International Women's Day

As a women, what am I feeling on this day greeted as the "International Women's Day"? Is it a different feeling from any other day? Is it truly a reminder to me and those around me that I am a women? Is the reminder required? I think I am feeling slightly different today. There is this sudden spurt in the male attention all around me. All the men in my life want to make me feel more important- my brother sent me this beautiful sms in the morning, my husband was kind enough to make breakfast and my Dad too remembered that it is women's day today. Yes, I am feeling more women today.

I think the admiration is genuine. Atleast the cosmopolitan Indian man has reached a stage of advancement where he is publically acknowledging women and giving her the due credit. Well thanks to all the men in my life. I am happy being a women and very proud of my womanhood.
