DearGagana,
I
have
tresspassed
into
for
womens
only
went
wrong
and
how
could
it
go
wrong?......I
liked
your
article
on
friendship
(sambhandagala
sokillada
geletana)......
I agree with your views on repression on women which is unfortunately happening on a large scale even today.....but dont you think things are changing slowly.....why are you not reflecting those changes which would add a positive tone to your stories?
Does being liberal and independent mean to make men feel inferior? Is disagreeing with men the definition of modern woman? Do men not make compromises in life? Can a husband never be a friend?
I
have
been
trying
to
find
answer
to
these
questions
in
nearly
three
years
of
forced
bachelor
hood
and
deprived
parent
hood.There
are
men
like
me
who
are
forced
to
suffer......and
unfortunately
there
are
no
commissions
or
forums
where
we
can
be
heard
sympathetically........our
sufferings
and
voices
are
crushed
by
the
crusade
of
womens
liberation
and
empowerment.
from
a
friend....

Hi Gagana,
read ur writup. Liked it. I liked the way its presented. Especially the sentence where you mention that other lady thought u were still not ready to go :-) But I have seen that now a days we have started following other people dressing trend than what we want or what suits the occassion. We need to dress for the occassion and comfort together,

It was too good, not everything was my experience though but it happens sometime.. That was the article which I could relate to myself among all...
Excellent post.. omme bheTi maadbeku nimmanna. heege bareyuttiri.

Hi Gagana,
Very nice article. Even though its true to many cases, but its not the universal truth. My name is Vaishali and am very proud of my name. My name or surname didnt change after marriage. Even my passport has my original name including my surname given to me at my birth. My husband or his family doesnt even bother about it and even if they did, I was ready to fight for my name. My mother in law still has her birthname and surname. My mother didnt change her name after marriage, but replaced her middle name with my fathers name. I think she equally important or more idenitity in our community and many times my dad is proud to introduce himself as her husband.
My husband has become Mr Hegde (his last name is Bhat) to many of my colleagues and he doesnt mind it. I think its in our hands to decide what we want in life and what we can become, it doesnt have to be "Paalige bandaddu panchaamrutha".
I do know some of my friends after being educated and working in high profile jobs, readily changing their names, never really thought of it as their identity.
On the other hand, I have another friend where she kept her name and gave her name to her son, whereas her daughter has her husbands name. Its a real equality.
Nice articles and keep writing more and more thought provoking articles.
thanks,
- Vaishali
