Divine Divas of Blogsville - Curtain Raiser
Eight hours of excruciating pain are finally over. Yes, yes the exam was indeed eight hours long and covered almost every “logy” you could think of - histology, periodontology, embryology, pathology, pharmacology blah blah blah blah…at this point I just want to forget it all - atleast till the time I hear if I passed or failed! The first part was considerably easier than the second one, but then everyone felt the same so maybe we will all pass! Lets see kya hota hai.
Lets get to bigger and better things at hand! Let me rewind a few weeks, when I announced the Divine Divas of Blogsville. So what is it?
The idea for Divine Divas of Blogsville sprung up on International Women’s Day when I read numerous posts about women, the essence of being a woman, and just how different this world would be if there were no women. I emailed most of the ladies I know in blogsville and asked them a series of questions and I have received several replies. Several remain. I also emailed the gentlemen in blogsville asking them to write a few words about the lovely ladies they know. Mind you, these are the people I know. So I might have missed many wonderful women out there and by no means are they any less special. The idea is to highlight the different aspects of a woman, the different roles she can assume, and how each and every one has something different to offer. After reading the replies that I received, I must say I was pretty surprised at how applaudable each and every one is!
Sushmita Sen was asked one final question before she was crowned Miss Universe about 12 years ago: “What is the essence of a woman?” I set out to seek the answer myself. It is easy to answer but so hard to fathom. The essence of a woman lies in her versatility. Her power to lead, her strength to love unconditionally, her compassion, her stylish makeovers, her traditional dresses, her Wall Street jobs, her household chores, her irrational emotions, her extremely logical outlook on life, and so much more - all of these are the essence of a woman. Take a look around at the women you know, each one has her own little place representing one or more of these things.
I quote Shirley Chislom here - “The emotional, sexual, and psychological stereotyping of females begins when the doctor says, ‘It’s a girl’.” I am sure we all know very well what she means. I have no intention of preaching equality or being overtly feminist. I merely want to present to you a few very special women about who they are in their own words. These women have atleast one distinct quality that sets them apart from the rest. The goal is to discuss women, what womanhood means to them, and what it means to you gentlemen out there. Just a fun little event! We have a little quiz too. I will be asking one question at the end of each post and the person to get most questions correct will get a special prize. Some questions might pertain to one of you - so you will definitely know the answer. Don’t worry, you get free points 
Lets start off with our little curtain raiser about what you will hear from these women, and let me start it off.
Most of you know me as the girl from Utterances, and I go by Kaush. Whats in a name, they say? A lot, I know! I have been often mistaken to be a guy, especially in emails, online conversations; many a times I have gone to meetings, and have had honest queries as to why I am not a guy? I laugh it off, and generally don’t mind it. Supposedly, its more of a masculine name, but the female doctor at the hospital I was born at had the same name. So here I am.
A 20-something, I have been more of a rebel in most decisions I have made. I used to not understand why the guys in our society in Ahmedabad would play outside in the mud, while us girls stayed at home in the evenings playing “ghar ghar” with our barbie dolls. I love my dolls, but I also wanted to roll in the mud. There is one distinct event that I remember from that part of my childhood. I have no idea how old I was, but it was one of those evenings and I really wanted to play hop-skotch with the guys in the mud - most of whom are married now and probably dont even remember getting mad at me. So I went, and this guy said “chokrio thi naa rami shakaay” (girls cannot play). I screamed why not! One of the notorious guys said, “we eat mud, only if you eat mud.” Not to be left out, I stomped across to the play are where there was a bit of sand, took a little and put it in my mouth and chomped it off - smirking, showing them I wanted to play too. As luck would have it, my mom was just coming home from work and saw what her precious little angel (yea right) had done. She stormed towards me, shook all the bones within me, and slapped me hard! I was not supposed to eat mud. Gladly, she never said I was not supposed to play with guys. I did from then on. I had done it - my first rebellion. Just a random memory from childhood.
Spoiled rotten by my dad, for most of my childhood I got everything I ever wanted without even asking. I was probably the one where my parents got most training in child care. But things became hard for the family during my mid teen years. I grew up pretty fast in those years, and learnt a lot. Most people I know tell me I act too old for my age, but maybe its going through those hard times that taught me a lot. Moving to America taught me even more, so much that this blog would run out of space. I have been doing taxes for my family since then. Never was I reminded that I was girl, or I wasnt told to do something just because I was a girl. In fact, I was asked to do everything that traditionally a guy would do. I would whine but one day dad said, “thats coz you are not our daughter, you are our son.” I was elated. I did not know if I wanted to be happy because I was placed on the same high pedestal that sons are placed on in our society, where we are not just a transitory member of the family. Or, should I be ashamed that I hadn’t been that docile daughter that I should have been? I even asked, “why, a girl cant do the same things?”
Here is my query for the day, why do we usually stereo type certain roles to certain genders? Sure, thats normal. But when a guy cries we say ” you are such a girl” or when a girl is rebellious, she is a tomboy. So, aren’t guys allowed to have their emotions break free? or are girls not supposed to be outspoken, and confident? Its hard to run away from it, and its the way society is in general.
Here are two comments from three very different people, who know me in three very different ways (gemini hoon - gotta have twin personalities naa). I did not ask for it, but they were kind enough to boost my ego a little with their wonderful words.
Deepak: “one of my bestest friends in blogsville, fun loving and share the most comfy friendship - no hangups, no uptight behavior, casual…and can share any and every silly or profound joke or thought!” (you are da best DJ - and yes, I have put up with many such jokes! Sigh)
Ricky: ” How could I miss you…LOL. You are one of my first friends in the blog-world. You were also my first gujju friend (like ever). You are very passionate about your work which is always a good thing. Your work with NGOs in India is very inspirational. You are very out-going, fun-loving and geniune girl. You have a lot to look forward in life. You are a good friend.” (thanks ricky - atleast now your interest in gujju gals has gone up)
Vicky: ab aapke bare mein kya kahein. hehe.
good friend who is now gods knows where and god knows doing what.
amazing love story. 
(yea right Vicky - you know a lot about me! )
So ladies, brace yourselves - there is a lot of praise coming your way

If you have not received an email about this and would lik e one, email me and I will send you one. Slowly but surely
hi kaush, and I am first.
hi kaush, and I am first.
oh am jsu tbeaten.. me second
Silver mera…
now that I have declared that twice so that no one can beat me for the top spot let me tell you that this is a fantastic start. great idea and great execution.
abt the eggjams, you will definately pass and the great US will give you permission to work on its citizen’s dentures so don’t worry. btw I prefer India, no certification needed, baap hakim toh beta bhi dukaan laga let hai.
to add my bit about you, “I agree with everything DJ, ricky and Dr. has to say but my impression of you is that you have all the qualities to be a perfect friend and I am happy to have known you.”
Haanji Priyangini Gold is yours twice over.. so 22k ni jagyaae 44k gold theek hai!
Chandu Claim your silver! and read too
mehak Share karo naa silver chanduji ke saath..since both of you have the same time stamp!
I read & then started commenting.. phir office mein kuch kaam. so commenting shlowly
Priyangini thankyou soo much! I hope the event unfolds as I envisioned it
and i cannot wait to get licensed…praarthna karo pass thai jau coz that second part was harrrd..
and thanks sooooooo much for the wonderful words
I am on cloud nine koi niche utaaro and it is such a great compliment! and priji, the pleasure of being your friendship is ALL mine! all mine! Thanks again and do share your thoughts about word of the day 
Would love to hear your thoughts.
Chandu No problem! Abhi toh time hai before the next part
lalalalala….Chandu u take bronze…Silver toh mera
Mehak I shall let you guys solve that outside court, agar masla solve naa ho toh we willl fix a courtdate!
theek hai? and psssssttt we shall convict chandu 
arre chokri u’ll pass the eggjam…chinta nakko..
acha now DDoB…what a lovely intro post…yeah even i dont understand this gender game…
yday had a discussion with taran as to why girls have to visit their in-laws place first, stay there for a longer period than their parents place…this might be a menial thing for some…
In this Kalyug with both husband and wife work…then why is it expected that the wife comes back home after a hectic day and prepares dinner(including 2 dishes n a sweetdish once in a while)…but thankfully taran helps “alot” in the kitchen…
Arre Mehakaapke moo main ghee shakkar ..:D I am just nervous I guess.
Gender roles have always been there - and agreed that when both are working, the wife comes home and does the housework. I have noticed here in the US its the same most of the time, but in a lot of households the guys do help in the kitchen. Agar ladki khaana pakati hai toh the guy will do the dishes. Good Taranji helps you a lot! Good good…he also does it because he loves you a lot
Waise, its up to women to change that. women are naturally of a giving nature, which is not bad. But sometimes it gets to the point that when we are too tired to do things, we still do it because we feel guilty when we dont do things we are traditionally taught to do for the family. Fortunately, things are changing and guys are helping out more, but it is largely up to women to not let guys run over them, especially those women who are entangled in lives with dominating men.
Hey Kaush…good to read the first of the DDoB series. Nice name by the way. But before I go further into that…8hrs long exam!!! Yowie!! How do u manage to stay awake? I hope they went well and u come out with flying colors!
Very nicely written post…and good to read a bit about you. You have always given me the impression of a strong girl and I admire you for that and for the work u do.
Looking forward to knowing more of our Divine Divas
yeah Women are of a giving nature…lekin we have to set the limits of giving yaar…and Kaush I have seen cases of educated ppl who dominate and treat their wifes like a pinch of dust…It time we raise our voices and viewpoints.
oye 8 hours long eggjam…too much…bade naainsaafi hai
hi Colors Great to see you here again!!! 8 hours long exam hi thi..kya karen! and honestly, I actually dozed off during the second part after a heavy lunch (free tha toh had to eat a lot) but woke up and finished it again! haha. And thanks for the kind words - dont know what to say, really appreciate them. And more divine divas coming for sure!Where is your reply??? tsk tsk! reply karoji jaldi jaldi.
“20+something” -wow nice way to hide ahme ahem
oh am waiting for next post. the idea rocks!another gem 4m d creative mind of kaush.the quote is cool. “stereotyping” - hmm we do it lot, in many things in many ways.can’t get it off soon. but on +ve side things are changing fast..
Mehak Yes, thats the point, we have to set limits. We feel guilty when we do, so we need to break free of that and set limits! and sahi hai..educated men dominate and worse, educated women put up with this domineering nature. Slow changes can be made by being more confident about ourselves and by soliciting help from our family members nad teaching our kids to treat everyone the same
and yes ma’am 8 hours lonG! Badi naainsaadi hai such..I am going to write the Ummrican dental associationn..telling them all about this nightmare! SIgh
geee mehak.. silver tho mera
u missed it by a nano second, guess u r stuck in the bang traffic & missd it 
Chandu haha yes yes..nice way to hide age! Trust me, most people think I am older than I actually am, so better keep it secret
lest they die of a myocardial infarction 
:P and thanks for liking the idea!! 
yes we do a lot of sterotyping and we are all guilty of it…we have to be the change we want to see like MK Gandhi once said..so lets start with ourselves and yes things are changing fast! Hope to see you here for all the posts!

Anz waah aap finally yahaan aaye! good you kept it in for soo long

Redji Hello! Great to see you! I had sent you an email also. Thanks for liking the post..hope aap reply karo.
Ricky tsk tsk! Yes it was Tuesday night! Thanks for the wishes… I know they never go to waste
I know I know how my name is. But I am glad..atleast its different! and LOL..yea yea..thats why! I remember when you ONLY had girls on your list!
Damn!! I was of the impression that your exam is on Wednesday and so I dozed off for a nap…zzzzzz
You will pass because my wishes never go waste…;-)
About your name Kaush, well you can just google your name and 90% of pictures that come out are male. I think that was one of the reasons for adding you a little late on my list…LOL.
As far as your question about stereotyping goes…well I think its not a bad thing to do. Personally, I don’t like girls who imitate men to become like them. Why would I want to marry a girl who acts like a man? I think both genders have different virtues and they should be proud of it not ashamed.
Also, why do girls want to become equal to men when men are lower in order than women. It’s like putting yourself down.
If girls are more emotional then men so they should be proud of it because its something men don’t have that they have and belive me emotions will always rank higher than body strength anytime. Emotions can break a person much easily than any other thing. Also, you don’t need body-strength to fall in love (ok maybe if you are John Abraham to show off…lol).
As far as outspokeness and confidence is concerened, these are not gender-differentiating-characterstics but have been imposed on girls by society to keep false-male-supremacy alive. This is not something people are born with but are ingrained in people’s mind with time while emotional part I belive is very genetical.
sterotyping toh rahega, its been happening since ages. basically this has come out of the division of labour that started between men and women in the stone age due to the physical difference in men and women and the fact that since there was no contraceptives women would churn out babies faster than local trains. so it was by mutual understanding decided that women will manage the house coz its not possible to hunt with a huge tummy and men will hunt because women could’nt.
On this simple concept over the years various layers of practices were added to it resulting into, “Oh God, how can a girl stay alone in Mumbai?” or, “You must learn how to cook, what will you do when you go to sasural.” or, “What are you crying like a girl?” or, “You want to learn kathak, are you crazy, men don’t dance.” These are layers and layers of conditioning and the real crux of the matter is lost somewhere in the depths of culture. These layers are coming off but the process is excutiatingly slow and painful for everyone. It will take time and patience. As for now, I think every family/ couple has to figure out their own equations. Sadly, these practices have hurt both genders and as it is proved by statistics women, more than men so naturally women will face more opposition when they initiate this change but education can change this, good learning, self-awareness and self-respect.
Thats all from me, this is wierd, now-a-days my writing is becoming longer and longer.
Ricky Thats exactly my point, ke its not genetic. Its all ingrained. Its how we are brought up. See, thats the thing. Women come across as trying to be equal to men when they say, there are disparities between the two genders. Its not really true. Sure, women are proud of their emotions, but the thing is men who show the same emotions are said “such a girl” not in a good way like “wow, what a guy!” but rather disdainfully. So women can only be proud of their qualities when they are also appreciated by the society - including other women. And I never said women need to be as equal as men, coz I agree with your statement andthats exactly what I am trying to present with DDoB. The versatility of a woman. The true essence of a woman. The true characteristics that are distinct and yet so similar to men.
Well I dont believe that Women are more emotional than Men…its just that some Men Dare to show their emotions and cry and be called a girl…others hide n cry chup chup ke…
btw emotions matlab sirf roona nahin….as u all might judge from moi comment.
Ok, one more thing. Can you all very patriotic-Gujju-people keep Gujju out of this thing? We are also participating and would love to know what each and everyone is writing/saying. Half the time I skip the comment when Gujju part starts.
I know I am taking a panga but woh punjabi guy he kya jo panga na le **wink wink**
Priyangini Couldnt agree with you more. and the more writing, the better! And the layers are coming off..but like you said..slowly….and thats the thing..starting in our own homes, our own selves. By educating ourselves and helping others take these layers off their lives. Not gonna happen in our lifetime..but some day utopia can be achieved ! who knows!
Mehak good point Mehak! emotions are not just crying and yes…guys do not show them. So thats the conditioning..that guys are not supposed to show their emotions….point hai!
Ricky oye! where did gujju come from in the middle? sab angrezi main toh baatein kar rahe the…and i am to very patriotic gujju person….and now that you mention..i shall TRY hard to NOT keep gujju out! panga mat liyo…warna ek din main gujju sikhni padegi..ane pango lidho toh bhaangi naakhu, todi naakhu, bhukho kari naakhu!
Now coming to the bit on you…fortunately or unfortunately i know you more than just “the girl from Utterances” (ok ok its fortunately only dont give me those glares
) A rebel i know you are…nothing new about it 
You are one of my bestest blog friends, the one in whom i confided without thinking twice. Its going to be around a year since we started interacting with each other…be it blogs or the first VBM organized by you n Princess (though it seems nowhere close to just a year it seems like a long time since i know…forever to be precise (see ive been bearing you for so long sigh!!!)) I know she would be reading this n would hvae tears in her eyes. Thats our Kaushie…emotional, sweet, senti, completely mental dental doc (wanted to rhyme it, you see) n an awesome doc in the making…Wish you the best now n forever and may God grant you whatever you want n whatever u desire always which you truly deserve…with loads of happiness, smiles and me of course (you too have to bear me you see >:)) >:D
@ Mehak - Abey Oye, When I will come to Bangalore you will make me cook Alu ka Paratha kya? I thought you all will do my seva. I won’t cook anything there. You have to cook everything for me. Aakhir ladka hoon main …Oops not a good post to say this…he he. Kidding!!
Stereotyping par thoughts sometime else im blogging from work…but then couldnt control commenting too
Anzie ai ki ve? inni changi galla kar di? mere kol bolne ke liye kuch hai vi nai! okay enough punjabi..dont know anymore. Yes yes unfortunately you know me! and haan sahi kaha..tears in my eyes but from my contact lens hurting re! hahaha…chal no mazaak..all jokes aside..thanks so much! i told you..itni saari taarif hazam nahi hoti…abhi mujhe asmaan se niche utaaro.. I hope i can only remotely live up to what you have said! thanks for the wishes..and i need em, especially if i have to bear you..like i am doing on YM now hahhaa..>:D
LOL….tu nahi sudharne waali kabhi, n thing about writing good stuff for you…you ARE the best kaushie! THE BEST!!! n yes u need loads of wishes to bear me….about the contacts start wearing chashmas girl

109 comments! Wah Kaush!! What a great start to the Ddob.
I am impressed!!!
Well it was a great start. I don’t know why we put specific roles to certain genders…i was totally like you and agree that we are all equal. We should do what we like to do..and it has nothing to do with if you are a boy or a girl. Well written post and a great start!!!
Ohh and I know that the exam went well — you don’t worry at all.
hey Kaush, i thought 111 would look nice on the comment box so just popped in to say hi and see how the party is going. waiting for the next post.
111 is considered unlucky Priyangini. Let me change it to 112.
DEEPAK — yaha! You wouldnt be late if you spent your last few days of blogfreedom online! aur sharminda kyu karte ho….aditya chopra and me?!?! no comparisn..I am WAYYYYYYYyy above that
hehehehe 
and you are very welcome about the quote - aapko thankyou for such wonderful words (do not expect any payments whatsoever) - actually that reminds me..email me!
Poonam thanks lady! I am elated by the response and by so many comments:) highest since I moved to blogger. you too totally like me? haha..are we similar or what?! just not similar on the exam thing..haha
do keep checking ..many more divas to come 
Priyangini- thanks lady! I actually saw what 111 looked like
thankyyou ji
Ricky had no idea 111 was supposed to be unlucky. I thought teen 3s were supposed to be unlucky only
EVERYONE Do email your answers to the quiz! Dont forget!
Was Dreaming or what? Your exam is over and you already came up with this curtain riser post.
Don’t worry. You will pass the exam and that’s with all “A” you are genius.
It’s really nice to see the first series of the DDoB
. And it’s really great idea. It was late but it’s never late for doing good things.
And you have proved that you can do what boys can do. That’s really really so sweet and innocence revel.
I’ve not interact you much but whatever we have done through chat, mails and from your posts, I found you a very warm, genius, caring, fun loving & strong girl. I learnt a lot from you and you really have quality to inspire anyone and I’m inspired by you in many ways…..
.
I’ve sent my answer. I think my answer is CORRECT :d. Check it out
.
You all people WERE shouting 111 and 112. See here I made 120….. no yaar I didn’t make it by applying the rules of 420 but 120 only
.
Let’s go one more for the success of the Series of Divine Divas
. Cheers galz 
SilkyMoon Yes, yes. I had to bring it as soon as I finished my exams as I said right? Anyways, why is it late? late after womens day? if that is so..then toh no worries..because all days should be womens day! not just one day. However, it was the day that inspired me to do this. Thanks for so many compliments about it. I am not sure if I deserve it. and thanks for the 120 and 121
,more divine divas to come. I have not received your reply yet!!!
SilkyMoon I got your reply to the quiz, yes. Sahi hai ya galat, you will know later
u actually posted my comment ? ( mock surprise )
and btw…aint u supposed to send a cordial offline when u start an event like this ?
and also..ur comment board took eternity to load…
and by the time it did…i realized that u had eaten mud…lol…i cant believe that guys tricked u into that…
Stereotype - why do we do it ?
isnt the ans. so very simple - convinience…
imagine u had 50 brands of shampoo which had not been “categorized” into - for dull hair, shiny hair, normal hair, colored hair, dandruff, oily hair, no hair…lol..
in one word….convinience..thats why we all do it.
hellow.. when is the next post coming up. BTW can we resend entries with more & more info!? us keliye deadline ?
mailed you..!!
a few things i noticed.. not that i disagree.. but..
..and just how different this world would be if there were no women.
wouldnt it be equally different if there were no men either..??
you mention the incident with ur father.. what really is that elated you..?? being crowned the title of being a son.. i mean what is it with women wanting to equate man..??
agree that the patriarchial system in india is the worst of all evils.. but women actually aspire to find an equal ground to men..?? aint that like equally worse.. whereas we know very well that the strength of woman in handling things.. CAN NOT be matched by a man..
this might look like a sequence of incoherent htoughts.. but surely deserves a lot of thinking by the women themselves..
THINK BIG..!!
u can and u already do.. rule the men..!!
neway.., coming back to the post.. tis a nice idea.. how many more questions..?? and whats the prize..??
OMGosh!! Obviously I am very late…. came here to tell you that I have replied to your email and here I see the curtain raiser!
Excellent start Kaushie…
and praises… *aaah!* Love’em!!
And I came in touch with you from that first VBM that you organised - andI’m glad that I did make it to it, even though I didnt know you at all at the time….. has been fabulous knowing such an awesome person like you.
Stay the same Girlfriend!!! *muaaahhh* xo
Oh Golly, me is soooooo late!
but the idea is fab kaushie…. looking forwrd to reading all the posts!

hi kaush, ab aage bhi toh badho? agla kaun???
arre…. kab tak curtain rasier chalega?
finally DDOB is here , was looking foward to it . Cant wait to know more about the amazing ladies in the blogsville . I want to read how they described them selves .Great goin kaush . waiting for the next part .
Vicky _ I did send you one… shayad mila nahi?
Clueless Arre not about being equal was what elated me. But more about recognizing it in the same way guys are recognized. I guess is is synonymous with asking for equality but certain things just dont happen for girls and vice versa. i used to get annoyed when remarks like youa re girl you cnat do that would attack me..but sure being myself was atleaazst being appreciated by mmmy parents you know? i dont know if i am making much sense?
and ya true..it would be equally different if there were no men..thats true! Some women do aspire to be on the same ground as men..but I think what they most want is to be recognized for what they can actually do - if that makes sense. women themselves confuse it and label it equality.
And your comments are great… do keep em coming. will give us all something to think about.
The prize has not been disclosed yet, coz it hasnt been decided yet. Will do so soon - will most probably be a multiple choice prize.
Nupur sharminda mat karoji….all of you are hte ones that bring out thebest in me
thanks so much lady!
Anks should be a whole lot of fun!
