Check out 16 Return-To-Work Programs In India For Ambitious Women Like You!
Here is a list of 10 low budget travel destinations in India that you can explore before the vacation is over, and create lasting memories!
Are you worried that your much awaited break is still pending and the school re-opening is just around the corner? You can still do a last minute quick vacation with your family if you do not mind staying at decent places, if not resorts all the time. Also there are many travel companies these days which make the job much easier for you by designing the tour for every budget.
All you need to do is pack your bags and be ready! I always feel blessed to be in Bangalore as there are many hill stations, located in just at a few hours drive.
If budget is on your mind, then you might want to check this video which gives their top 10 picks in India, to go this summer on a shoe string budget. Really it is worth to tick some items from that to-do list now!
The flip side is that, with our ever growing population, most tourist places are crowded, especially in summers. When you try to escape the city’s traffic and end up in tourist traffic, it is not doing any good either. So while you make sure you are ticking off the item, ‘vacation’ from your list, make sure that you need not tick off the so called ‘attractions’ of your destination. Remember you are on a vacation to take a step back to have a peaceful and fresh look at life.
It is not about taking more steps in a rush to cover something that is termed as ‘not to miss spot’. Tell yourself – it is absolutely fine to cover even a few places at your own pace.
With its diversity, India is a place to enjoy different flavours as you change the state. Whether you want to do trekking or adventure sports or bird watching or eat street food or read a book by the beach, there is something for everyone. When life is outside, you discover yourself better and come back rejuvenated to catch the school buses on time!

The plight of Indian women's mental health often goes unnoticed. Co-founders Vivek Satya Mitram and Pooja Priyamvada conceived the idea of the Bharat Dialogues Women & Mental Health Summit to address this.
Trigger Warning: This contains descriptions of mental health trauma and suicide, and may be triggering for survivors.
Author’s note: The language and phraseology used are not the author’s words but the terms and narrative popularly used for people living with mental illnesses, and may feel non-inclusive. It is merely for putting our point across better.
I have seen how horrifying was the treatment given to those with mental illness.
14 years after her last feature film Dhobi Ghat, storyteller extraordinaire comes up with her new film, Laapataa Ladies, a must watch.
*Some spoilers alert*
Every religion around the world dictates terms to women. The onus is always on women to be ‘modest’ and cover their faces and bodies so men can’t be “tempted”, rather than on men to keep their eyes where they belong and behave like civilized beings. So much so that even rape has been excused on the grounds of women eating chowmein or ‘men will be men’. I think the best Hindi movie retort to this unwanted advice on ‘akeli ladki khuli tijori ki tarah hoti hai’ (an alone woman is like an open jewellery box) came from Geet in Jab We Met – Kya aap gyan dene ke paise lete hain kyonki chillar nahin hain mere paas.
The premise of Laapataa Ladies is beautifully simple – two brides clad in the ghunghat that covers their identity get mixed up on a train. Within this Russian Doll, you get a comedy of errors, a story of getting lost, a commentary on patriarchy’s attitude towards women, a mystery, and a tale of finding oneself, all in one. Done with a mostly light touch that has you laughing and nodding along.
