Happy Women’s Day! But, are there any Happy Women somewhere? Where do the Sad Women go?
When I wished her Happy Women’s Day,
She said: “Why I am not included?
If Happy Women can have to themselves a day,
Why are sad ones like me excluded?”
“Shouldn’t it be just Women’s Day,
Whether they are happy or sad?
I have just this little something to say:
Women’s Day be for all, good or bad.”
I looked at her strange reasoning,
Ability to convert into argument everything;
And then I thought, without seasoning,
What flat taste a salad would bring?
So I bowed to her from below and above,
My dark cloud lined with a silver ray;
And I said, “You are right here too, love,
Have your kind of Women’s Day”!
I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.

Totally agree, there is so much to be done to make Women Day happy for every woman… especially in developing countries… Ravi Veer Ji, every word you write touches my heart.. thanks..🙏🙏💐💐❤️❤️
Thank you Su.
A woman is a woman wherever she may be .Indispensable from birth till the day we part – mother , daughter , sister et al
We owe a lot to her at every stage of our life, Sir. Sikhs have a Gurudwara named after a woman: Bibi Gursharan Kaur in Chamkaur Sahib. She followed the edict of Guru Gobind Singh ji by cremating the martyrs in battle against Aurangzeb and when she, one day, noticed the Mughal army approaching, she jumped into the pyre herself rather than surrender to the Mughals.
Sikh women have played an iconic role in the face of adversaries for sure , but we cannot disregard the role of Indian Women in general , like the Rani of Jhansi .
It is also a matter of great pride to hear of woman Air Marshal and the new young lady fighter pilot in the Indian Air Force – no less are the 5 women naval officers on a sailing voyage around the world , braving the fury and challenges at sea by themselves .
