Wearing her leather jacket, she sneaked out and walked down the stairs. She fished for the keys in her pocket and routed out the socket in the bike.. The cold breeze sent a chill down her spine.. *click* the key fixed in the socket and the bike VROOOMMEEDDDD!!!!! The road was quiet, deserted and gloomy.. The chill gust pierced her body like a knife.. To get rid of that, she began her thought process.. *headlights off* Why does it happen to girls? Why cant I do what I want to do and pursue what I want *lights on* Girls have to be girly.. feminine.. meek.. touchy-feely.. and beautiful *lights off* YUK! She looked at her image on the side mirror.. and thought.. ‘Beauty and me.. are distant thoughts.. full of scars and spots.. forget it!!’ People don’t respect my ideas..*lights on * Women are respected for what they are and treated with dignity.. They are considered precious.. Life is all about loving and being loved.. and life is more beautiful when ‘she’ parts her life with her better half.. *lights off* But what about a life of her own? Her wants.. her goals.. her dreams?? *Lights on* A girl s life is complete when she sacrifices her little desires for her better half and be THE WOMAN behind the success of her better half *lights off* But she is not acknowledged for it.. Is she?? BAANNNGGGG!!! A bike hit her bike from the back.. two guys.. making faces.. grinning.. mocking .. their constant horns were earsplitting!!!! .. Her girly mind said ‘ Move away.. Ignore them.. don’t get yourself into trouble.. ‘ .. The heart said ‘ They are rogues.. why should you get scared of them.. Go blast them.. ‘ The headlight switch was a little loose.. it went *On* *Off* *On* *Off* *On* and finally it went *OFF* !!! She just looked at them.. red with rage.. her eyes burnt like fire.. and before she could utter a word.. those guys backed off... She turned back to the road.. with a little smile on her lips.. *LIGHTS ON*.. not the headlights.. but the big bright beautiful morning SUN.. it filled the entire city.. the roads.. the area and her little heart.. The morning SUN … the symbol of hope.. sign of a new beginning.. a new day.. a new life.. did brighten up her life.. Her heart began its counter arguments.. Having been a ‘girl’ .. what did you face.. the world is not going to respect you because you are sweet.. soft and nice.. Its going to crush your dreams .. whether you are the girly one or the stubborn one.. makes no difference to the world.. So, why make it easier for them.. Chins up.. Come on.. Be you.. Do what you want to do.. The happiness is boundless.. Loving and being loved by someone is wonderful.. But in the pretext of loving someone.. failing to love yourself is not fair… You are a wonderful gift to the world..slowly unwrapping.. You deserve the best.. So , please take the privilege of being the first one to love yourself completely.. and not bother about what others think.. Do things from your heart.. It may not be the best possible decision in your life.. but it will definitely be the most meaningful decision in your life.. Beaming as bright as the sun.. she walked into the railway station and waved at her dad.. Her dad waved back and said “ Arey you look beautiful today “ She blushed and replied “ Papa, I want to be a bike racer.. Yes, I ve made my decision” Her dad saw the twinkle in her eyes and hugged her in approval .. “Papa??” He said.. “Just pursue what your heart desires .. Am I Right? “ and he winked ..
Beauty is not just in the skin and face.. its in your heart.. When you live YOUR LIFE on your terms.. the way you want it.. the pleasure and glee that fills your heart is reflected on your face.. That’s the real beauty.. Look for that beauty in you.. Simply be who you are.. Nobody can do that better than you.. You are precious.. You are a gift.. Love yourself.. Celebrate yourself.. and *tada* here it is.. “THE BEAUTIFUL YOU “
This is not meant to offend any guy.. But you have to accpet the fact tat there are men like this.. It was written with them in mind.. Sorry if it had offended any of you.. And, the article is not against love or marriage.. Its just a reminder to everyone tat every individual has the right to make a mark for herself or himself in this big world of ours.. Nobody has the right to crush their dreams.. Right! :)

I have trying to get the right words to comment on this, i tried brilliant , awesome , splendid, wonderful and all other possible words that i could understand from other languages but i was not a bit satisfied to mention any one of them , cos nothing can define what i read.
