Honour the incredible women who have shaped your life – share their stories this Mother’s Day! Let’s pass on the #legacyofstrength!
What a woman can be!
I am the cool breeze,
A whiff of fresh air,
Nature’s pure embodiment,
A disciple’s prayer.
I am the fleeting cloud
Across the blue sky,
The angelic newborn’s
Wail and shrill cry.
At times I do fret
And so much worry,
Do all the chores
In a great hurry.
Other times to God
I happily surrender,
Receive his magic
And miraculous wonder.
At times I am child-like
And sometimes so mature,
A reservoir of peace and calm,
So much I stoically endure.
At times, I’m sad, morose,
Other times, happy, carefree,
Sometimes I like being alone,
Another time in conpany.
Occasionally, I gorge on puchkas,
Unhealthiest to be seen,
At times, relish salads, nuts,
Seeds and healthy green.
I write long, mystical
And nostalgic verse,
Other times it’s short,
Concise and terse.
I am not just five feet
With a built so small,
In reality I am a
Pure and powerful soul.
I am loving, so caring
And the best friend,
With everyone else,
I do easily blend.
All these days, my writing
Acumen lay in slumber,
Now it awakens deeply with
A new frenzied fervour.
No more bondages, doubts,
I throw away the fears,
In the fire that rages within
And a barrage of tears.
Being downtrodden, subdued,
Giving away my power,
All my dreams and visions
With ease to another.
Tears of frustration, anger
Flowing from my eyes,
All the fears I held tightly
Was courage in disguise.
Why should I let destiny
Be my sole destination?
By living scared, low
And in procrastination.
NOW
A ball of erupting fire,
Raging, seething within,
When I see injustice to
My dear dear sistren.
At last, I found myself
As true as can be,
Reading about other women,
Emerged the real me.
I have awakened to
My full potential,
Still trying to arouse
Many a slumbering soul.
This sums it all, my
Persona come and see,
In totality this is me,
So many facets of me!

We need to stop stereotyping women's bodies, and also be more sensitive towards our children who are growing up with terrible self-confidence leading to loneliness and depression.
When Kate Winslet said, “Young women should enjoy their life instead of worrying about how they look,” it stuck a cord with me. I am one of those women who struggle with body image issues in a society heavily influenced by unrealistic beauty standards and societal expectations, and Kate’s statement was empowering.
I grew up listening to unsolicited advice about wearing clothes a size bigger than what I wear; everyone took a free ride to comment about my bra and how big it was. I have spent most of my life loathing how I look—my size, weight, clothes, appearance, skin tone, and hair. This isn’t because I’m not too fond of how I appear, but rather because I’ve been told repeatedly by most trusted people around me that I have one or more flaws.
It is imperative that, as a society, we shed our stereotypical thought not just to support women but also our children who are growing up with terrible self-confidence leading to loneliness and depression. We can significantly impact our mental health and well-being by fostering a culture of compassion, understanding, and empowerment.
