A long Absence

How do you justify absence??As the lack of oppurtunity or the lack of will? I do not know. Probably some day I will find out. When I started this blog I did not want anybody to stop by. I wanted just myself to probably have a place to spurt out, a place to write and think and read years later and think again.But , after the initial few surges something went amiss. I had the time, the health and even thoughts that I wanted to scribble, but what lacked was probably the coherence of ideas and expressions that can be bared in (afterall) a public place.What did I do for the last 2 months. I fought with TB, and parents, and the beloved and tried my best not to fight in office. But today something just sparked off.
I was asked to write an article on fashion.Not quite a fashionista myself this was a difficult task.But then I did it.For the uninitiated , I am someone for whom fashion could be maximum defined by a tee with a weird slogan, but then I still tried. Wrote a piece about the fashion for the plus sized women .In a world struggling to reach a size zero yet not going anywhere I felt this would be apt and consequestial. However my friends did not think very highly of the result. They thought it was inappropriate for office environment.Now who decides that??If bustline is a bad word and "curves" generate a raised eyebrow then why even bother to take training sessions to educate people about sexual harrasment at workplace.Shhhhhhhhhhh , "Sexual Harrasment" is a filthy word!!When will this world change?and when will India??and above all when will the people in my office???
If there is a norm about the appropriateness of words that can be used in the office environment , and mind you I am not talking about the infamous cuss words, then there is a problem with the thinking and not with the words.Why is fat a good word and "curvaceous" dirty?Because it gives you dirty thoughts?Go and show a doctor people ,if you can not help but think of "sex" when you hear anything about a women's body. And if the reason is you dont want to discuss the same or read about it in the office, then why pray tell me why should you have a problem with a girl who dresses like a gunny bag and come to office , and why does the fair woman always get the plum projects?I demand an answer people.
Beauty is always coveted, in man and woman, in the kitchen and the office desk....an attractive good looking and smart entity always gets the cherry on the cake.So what is the issue and telling the "Not so there" to rise up , take notice and groom a little better, and know what their assets and and problem areas are?If the sole purpose of my assests are to be stared at by the so called "Moral obligators" in office, then God help.
I am angry today, have bluttered stuff............, incoherent, inconsequential and random.
If the above post made no sense to you , then I was bang on target and if it did , lets be friends:)
