Sixteen year old Shivangi Pathak from Haryana, becomes the youngest Indian woman to scale Mount Everest. Her story reinforces the belief that women can achieve anything if they set their hearts to it.
Shivangi Pathak from Hisar, who scaled the topmost peak of the world along with other climbers, is an inspiration for all women.
By dint of sheer determination, a teen girl from an ordinary household reached the top of the mountain on Thursday, last week. It took over a month of expedition, that began in Nepal on 6th of April. She landed in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, along with her trekking mates, to set foot atop the invincible peak of Everest and brought unprecedented glory to the Indian Subcontinent.
Like any other common Indian young girl, she was also flowing along the stream of monotonous academic life. She often realised she could not diligently concentrate on her studies as the suppressed magma of adventure was steaming within her heart. One day, she visited a seminar with her mother when she was 15 years old, and watched a biopic on Arunima Sinha (first female amputee to climb Mt. Everest from India). This incident became a milestone in her life which made her believe that if Arunima Sinha could achieve such a daring triumph, then she also can do it. She tried to focus on her studies again but couldn’t do it. Finally she took a call and decided to go for explore mountaineering.
Pathak began her journey by taking admission in Jawaharlal Institute Of Mountaineering. She religiously took the training and the training equipped her to cope up with any kind of catastrophe that may happen during the course of exploration. Now that she has scaled the highest peak of the world, she wants to focus on her studies and continue to nurture her passion for mountaineering alongside.
PM Narendra Modi applauded her victory remarking it as a ‘Stupendous Accomplishment’ in his tweet. In an interview with ANI, Shivangi said that women can achieve anything if they have an unflinching desire to succeed. All they need is a little support and then there is nothing that can stop them from following their dreams.

My house-help asked excitedly, “I am going for wedding. Can you let me wear your red & black saree? To be honest I was stumped for a moment; I didn’t know what to say but I still said yes.
I lent a gorgeous saree to my house-help for a wedding in her family. Soon I stated getting questions if I would wear that saree again or if I was okay to be seen wearing the same saree my house-help was wearing?
We are all so conditioned to give our used clothes to our house-helps but are we okay to wear the clothes they were wearing?
A few days ago she came excitedly to me, “I am going for a family wedding. I want to wear your red & black saree, Ill wash and give it to you after the function. Please can you let me wear it?”
Beauty is a very clever, very evil capitalist tool. It traps those who have it into hanging on to it for dear life and those who don't into mutilating, torturing themselves to achieve the unachievable.
I recently wrote a piece about MP Shashi Tharoor’s tweet in which he had shared a pic with six women parliamentarians tagging them and saying “Who says the Lok Sabha isn’t an attractive place to work?”
There was a rash of comments on the post shared on Instagram, which ranged from “chill, it’s just a compliment” and “stop overthinking compliments”, to (worried) men lamenting about “these feminazi”.
Here’s my answer to all those comments.

“The question is not who’s going to let me, but who’s going to stop me” – Ayn Rand.
These women faced opposition, challenges, derision, antipathy and more, in their personal or professional lives, or both. But, that didn’t stop them. They simply did their work. No drama about their ‘ill-fate’. What they did were their duties without any distractions and they got results.
