Equal or Better- Choice is Yours!
Anybody who knows anything of history knows that great social changes are impossible without the feminine ferment. – Karl Marx Yet, Women fought long and hard for basic rights. The right to vote, the right to drive, the right to work after marriage, the right to be seen as more than the property of men, the right to voice out their opinion. They have been kidnapped and trafficked. They have been denied education, property ownership, equal pay. One out of every five women has been raped.

Bodies and Dresses: One size doesn’t fit all!
Being a women in mid 30s is a challenge for many. A lot is at stake and we have to break barriers to get what we want. One such challenge is “dealing with our bodies”.

Being Grateful Strengthens Relationships And Promotes Emotional and Physical Well-being
Does it feel a little dramatic to sit down every night and write down all that you have been grateful for that day? Although it is not at all ridiculous, it may sound rather old-fashioned and remind you of your moral science teacher in school who gave you those life lessons. Well you may not be journaling to list the things you are grateful for, but at least acknowledge what you have been blessed with rather than fretting and complaining about what you do not have.
Guilt As A Working Mom - My Kid Fell Behind Academically And Then I changed One Thing About It

The reality check!!!
Sometime back, I read an article about “Diversity and Inclusion”. The article had an important statement about the thin line of differences that exists between diversity and inclusion. It stated, “Diversity is being invited to a party, Inclusion is being asked to dance”. Diversity and inclusion is a boarder term in the workspace and the statement is a question to be answered by each one of us to make everyone in the party dance. Well, that’s an entirely different topic to discuss.
# FridayFuel - Love that Distance Strengthens
Yes! The title sounds cliched in a dynamic world today. We often hear of relationships doomed by distances, of love, wearing off when physical proximity ceases, and of growing apart. Most of my life I grew up witnessing the opposite of this. Thus, my belief in growing together whether distant or near stands tall. When I think back today, I owe a lot of my value system to being a part of this life.

7 Ways Mindfulness Can Enrich Relationships
Consider this scene. Rati and Aditya are working intently on their laptops. Their teenage daughter, Smriti, is scrolling through social media messages on her phone while their eight-year-old son, Mahir, is avidly watching an animated show on television.

One of the things missing in this scene is connection between family members.

India’s 15th president is the first of many things.

We need to stop romanticising the role of women in the kitchen
“Instead of purchasing food from restaurants through ‘swiggy’ and ‘zomato’, let the children taste the delicious food made by their mother and let the children play at play grounds at that time and come back home to the mesmerizing smell of mother’s food.

Peace comes from within, never seek it outside...
After spending half a day in the hospital for my routine checkups, I sat down to sip hot coffee in the cafeteria. In the meantime, I also booked an auto rickshaw for heading back home. I was surprised to see a female name as the driver, Anu (name changed). I have seen women riding autos, and always a sense of pride would engulf me.

To be Human & follow Humanity
We humans are all same, not everyone is a Sadhu or Saint. Even the ones who claim to be so have faced situations that were insane. Walking towards the path of sanity, they have left behind the society, but are still part of the humanity. To achieve so, they are away from the cat and dog chase, not a part of the rat race. A Saint is defined to be a holy person, a religious one, a kind human. People believe in what he/she says, and that’s a matter of concern.
