In fact, I have never met anyone so single-mindedly devoted to the art of chamcha-giri / flattery. Have mercy on Shobhaa, people. Some people just have to be liked, it's like an addiction for them. They need it like food and water. Shobhaa De, inspite of being financially well settled and churning out a few best-sellers, still DESPERATELY needs rich and powerful people to love her, like her, admire her. That's all she wants.<br />Like an alcoholic who gives up everything in pursuit of the bottle, Shobhaa De has given up her personality and beliefs just to be liked. Will the almighty Anjali Tendulkar read her blog and finally invite De over to her parties, so that De can feel loved and accepted and brag about it to the uninvited, unlovable, unwanted people on this planet? Only time will tell. <br />Do not mind these people, Shobhaa De. <br />We all have problems of our own. <br />love (yes I really DO love you)<br />Uma DongreUmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05904319846900391682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-44531884669717371442010-07-18T20:57:30.712+05:302010-07-18T20:57:30.712+05:30Noor..i m in love with you

Take a reality check of any woman she has given up somewhere either the kids are brought up the maid, or parents,or parents in law, else she has made career sacrifices. If not her male colleagues wife has done it for her. I do hold this grudge, because my husband's female colleagues always cry out responsibilities citing babies and kids, it means I'm single parenting that translates to my career is suffering.<br />Mrs.Tendulkar is commendable please give her, her due.

Any topic to deal with women has been so over-thought and entangling that whatever you write you can never escape a controversy ever. <br /><br />I do not think one has to live in a black and white opinioned world and so if she supports women empowerment she cannot speak in praise of a woman who sacrificed her career. <br /><br />What is to be praised in an individual is how well he or she could stand for to put forward his or her own 'CHOICE'. Women's right doesn't only mean escaping the kitchen door and running with files towards a moving career. To have that view is a modern day stereotype anyway. <br /><br />RIGHT means right to do what one feels for. If a woman feels she is more meant for a bubbling career and realized and pursued to grip that no matter how much pressure the society puts on her...3 cheers to her for she is a free woman.<br /><br />Similarly, if a woman felt she is more passionate to leave career and take care of house and did that without a pressure or influence from the male world, 3 cheers to her too. She too is a free woman. <br />Freedom is living upto one's choice in fact.<br /><br />How praiseworthy it is to see a village girl not caring for the thousand frowns and still breaking the chains to grip a career, that praiseworthy it is to see a wife of a famous man leaving career and not bothering people tagging her 'back-dated'. They both have understood the meaning of FREEDOM.<br /><br />Kuddos to all the men who have realized that. Kuddos to all the females who have realized they can equally strive for that. That in fact is equality. And freedom lies there.<br /><br />APARAJITA <br />http://mind-spume.blogspot.comaparajitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18290616997816354094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-77389693295458684672009-12-11T12:05:42.330+05:302009-12-11T12:05:42.330+05:30'The Perfect Wife, who has understood her posi...'The Perfect Wife, who has understood her position in marriage (secondary) and placed her own personal priorities on a back burner'<br />i fail to see how such statements can be made with such authority. you are applying stereotyped norms to judge an elusive person.she could be a woman who is perfectly comfortable with herself, knows what she wants from life, chooses to go after it her way. to use the terms secondary and backburner reveals a lack of understanding of anything that exists outside the stereotype.kochuthresiamma p .jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01320086308375078739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-4233144918288668652009-12-04T15:32:51.230+05:302009-12-04T15:32:51.230+05:30I didnt realise that this as true.

The entire post reeks of chauvinism:<br />The Perfect Wife, who has understood her position in marriage (secondary) and placed her own personal priorities on a back burner. No ego. No conflict.<br />All hail Anjali.<br />This is an excellent example, if you still don't understand what all the fuss is about god help you! <br />As for shwoing some respect: Why don't YOU show some respect for woman at large and in specific, all the intellignet, empowered Indian women out there that this insults?<br /><br />"Anjali definitely falls into the ‘neighbour’s envy, owner’s pride’ category, even if that format of the idealized desi bahu no longer works for a large number of urban Indian families. Somewhere , at the backs of our minds, we still secretely admire an Anjali for all the qualities that are fast disappearing in our cities. Anjali gave up a career ( she’s a qualified doctor) to raise a family ( two kids). She chose to become a full time homemaker when her generation of educated women the world over were forging ahead aggressively and shattering glass ceilings at the work place. She stayed out of the limelight when other wives ( Posh Beckham there, Sangeeta Bijlani here) of star sportsmen were busy flaunting their privileged status ."<br /><br />Thats what this article preaches, to be a good Indian woman you must put yourself last. It's not the fact that Anjali made that choice it's just that she should not be held up as a paragon of virtue for making that choice and other women should not be discouraged from being independant and empowered.PassionFruit Martinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14853073689414541483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-59102464708673545832009-12-03T12:22:19.255+05:302009-12-03T12:22:19.255+05:30The Perfect Wife, who has understood her position ...The Perfect Wife, who has understood her position in marriage (secondary) and placed her own personal priorities on a back burner.

If you could honestly read that and not find it offensive you come off as chauvinistic wether you intended it or not and people WILL assume that you are being anti-feminist.<br />The people here are not mentioning their lives abroad as a prestige issue, only to illustrate the HUGE difference in women empowerment between India and the west.<br />Wether you like it or not, women abuse in India, issues like dowry deaths and female feoticde are HUGE<br />Women empowerment in the west is incomparable to the position of women in patriarchials ocities like India and that is a sad fact.

Why?<br /><br />Why is a woman denying herself a little enjoyment after so much sacrifice good? Why is it good if she doesn't drink wine (by the way you do NOT have to get drunk, you can just drink scoially)? Why is good if she doesnt accompany her husband, is her place only in the kitchen and bedroom? Why is good if she wears dowdy clothes? <br /><br />Is the fact that she is woman reason enough to deny her all pleasure, rights and identity? Isn't she a human being as well? <br /><br />As an Indian man living in America, Im shocked and ashamed at the attitude my fellow countrymen back home have. Growing up in an egalitarian, equal and devoloped society where I've been thought that REAL men respect women, this really makes me mad<br /><br />If you actually find it pleasurable/ admirable that this woman lives such a drab, self sacrificing existence, I find that very disturbing.

Either Anjali stays home or works, we should neither glorify her or criticize her for that choice. I am not endorsing that either, what appeals to me is the abstinence. <br />We the common people have always loved simplicity. Because that's what we relate to. And I would want to praise a person who doesnt lose her head over all the hype and stick to her roots. <br /><br />If you are telling me that it is a person's choice that she can splurge or party or appear in gossip magazines every now and then, be on the cover of vogue with minimal clothes and make it a point to accompany her husband on his international tours, hang out at page 3 parties and get wasted with all the wine I get that. I completely do, its her choice. But if you tell me that I should not praise someone who can do all this but doesn't just because its her choice, I am sorry I would definitely be biased on that one.Ketaki...https://www.blogger.com/profile/00654399154746779431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-1816852715286240722009-12-03T02:24:25.674+05:302009-12-03T02:24:25.674+05:30Ketaki, In response to your question, "I want...Ketaki, In response to your question, "I want to know since when has prioritizing family over career become spineless? How many of us have mothers who could have worked but didn’t to take care of us?"<br /><br />My response: There is nothing wrong in "wanting" to quit your job because you want to take care of the family. The key word being what do "you" "want". If Anjali chose to remain at home, it is her prerogative. If she chooses to remain low-key, again, it is her wish. But that does not mean that everyone else who is out there doing couple commercials etc (as quoted by Ms. De) are any less dignified. Its all about choices.<br /><br />Bottom line, respect each and every individual for the choices they make (exactly like you said...a working mom is as much respected as a home-maker). Don't criticize them just because they socialize and put them on a pedestal when they don't. This, by no means is a "sukhi parivar".Madhuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09742930370657731818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-18807107532003344502009-12-03T02:10:52.881+05:302009-12-03T02:10:52.881+05:30To Noor,

It is like being married is the be all and end all of a woman.<br /><br />This disgusts young, single and ambitious women like myself. There is no point trying to change these age old attitudes which have stemmed from centuries of male dominance. <br /><br />Shobhaa De certainly doesn't relate with the average Indian working class woman - she has never had to work in order to support her many kids, she caught hold of a rich sugar daddy and now does whatever she pleases. <br /><br />Shobhaa's article is a slap in the face of the modern, Indian working woman - who ALSO, mind you takes care of her husband and kids. She is off flying to Australia or wherever on a regular basis, what does she know about the strong, hardworking Bharati Mahila?<br /><br />Like you said - WHAT is so great about keeping a low profile? Is that what makes a woman great? being silent? <br /><br />Why not cover her in a burqa, curtail her freedom of speech and complete the entire picture Ms. De? I'm sure praising the Taliban's treatment of women is going to be the next topic of your blog.<br /><br />In the west, women have opportunities like nowhere in the eastern world - like it or not. Having lived in both places, I can tell you that a woman has rights, privileges and support to easily live a single, secure and independent life, if she pleases - How many can claim that this is easily possible in India? <br /><br />Confused people like Ms. De will make sure that women in India remained suppressed within marriage forever. <br /><br />I am not demeaning non-working , stay at home mothers - I am just saying that that is by no means the IDEAL, that is by no means what our daughters should strive for. If you think a woman's place is in the home and the kitchen, then we have a long,long way to go. Has feminism achieved nothing with you people? Is women's lib dead?<br /><br />My mom raised me alone, had a demanding job, and today I am successful by every stretch of imagination - getting my Ph.D while in my late twenties. She serves as a great example to me, that a woman's identity and self worth are very important and are not to be determined by men only. <br /><br />Ms. De - Why dont you follow Anjali Tendulkar into oblivion and keep a low profile if you think that is so remarkable and right? At least the world wont be subject to this regressive anti-female bullshit. <br /><br />I am so harrowed by all these people supporting this post - it makes me want to personally strangle every one of them and shake them to their senses and bring them back to 2010. <br /><br />Jai Hind!

After reading your blog and after reading...Dear De,<br />After reading your blog and after reading the comments on it I have again realized how something written can be perceived in different ways. When I read the post, I didn’t found it to be demeaning in any way. I never thought you meant that a woman being submissive is an ideal woman. What I learnt was it is possible to be rich and famous and yet live a simple life. To live like an insignificant person when you can actually be one of those page 3 people. In today’s time when people are so hungry for popularity and publicity that they would enroll themselves in all kinds of television shows, how many people have an opportunity to be famous or a “celebrity” and they yet throw it away to live a normal life? I would say very few. And that for me is praiseworthy.<br />For the people who have commented, I want to know since when has prioritizing family over career become spineless? How many of us have mothers who could have worked but didn’t to take care of us? I guess more than 85% do. I don’t think it is any less praise worthy than having a career. In fact the people who are saying that raising a family is not a big deal are undermining the efforts of millions of housewives in India who manage the house and raise a decent family. I do not respect my mother less just because she gave up her job to raise me and my siblings. <br />I am a working woman myself if not a mother and I would most probably be working when I have children too, but I will never look down upon my fellow sisters who chose stay home instead.<br />Celebrating Anjali Tendulkar and Sudha Murthy is celebrating all the mothers and housewives in India and for that reason I would join the fan club Ms. De.Ketaki...https://www.blogger.com/profile/00654399154746779431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-13327336886372094672009-12-03T01:09:51.716+05:302009-12-03T01:09:51.716+05:30Arrey Noor....leave it yaar, why are you taking so...Arrey Noor....leave it yaar, why are you taking so much tension? To tell you in Indian slang....<br /><br />I am reminded of one of my favorite movies, 13 going on 30. In that Julia Roberts creates a magazine ad based on the real life characters whom you an me can associate with. People like our sisters, our class mates etc whom we can relate to. That's where the real inspiration is! <br />Who is Ms. Anjali to us? Who and what do Kareena Kapoor or Kajol to us? Literally no one! Then there is no point in glorifying them. <br /><br />Ms. De cannot relate to us. When I say us, I mean people who are not super rich or super famous. Don't stress, just take it all as it comes. <br />And coming to things like "wife's honor is in the shadow of husband" and likewise talk, I choose not to waste my time even in commenting about them.Madhuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09742930370657731818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-19735414866568411782009-12-03T00:55:36.097+05:302009-12-03T00:55:36.097+05:30CMpershad you chauvinistic moron: it's "b...CMpershad you chauvinistic moron: it's "behind every great man is a great woman" not your grammatically incorrect gibberish and certainly not “behind every great man is a spineless self sacrificing idiot”.<br /><br />In any case, you morons need to move into the twenty first century, it’s sad that you are still clinging to chauvinistic western clichés that the west has discarded several decades ago for the inequality and political incorrectness in them<br /><br />In case you want me to dumb it down for you: that 'saying' was used in the west many, many years ago. Now it’s considered outdated, un-evolved and chauvinistic by the world at largePassionFruit Martinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14853073689414541483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-44865124776766228162009-12-03T00:52:51.191+05:302009-12-03T00:52:51.191+05:30yes of course Mukesh, its what everyone needs: OFC...yes of course Mukesh, its what everyone needs: OFCOURSE every man needs a woman who will give up her life and career to be devoted to him right? Ever thought about what a woman needs? or are woman not allowed to have needs in your boorish, backward, uncivilized world? <br />If it is her choice and if no one should be annoyed about it then no one should be praising it and holding it up as a role model either<br /><br />Please, we live in the twenty first century not the first century. Almost everywhere in the world (except India where good housewives are still the norm) women are expceted to have careers, lives, rights and opinions. <br /><br />For example, Kate Middleton in the UK was widely criticized for not being serious about her career. But that's the first wolrd. India's is a patriarchal third world country<br /><br />45% of Indian women under 25 were married before they were 18 and millions of female fetuses are aborted every year all across the country, so obvious feminism and evolved ideas like equality are a LONG way off here. This country NEEDS women empowerment, stop praising spineless women, wake up smell the coffee and evolve, just a little bit, this is the 21st centuryPassionFruit Martinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14853073689414541483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-47460281389342375162009-12-03T00:52:02.793+05:302009-12-03T00:52:02.793+05:30This comment has been removed by the author.PassionFruit Martinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14853073689414541483noreply@blogger.com
