The Road not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as far,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black,
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and, I
I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference. - Robert Frost

I entered the building and as instructed by the curator, I bought a ticket and hired a special hand machine that will play the recorded voice to explain to me everything in English. Asa I passed the administrative building, I came across a beautiful garden; it was full of pointed shapes of fir and pine trees, giving the best proof of French topiary. Far away stood other trees like walnut, juniper and yew, birds chirruped from the top. Among the topiary art stood a huge black bust, on top of which lay a drooping figure of Rodin. Not Rodin himself but a magnificent sculpture of him. It is commonly known as Rodin's Thinking Man. The Thinking Man squatted on a large and tall marble slap, in half bent posture and pensive mood. This is one of the masterpieces in modern art, an incomparable work. Rodin's pensive mood is remarkable.

Three years ago I had visited a smaller museum in Baltimore; Sewa had joined me from Illinois. In the very small museum, Rodin's copy too was quite small, Rodin's little thinker in Baltimore was a black metal work, just a replica. I remember writing an article which reminds us of our visit to Baltimore, and van Gogh's Irises. It got published in Antarderisti edited by Jyoti Ghimire of the USA.

New born babies do not know if they are boys or girls, but it does not take them long to find out. They very quickly learn the way that their society expects males and females to behave and think. That is, they learn their gender roles.

From the moment of birth, babies are usually treated according to their gender. In many other countries, baby girls tend to be dressed in pink clothing and baby boys in blue. Baby girls are handled more gently than boys. Girls are cuddled and kissed while boys are bounced around and lifted high in the air. Girls are given dolls, whereas boys are given cars, trucks and building blocks. Mothers think a lot about how pretty their girls should look, but they are less connected about their little boys' appearance.

When they start to talk, children are taught the difference between the words "he" and "she" and between "him" and "her". There are also differences in the way parents talk to their children. Parents use words about feelings and emotions more with girls than with boys and by the age 2, girls use these words more than boys do. Furthermore, mothers and fathers talk differently, because of their socialization. Mothers tend to talk more politely (Could you turn off the TV, please) and father tend to use more direct language (Turn off the TV). By age 4, girls and boys have learned to imitate these conversational styles. Girls are generally taught to be "lady like" - polite and gentle.
