Any resemblance  in the story to  anyone is not intentional,but if such  a feeling arises then they themselves are solely responsible for the same 😲😜
At times  you cannot help but speak out...

The fried fish TED talk by Rima Kallingal  was devoured by the flesh mongers who could not even understand what she was speaking about..WCC was at least able to  initiate a discussion of the male domination in Cinema...
We read, discuss,and then settle down as if these things are happening only in the film industry.What about other workplaces?
Read on.......
I enter into the 'LADIES' staffroom..(no doubt ,it's a co-education Kerala Govt. Institution)..it's all dark and gloomy..some souls look up at you,from their old plastic chairs as if you are an intruder into their privacy, their faces are clouded, their eyes full of fear of the unknown...no one offers me a seat, I introduce myself...I am so and so, come to join..... Some recognize my name, their attitude changes ,and ask me to make myself comfortable..yet I feel there is so much of negative energy accumilating in there.
I go to the Principal s office to give my joining report..there attached to it is the gents staffroom ,well lighted, push back chairs and all modern facilities,.Some are busy working at the computer,some reading newspapers...
I have got a stupid brain which secretes some hormones that warns me that things are not going to be right for me here.I try to get aquainted ,some who happily befriends (but I notice that they keep their voices low) the second category just gives me a look as if I am some alien from the outer world...
Confused over what to do,I walk to the system to get some updates,and  I get some looks that reads to something like what is this lady up to? In Mayalam it translates to പോലീസുകാർക്കെന്താ ഈ വീട്ടിൽ  കാര്യം?😉😉😉😋😉
Then the  realisation saga starts..😮😮
1.Except for some men, no one dares to visit the ladies staffroom as it is the cage of the downtrodden and the invalid....
2.The senior assistant (the senior most of the teachers who  assists  the Principal ) is  not actually the senior,but the senior of  The men, and the real senior is a  a very able lady who was robbed of her position.(The only defect I found in her was she was a lady!!!!!!!)This guy and  all the rest knew this fact ,but strange is the power of position,that you forget that the lies u perpetuated are lies ,and tend to believe that u are  the truth.. ചുരുക്കി പറഞ്ഞാൽ അധികാരം എന്നത് മത്ത് പിടിപ്പിക്കും എന്ന്...
He gets so intoxicated with  his self declared power that he is ready to bark at his colleagues at the slightest provocation...
3.The gents have the liberty to go out and enjoy a cup of tea,(with milk😀 mind you) and the ladies should be satisfied with the black that they  have to prepare themselves,if any such  emergencies for the same arises.( health concious folks, really concerned about the damsels)
4.The classes that they cannot attend due to the heavy responsibility in the office falls on the shoulder of the so-called nothing- to- do lady teachers,to the extend some are in class continuously for 5 to 6 hours...(don't teach if u are tired,just engage them!!!!!!)
Engaging 60 Young men and women is just the swipe of a magic wand🙅🙌 all u need to tell them is the story of the thirsty crow or play riddles...
5.The library which was functioning in full swing under a lady teacher was dismantled for reasons unknown...maybe it was not a necessity of the elites.....
6.All the public function's were manned by men... special care was taken  to  fill pamphlets printed with names of the masculine gender...(the name of the senior who was not at all the senior topping the list!!!!)
7.A programme on Woman empowerment was also conducted with all the chairs on the stage occupied by empowered men, Meanwhile the ladies were all draped in silk and serving teas and biscuits in the verandah (Heights of empowerment!!!..). The only woman who was lucky enough to get hold of the mike was the sub-collector,who happened to be the chief guest 😇😜
8.All the staff meetings were a ritual that turned  the women  dumb.The decisions taken before hand were just thrusted upon the poor souls
9.The potential of women were fully realized when they were given gaurd duties,sentinels in the corridors to catch any prospective lovers during their break time of 20 minutes
10.Any official visit was the soul prerogative of the men,and Women had no right to know the place or purpose of visit...

Hey ..I am not writing about an ancient by-gone era..but something that's happening somewhere even when u are reading this.
Women are restricted from voicing their opinions and it's become their  habit.....
Any good training results in habit formation...true?
 I am not superstitious...but at times experiences make u one...
Soon after joining there I had to undergo a surgery...
They might have cursed me
_for sitting in their chairs ,cross -legged, reading the newspaper
--for refusing their demands, not request, to engage  their classes
_ for volenteering to do the office work
_for daring to go out and enjoy a sip of coffee during the break...
_for voicing my opinions in the staff meeting s
_for barging into  and disturbing by creating ripples in the male only world .(I enjoyed doing it 😜😜😜😜 always naughty!!!!)
And above all
_for my loud voice and high -pitched laughter!!!!!!
And  what makes me feel even more important was none had the courage to enquire about my health  after I rejoined plus I was the only one  NOT INVITED to the Sent-off party held there..
I hope this will reach them and make them happy about their black magic powers which put me in my place for almost one month..(I, definitely,am a soul who wish to spread happiness)
I maybe labelled as a rebel,a feminist but The love, support , appreciation and recognition that I have got and still getting,and many like me Keep getting, from the rest of the places proves that there are many out there who knows the worth of Woman and respects them.
Tail piece:  I have  some of my best friends...both men and women.. from this very place...
