Imagine Indian women as fighter pilots (satire)

Women are not afraid of the skies. They have been flying transport aircraft for ages and, some of them have gone to Space as astronauts. A couple of them even have Indian backgrounds that go to prove that nothing is impossible. Where there is a will, there is a way.
Therefore, it was but natural that Moody call up his defense specialist to the office to discuss the pros and cons of inducting women a fighter plots.
Women are basically fighters. They have to fight with the men every inch of the way. At home it is the hubby, on the way to work it is the Romeos, when at work, it is the colleagues. Fighting is in their blood and, given the present scenario, many of them have joined martial arts classes to be able to fight their way out of trouble. And, the market is flooded with self-protection devices from pepper sprays to mobile Apps that can transmit messages to several numbers simultaneously at the click of a button on apprehension of dangers.

‘Why don’t we get women to fly fighter aircraft?’ Moody asked Pyari Kar.
Pyari-ji gulped. He had never pondered over such a question.
‘No one has given it a thought till now,’ he replied.
‘That is no reason why we should not,’ Moody’s voice conveyed his annoyance.
‘I will study it and come back,’ he tried to wriggle out of the tricky situation.
‘I want a positive result. In fact, I want the first woman fighter pilot to take off from this year onwards’.
‘I will have to first check out how many women can be considered.’
‘Do that but remember – I want action. Not assurances.’
Pyari Kar knew Moody was a tough taskmaster and his wish must be fulfilled.
Women’s lib has certainly improved the lot of women in general and they pride themselves on being able to get recognition is all spheres but, there are discreet differences. For example – in the armed forces, women are usually employed in streams like medicine, education, public relations but, direct combat roles would need plenty of daring and resolve.
Anyway, Moody’s wish must be honored – so our dear Pyari-ji has now embarked in search of Tomboys in the Air Force.
