She , he and they

She  , he and they

By

P.R.Ramachander

(Parents of yesteryears   depended  on their son and always thought, that she who married him was their slave and that poor she suffered , waiting  for the time when she   will become they and the story  was repeated  ad infinitum.

   

Times have changed

Girls are   brought up as  independent persons who  is as good as any son. When anyone(whether it is he or they)  tried to make her slave, she rebels .He unlike the He of yester years  wants , His Her   to lead a happy life  and build up a wonderful   and joyful home

So it is time that  they of His  changed suitably,

Thanks to Radha Sriram because her post gave me  the idea for writing this.)

                                                              SHE

When she   was born in her   home  , they knew that  one day  she would go away,

And they did not know ,  what type of life she will  have to lead , after leaving them,

And so   they decided to honour   her wishes, welcome   her  forward    thoughts,

And allow  her to study  what she wants  and make her totally  independent.

AS a result   she  grew up in to   a person  who loved remarkable independence,

She knew that, to be born as female   was not inferior  and she  is equal to all males,

She learnt  that work is worship and  she  started to earn   as much as any male she knew,

But as a woman she loved to build a home, to become a wife and a mother with  a loving family around her.

                                                             HE

But when he   was born his parents   thought that  he would be with them forever,

And  they spoiled him, by giving all that he wants , and  become an ATM to him rather than parents,

Even if  he did  not obey them  or wandered   with friends   and came back after  midnight,

The parents thought ,  that it was natural for a boy to be like that, and give them all leeway.

                                                        HE and SHE

But when he got a she  and she got married to him , his going out   with her ,

Seemed to them as wrong as they felt that  one day he   will desert them along with her .

Though he might have disobeyed them earlier and might have   talked rudely  to them earlier,

They who tolerated all , become agitated and worried, by  the self same actions after   she came.

But their love to him made    them feel that   he can do no wrong  ,

And they turned all the blame    for all he did,    not on him but on  her,

The poor , innocent she   who came   along with him to their home,

Started   suffering a lot  not for her mistakes but  those of his.

She was not that unlettered  yet to be moulded  bride  of yester years ,

She was as educated as him and earned  as much as   him  and knew the world as much as him,

She could get any international  recipe by google  and order  any food of her choice by an app,

And there is nothing   that   she needs to learn    from his mother to run her house.

                                                          THEY

They who are   his became scared   of her when she earned and took  decisions,

The independence which she learnt in her home , appeared   to them  as  a wrong behaviour,

She was not having devotion to him  or to them like God but she  wanted him and them  to be her friends,

And she   did  not want to be scared and  obey them or him like a slave  and make her life miserable .

Her upbringing , her education, her independence , her love  and her sense of duty,

Made her firm  on her very proper  behaviour, aimed at  building a loving home,

And definitely not become a humble slave  to whosoever it is in this world,

And so , if they want to live peacefully and happily   , they will have to change.
