Sample Article:

Write an article in about 200 words on the topic ‘Modern Woman’. You are Ashish.

                                                                                                                               Modern Woman- By Ashish

This article is in sympathy for the beleaguered Indian male who is confronted with an alien species: the modern Indian woman! She is a wondrous and amazing phenomenon but a huge (?) one to him! He has seen a traditional grandmother and mother enjoy peaceful non-threatening roles as housewives and mothers and largely cocooned within their home domain. But this new breed of woman has wheels under her feet and air under her wings!

She has emerged from the clearly defined boundaries of her home and entered schools, colleges, and defined her right and role at the workplace. She effectively juggles a work life, her social life, her home, family life and traditions and festivities. She’s a great blend of Western emancipation and Indian warmth, compassion, family values and traditions. But contrary to his conditioned mindset of how ‘women at home’ should be, she is strong, worldly-wise, opinionated, independent, economically self-sufficient and probably isn’t a virgin. It’s hard for him to digest because it’s not something that has happened slowly, but in one generation’s lifetime, over just a couple of decades.
