Symphony 28 - Page 137

Media finds it convenient to portray a lot of negativity and statements that can be twisted turned and squeezed  and newsworthy to them...It rarely highlights the grit and resilience of the woman...I work in an area which has the highest female infanticide, single women and women affected with HIV...With governments doling out freebies  there is hardly any motivation in one section while the survival instinct is so strong that there are so many girls striving to move up with their hard work and resilience...working at home...in other homes to supplement family resources cycling their way to school and proving year after year of their capability. Media does not celebrate them...Kids could easily recognise the face of Malala but had hardly heard Sathyarthi ...his name rarely mentioned or seen his picture or heard of his work...
We get a few strong role models which we celebrate...The women scientists dont rake in moolah like a controversial statement by Deepika

So well written, Bollywood is too busy backing the likes of Salman. They only go after scientists and mere mortals if they see a "biopic" in it. Mary Kom, Milkha, Neerja Bhanot. What a shame her story will be essayed by someone like Sonam Kapoor with an IQ of 10, and "acting quotient" of ZERO!!
Ask Pee Ceee where Mary Kom is today? she probably will ask u "Mary who?" So true Satyarthi has done tremendous work, but Malala is a celebrity Medha Patkar, Dr Kurien (Amul --Gujarat Dairy Federation) and the hundreds and thousands of NGO workers across India have done a million times more than Aamir but Aamir rakes in the big bucks by prostituting the poor on prime time. Since his show is title "Satyameva Jayate" we must all bow in reverence, and recommend a Bharat Ratna for him.

I dont say celebrating Malala is wrong

Namratha - Sorry.. Forgot to mention!! 

What I meant was not ignoring survivors like Malala but also highlighting the travails of young girls who persist against all odds...there are many people like our own Vani who are doing their bit to be the change...I head a school listed as a changemaker school...yet i feel i am not doing as much as schools in  remote places across the country...I feel there are so many women of substance around us...i had women belonging to a self help group i am involved with asking me to help buy gold coins...i had a chat with them as to what happens when they face a financial crunch and at the end of half an hour they were ready to start a dairy(they have been successfully running it for a good 8 years now) to me these women who toil hard to keep the family together who walk great distances to fetch water and fodder...who persist against the injustice of society is each a celebrity ...

Thank you so much ashu...!!
