Hats off to you Sisters. Great achievement. A well marked Int`l Women`s day.
What has hapened suddenly. Women""s bank, women""s post office and now all women flight crew. At this rate, we should not be surprised if UPA says tht all their legislators and parliamentarians will be women and their ministers too would be drwan form women with view to recogise women""s importance in all walks of life!
This kind of gimmick is a mocery .First let the Government be serious about the harassment of women in work places Yesterday there was a complaint by AIR women staff in the Hindu's column and that too about sexual advancement by men supervisory staff
