Modern women!
These words have so many opinions to express. Some say 20th century women have a plethora of ways to show the world, the way they are living and leading. Does it really prove that women have no boundaries as such?? Let me tell you an experience of 2 women employees or say women working in IT companies.
The first one I am talking about here is an expert in managing the HR department in an MNC, being a manager to a team she was looked as an icon by her junior staff. They use to follow her in each and every aspect they bring on during the meetings, and the way she inspires these young women and helps them grow in their career has no limitations. But the performance and the achievements in her office were never to be compared to the skills that she has to deal with her family life. Why? Because she is never given a chance to spoke her opinions freely, at her home she is not playing a manager role, instead she is a slave who is working extra hours to hold back and bring the family together.
Why can’t she apply the same rules and tactics as she did in the office at home to be a manager, because still at home she has to be a daughter-in law with rules that were being followed and obliged from generations across. Is this environment going to help her raise her own kids to be independent or become like her after few years??
We will look at the second modern women. She is really a modern in all aspects. She is the only daughter and she is the love of her parents. So they gave her 200% of freedom, and she is free to share her thoughts about everything with parents. She helps her colleagues in the office and her social life is very active with a lot of friends online and offline. But the one thing that is making her stick to her grounds is that she believes everyone easily and she can’t realize who are true to her. She can be fooled very easily. She use to work very hard in the project and was ready to take up the challenges. But her leads or managers never took her work to be granted. They never recognised her for the work she had done.
She was feeling down about the instances when she saw her juniors get promoted who are from other projects. She spoke to managers at higher levels as well regarding the recognition and promotion she was expecting. But they were of no help, moreover they pin pointed more negatives than appreciate the positive work she did. She was left out with nothing but stress and deprivation. Being a women of modern culture why she is still not reaching her potential?
Both of them think themselves as failures, but have they really failed?

I wanted to scream with excitement that my daughter chose to write about her ambition and aspirations over everything else first. To me, this was one of those parenting 'win' moments.
My daughter turned eight years old in January, and among the various gifts she received from friends and family was an absolutely beautiful personal journal for self-growth. A few days ago, she was exploring the pages when she found a section for writing a letter to her future self. She found this intriguing and began jotting down her thoughts animatedly.
My curiosity piqued and she could sense it immediately. She assured me that she would show me the letter soon, and lo behold, she kept her word.
I glanced at her words, expecting to see a mention of her parents in the first sentence. But, to my utter delight, the first thing she had written about was her AMBITION. Yes, the caps here are intentional because I want to scream with excitement that my daughter chose to write about her ambition and aspirations over everything else first. To me, this was one of those parenting ‘win’ moments.
Uorfi Javed has been making waves through social media, and is often the target of trolls. So who and what exactly is this intriguing young woman?
Uorfi Javed (no relation to Javed Akhtar) is a name that crops up in my news feeds every now and again. It is usually because she got trolled for being in some or other ‘daring’ outfit and then posting those images on social media. If I were asked, I would not be able to name a single other reason why she is famous. I am told that she is an actor but I would have no frankly no clue about her body of work (pun wholly unintended).
So is Urfi Javed (or Uorfi Javed as she prefers) famous only for being famous? How does she impact the cause of feminism by permitting herself to be objectified, trolled, reviled?
