Corn footlong and Happy IWD

A Happy International Women’s Day(IWD) to you all!!

A saying goes….”A women’s place in society marks the level of civilization of that society”

March 8th is celebrated across the globe as International Women’s Day.This day is a portrayal of the power of women in the modern world and their crucial role in the society.It is a day to recognize that we as women have made and continue to make a difference, it is a day to acknowledge what we women have done, are doing and can do.Do I sound like a staunch feminist?Well, I am a feminist and I am sure most of you share my feelings.

In Russia and some neighbouring countries this day is celebrated as a national holiday.All the ladies receive gifts,flowers,chocolates,kind wishes basically positive emotions are felt everywhere. The focus is on traditional chivalrous acts by men,including taking ladies out to dinner and doing the house chores.

Being in Russia right now I think I am also going to celebrate the same way and expect my hubby to do the same :P.

On this day let us all join hands to celebrate all the roles we play as being women and nurture ourselves and celebrate our achievements.

Cheers!!!
