Would you, too, say, as is the fashion in certain circles, that feminism is passe? The typical argument such grandees often make is that women have come a long way, have managed to get almost everything, and there is no need now for any special consideration or treatment for/of them.
Indeed? Hey, come again! Want counter proof? Well, yesterday was the sisters' day as well. Including the media, hardly anybody noticed!
Actually, your sister is your best buddy. She is of your times. She knows thus all your troubles, tensions and travails.
And, yet, she is half your Mommy, too. Inbuilt in her heart is that unmistakable motherly love for you, however unconscious it may be. She cannot see you suffer. She can feel your hurt instinctively.
You may snap at her. Well, intimacy has that fault as it most often breeds the 'taking others for granted' virus. You may ten times hurt her, wound her, and yet she manages to overlook such offences in a very parental way. And, yet, she is a silent terror if you so much as think of straining away from the straight path. In such a scenario, she is much more dangerous than the fabled Big Brother, right?
No wonder, the Bollywood films till sixties would often have a sacrificing sister, right? Actually, a sister has grown up with you, knows you as a child, as a young person inside out. She may have been scolded for you at times. She would have helped you umpteen times.
A sis, in brief, always glitters like a silent star, however distant. A sis is a sis is a sis, in brief, whether the day dedicated to her gets celebrated or ignored!
