So much for women's empowerment.
Initially reading it, I thought it was an article highlighting equality of sexes- that the girls in this article seem to know what they want and how to get those things and seem to regard casual sex as a temporary respite.
But on further reading, it seems that nothing could be further than the truth. Why would all these intelligent girls put themselves in situations where they have no control over what happens to them? Why would they continue to drink and make themselves have sex with random men? What kind of a society encourages this to happen?

When in doubt...
...read politics!
This is a newly discovered panacea for self-doubt.
Next time I feel dejected about something that didn't happen the way I anticipated it would, I will merely open up the pages of the Washington Post and read about Mitch McConnell, John McCain and Harry Reid. These are politicians well-known in the United States.
McConnell survives the relentless derision he faces from comedians like Jon Stewart and continues to brazen out his increasingly rigid stance against Obama.
McCain lost the presidential elections and is among the most moderate and yet, important, Republicans in the Senate.
Think about Anthony Wiener. I would have fizzled down and shrunk away if I were caught sexting by the world. But look at him (or rather, don't look at him): up he springs again! :)
I need to take a page out of these people's stories and stop moping about some apparent setback in my life.

Durga's milestone
Hurray! Durga flipped over on to her belly a couple of days ago! My little girl is getting big! And even better, she likes me! I used to think that she didn't really care if I was around her or not, but it is becoming increasingly clear that she misses me when I'm not around. Yaay! My little baby knows me now!
