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!

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.
