Check out these 8 Government Loan Schemes That You Can Benefit From As A Woman In Business.
Find your quota of inspiration from these multi-talented women today who don’t shy away from chasing their professional AND creative ambitions!
As Indian women, most of us have grown up hearing this one word being chanted by others around us: ‘Adjust’. It is as if the society perceives us as some kind of fluid which can take the shape and form of any vessel it has been poured into. However, the winds of change are here my friend, and women today are increasingly feeling proud of being unique.
The time has come for us to ‘Be Ourselves’. The time has come to show the world that if we give shape to our ambitions and dreams, we can create a lasting legacy.
We can make a huge difference when we can be our real, authentic, creative, ambitious selves.
When I decided to make a recent career shift from being a financial analyst to a writer, I was scared, but at the same time I was happier than ever before. When I started to write, I felt as if I’ve answered my life’s calling and though I have a long way to go, I do believe that I have the power to make a positive difference in this world with the help of my pen.
And I’m not the only one. In recent times, I’ve come across a whole bunch of women who continue to follow their dreams whole-heartedly.
Lakshmi Priya, for instance, is a leadership coach and consultant by day but continues to follow her passion as an artist and a writer by night. She has been working as a training professional with over 15 years of experience across India and the UK. She has been involved in a range of training interventions which have had direct impact on company profitability. She, along with four other writers, created Litlatte, a publishing platform. Apart from publishing anthologies and books, she regularly writes for the monthly edition of Write Club Magazine.
Another such multi-talented woman is blogger Tanvi Sinha who is a leading voice today on issues around women, but also works in the space of taxation. Increasingly, one does not have to choose between work and other parts of one’s life – be it a cause, a skill or a passion.
The following video also shows the stories of a few such women:
Nazia, Priyanka, and Lakshmi share stories about how their learnings from their workplace as well as that from outside of it, complement each other to help them grow as individuals and to make a greater impact in all their roles. Their life outside work doesn’t hamper their career but actually adds to it, as they bring in empathy and other inter-personal skills that are essential to any modern workplace.
All these women I talked about are not the exceptions but rather the norm that progressive companies these days are looking out for.

Mostly Normal is a book of innocence, longing, filial love, angst and acceptance, encapsulating a gamut of human emotions within its lightweight edifice. The book touches the human heart and will stay with you.
Some books enthral you till the last page, and then there are those that you stop reading after turning a few pages. Some books are a one-time read, while you carry some books with you long after you have read them. Then, once in a while, a book hits you so close to home that you find it difficult to slot into any category.
I will put Priyadeep Kaur’s Mostly Normal (BookSoul Reads, 2022) in this last bracket.
At a little less than hundred pages, Mostly Normal is a testimony of the power of words to inspire, irrespective of their length.
Most women do not get to live their lives the way they want, on their own terms. So why should they be tied down in their old age?
Every morning, while dropping the kids at the bus stop, I find a grandfather waiting with his granddaughter. I see him again when I fetch the kids. This has been the pattern for the last few years.
He is seen actively participating in his granddaughter’s activities, from morning and evening walks to attending her parent-teachers meeting, sending her for extracurricular activities to even planning her birthday party. He is admired by all. He is appreciated for making himself useful in his old age. People rave that the doting grandfather is doing his duty towards his children and grandchildren. The much-admired grandfather is also a widower, having lost his wife years ago to chronic disease. It’s also to be noted that both his son and daughter-in-law are working parents.
Every day, the onlookers appreciate his sense of duty and dedication. They say that this is how the elderly should keep themselves occupied. They should bring up their grandchildren while their children go off to work.
