The Subtle Discrimination of Society- Being a Girl

Hello all, I am a human being with no special abilities other than being a woman. When I still could define my age as a 'girl', I often found myself disturbed with the question, "Why am I not a boy?' Reason being the simple advantages that my fellow guy friends used to enjoy- I am not talking about the advantages of basic necessities of the welfare of a child.
I was from a humble middle-class family with all the freedom (according to them) I could ask for. However, when it was dark outside and even though all the boys of my age were allowed to play outside, I had to come back home like a good girl and stay inside. When there were humid sunny climate and my guy friends were playing out, I was supposed to stay home to avoid tanning- it didn't help much in tanning though. While the boys of my community were playing cricket and football or any games that needed the only good playground available, I and all my friends belonging to my gender were not even allowed in the playground as we girls do not need the ground to play as a priority. There are always dolls and fake family games for girls that moulds the ideal girl child's mind, right?!
There have been many such unwritten rules of society that decided my life. As I grew up, it became clear and clearer to me that society believes in norms and will discriminate the hell out of everything possible up to the minute detail.
Today much noise about gender equality has been created in the past decade, which I guess is a result of many girls like me bursting out about the injustices they have been facing with every breath they take.
Enough of my rant now. This topic is so vast that it is absolutely not possible through just a blog. I would love to have a proper conversation about it. However, I am sure even that could last for days without any solutions. There are numerous unfortunate girls around the world fighting for their simplest and basic rights with the norms of the so-called 'society'.
Share your story if you are reading. I would love to share your burden in my capability (which i know is not much in this matter).

70's Disco Fashion

With 70's highly back in fashion scenario here is a little description what exactly was the era and its aura and a pinch of help if you are preparing for a theme party,costume or a fashion show. Disco is a genre of music containing elements of punk, soul, pop, salsa and psychedelic that was most popular in the mid and late 1970's.Characterized by a heavy, thumping rock and roll beat, a soulful singing style, and surging orchestrations, disco was primarily dance music, and it became the dominant musical feature of clubs throughout the countries as the 1970's progressed. There’s just something about the disco rhythm that gets your feet and body moving. The big horn sections, synthesized back beat and deep jazz bass riffs are just as mesmerizing today as they were years ago, back in 70's discos heyday. But disco wasn't limited to the dance floor. The 70's disco era crossed over into other parts of American culture, from roller rinks to the silver screen...

Relationships@Decoded--a page from my diary

What is RELATIONSHIP??What is LOVE??               Disclaimer : I am going to be extremely practical in this article so read it with free mind and try to understand and not to misunderstand.      Relationship is a deal between two individuals.Deal of being together,helping each other & backing up for each other. We are naturally programmed for finding companions so that we don't get alone in future. There is a calculation back in the mind,unknowingly, going on that decides or tells us,on which relationship we should invest our maximum time,energy,affection that are those in which we find more profitable. That's Science.That's Animal Behaviour. This is applicable even in Mother-Child or Father-Child relationships..Everyone in one or the other point thinks or feel alone even when they a in a "relationship"(i.e. they have BF or GF or whatever)..Well, that though beats the hell out of us but is not so surprising... WE held our hopes...
