15th August, Independence Day. You get up to everyone wishing you a very Happy Independence Day. Thanks to the social media, every Indian can show how patriotic he/she is just by copy pasting or forwarding a Happy Independence Day message.
I came across one message which expressed the same emotion as mine. The message was “people who don’t think of the country for the rest of the year, suddenly start sending messages and showing patriotism on one day” This message actually set me thinking.
Do we wish people a happy diwali everyday? Do we wish them a happy new year everyday? Do we wish them a happy birthday everyday? We don’t, so why expect that people should show patriotism everyday.
When we celebrate 15th August or 26th January, it should not be interpreted that we are patriotic only on those two days.
We are all busy in our respective roles as mothers , fathers, daughters, sons, and in our respective professions. Should we not rejoice that we are at least getting a chance twice a year to show our love towards our motherland. Actually, not twice, don’t we also show patriotism whenever India is playing a cricket match? Of late we are showing our love to our country by standing by our players in all sports.
Let’s not belittle our emotions, let’s celebrate our nation, our independence, our leaders, our heroes at the border.
When little kids who don’t even understand the word independence, come to watch the flag hoisting, it’s a proud moment.
When our children stand in attention singing the national anthem , it’s a proud moment.
When we stand with goosebumps singing our national anthem, it’s a proud moment.
So, all my fellow Indians, let’s all bombard Whatsapp, Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter with messages expressing our love to this beautiful , blessed country of ours.
VANDE MATARAM, HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY TO ALL OF YOU!!

Neena was the sole caregiver of Amma and though one would think that Amma was dependent on her, Neena felt otherwise.
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.
Menopause is the time when a woman stops menstruating. This natural condition marks the end of a woman’s reproductive years. The transition brings unique physical, emotional, and psychological changes for women.
