Woman, you are the most amazing creature of the universe! Women are meant to be wild. It’s our birth right to be wild.
When we were kids, we were one and the same with nature, not domesticated, not bound by the rules, no constraints, free to pause and ponder, eager to explore the world, no boundaries of restrictions, free to express our thoughts, and always smiling and laughing whole-heartedly.
Slowly with the passing of time, we start being tamed by the people around us.
We forget to laugh, forget to express and forget to believe the tremendous power hidden within us. We don’t pause any more and praise the beauty of the nature. But is this the real WE? NO. We are still wild deep within our heart.
It has been rightly said by Tennessee William that “Wild is about real adventure, either in the world, or in the mind”. It teaches the caged bird to fly free, and the free bird to accept the limitless sky. Go forth and unleash your heart.
Come, let’s get rid of those handcuffs and go wherever your heart takes you and do whatever you have desired to do.
Let’s get lost in the deep forests and feel the gentle breeze of the woods again.
Let’s once again get mesmerized by the sounds of the waves and dance with the tides of the ocean.
Let’s put on those fairy wings lying somewhere inside the closet of your heart and fly high in the sky.
Let’s wake up the real you; hidden within you and take it for an adventurous ride.
Let’s meet the real we again; Wild ME! Wild YOU!

Neena was the sole caregiver of Amma and though one would think that Amma was dependent on her, Neena felt otherwise.
Neena inhaled the aroma that emanated from the pan and took a deep breath. The aroma of cumin interspersed with butter transported her back to the modest kitchen in her native village. She could picture her father standing in the kitchen wearing his white crisp kurta as he made delectable concoctions for his only daughter.
Neena grew up in a home where both her parents worked together in tandem to keep the house up and running. She had a blissful childhood in her modest two-room house. The house was small but every nook and cranny gave her memories of a lifetime. Neena’s young heart imagined that her life would follow the same cheerful course. But how wrong she was!
When she was sixteen, the catastrophic clutches of destiny snatched away her parents. They passed away in a road accident and Neena was devastated. Relatives thronged her now gloomy house and soon it was decided that she should be married off.
Women today don’t want to be in a partnership that complicates their lives further. They need an equal partner with whom they can figure out life as a team, playing by each other’s strengths.
We all are familiar with that one annoying aunty who is more interested in our marital status than in the dessert counter at a wedding. But these aunties have somehow become obsolete now. Now they are replaced by men we have in our lives. Friends, family, and even work colleagues. It’s the men who are worried about why we are not saying yes to one among their clans. What is wrong with us? Aren’t we scared of dying alone? Like them?
A recent interaction with a guy friend of mine turned sour when he lectured me about how I would regret not getting married at the right time. He lectured that every event in our lives needs to be completed within a certain timeframe set by society else we are doomed. I wasn’t angry. I was just disappointed to realize that annoying aunties are rapidly doubling in our society. And they don’t just appear at weddings or family functions anymore. They are everywhere. They are the real pandemic.
Let’s examine this a little closer.
