Well, today I am really out of ideas. What am I supposed to write? All I can think of are rice, dosa, chutni, kitchen sink, bathroom. Hey, how does one remain creative when surrounded by household chores from morning to night?
I remember this story. Once Lord Vishnu was praising some human saying that he is the best bhakta of Vishnu. Narada got angry. He complained to Vishnu. "I pray to you always. I keep chanting your name entire day. Still you select some human as your best bhakta. And this is unfair". Vishnu smiles and gives a bowl filled with oil to Narada and tells him "You go around the world holding this bowl in your hand and come back to me. But be careful, you should not spill a single drop of oil. " Narada goes around the world, carefully protecting the bowl of oil and comes back. Tells Vishnu triumphantly " See I did not spill a single drop of oil". Vishnu asks him " How many times did you chant my name?".
So now do you people realize why there is scarcity of woman writers? And for that matter female saints?
