Sheryl Sandberg’s Facebook post about single mothers for Mother’s Day is an inspiring one that honors them and speaks of her insight into their lives.
“I never understood how often the world would remind my children and me of what we don’t have.”
In the run-up to Mother’s Day this year, Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg has made an impassioned plea on behalf of all single mothers. More than a year after her husband SurveyMonkey CEO Dave Goldberg death on May 1, 2015, Sandberg writes that his death “has redefined what it is to be a mother” for her. She has been raising her two children by herself, working at Facebook and also running a women’s support group– Lean In.
She says that although she was insulated from the financial difficulties, not all single mothers are fortunate enough because they didn’t have the ‘safety net’. Additionally, the profound emotional stress of societal assumption that ‘dad is around’ has an exponential affect on the mental health of these single mothers.
“Before, I did not quite get it.”
Sandberg’s recent experience seems to have opened her eyes and has put certain things in her perspective. One of them is the shortcomings of her runaway bestseller book, ‘Lean In’. The book had received severe criticism because of its inability to emphasize on the many workplace challenges that marginalized disadvantaged women faced.

Who are these people who decide how a married woman should pose? Women do have a life and career outside their marriages!
Last week, a picture kept popping up on my FB feed, of a man and a woman standing close. I didn’t pay much attention, they looked like any other celebrity couple.
It was when I accidentally saw a derogatory term about the woman as the title of a post, that I read.
The woman in the pic was Dhanashree Verma, a Youtuber, choreographer, Jhalak Dikhla Ja participant and wife of cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal. The man was another choreographer, Pratik Utekar.
The pursuit of true happiness and owning your true identity - things that probably are most important for humans. Laapataa Ladies has it all.
This well written satire goes as deep inside as it seems on the surface. While uncovering the deep-rooted traditions and superstitions of traditional India on the face of it, this story of lost women is actually also a story of finding oneself. Not only for the “lost ladies” but for a lot of other characters of the movie.
Be it by getting reminded of the childhood self, or of the dreams seen as a child or via learning & unlearning, or even questioning some of the self-beliefs when shown the mirror, or tapping on the hidden goodness, each major character of the film ends up finding self.
Well what can be a bigger accomplishment than this. A very powerful and intelligently written story showing the world that the dark and the bright stays together, it co exists.
