Viva La Femme

Women's Day 2008, I had a wonderful time travelling to Venice, Nice, Monaco, Monte Carlo and Verona, with a bus load of Bosnian women and two Indian women. It was fun and crazy. The long hours of sitting did take its toll on the bum but the spirit was joyous. I guess women all over the world are the same...the Bosnian women sang, ate and cackled right through the journey.

This March 8th I had a quieter ride with spouse. We went to a small town here called Fonica. Small but beautiful in the typical east European way. March 8th in Zenica is very gay. You see the men purposefully walking with flowers in hand. I guess its an indication that there is a woman in their lives. Small kiosks selling fresh flowers and stuffed heart pillows spring overnight and the pedestrian street looks charming.

I hope the moral police in India had no problems about people celebrating Women's Day back home. After all it is just one day in 365 days. The remaining days, it is probably about men in most families.
