Here’s something to salute that spirit of womanhood and the wonderful qualities that make up every lovely female form.
Women need to be celebrated every day. They give life, enhance life and are life itself. This is a poem to honour the true beauty of a woman. Every woman has these amazing qualities and much more! Woman play many roles with perfection and still stay grounded and humble. Here’s something to salute that spirit of womanhood and the wonderful qualities that make up every lovely female form.
On this Women’s Day, this is my tribute to women all around who inspire me each day to do my best and be my best.
The woman in me is fearless
She can face any storm
No challenge is too big
Inner resilience is her form
The woman in me is loving
Wearing on her sleeve, her emotion
See what she creates
With a little bit of affection
The woman in me is intelligent
She is alert and aware
No matter the problem
There’s a solution she can share
The woman in me is independent
Standing out in a crowd
Set her free in her decisions
Her accomplishments make you proud
The woman in me is confident
With dreams of her own
Give her wings and you’ll see
Seeds of success being sown
The woman in me exudes beauty
Through the pureness in her heart
Her kindness and generosity
Always sets her apart
The woman in me is strong
Nothing can touch her family
She stands like a shield
Protecting them calmly
The woman in me is much more
She gives her body and soul
Mother, daughter, sister, friend and wife
In everything, life’s given her a role
Once God made man
The heart was still incomplete
For life to bloom he made a woman
As she was the heartbeat
Share this poem with as many women as you can and make them feel good about themselves. Let’s be there to support each other and fix each other’s crowns, not knock them off!

People say that women are the greatest enemies of women. I vehemently disagree. It is the patriarchal mindset that makes women believe in the wrong ideology.
The entire world celebrates International Women’s Day on March 8, 2024. It should be a joyful day, but unfortunately, not all women are entitled to this privilege, as violence against women is at its peak. The experience of oppression pushes many women to choose freedom. As far as patriotism is concerned, feminism is not a cup of tea in this society.
What happens when a woman decides to stand up for herself? Does this world easily accept the decisions of women in this society? What inspires them to be free of the clutches of the oppression that women have faced for ages? Most of the time, women do not get the chance to decide for themselves. Their lives are always at the mercy of someone, which can be their parents, siblings, husband, or children.
In some cases, women do not feel the need to make any decisions. They are taught to obey the patriarchal system, which makes them believe that they are right. In my family, I was never taught to make decisions on my own. It was always my parents who bought dresses and all that I needed.
14 years after her last feature film Dhobi Ghat, storyteller extraordinaire comes up with her new film, Laapataa Ladies, a must watch.
*Some spoilers alert*
Every religion around the world dictates terms to women. The onus is always on women to be ‘modest’ and cover their faces and bodies so men can’t be “tempted”, rather than on men to keep their eyes where they belong and behave like civilized beings. So much so that even rape has been excused on the grounds of women eating chowmein or ‘men will be men’. I think the best Hindi movie retort to this unwanted advice on ‘akeli ladki khuli tijori ki tarah hoti hai’ (an alone woman is like an open jewellery box) came from Geet in Jab We Met – Kya aap gyan dene ke paise lete hain kyonki chillar nahin hain mere paas.
The premise of Laapataa Ladies is beautifully simple – two brides clad in the ghunghat that covers their identity get mixed up on a train. Within this Russian Doll, you get a comedy of errors, a story of getting lost, a commentary on patriarchy’s attitude towards women, a mystery, and a tale of finding oneself, all in one. Done with a mostly light touch that has you laughing and nodding along.
