Check out 16 Return-To-Work Programs In India For Ambitious Women Like You!
Strong women are here, and they will do what they want to do, without your permission. Get a life of your own!
Beware, ladies! Get the consent of unknown people first and then wear what you want and hang out with whom you want. Because otherwise, your image will be tarnished in seconds; in just the way Mahira Khan has been facing so much hatred.
When I saw Mahira Khan and Ranbir Kapoor together in those now well-known pictures, they were casual happy pictures. It brought a smile on my face seeing two people casually chilling around. It’s rare to see such pictures like this because what we see are more of party pictures of people posing together with a pout.
So when I saw two beautiful people together, it felt nice. Rather, I’d say I am hoping to see them together in a movie.
But here comes the sad part. Because we have the habit of making an issue out of everything, we pick anything and popularize it for no reason.
Actor Mahira Khan faced a lot of flak from people apparently, for all these reasons:
Yes, she was with a guy. She could be with anyone she wants to be with because she can decide for herself. She is above 18 and that gives her right to do whatever she wants in her life.
She wore a dress. If a man roams around in just boxers, then it’s fine. If a woman wears a short dress then it’s a sin. Get a life. Keep those double standards inside you.
And lastly, she is a woman. She is aware of that. That’s why she chose to be an independent and strong woman.
I was shocked when I heard some conjecture that it was all part of Mahira Khan’s plan to get herself placed in Bollywood. Damn. Who would have thought that casual hanging out could mean this much!
I think we should get over this and stop targeting women who like to live their life on their terms. Because they are no more damsels in distress.
And to be honest, better put your energy into something more worthwhile rather than letting it go waste.
Yes, I am sure it may hurt a lot of sentiments out there. But we better accept the presence of independent women and make peace with it.

Neena was the sole caregiver of Amma and though one would think that Amma was dependent on her, Neena felt otherwise.
Neena inhaled the aroma that emanated from the pan and took a deep breath. The aroma of cumin interspersed with butter transported her back to the modest kitchen in her native village. She could picture her father standing in the kitchen wearing his white crisp kurta as he made delectable concoctions for his only daughter.
Neena grew up in a home where both her parents worked together in tandem to keep the house up and running. She had a blissful childhood in her modest two-room house. The house was small but every nook and cranny gave her memories of a lifetime. Neena’s young heart imagined that her life would follow the same cheerful course. But how wrong she was!
When she was sixteen, the catastrophic clutches of destiny snatched away her parents. They passed away in a road accident and Neena was devastated. Relatives thronged her now gloomy house and soon it was decided that she should be married off.
Menopause is a reality in women's lives, so Indian workplaces need to gear up and address women's menopausal needs.
Picture this: A seasoned executive at the peak of her career suddenly grapples with hot flashes and sleep disturbances during important meetings. She also battles mood swings and cognitive changes, affecting her productivity and confidence. Eventually, she resigns from her job.
Fiction? Not really. The scenario above is a reality many women face as they navigate menopause while meeting their work responsibilities.
Menopause is the time when a woman stops menstruating. This natural condition marks the end of a woman’s reproductive years. The transition brings unique physical, emotional, and psychological changes for women.
