You cannot choose your teachers...... - Jayashree

A woman too has a little “self” beyond the roles that she plays. That self only craves for that little “bit” which has been passed over or been taken for granted. That missing ‘bit’ ignored again and again leading to a vacuum that nothing can or will fill. Draupadi, a woman who was denied childhood, sought love in the valour of the world’s best archer, and the “bit” in her was crushed time and again- when she had to share her love, when she had to welcome another woman and the culmination when her mighty husbands became mute spectators to her public disrobement; no amount of valour on the battle field could fill those missing bits which when denied left a black hole full of sorrow and bitterness. The vacuum that Sita felt when she had to take the test of fire; no matter her husband vanquished the mightiest, but that test, a moment of truth, threw light on that glaring missing “bit”.
