Check out these 8 Government Loan Schemes That You Can Benefit From As A Woman In Business.
Whether it’s the famous ‘Indian head shake’ or the Bengaluru potholes that have your insides quaking, here’s an ode to shaking!
The other day, as I walked across the Trinity station metro, I heard a Japanese family ask a couple, if the train there took them to ‘Indeera Nagah’. Both of them smiled in synchronization and bobbed their head left and right.
The confused man asked again, “Do thees train go to Indeera Nagah?” Again the couple bobbed their head left and right in the Indian headshake, their smiles now lopsided. They were probably wondering why shaking one’s head like a Bharatnatyam dancer was so confusing to the poor foreigner.
I mean this was one of those incidents where you had to be there to find it funny, but it sure got me thinking about our shaky disposition.

A few years ago, when going to a certain ‘health spa’ meant making a fashion statement, I fell into the pool of countless women who would go there for tummy tucks.
I got to the center where a primly dressed girl led me to a room that looked like a neater jail cell, with beds on both sides. Once my t-shirt was pulled up, she grimaced at the size of my tummy, but that’s not the point I am trying to make here.
I was hooked up to one of those alien looking machines, and everything was all right, you know; silent, unmoving, peaceful and then she pushed a button that shook my tummy at 6.8 on the Richter scale.
Well, of course I was about to press the emergency button and tell them to unhook me, until I remembered how it felt to ride my rickety scooter on these pothole-ridden roads. Who needs tummy tucks when we have roads that shake us enough for a jolly good workout?
Let’s see – all the shaking we do all day long, right from shaking your toothbrush to shaking (err…rocking) your baby to sleep.
Or the incessant shaking of legs, especially in long office meetings. In fact I had subconsciously trained my colleagues into kicking my legs from under the table the minute our meeting exceeded a fifteen-minute mark.
Now you must be wondering, why is this loony woman talking so much about shaking? Should we shake some sense into her? You see; shaking is not in vain.
Definitely not when shaking could win you loads of prizes and do your grocery shopping, sitting… nope, shaking at home. Go ahead and get the Avenue11 app on your smart phone, and shake your booty while you do it (or should we say twerk it?)

Chetan Bhagat had no business slut shaming Uorfi Javed or any other woman. If he wants to 'guide' young men in the 'right direction' then he should take accountability for his words.
Chetan Bhagat, one of India’s bestselling authors, thought it was an ingenious idea to slut-shame Uorfi Javed, an Indian actress and influencer, at the Sahitya Aaj Tak literature festival.
“Phone has been a great distraction for the youth, especially the boys, spending hours just watching Instagram Reels. Everyone knows who Uorfi Javed is. What will you do with her photos? Is it coming in your exams or you will go for a job interview and tell the interviewer that you know all her outfits? On one side, there is a youth who is protecting our nation at Kargil and on another side, we have another youth who is seeing Uorfi Javed’s photos hiding in their blankets.”
Uorfi Javed responded with a video on her Instagram stories calling out Bhagat’s bluff. She shared the screenshots of his previous chat conversations with Ira Trivedi, author and yoga instructor, which came to light during the #MeToo movement.
While boys are taught to naturally own the space they enter, girls are taught to give up, to accommodate, to adjust since "it is their primary responsibility to keep families and relations together."
Yesterday, I was watching these 4 young girls around 16 – 17 years old play badminton. They were having fun, goofing around with all 4 of them equally involved in the game.
In some time two of their male friends joined them, and as part of round robin, the 2 boys replaced two of the girls. All good.
As the play continued, I started noticing a change in the way the game was being played. The shuttle was played most of the times between the two boys and there was a sense of competition and aggression brought in. The other 2 girls playing soon starting losing interest in the game as they hardly got any game time. Even if the shuttle came towards them, the boy in their team would move and play that shot. They soon moved to the sidelines as the boys continued to play.
