A contrary view by the author on the controversial statement by Manohar Parrikar that has most feminists in arms against the stereotyping.
Yes, I enjoy a drink But it’s more than the sip For I really have no taste for it But it makes me feel hip
I love the swirl of liquid The way the bubbles in my mouth pop And the warmth burns down my throat Like a summer that won’t stop
But my dad does frown on it Though he himself enjoys a drink Would he do it if I was his son I don’t really think
Does that make him parochial I don’t feel it does he never frowned upon my other whims So why should I fuss
He indulged in all that mattered to me My ambitions and my dreams He does get concerned if I take after him For all his vices, I mean
If I was a son Perhaps he would worry a lot less But it’s certainly not prejudice Like we worried at the start
Is it something to do with gender Or may be alcohol But it’s certainly not prejudice Like we took the call…

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.
