International Women’s Day is an occasion to celebrate women who are playing different roles in our lives. Women operate from the heart space whereas men basically are logic-based creatures. They complete and complement each other but sometimes when the symphony breaks they start competing with each other and that’s the beginning of the end.

Yesterday as I stood on the busy Shubert alley of New York. I noticed a couple engaged in strife, the wife was taking in a lot of verbal abuse and was visibly embarrassed. I could hear her apologize many times. I felt sorry for her and moved on. I wonder, what brings the loved ones to the brim of such a compromising situation?

We have to stop the unending battle of ego and trust in the virtues of love, forgiveness and compassion. A woman is more than a weakling, before others’ could believe this, she has to know it. She is a blend of strength and vulnerability which beautifies her even more. Assertiveness is a virtue for women to wear like a jewel. Trust me; it’s better than trying to fit in.

International Women’s Day is the right opportunity to make it happen. More than 100 countries celebrate the essence of womanhood on March 8. Send some inspiring greetings and words of encouragement to the woman who is special to you so that she can retreat from the state of being a victim and claim her special space in the world.

It’s time to thank her and let her know how special she is. It’s time to alleviate her troubles and give her the gift of honor she deserves.
