"Is this world only for men"
I had many friends always, but one of them was a girl friend.
Boy friends are always boy friends, but she was only a girl friend.
She wanted to be with the boy friends, but she couldn’t be like a boy friend.
She wanted to become a boy and wanted to come with us always.
She was a girl but asked me… Is this world only for men?
She wanted to join with our night trips, but worried about her warden.
She wanted to jump into trekking, but needed a permission granted.
She wanted to drive on a pulsar, but all of us laughed just by hearing.
Thus she wanted to become a boy, and wanted to have our freedom…
How damn world is this, is this world only for men?
She wanted to have a liberty, from all the hazards of a lady.
She wanted to be like her boy friends, thought even a doctor can make her.
How dreary the life as a girl, She wanted to enjoy life like us.
Thus she wanted to become a boy, but she couldn’t fulfill her dreams…
How damn world is this, is this world only for men?
She wanted a lone trip to Mumbai, to attend her test and to come back.
But her mom heard a lot of stories…about city rape victim girls.
So she forced to plead to her sibling, who was nothing more… but a boy,
Thus she wanted to become a boy, but she is still been a girl…
How damn world is this, is this world only for men?
She wanted to go to the crowd and come back without any harm.
She doesn’t want to complain about any boys around….why?
She doesn’t want any equality… because she never been a feminist.
Thus she wanted to become a boy, but she couldn’t become it so far…
How damn world is this, is this world only for men?
She doesn’t want to complain about any dirty staring of men,
Because she knows no boys complain about any dirty staring of girls.
She doesn’t want to complain about any nasty comments of men,
Because she knew no boys complain about any nasty comments of girls
Thus she wanted to become a boy, but she couldn’t become it so far…
How damn world is this, is this world only for men?
Why should I come back before ten, that restriction not to my father?
Why should I call my mom always, that instruction not to my brother…?
I can not bear all these warnings, thus I want to become a boy.
Yes…thus she wanted to become a boy, but she couldn’t fulfill her dreams…
How damn world is this, is this world only for men?
“But, I didn’t have an answer”
(She was a nice friend of us, but with unfulfilled dreams she became a wife of somebody else, hope now the world is yours too…or making a world only of yours.)

Hai Ayyan! Nicely written poem from a girl's point of view. What you wrote is really true and I feel, most of the girls really long for the freedom you boys have!!

- but still, will copycat your poem the other way round. I know, u will be looking for it!!!
This is a World For Girls. Isnt't it?
When he was young, he used to accompany his sister to readymade shop.
Where she got four floors to shop while he got only one floor to stop.
"Is this a world only for Girls?" he used to wonder!!
While his sister happily watches TV sitting in their father's lap
He has to go to grocery shop in his cycle wearing his baseball cap.
Is this a world only for Girls?" he used to wonder!!
He used to drop his sister in beauty salons for manicure and pedicure
But he goes to his local hairstylist, nothing else to cure
"Is this a world only for Girls?" he used to wonder!!
There are more fancy shops selling bangles, earrings, and chains.
And he never came across a single shop selling things for boys.
Is this a world only for Girls?" he used to wonder.
When his wife became pregnant and felt the joy of carrying a new life
He wished so much to enjoy the feeling as like his wife
Is this a world only for Girls?" he used to wonder.
His children always count on their mom for things
While he has to take care of the monthly billings
Is this a world only for Girls?" he used to wonder.
And Now,
He is wondering about the things his wife and daughter-in-law speak and laugh
While engaging with his son-in-law for even a day to him is tough
Is this a world only for Girls?" he used to wonder.Posted 25th January 2010 at 02:18 AM by jananirbk -
WOW!!!!!!!!!
Janani, has stolen my words.....
. But still 
good one.
Both Ayyan and Janani, Well presented feeling.
Yes we have both set of sexes longing to have what the other one has....No doubt...
But there are exception as well. Like me who 
bows to the allmighty to make a girl, then a lady and now a woman ...I am thankful to him...no longing at all...
May be a Pride..but I don't mind being Proud of what I am....
Thanks to the lord for making woman on earth and adding me to the list.
Loved both the posts dears,
Love,
Kavitha.Posted 25th January 2010 at 04:09 AM by kavithavel -
Dear Janani,
First of all thanks for writing your true opinions, and of course I was expecting something like this from Janani, because I know there must be something to strike your cords.
But sorry for delay in reply, you know why? there was a party here, but only for boys!!! hahaha….hay don’t worry, there is one tomorrow, only for girls. I asked why couldn’t have a single party for both, the answer was terrible, there is liquors in men’s party, so some of them may behave badly to girls, but I wondered, why ladies can not behave badly to boys too….the world is only for boys?….just kidding.
Anyway your reply poem was amazing….hilarious too, enjoyed it...
You said true, there are many ladies stores, but few gents stores in the city, many ladies only buses, but no gents only…reservation for ladies, but not for men…
At times, world is for girls too….but sadly, if there was a real equality, nothing would have required, no?
So the present world is more for men….or for women? But all the men are come from a woman, that’s still a truth….love, ayyan.Posted 25th January 2010 at 05:19 AM by ayyan - Dear Kavitha,
Wow!! You are again…thanks for dropping in again…
I was expecting you too….. that’s the spirit, proud to be what you are, and make your own life…My girlfriend was always looking for something else which is not possible to reach, may be possible after many years…started showing the signs…
And finally….the expressions are not my personnel feelings, it was a poem about the world in her views only….thanks again…love…ayyan.Posted 25th January 2010 at 05:23 AM by ayyan
