International Women's Day was celebrated around the world on 8 March 2010. It is a day of global celebration for the economic, political and social achievements of women. Woman or in plural women...can be considered as the centre part of this world or core of the earth, she is life and adorned with the gift of bringing forth the life... every man is surrounded with women in various forms as mothers, grand others, sisters, wives, daughters, friends, colleagues, every quality of women and their elegance. They are charming, loving and at moments very scaring like all the qualities of this earth or nature in large. Besides, woman is power. We were successful to make women believe that they were weak and fragile. But woman is the queen of her house and rules the household from behind the curtains.

After a successful celebration of this special day for women, that is the woman's day, it is apt if one could pass across a message that has to be put up or rather an appeal. Please realise the biggest challenge that is facing the very existence of the human race on this planet. Become aware of the climate change and global warming. With our own deeds and efforts we have torn apart this beautiful planet and are now facing the consequences as we did to women.

The plea to all women is educate your men...try and find our little things that are threatening the planet. It can be anything like how much water you are wasting while washing the clothes or dishes or running the refrigerator when it's almost empty.

My appeal to women on this day is ... help our mother earth...educate your children on climate change and bang the ears of your husbands and fathers when they involve themselves in eco-dangerous activities...if woman is centre of everything...she can save this entire world... i strongly believe this world will be saved because of the slender and nimble fingers of you all women.
I salute you all women...
