Cleopatra ruled Egypt, spoke nine languages, allied with Caesar, but still we extoll about her eyeliner.

Now, took care of the house, hustled to get to work, coded, rumbled through the Bangalore traffic back to a park to be with my toddler son, got asked — are you in HR? That too by a woman.

She asked me so because, incidentally, I was in a skirt, straight-cut but a bit flowery, to my defence, very small flowers they were. Office appropriate for sure. So, can I not be an engineer if I wear a skirt? I never spoke to her from then on for sure.

Girls who paints toe nails, who match footwear, bag with footwear and belt, girls who spent on jewelry and makeup, girls who are best dressed in a conference table, aren’t considered cerebral worthy.

Often, there is a rant by men, Girls like you may not know this, cannot do this, may not have thought of it.

So let me do it for you, let me explain to you or even do it for you.

Thanks but no thanks…

I understand this from a man; they are wired for it, but when women also join forces with it, things get worse.

This is yet another battle to surmount in daily life.
