Greatness of Women

See Secular Song 580 that I wrote after this

Recently I  was  admitted in  Ramachandra hospital  in Chennai to put  pacemaker. From  the  emergency  ward in  which I  was  admitted [4.6.2022] till  I  was  discharged [10.6.2022], in each and  every  section  more  than  90 percent  of  the  staffs are  only  woman. 

Though all the  staffs were very  kind  and took  care of the  patients, still  without  the  outstanding noble service  of  women  staffs neither  the  patients  can  survive  their  ordeal  nor  the  hospital  can continue to  function completely.

Generally I hesitate to  go to  hospital for  any  treatment.  Even if I  had to go   I would  do  my best  to  come out quickly.  Getting  admitted in a hospital  is the  last  thing  I wanted  in  life.  But  for  the first time  I realized that even a  hospital  could be  your  home  as  women  are  there  too  to  take care of  us, as  they  do  in  our  homes. 

After returned back to  my  ashram as was I  recalling  my  time  in the  hospital I  wrote  this  song about  women without  whom  humanity  can survive on  this  earth.

 [20/06, 2:16 pm] Dayanand Bharathi: We are  back to normal life  and  Patti  continue to  dominate  and  control  as  women do everywhere 

 [20/06, 2:52 pm] Padma: O ho but u have written a song on women without whom humanity cannot survive 

[20/06, 2:52 pm] Dayanand Bharathi: We have to  accept the  reality  in  life.  Women not  only  control  our [here exclusively  men] life but  also  know how to  take  control of everyone’s  life 

NB: The original context of this song is completely different.  After the pacemaker was put, Uma from Salem [Prakash’s wife] sent one Whatsapp message: ‘Less talk more rest’. In response I wrote: ‘Yes Amma, we have to obey women.’  For this she responded by sending another message: ‘Support from you for women, what a surprise’.  I sent back my response to this: Ok, let me write one song praising woman’.  When she wrote back, ‘Awaiting’, I sent another message, ‘Be ready for the shock.  I am going to write a song praising women’.

But when I reflected about my days in the hospital though I teased Uma, still as I am not against women and always supported them [if you don’t believe see ‘Women versus Men’ in my blog] I wrote this song really praising them, particularly for their ‘MOTHERHOOD’ and ‘nurturing nature’.

I want to record another observation about women in life.  They are multi-task people.  A woman can be a wife, mother, sister, daughter and daughter-in-law simultaneously handling every challenge easily. Whereas most of the men are single task oriented people.  Though he has many roles to play in life, still in real life he can play one role at a time.  Recently I was staying with my sister.  Her son will never go to the kitchen and even make a cup of tea for him.  His wife or mother alone does all the kitchen work.  One evening after he got up after lunch his wife went to the kitchen to prepare a cup of tea for him.  That time their second son got up. So she asked my nephew to see him. But he was lying lazily on the sopha asked her to go and see. So she has taken her son and keeps her on the hip and prepares the tea for her husband and serves him.  After the tea, when she again tried to give the boy to her husband, he said, ‘just I got up and relaxing.  Don’t dump the boy immediately on me.  Let me relax for a few minutes’.  Knowing his nature, she kept quiet.  After ten minutes when she raised her head and sent the message to him through her eyes, unable to disobey took the boy to the open terrace to play cricket with him.  I even noticed this not only in the life of my sister but also many other women. They will carry the baby on their hip and cook, keep an eye on the other child and others in the home, meanwhile attend phone calls, and do many other tasks.  One eye she will keep in the kitchen, another eye she will keep on the family members [except on father-in-law as he will be under the surveillance of her mother-in-law] and she will keep the invisible [but very powerful] third eye on her mother-in-law [mother-in-law doing the same with all her three eyes]. [The invisible third eye is their natural missile and anti-missile defence system against each other.]

Whereas in general man can do only one work at a time as he always lives with the principle ‘one day at a time’?  That is why someone well said that: while men seek pleasure, women seek pleasure and security.
