"Your greatest creation is yourself. Like any great work of art, creating a great self means putting in hard work, every day, for years."–Joss Wheadon
I was on a treadmill in a Delhi hotel when I got chatting to a girl with raven hair, pink cheeks and flashing eyes. She was in her early 30s, heavy according to Western standards (but just right for the East and the Caribbean man). She was a New India girl. Educated, urbane, confident; with a job in marketing. She had a packed life of work and travel and weekends of clubbing, theatre, and galleries.
There was just one problem, she said, looking out into the Delhi fog through the glass with misty eyes. There were no marriageable men around. The joke was on women, she said: "We thought we were advancing ourselves, wanting it all, when actually it's turned out to be a choice between a career or an early marriage. Men are scared of women who are too independent."
