Me and My day...

It's International Women's Day today. All know about it, right ? The day comes every year, because 8 th March is on calendar. I am a woman, I also know about it . What preparations I have done to Celebrate it? Nothing really. Do you know why ? Because, I consider it ' any other usual day in my life' . Some women may find this inaccurate, foolish , crazy , some may resonate with my thought. Some may say , go enjoy , pamper yourself, don't cook, go to hotel, , post your activities on social media, just chill..anybody stopping you from doing this? No , of course not .

By 'earlier ' , I mean prior to lockdown time. I get to see number of beautiful birds chirping around and cute little squirrels running after each other. Many a times , they visit my window to eat nuts , I keep for them and drink water. Little further away , I see overhead bridge which used to be blocked by traffic jams, from early in the morning and continue till late nights.  The surrounding areas are quiet ,  calm and peaceful . At times I feel I am breathing much cleaner air and get to see some twinkles in the sky in the night. Otherwise , I will spend lots of money, visiting some places away from city's clamour , in search of such peaceful environment.  What I get to hear without fail is temple bells, Azaan and ambulance sirens.       Covid 19 Pandemic declared by WHO, then the lockdowns anno...
