  1. Hey Ramya,
    I liked your observation about the career bit. And to me it is the same – it is easy to make peace with failed relationships, cheating friends and backstabbers but at workplace it’s far more tough. It’s also something I worry about more.

    Trust me being married and delaying kids for 6 years into the marriage is equally antagonising as being single at 30:-))) Family and friends do not understand the big deal about career to hold back family and I cannot explain.

    It’s not that I’m making it in the news but it’s something I’ve worked hard for, done a failry good job at it and I love it – and am entitled to pursue it:-) Thank god that it’s my luck the one person who matters understands – else my misery would be worse!:-))

    I connected with those thoughts immediately.

    I haven’t seen the movie – the trailers did not excite me! I don’t think I will see it either:-)

    nice post – well put!

    1. @Minal: Absolutely! I so know what you mean, especially “It’s not that I’m making it in the news but it’s something I’ve worked hard for, done a failry good job at it and I love it – and am entitled to pursue it:”

      Somehow this forced burden of relationship angst is as bad as assuming that we’ve to be great cooks just because we’re women. And then it goes back to the old complaint that if we’re ambitious, we get called bitches. Grmph.

      1. And add to it that even though we may make the same amount of money or are on the same levels we are still expected to be in charge of the household!! Sigh!!! We all are still fighting it out :)) hopefully the next generation won’t:)
