Distracted Deities

 

 Dear dazzling divas, while reading these couple of lines, for next few minutes as you scroll down the paragraph we would be celebrating ‘US’ under this bit weird theme of ‘Distracted Deities’. You must be wandering why distracted and what is so thoughtful to celebrate about it.

Well! I have an apt and pretty crisp answer to it.

A woman is born in pain

Raised in pain

And bear the pain

To give this world the existing human race.

The responsibility of running the world whether it’s the world outside house or it’s in the house, lies on the soft fragile yet secured shoulders of a woman. The hypocrite society who has double standards in dealing with women always look at us with drooling expectations that are meant to be fulfilled and we surrender ourselves  to meet those expectations, yet can’t make everyone happy. And in this whole game of making and keeping people happy we compromise, denying the facts that our bodies are giving up as we don’t pay heed to the red flags given by hormonal undulations, osteoporosis, shooting and drooping blood pressure, weakening memory. The malleability with which life runs start loosing momentum with oscillating mood swings, crackling bones, anxiousness, insomnia brought about by unsteady hormonal imbalance. After striving so hard we are still judged, tagged and blamed for all the imperfections. In all the maddening race to fit in everyone’s criteria, we remain distracted from the focal point that our own health is equally important, our own dreams, personal wishes, likings and dis-likings equally matter. We are as important as our husbands, kids, families, jobs to us. Why am ‘I” last in the row? Let’s bring back that distraction, lets rejoice the woman in us who is self-reliant, self-sufficient and self-sustaining. let’s celebrate each stumble, each hurdle, each fall, each imperfection, all forgetfulnesses, and major miss ups. We are imperfectly mismatched still we perfectly carry each task which has been assigned. Cheers to all distractions that make an impeccable blend of what we are today…… the Distracted Deities.
