TitleRepresent of ModernAmericanFamily : Women Power!

 


Title:::::: Represent of  modern American family : Women Power!


         On my daughter’s mobile screen the image of goddess Durga with her children and pets are saved. One day her colleague who sits beside her, asked curiously, "Who is this lady with ten hands, holding a long spear targeted at a muscle-man with  huge moustache?" asked her colleague.

“This is the goddess of our biggest festival in West Bengal. The goddess comes yearly, once, for only five days in the Autumn, in her Mother’s house, with all her children and pets.

“Why does she have ten hands, with weapons in each hand like a terrorist?"

My daughter jokingly replied,  'Perhaps to protect and control the two beautiful   young daughters and two young boys. She comes alone from Kailas from the Himalayas, struggling and killing demons and overcoming all obstacles  with courage and bravery. 
Actually, she is the symbol of “woman-power’. She has to manage the land and family both!

“Is she single or widow?" asked her friend.           
  "No,No! Neither”--my daughter laughed.

"Then, who is her husband?"

"Lord Shiva" .             
"What does he do?"

“Nothing! He has no responsibility for the family"

‘He takes Ganja (marijuana) with his pals, dances, and roams the whole day half-naked with a snake around his neck."
  "Aww!" her friend thoughtfully murmured, 
 "That sounds very similar to modern- day  marital relationships !”
