Bridging the gap !

Bridges ! – what does this mean to the creature called human ? For our ancestors , it means taking their generation to next level of sophistication , for villagers living in isolation, it means their only way of integration.For leaders , it means development . For children , it means the possibility of high schooling. For Parents , it is a door of hope for exploring opportunities. For insane nature admirers , it is Peace ! Inner peace!

Let’s take a bridge view of the Gender gap index published by WEF , 2022 . In short , it is an indicator reflecting the  difference between women and men in social, political, intellectual, cultural, or economic attainments or attitudes. India ranks 135/146 countries .Let’s not dig deeper into the statistics.Though we are not obsessed with ranks indeed it’s a worrisome number.

For the factors to change we have to travel a long way in bridging the gap first in mindsets and then in reality . Do this mindset applies only to men? Not at all , for most of the women , it’s her own gender blocks the road before her . Sadly,in most of the times,she herself!

For a women living in two worlds,one surrounded by care,empathy, dignity, sacrifice and other bounded by bravery, intellect, assertiveness. Inorder to work in sync between these two worlds, she has to construct a bridge through these worlds.Ony then,her view of life would be scenic beautiful!

Bridges aren’t always meant to connect two ends! Instead to connect with one’s own kind!
