Men will be MEN!

 Come November 19, declared as the International Men's Day (incidentally, without any authorisation whatsoever by any institute worth its 'title'! Has to be so, right? After all, men's day, no?), and the social media would be aflush with dark humour of the 'blue drum' and 'honeymoon blues' variety flashing re(a)d! 

Well, all that Bangalore kind of 'badmashi' is BAD! No doubt whatsoever! Any devilish behaviour is gender neutral. Period! That is to say, a vamp is a vamp is a vamp! All those harridans could have gone for a divorce, instead of murdering and/or pressurising the husband or his family or finances in to a ruin. And let us not forget that for every woman taking disadvantage of the legal rights, there is at least one man misbehaving in the public sphere or private space or both, right? 

Instead, can we not think of the very many positivities that ARE very much there, too? So, echoing the undeclared anthem entitled  "let my country awaken", let us discuss how/when/where "men will be MEN", okay? 

Men will be MEN because                                     They, too, are good at child care.                        Why merely change nappies?                                 The wow-est nannies they are.                       They are the kid's bestest friend n happy!      They cook great stuff, at times she rests.         Being a house husband is quite an asset.           No Eve they mercilessly tease.                           No attention forcefully seized.                         Secure in one's own skin.                                        in 'her' success they shine!                               Wifey's mamma's obedient son,                       equally loving to parents own!                              Lists n details such endless are.                          (He)Men be MEN, truly humane they are!

Quote of the day:                                                           'It takes more courage to reveal insecurities than to hide them, more strength to relate to people than to dominate them, more 'manhood' to abide by thought-out principles rather than blind reflex. Toughness is in the soul and spirit, not in muscles and an immature mind.'                            An anonymous quote!                        Humane indeed the person who it wrote!

Word of the day: masculinity                             Masculinity means caring for, not scaring sway, all the wretched of the earth, beyond the bounds imposed by language, class, gender, region, religion, race, caste or ethnicity!
