai Ambani who started RIL did not go to any B school.
I wish to sign off by saying that when you have the STUFF, the drive to take risk, the burning desire, the killer instinct then you definitely need not have an MBA from IIM and still make BIG MONEY.

Its all about money honey!!!!!
Abba sang in their all time famous song " money money money very funny in a rich man's world".... Well how many of us have actually thought and related ourselves and our lives to this song. Every morning as we all wake up to start our hectic day,running behind a crowded bus,sometimes missing it,then paying through our nose to auto rickshawalas. you reach the office a wee bit late to learn that your boss who always comes late to office has reached on time that day and the moment you step in he looks at the watch like thats the first time he notices that there is something in his wrist that shows the time. Then he gives you the GYAAN as to how such habits will give a black mark in your career...Blah..blah...ok now my point is why are we going through all this. The answer is you need to survive in this world for which you need something called MONEY. It is'nt survival of the fittest anymore its the survival of the richest.
The other day i was going through these matrimonial websites where just for kicks i opened a few grooms profile to know what they are looking for. To my surprise (well actually not really) most of it reads "wanted fair,slim,beautiful girl preferably working. MBA, CA, S/W professionals preferred (heard IT pays big bucks...hmmm now the ad makes sense). so weddings are not just decided on compatibility of groom and brides but the money factor matters too.
Most of the time the papers carry news about the stock market scams. I ve heard that if you invest wisely in stocks you make loads of money but man it doesn't say invest honestly. So there are these investors who swindle money using stock markets as a means. The crime rates have been increasing everyday, murder,underworld activities,drug trafficking,match fixing,prostitution... all of them centered around one ultimate motive "make money..big money"
If only money grows on trees we don't have to take the crowded bus,listen to the bull your boss gives, get an MBA to be a qualified bride,be a victim to the stock market scams. Welcome to the real world where money rules. Man made money and machines and ultimately became slaves to it.
Why do we have to go through all this. For the sake of money is it? and when we die we leave everything behind. You know what i think when a man dies the money he has earned should also be buried along with him so that he may be respected up there at the hell as well.
