Its been long since I wrote for the blog.There has been enough writing in the English course I am pursuing and therefore the brain saps at the thought of still extra writing.But I can resist no more...
.I just watched a documentary on Women who had to take up male-oriented jobs during world war 2 to survive and help the men engage wholemindedly in the war.They spoke about what it was to be a woman then,to work,love,relish every moment,lose their men and so on.To the end of the short film there was this one Grand old lady who said ' todays young take so much for granted and are greedy for more.They dont understand what it was to live then and to be content.They get it easy'.
I find this truth etched in every moment of my life.I deem my share of struggles to be intense and moan over every damned inconvenience,when everything from paste in the morning to bedsheets for the bed are provided for.Working is not mandatory,playing is.cooking is not a must,eating is.stitching is an art and wearing a colorful wardrobe dignity.No nonsense is tolerated and very possession is guarded as if last.Nobody condones a trivial error by another towards them as its a matter of "hauteur".how dare he say that to me? how dare she do that to me? is the stance taken.We do not know what it is like to live for a meal,to clothe for safety,to speak for survival and to work for peace. Frivolity and a false sense of self importance prevails in the youth today and the moment the edifice of the assumed support is taken off,all is gone.Its just that nobody dares to think of it and take it for granted that life will not change its face towards them.They revel in their secure loneliness and the ambience of family flattery..For all the arguments being engaged in in classrooms and restaurants,to live and live truly is different and no child's game.
