Women and society have to join their hands together in this initiative so that our future generations life will be violence free. They can live freely without any fear.
I was numb by reading an article which stated that man had beaten women enough to break her spine when she kept winning a online ludo game. I mean it’s just a game. What kind of society are we living in and what to expect from these type of men. Do we really consider them as a men or as a human being? On one hand women are worshiped as Devi(goddess) in temple & in home they are beaten or treated as housemaid no actually more worse then that.
Dear Society, While giving emotional dialogues and convincing us to get married then you always say that they will support you, will give you equal respect and blah.. blah…blah…( no offense some people might be very lucky they do get those type of supportive men) but do you really think that’s true. its always women who have to compromise with her carrier, education and sometimes even have to be a victim of physical and sexual violence in order to save marriage or whatsoever is the reason.Just raise your voice against violence do not fear about what others say. I would like to ask you(to those who constantly say they you are a girl you have to compromise a bit,be little bit flexible?) why always women and where it is written that it should always be a women? why always women have to prove that they are better then man in every field, and if they are far much better than men then physical torture, anger and so many other things they have to face. why so?
Just wishing women on women’s day or just speaking publicly about women’s right or putting a board of no physical or sexual violence in office wont be effective.It’s high time that we should start teaching our son to respect girls, teach them that women are your healthy competitor just like your male friends & they should be given equal right and respect in society and family so that in a future we may have a society which respects and provide equal opportunity to women or in short we may have a society free of women violence.But for this change in the system women have to play a vital role in teaching their child. Women and society have to join their hands together in this initiative so that our future generations life will be violence free. They can live freely without any fear. And as said nothing is impossible and well stated by unknown writer when women support each other incredible things happen, so we should support each other in creating a violence free society.

Freelance or full-time, which is a better mode of work for you? Here are the pros and cons, from someone who has been-there-done-that.
For women who are restarting their careers after marriage, motherhood, or any other personal reasons, freelance work is an excellent avenue to consider. I think I’m qualified to make this statement because I’ve been there, done that.
When we had to shift from Chennai to Bangalore because of my personal situation, I was both excited and anxious; excited about the new pastures I was going to explore, and anxious that it should all work out well for us; for me, my husband, and our daughter (5 years old then).
Bangalore welcomed us with open arms and there has been no looking back since. I had just completed a corporate training course a month before moving to Bangalore, and was looking at new opportunities.
Most of us dislike being called aunty because of the problematic meanings attached to it. But isn't it time we accept growing old with grace?
Recently, during one of those deep, thoughtful conversations with my 3 y.o, I ended a sentence with “…like those aunty types.” I quickly clicked my tongue. I changed the topic and did everything in my hands to make her forget those last few words.
I sat down with a cup of coffee and drilled myself about how the phrase ‘aunty-type’ entered my lingo. I have been hearing this word ‘aunty’ a lot these days, because people are addressing me so.
Almost a year ago, I was traveling in a heavily-crowded bus and a college girl asked me “Aunty, can you please hold my bag?” It was the first time and I was first shocked and later offended. Then I thought about why I felt so.
