We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves

The feminine icon


Her indomitable steely spirit.

Her coy smile through jasmine decked tresses. Her porcelain, leany frame. Her victorious survival and refusal to succumb to martyrdom!

Isn’t her victory- a case in point just out of mythological text figrine of our motherland's epitomic feminine strength.

Her every move holds special appeal who can forget the flashing news on national T.V.a decade back. Hers gritty walk in her dilapidated lake home after the lash out of a devastating cyclone.
It was hard to accept a life in home arrest bereft of kin and even lacking the basic of life- the electricity.

Her faith or grit infusing speech of freedom as she had started-“it is not power that corrupts, but fear……

Now her every step exuberates, the unbending strength. That sets her apart from being a natural martyr to a victor- one time and every time while the world witnessed her handling the crisis of life.

Though her rapid journey from prisoner to parliamentarian calls for various challenges ahead yet it qualifies her for more inquisitive glances by the world.

Her biggest challenge is to deal the hostile lower house in parliament for her crucial cordialities with reformist Thein Sein.

She has to meet the expectations of improvised, isolated, poverty ridden citizens.
Tired of military misrule the citizens of Myannamar are viewing a miraculous cure of all their woes under her rule.

Converting people expectations in poor country like Myannamar is dare defying job. The challenge is bigger but unavoidable-it is addressing the hardships of common man life that entails provision of food, education and health-the three basics of dignified life.

But now, I realized it is not easy to erase or forget the news of- an indomitable spirit as it gets preserved in brain. Her perseverance to cause is hardest to ignore that is why she is- strongest in appeal.

So who can wait another women’s day to write about – Suu Kyi- she is simply alluring! A tribute to her feminine strength!
