International Women's Day

A special thanks to the two women who define my very existence.
The mother and the wife.

It's amazing how easy it is to take them for granted, just because they don't mind.
Or even if they did, it doesn't matter since they will still continue to love us anyways.
It's funny how we know that we take them for granted, and yet don't do anything to change it.

But Men, being intelligent species, realized that sooner than later, it was inevitable that women would rebel. There was only so much that they would take, and once that limit was crossed, they would make life miserable for their men.

At this point, a genius among the male species spoke.

"How about setting aside one day in a year to appreciate the women of this world? That way they will also feel special, even if it's for only one day in a year".

Men being men, a few of them had apprehensions.

"That leaves us with only 364 days of bossing around in a year. Aren't you asking too much from us? Being magnanimous is one thing, but this is plain sacrifice"

The genius pacified the detractors again.

"Considering that there will be leap years, we will still have 365 days of domination once in 4 years. And if you want the bigger joys, you will have to be prepared for a few sacrifices, however tough it may be".

Finally, after a lot of convincing, all the men agreed to celebrate the women of the world on one day each year.
Today is that day.

Happy International Women's Day.
