Feel the power of silence when it unfolds your thoughts, uncreases your life, and makes you feel good about yourself.
The tinnitus of silence
Played a cacophony of its own
Or was it a quietude of a different kind.
When my heart opened
To the purity of gratification
All the insatiable desires
Died silently.
Drenching my core in serenity
Screaming like an echo
Reverberating from deep inside.
Stirring goosebumps to all my sides
Silence is not silent
She makes the most noise.
She spoke to me
In language I already knew
Of astral lineage
musical and inviting
Hauling me to a bygone past
Overpoweringly scintillating.
Practise silence to meet your own self
For a slow burial of your own vices.
Cease to be a source of noise for once,
Silence your speech~desires~ego
The judgements~habits~thoughts.
Before the curtains fall on you
And you meet her once again
Acquaint yourself with her.
She makes the most noise
And yet, she is beautiful.

If her home and family seem to be impacted by her career then we expect her to prioritize her ‘responsibilities at home as a woman’ and leave her job.
The entrenched patriarchal norms have always perpetuated certain roles and responsibilities as falling specifically in the domain of either men or women. Traditionally, women have been associated with the domestic sphere while men have been considered the bread winner of the household. This division of roles has become so ingrained in our lives that we seldom come to question it. However, while not being questioned does give the system a certain level of legitimacy, it in no way proves its veracity.
This systematic division has resulted in a widely accepted notion whereby the public sphere is demarcated as a men’s zone and the private sphere as belonging to women. Consequently, women are expected to stay at home and manage the household chores while men are supposed to go out and make a living with no interest whatsoever in the running of the household.
This divide is said to be grounded in the intrinsic nature of men and women. Women are believed to be compassionate, affectionate and loving and these supposedly ‘feminine’ qualities make them the right fit for caring roles. Men, on the other hand are allegedly more sturdy, strong and bold and hence, the ones to deal with the ordeals of the outside world.
Investing in women means many things beyond the obvious meaning of this IWD2024 theme, as the many orgs doing stellar work can show us.
What does it mean to invest in women?
Telling the women in our lives how great we think they are? That we value the sacrifices they have made? (Usually though not necessarily only – a sacrifice of their aspirations, careers and earning potential in order to focus on family).
No, thank you. Just talk is no longer going to cut it. Roses and compliments are great, but it’s time people, leaders, organizations put their money, capital, resources on track instead.
