A contrary view by the author on the controversial statement by Manohar Parrikar that has most feminists in arms against the stereotyping.
Yes, I enjoy a drink But it’s more than the sip For I really have no taste for it But it makes me feel hip
I love the swirl of liquid The way the bubbles in my mouth pop And the warmth burns down my throat Like a summer that won’t stop
But my dad does frown on it Though he himself enjoys a drink Would he do it if I was his son I don’t really think
Does that make him parochial I don’t feel it does he never frowned upon my other whims So why should I fuss
He indulged in all that mattered to me My ambitions and my dreams He does get concerned if I take after him For all his vices, I mean
If I was a son Perhaps he would worry a lot less But it’s certainly not prejudice Like we worried at the start
Is it something to do with gender Or may be alcohol But it’s certainly not prejudice Like we took the call…
