These simple work life balance tips look at how we can maintain our sanity in the struggle between demands at work and home.
Some people say that it’s easy for them to maintain a balance between their work and their personal lives. However, in a new age of intense work conditions, many people find it difficult to cope with their job requirements as well as personal lives.
This could become strenuous if not properly handled and adequately balanced. Today various jobs, whether in Indian companies or multi-national companies (MNCs) demand the employee’s 24*7 availability at work with of course, new technologies and software too emerging on the scene.
Many of us want to reach the top and to excel at our careers, but in this quest, a person’s personal life is likely to be affected, leading to their losing out on mental and physical well-being.
People think that working 24*7, in order to gain recognition and to be made a benchmark for success, is not a big problem or issue, but it has its own impact when one is not able to connect with loved ones; in fact, we don’t have time for themselves too.
The most important thing we need is to develop the mental and emotional capacity and the right attitude to deal with challenges in one’s professional as well as personal life.
There are ways to achieve and maintain healthy personal relationships along with outstanding career growth. Here are some work life balance tips that I feel will be useful:
These become important especially for ambitious women with the capability of thinking and dreaming high. There is no denying that women have more hurdles such as taking care of children or elderly people in the family. However, having a supportive family by one’s side can definitely help overcome these hurdles. It is important for us to value our work just as we value each and every precious family member. I believe that a working mother is a good example for the kids, since they gain in confidence and independence by seeing their mother handling various tasks at different times. As women we shouldn’t underestimate ourselves – we are often capable of doing more than we think.
It is true that it sometimes becomes really difficult to be equally present in our professional and personal lives. We try our best, that our work or our family doesn’t miss out on us. But as the saying goes, ‘Where there’s a will, there’s a way’. I believe that there’s always some or other way, but we have to keep our senses working to see the coming opportunity. So let’s give the best of who we are, and enjoy and live up to every moment!

Just because they are married a husband isn’t entitled to be violent to his wife. Just because a man is "in love" with a woman, it doesn't give him a right to be violent.
Trigger Warning: This speaks of graphic details of violence against women and may be triggering for survivors.
Anger is a basic human emotion, just like happiness or being sad. One chooses his/her way of expressing that emotion. It is safe until that action stays within oneself.
What happens when that feeling is forced upon another? The former becomes the perpetrator, and the latter turns out to be the victim.

A true love story. A tale of politics, treachery and war. A piece from India’s rich history. A vivid description of 18th century life in the Deccan. Yes, The Royal Scandal is all that and more. But it is also an aide-mémoire of the tremendous fortitude, the unbeatable spirit that women are, and have always been, capable of.
18th century, Hyderabad, India. A time and place when societal laws and rules came down heavy on the female gender, when zenanas separated and shielded the women from the world outside, when it was understood and accepted that the men in their lives would govern and dictate every big and small decision.
