Reminiscence just might be this year's Renaissance

It was one of those days.... when nothing seems to give you the inner peace that we all crave at the end of the day. Perhaps all human beings are built in such array of natural capabilities that hinder us to truly experience one prolonged emotion over a period of time. So forlorn as I was feeling, a little nudge in the right direction can sometimes just bring a new breath of fresh air into our very essence of life. It was one of those days.... when I missed being heard, not necessarily by the numerous agents around me, but by the very special agent hidden deep inside me.... my conscience!!!!

So I return to the only outlet known to tech-savvy people(like me and you), who are still not fully consumed by Facebook/Twitter/MySpace. To that ancient source that was inspired by my ancestors who decided to document their thoughts, opinions, secret desires, and treasures in a well thought out manner latter materializing into a form of 'personal diary', now having evolved into 'blogger's blogs'.

We apparently have come to accept the fact that without history, no present is possible. And without understanding our past, we can simply not take a bold step ahead into the future. So, rewinding back to the past how many ever months that I was absent from blogging, I only have one word to explain the journey - simply eventful!

If I could start somewhere, it would probably be from the time I waited with bated breath for the summer, as it promised some changes in the air. There were too many options trudging me from side to side, but one option stood far out my reach, and that was to build and exceed my knowledge for a brighter future. As disheartening as it may sound, it was the first indication of a change in the horizon, and it came as a welcome surprise to be enrolled in a paid-day-to-day work atmosphere in the corporate world. As inviting as the jingling of coins in my pockets were, the essential beauty of my heart soared tremendously as a new wave of excitement and optimism kissed my life and floored me with a drizzling sense of achievement.

But no new heights can be achieved, without facing some downfalls right in it's eye. It was testifying to keep on holding to the sense of achievement, when other challenges entered the horizon demanding for attention. Nevertheless, chaos revealed it's ugly face and a change of priorities butted it's way in just like an unwanted guest would into our peaceful abode. But humanity brings to us the compassion and the ability to alter ourselves to adapt. I was no longer interested in revolving around myself, and therefore started to look out for a 'sun' to revolve around. But like they say Rome wasn't built in a day, and by no means a new leaf can be sewn in a minute. To avoid the chaos from applying any further damage, a change of scenery became evident.

If I could have just died and gone to heaven, well, I pretty much would have felt the same way as I felt the minute I set my foot on the glorified enchanted land of magical beauty, the State of Florida. It was every woman's desire, every man's peaceful kingdom, every couple's retreat, and every human's deepest imaginations come alive! Inspired by all the theme parks, the natural beauty of the sea creatures, the land animals, and the clever tricks, I was humbled to know that my sense of chaos is only music next to such vivacious beings. Fantasy met reality when Dreams Come True paraded into our life in the Magic Kingdom and our faces were animated with glee and satisfaction throughout the journey sponsored by Disney. When it came time to see the adult side of the State, the southern most tip of the most happening beach in Miami, brought to the plate some Pizzazz. Renewing the vows in a comfortable home away from home, we resumed our journey far into Space only discover that we are no more than a spec of dust in the galaxy of stars meterorites, asteroids and blackholes. While a total meltdown of inner chaos was likely, a sense of inner peace took over as smooth as the Dolphins to lift our spirits. Our animated adventures further took us to a land full of movies, where we became the stars and directed, produced, and starred in our very first movie -" Life after 2 years" (if only we could have named it that way) So all movies had to end and titles had to roll, so we rolled with the punches as we swept our memories into our Digicams and headed back to base.

Eventually, a romantic shuttle launch was anticipated, but didn't quite take off in time. So, we decided to take this opportunity to mull over the simplicities of our priorities and decided to stick to a strict plan of action as opposed to the string of chaos that usually follows us wherever we go!!! By all means, a good natured work out and technology innovations were the glue binding our mission in place. So, without further ado, a "Mission Impossible 2" soon followed us through the rest of the remaining days. It is still in motion, and the picture may seem gloomy at times, it definitely gave the sense of purpose - another achievement to be engraved in our medals of sweet memories of this year!

But, the year is not over, not by any means.. So, a simple four-day break, thanks to Mr. Turkey, proved to be as eventful as the rest of the blogging bits put forth to you till now. Few moderate changes to our living habits, through some innovative purchases have been undertaken. Luxury follows necessities, and among the few gifts for choiced family members, a treat to our eyes were the black-n-blue favorite, a blue ray on a Black Friday. Feast to our eyes and ears soon followed with feast to our mouths, ofcourse including continuing baking needs for future feasts to come.

Finally what have I thrived to hear after all, was just simply the melody of harmony. When All is well and all ends well, a new beginning seeks for a recollection of the past, and no new boundaries can be passed without illustrating the events leading to it. Now at the brink of dawn, a new stream of challenges have arisen. Will it be the story of the hunter becoming the hunted, or will the day breaker be a deal breaker? For now, it is best to assume, we never know when we have succeeded best, but only that any man who seeks for the best, very often gets it. I can only pray that success will not come any faster than I can ready myself to endure it..

so here goes nothing for the sake of something....wish me luck!!!! Peace out!

Reality sucks...but not in the Fantasy World!

There comes a day in everyone's life, when a morning cup of coffee, drizzling raindrops and loud TV noise does not affect your mood as much as it used to. A simple incident like not getting an e-mail from your Boss regarding your appraisal, or not receiving that coveted job appointment letter can bring disarray to, what would otherwise be, a perfect Sunday morning.

So, here is a similar incident which perhaps could put in perspective as to when we start noticing the subtle changes in our mindset from the ringa-ringa roses innocent emotional youth to a hard-hitting rock n roll dont-care-wtf mature adult. Probably the day you decide to make simple changes in your daily decisions such as opting for a cup of tea, instead of a sinful caramel latte, or those excited shouts of 'yipeees' to be replaced by 'oh-i-sees' or perhaps like in my case, spending a long weekend watching reality-based hard-hitting 'tear jerker' movies instead of Dreamworld fantasy action-packed-romances.

Movies are not just entertainment, not if they have a social message or awareness underlying the quiet but impacting Documentary-type movies. Few years ago, I would have probably spent half a minute of my life watching promos of these. Without doubt, a tempting PRINCE OF PERSIA: SANDS OF TIME & ROBIN HOOD would have proven to be great alternatives. What action, what drama, what fighting sequences, what animation, big big names.. yes. But, not the sort that will keep you awake long after the world has bid its goodnite.. wondering what would it be like...to be in the shoes of the lead of a pathological liar yet a genius like THE INFORMANT, or of a simple next-door girl who sees the ugly side of Journalism in PAGE-3, or of a Bulky Giant who is gentle at heart with a 'don't-u-lie-to-me' Sandra Bullock Mama in THE BLIND SIDE.

One thing is clear. All these movies have a point to prove..and that is..true stories are never going to just die without their moment of glory. Every person dreams of a life that involves being true to themselves and their conscience. No matter what we try, our World is unforgiving and it is going to stand against us at various points. The way Matt Damon could not believe how his other-wise perfect life went spiraling down to a path of destruction, doesn't give up hope even after nine years in jail, or how Konkana Sen from Page 3, who had a point to prove that celebrities lead shameless high-class shallow lives that will always overshadow the few good samaritans who have to fight for their share of real journalism, or how Big Mike proved a point that good people can not only make a real difference in a person's life, but even in a nation's future. These are all true characters, with true feelings, who have been beaten down several times by the world..and yet they stood tall..not giving up for who they are and what they believed in..and that is the lesson that opened my eyes to reality today.

Agreed, that we all have our moments of ups and downs, but the only person who can get up and dust the knees and keep walking is u and me. The moment we realize that to change a system, we need to be in the system and lead our lives not with just passion, but with smartness to know when and how to use our strengths is what reality is. Although in reality I learn't all this from a movie industry which is after all just fantasy.

But, in my world... after the end credits started to roll, fantasy decided to give me after a long time 'reality-check', please!

Vain-in-time's Day!

DISCLAIMER: If you are reading this post, embrace yourself.. Its going to be a worse sequel than "Men are from Who cares..and Women are from Watevers" book :P
NO! I'm not a Dragon breathing fire.. n YES! I'm Married n YES! I did enjoy the perks of a beautiful Romantic Valentine's day by throwing a party at my place!
Oh and YES!YES!.. my husband is not a fictional character of ma imagination.. he's full of flesh n bones..also some IT Brains.. who went old-school with me by giving me a Single Rose Bouquet the Day before and on Feb 14! & Ofcourse who cud forget Yum Chocolates.. oh and NO! Im not selfish gold-digger, i gave him two "hand-written-poemed" Greetings!


Phew! Now that we got the good salad part out of the way... lets get directly to the Meat! :P

Inspiration for ma blog, comes from a newly wed Brotha's blog post (Click Here) about his Valentine's Day.. n he asks all the right questions.. Would u get a look at that.. finally a Man who brings a new perspective to the age old tradition! Give it up for the Dude! He said it..n He said it all..n.. I couldn't help but clean the cobwebs in ma blog to write this post!

So, u ask a passerby and he will tell u.. Valentine's Day = Love, Love, Love!

It is not so much about what is Valentine's Day.. as to Why do we celebrate a day for Love.. when everyday is meant for Love.. right? I mean.. we are so caught up in the formalities.. that I bet half of the people celebrating.. wouldn't know the answer for "Who is valentine.. n Why do we celebrate his death day" !!!!!

Yes.. shocked as you may be.. Valentine.. was not a romeo type lover.. he was actually a Saint - a Holy Priest..n He got martyred on supposedly that day! Now.. who or which playboy in the Mid 14th Century decided to do something lovey dovey on this day to get the ball rollin... no one knows :) But History says He was working against the Roman Catholic Church (which was an undermined empire of it's own centuries ago) and made secret marriages happen which was against the law! (see more about it in Wikipedia)

But.. you know what this tells me about Human psychology. We often don't have much insight, but just go with the flow! Someone got the ball rolling... n now its a widespread National Holiday! Now, with the weird historical aspect aside, Valentine's day is all about romance & love! What better way to express than with a cuddly stuffed animal :P For Pete's sake, some God-damn hunter named Teddy would have run out of ideas to express his love for his matey.. n so would have stuffed his roadkill with straw n been like. Yo Woman! Here's Ted-die-bear.. Boy, would that be a sight to see! I bet she set him straight wit her shot gun rite then n there! :P

N Yes...All this coming from a person who received last year a Big Teddy Bear wit a Heart pillow in da middle(like the countless ones u might hav seen tat describes "cuddle" in more ways tat anyone can imagine!) Well, there u have it Boys! If u were scratching your head wondering where do women get the bright idea of 'cuddling'...well, blame the Teddy Bear's Ancestry!!! Well, Romantics do admit that what makes this world go around is "LOVE". (but that was before Beer was born :P after that the definition changed for men obviously..thus giving birth to Devdases!)

Ok. I know what you must be wondering...that I'm totally bashing the spirit of Valentine.. well Bless his Soul...Ain't Love a Bitter-Sweet Tale always? So we come to our main focus..(the inspiration from ma Brotha's blog)

THE TEDDY BEAR addiction!

All women love Teddy Bears..(exceptions who r hiding their teddy bears behind including).. now that said n done, what do women like in them the most? It is soft, cute and good to cuddle with.. I actually think these qualities are those that women don't find in men necessarily! So the thrill of getting a teddy bear, I believe is actually the thrill of having a Man daring enough to accept that he ain't got any qualities tat a Teddy Bear do...n are willing to satisfy the curiosity of women by giving it to them! It is the only missing piece in the jigsaw puzzle! Any day.. a man holding a teddybear is way cuter than a man growing as much hair as one!

N Yes..when it comes to choosing between saving a teddy bear or you..the world is goinna chose the teddy bear guys! You can have this from ma personal experience! A few posts below u may see a "My BELOVED TEDDY" (Click Here) It was a priced possession.. and my bro..(sibling rivalry of course) always made me go mad with anger when he kept punching the poor teddy! N When my mom was summoned hearing my screams.. she would actually side wit the Teddy bear.. n my bro would sneer.. "even a teddy bear got more love here!" Hehe!:P

Why Women love these stuffed toys when the thought of hunting would scare the hell out of them? Well, Why do Men love holding on to the remote like a lifeline while watching TV? If I knew the answers, I would be in VENUS.. n if I told you.. You would be in MARS! So until they find a planet breath-able for Mankind GO FIGURE!! :P

Love is in da air.. or is tat infactuation??

Many people can't make out the difference between a crush, infactuation and Love. Here r my interpretations

-Crush is the initial stage of liking someone as in admiring them and wanting to be like them or with them.PS: u may not need to know the person at all, infact one meet is enough.

-Infactuation is when u get to know a person and things r in dating stage and ur pretty excited about this person. U want to know more and more about this person, a sort of obsession/intriguing feeling.

Lust: When all u have in mind is physical, with little emotional thoughts in background.. but well, intentions r pretty clear as to wat is wanted!

-Love-> for simplifcation i split it into two types.
1)Its a love that makes u see the person as cute, adorable, and lovable and huggable. U feel nice n warm around that person and feel like hugging them n just adoring the feeling with them. Very caring and affectionate protective feeling.

2)Its a love that goes further than the first love, where one person finds the other irresistible, always wanting to be with the person, kissing and hugging and much more. A very satisfying passionate and possesive feeling.

NOTE: difference between 'protective' and 'possessive'

As nothing makes things clear as examples, i give u a few for the above.

Crush - The new guy u spotted around the corner, and u run into him couple of times. A pic/person u came across on Orkut and u frequent their profile often.

Infactuation- Feeling after dating a crush/someone couple of times. Or U been scrappin for few days/weeks with this person in orkut. U wanna move to gtalk/yahoo or even wanna call the person.

Lust: Generaly most guys hav prob with confusing this with luv, n girls confusing the lust of men for love! Girls,try practicin celibacy n tat will test his love (if its jus lust or not). General eg is one-night standers or party-goers have "fun".

Love - first type
Close friends, friends u just dont wanna part with..can be of diff genders and feel as close as bro/sis, gf/bf, and godfather/girl etc etc.. but jus still friends.

Love-Second type
Couples, flirting dating ppl, husband-wife, bf-gf


I know these are Some basic terms and examples that we often see, but what i realize is most fail to recognize properly. Most guys/girls confuse infactuation with love or love with lust n we know the outcome then very well !!
----
Dedication: Its time for a 'slow dance number' thats soulful n meaningful for me at this point.

...Tadpaaye Mujhe Teri Sabhi Baatein
Ek baar aye Deewane
Jhoota hi Sahi, Pyaar to Kar...
...Mein Bhooli Nahi Haseen Mulaaqaatein
Bechain karke Mujhko
Mujhse yu naa Pher Nazar...
...Roothega na Mujhse, mere Saathiya ye Waada Kar
Tere Bina..
Mushkil Hai..
Jeena mere mere Dil Mein...
..Zara Zara..Behekta Hai..

Quote of the Day:-
It is really easy to Die for Someone.. but very hard to LIVE for someone..

That's all Folks!

Letter to Amitabh Bachchan

Well.. I am not sure how I should be addressing you under this circumstance, but let me make a humble start by saying Hi Mr. Bachchan

I am not quite sure if you get a chance to read all the comments that are posted here, but i sure hope this one is read at some point. :) The thought of Earth Hour had me wondering.. what is the current situation with Nature and Humans. It is almost as if they are on opposite ends, each trying to tip the scale by showing how much more powerful they can be over the other. As I surfed through the History channel ( which shows mostly documentaries on our planet and life in it), I was pretty mesmerized to see soo many shows that were titled "mega disasters" Global Warming and more and more speculations about 2012 DoomsDay prophecy. To top it all, movies like Day after Tomorrow, the Day the Earth Stood Still, have just brought to the masses..what the scientists have been proclaiming all along - the sequence of events leading to Nature's Abnormalities.

I don't know if you have seen the movie "Crack in the World" taken way back in 1965.. it is a classic about what Human beings are doing to this Earth. It only made me surprised that even after 44 years we are still making movies on how much harm we are doing to our planet. While Earth Hour maybe a small measure to create awareness, what is more important is a global change of mindset. I mean..what good is it.. if a person follows Earth Hour this week or every week.. but doesn't indulge in a consistent reduction of wastage of electricity?

Pls be aware that I am not questioning the authority of the motion Earth Hour..but simply trying to stress the importance of the aftermath reactions of people! That is what is most important..don't you think? With this in mind, I think every person should take it upon themselves to commit to doing One activity atleast that is in sync with "go green" initiative. Even then.. it is such a slow process..while on the other hand the rate of repletion of global resources has not reduced but is only increasing at an alarming rate.

To conclude, as a 23 yr old who is a Major in International Economics with a dream of pursuing a career in United Nations at some point in my life..I only want to make people aware of this psychological notion.. It is very easy to react (when you get inspired by Earth Hour you act on it)..but without any exterior motive, a motivation coming from within making you act on it day by day...well..that is what this Earth wants. Doing good to Earth, is not a favor.. it is a Duty! The day we understand that.. will be the day Humans and Nature can find some measure of Harmony.

Philosophicaly, I just realized..how easy it is to destroy..but how difficult it is to create. 2 mins to cut down a tree..but 20 years for it to grow strong.

Our Mindset is everything.. May peace be restored to this Dark Age..and may we bring brightness to this Darkness(Ignorance of our duty) through the lamp of our Mind-set!

Its been more than a year since my last post... I have let down a lot of blogging friends and readers who have from time to time often commented casually that I should continue blogging and writing...My retort was that life is too busy for me now and I do not have the time to sit back and gather my thoughts to write them down as a blog post.

But now my fingers are twitching with excitement... because only while writing this do i sense what all i have missed. Writing purely is a passion..and for some people it becomes a necessity a way to give an outlet to all the thoughts in the other realm. While for some people like me it is a way to show my creativity, my passion for exposing what is not known.. sometimes even to myself.

So here I am back to regain my blogging experience, which I believe I will find it intensely satisfying.
So...Goodnight Sleeping...Good Morning Blogging!

Story time-come come

I have grown up loving Grandma's stories. Today, I want you all to come sit with me while I narrate to you one of my favorites.

There was a king once.. with four wives.. he likes his second wife better than his first wife... and he liked the third one better than the second...n the fourth wife the youngest..he liked her the best. So, he used to neglect his first wife a lot.

So.. one day this king was struck by a very serious illness.. and he was told that he doesnt hav much time... and the King feels very restless..and sad...that he has to leave everyone..

So.. he called the wife he liked the most.. that is the fourth wife.. and said..
"listen, i am afraid of death.. and i dont want to go alone.. will u come with me...?"
The fourth wife..being the youngest.. straight away said..
"No, of course not!" and immediately went away.

The King then called the third wife... whom he liked the second best...after the fourth wife... and said.. l
"listen... i am afraid of death.. i would like you to come with me.. will you?"
The third wife.. didnt right away say no like the fourth wife.. Instead, she said..
"I cant come because after you die i will marry someone else."

So he was little upset and finally he called the second wife..and said
" See, the last two wives didnt want to come with me.. atleast you come with me.."
The second wife was nicer than the rest two. So, she said..
"ok, i will come with you.. but only till the graveyard"

By now, the King was feelin very sad, when his first wife.. who was very thin and not so beautiful anymore came to him.. and... she said..
" Dear King, U are my husband.. and i will always be with you no matter what.. im ready to come with you all the way..."

Now..what is the meaning of this story...?

The meaning is like this... every man comes across the four forms that are shown as the wives in this story.

This fourth wife.. whom the king loved the most.. is symbolizing our physical body.. we are attracted to our body the most.. we always want to perfect it... we do things to satisfy it.. but we shud know.. no matter what.. this body will not come with us after our life is gone. its straight no..

The third wife.. who said after the king will die will marry other.. is symbolizing.. our status, our money... after we die.. this status and our money that we have attained.. will go to someone else.. maybe our children.. or to some other person...who replaces us in the successful world.

The second wife.. who was willing to come ..till the graveyard.. symbolizes... our relatives and friends.. they are all there for us all the time. and are willing to come till the graveyard for support.. but not beyond that.

The first wife.. whom the King neglected the most.. is nothing but the soul inside us.. our aatma, our personality, our individuality. our conscience..
We dont really care so much about it.. nor do we give any attention to it. but, it is the only thing that will stay with us forever..that is always our own.. our soul stays with us forever.. learn to love yourself.. and you can embrace any trouble in this earth with no fear.. even death.

Children of the Sky

World, hear me. This is a cry of hope and dream from one of your children. A child who has been gifted with the best luxuries that she could visualize. One who was born in the better side of lifestyle, spoonfed all responsibilities. Today, I am going to stop saying NO to myself. This week my exams start. Although, they are not going to change anything big in my life at this moment. Yet, I have taken it a point to take them as a challenge for myself. Now, no more of "no, cant do", "no, dont know", "no, wont".

Negativity is completly eradicated from my life until I score brownie points achieving my goal. Ambition right now is to return to India. Let's hope that I pull this through. US was a horrible suprise that I certainly wasn't happy about. I lived till yesterday with this feeling. Now, I am ready to shed that load. Whatever has happenned, regretting is only putting me in this cyclonic mood-swing. NO more thinking more than tht's required.

Now its.. JUST DO IT.. Nike Way. Children of Sky don't stay on earth for long. They go to the place where they do belong..Sky! Lets make this ride as exciting as it can get! I bow down to myself and my thirst for thrill. Now, I start a life..for good or for bad...certainly more motivated than ever before! :)

Coca Cola Enjoy..



Aah Yes.. the old age myth has come true. Seriously, Is Diet Cola less harmful than Coca Cola??
I dont know.. and frankly I dont care. I am not a Coke addict. (Neither the drink nor the drug). But yeah.. I am a "Diet" Addict. Everyday I am approached by choices.. as small as.. eating the healthier yoghurt.. choosing 0.5% instead of 0.8 or 1%. I don't really know how much it matters in the long run.. but it really is a tiring to look for alternatives to each delicious thing that comes your way. :P

By the way, I came across this new Tamil Advertisement in SunTV about Cocacola by Radhika. She wears a typical saree and gives a speech on how much she cares about the healthy production of Cocacola as she also believed all those rumors about how bad it is. So, they show her wearing this showercap in some Cocacola type factory.. looking over the way the bottles are capped and produced and she explains that its a really healthy process and recommends that anyone who has a doubt should visit the factory. She then opens a cocacola bottle drinks it saying.. I can tell with guarantee that Cocacola is a very Healthy Drink and she takes a gulp of Cola.

What is this world coming to?

"what is this world coming to?"

Ok, maybe my thought process starting from one direction to another and ended in such a philosophical question. But, it all started with my last post. Yes, the one about my Teddy Bear. It went on to my Financial Markets Class yesterday. My proffessor addressed the class politely and gave us details about the course structure. Then, she went on to add that she hopes to finish most of the lectures before the mid-term exam. After that, she wants to sit back and relax while the students come up in front and do presentations. The reason which she explained after looking cautiously at her stomach. She is pregnant and is due to have a baby by January. She "hopes" to be here till the end of the semester.. but if that isnt the case, then a substitute teacher would be arranged. Me and my friends were amused. She looked so damn slim! Where is this baby?? Yes, just like boys stare at women.. we girls were staring at her weird! :P

I was playing with my pen wondering what this woman was doing in a university, when she should clearly be at home enjoying this. But, then she threw me off balance with another statement that her two year old son is at home and therefore she wont be available for consultation at all hours. I stared at her... well.. middle..again. Gosh, i haven't seen a woman go through all this.. this.. well baby process. Atleast, i havent seen the 'bloating' session before yet. Lol, pardon my ignorance. Yes, well.. I did see the bloated final version of my classmate who, from what information i could gather, had delivered her child one week before the final exam week. She still turned up for the final exams. Well, I must say Kudos for her.. because she carried herself well throughout the whole session without a flinch. Then again, this wasnt her first time. This is her second child and yes, she has been married for six years now.

While i was listening to Himesh's jhalak dikhlaaja in my w300i, a realization hit me in this cold afternoon of september 7th. The world is changing so quickly! The whole process of learning and observing has just become twice faster. Children.. are actually Brilliant nowadays! They achieve things that we cant even fathom to!

I mean.. what is the most well-known toy for a little boy? Guns! He loves guns and learns to use it when he can't even spell the word Gun yet!
Favorite game for a boy? Police-thief game or super-hero games. Why not declare peace? No wayzz.. tichikiyaonnnnn.. I am here to shoot everyone with my plastic gun! And we are sitting here gasping at the arrests of terrorists. Look at what your kids are exposed to!

Girls aren't better off either. Most well-known Toy for a little girl? Barbie! The perfect image of a new modern era girl who dresses slutty and looks bimboish. The first thing your little girl learns is how to undress and dress a Barbie. And we are dumbstruck by the emerging Bipasha's and Mallika's. What else do u expect??

Favorite game for a girl? Family-family game. A huge fight between the lil girls on who gets to be the 'mommy' for the dolly. "... I will stay at home and take care of the baby and cook, and you go to office ok?..." And these same girls grow up to become 'feminists'???

What is this world coming to...
