Maalai Poluthin Mayakathil

Following is an oldies, beautifully sung by Madam P.Susheela. I love the way it's lyric is narrated, very abstract but meaningful. The song describes about the feeling of a young widow who suffers from an uncertain future after the demise of her husband. Those days women were very much dependent on men. Most of them are devoted to serve their husband and so they weren't independent. Men were considered then as the sole bread-winner and protector of women. Those days people were unconvinced about women's ability in anything else other than home-making. That explains why a woman who lost her husband was seen with sympathy and the society had even seen her as a symbol of inauspiciousness. Today, women had moved out from the kitchen. We have women presidents who rule the country. We have women in the army whose gentle hands are proven good enough to hold the riffle. We have life-saving hands of the women doctors. Despite of these changes, I can't deny that they are still some group of people who are still looking down on women's ability. From my humble opinion, no man's ego is given the right to abuse a woman. We're living in the era of equality. The idea might seem new but the concept was there even in 'puranas'. Remember, there is no SIVAN, if there is no SAKTHI. That is the truth of nature.
