What does it mean to be a Modern Enlightened Woman....

A cousin of mine posed this to me some time back when we had met .... whether I was a modern enlightened woman myself, that really forced me to think on these lines and come out with a blog which I feel every woman of today would recognise herself with.

What does it mean to be a Modern Enlightened Woman.... Today's woman is far better an intellectual being than she thinks she is.....What She is certainly not is.....stupid! She knows who She is and what She can do. I think She is someone who doesn't feel confined by gender stereo-types, who is confident and can go after what She wants with determination, She surely knows what she does'nt want, She has her own opinions on anything and everything, She knows whats good for her and whats definitely bad, She is strong but also embraces the delicate shades of her personality that highlight her feminity.

She always walks tall and wouldn’t mind spending extra for the few inches on her heels
She always wants to look stylish and different and ends up looking.... absurdly different!
She often listens less and understands more
She is quick to decide on .... whether its now or never
She never tires of reiterating on her say and ever tired of the others' repetitions
She tries to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack her at once
She is not dependant anymore..... This makes her feel independent all the more!
She looks almost ten years younger her age and thinks almost ten years beyond her age
She wants to work out on her body...but ends up working hard in her mind!
She is tangled in her daily struggle for life but tries to untangle and straighten her hair
She tries to juggle between her work and home and constantly advices her man on how to combine marriage and a career.
She has strong intuition of everything which is the result of years of not thinking
She certainly knows when things are going to get a lot worse before they get worse
She wants to cook but ends up doing the laundry
She is either eating when excited or shopping when depressed
She is in the mood of movies anytime and holidays every time
She flares up fast and extinguishes soon....
She goes wrong.....and then fights for her right
She runs her horses of creative imagination wild and drives everyone around her crazy wild
She likes compliments coming in abundance but weighs it out while giving off

She doesn't have to be made-up pink and pretty, but if She's in that mood, so be-it! No one can put her in a box and limit her flight sky-high!
