Work you Woman

Nowhere in the world have I seen women as sharp and talented as in Karachi.

It's amazing really.

Specially when you think about the amount of time and brain power they waste on useless stuff. Like gossip and TV serials.

The first few years after I moved to Karachi, I was baffled at how the women here 'worked'. All I saw were a number of talented brains being unfairly consumed for chit chat and cooking. There was occasional cleaning too when the maid(s) weren't available in extreme cases. And yes, those lovely invented committees that are just an excuse to eat more food and waste more money while gossiping about women who actually put their brains to a better use.

I say this once, and I say it seriously. You HAVE to put your talents to a better use.

If you know how to write, then write. Write blogs, write articles, write a book. Write to help the minority. Write to diminish the unjust. Write to expose the truth. If you know how to cook then cook for others. Cook to feed the needy, cook to win competitions, cook to earn. Cook to teach. If you know how to speak then speak for religion, speak for morals, speak to bring hope and happiness.
I have seen women who have an amazing sense of fashion but can't sew, women with great memorizing skills but have no motivation to learn, women with awesome debating skills which are simply used to win arguments against there in-laws.

Put your talents to a POSITIVE use! And I can't empathize that word enough.

Use your time to fine tune your skills. Use your hard earned money to invest in what you are good at. Use all that pent up energy to perform with passion.

And as soon as you start using your talents for the good, you'll watch your life change. You won't be the victim anymore. You'll be your own woman, standing on your own feet, powered by your own brain.

A self sufficient woman.

And nothing is more beautiful than that.
