Advantage Women !!!!! (Mood - Pensive)

Before I am termed one, let me clarify that I am no MCP. For those of you who know what the acronym stands for, would have already understood my point here (after all even I have an ass to save) and those of you who don't know the expansion of MCP, thank God !! that you dont.
Yesterday, it was the umpteenth time that the women's reservation bill was supposed to be passed, and as we all know now, it was indeed passed - into the trash though !! The news flash read Women's Bill - made a Joke.
The 1st two words caught my imagination " WOMEN'S BILL". Heyy when did the bill go to the woman, I wondered. Wasn't that always the birth right of the men, and of course you were being indecent if you thought of going Dutch.
And then I thought how advantageous it is being a Woman.

• A woman needn't stand in a queue. You are legally/illegally (depends on whether you like calling the glass half filled or half empty) allowed to break it and get the job done before the men did it !! Huh ! So efficient. And when someone interrupts while you barge in, you have as well got the audacity to shout at him. After all women need a lot of exercise, what if its the vocal chord.
• The office is such a cool place. Its strictly 8 hrs of complete entertainment. You can get the job done faster (find a few male friends, they are always there to help you). Uhh !! efficiency at its best and you have a point to prove that you are arguably the smarter race. And yes the 8hrs in the office still holds true. It gets really risky to go home after 6p.m until you have to go out with your B.F. Actually you needn't come to the office at all. Some one did a great job by inventing "WORK FROM HOME".
• Ahhhh !! Its so cool to travel during the summers. Ya, Why not. There are always seats in the bus and entire compartments in the trains especially booked/reserved for you. BTW you don't forfeit the right to the other seats.
• The husband dreads the wife. Well that is in the husband's gene, which is not in his control of course, and the gene acts best when married. And now you have so many ways. The husband in any case is a lone fighter because the "Right to Equality" doesn't hold here.

But yes we still need a Woman's Reservation Bill, because they(women) represent just 7% of the parliamentarians. Men, in the mean time, are staring from a distance wondering when would the right to equality truly come into existence and they can cheerfully say " Hail !! Men's reservation bill"

"All looks yellow to the jaundiced eye" - I am not currently affected by jaundice BTW.

Part One - MAXI RURAL

Finally another MAXI Fair's (Marketing Fair @ XLRI) Rural Edition culminated with much fanfare..
An exhilerating experience to say the least..
Loads of villagers showed up for the event organised near Rakha Mines area of Jharkhand..
Keeping in mind the nature of the place, we also had a security cover thrown around us ( No Z+ category sadly :( ) !!
While the event was definitely one of the best learning experieces that we can take forward from XL, it was as much fun also...
Especially when interacting with so many villagers at one go, one has got to get some of the most wierd queries...
Two teams went to the village edition of the MAXI Fair..
It was like each time had its own sub-groups, which in turn had put up stalls...
The main draw of the event for the villagers was the fact that while each of them had their own share of games and fun, none of the participants turned out a loser...
Every villager participating in the event went out as a winner..
However as i said there were moments of fun as well...
And I cant let go my post without mentioning this one..
My stall had this event where we scared people about their future and wanted to know about what they would have liked to protect in cases of such scary future..
One person happily played the game on my stall and went to the next one..
In the next stall the event had something to do with Fortune telling...
The Fortune Baba predicted a great a future for the same person for whom I had predicted a Doom !!
What a paradox !! Now the baba was up for some screwing :)
The villager poses a question as to how could he have a great future ahead when an already doomed future was predicted moments ago..and the look on the Face of the Baba(one of our batchmates) was something that we fell laughing while he was at loss of words..

However, without boring you anymore some of the best moments that I could capture during the trip are presented below :

Once again the timing was applicable to the juniors only !! While we turned up at the Bodhi Tree at 6:00 sharp, seniors were caught happily napping :)..
