Before this pandemic ends, be ready to bloom into a better individual; here are five tips to help you be the best version of yourself
A pandemic may come and go, but what you learn in these challenging times matters a lot. This is the right time to look inward and flush out unnecessary items from your inner space. Try to be clean and don’t allow the virus to infect and spoil your emotional independence.
“True independence is when external changes do not influence you, but you stay proactive and drive yourself towards continuous improvement.”
Here are five ways you can achieve inner independence!
We are so dependent on technology that it is eating most of our time. Sometimes it may influence us positively, but you will receive negative vibes from social media as well.
Do not stick to any of your smart devices for long. Even though you use them for your work, keep some time aside to read books and to gain knowledge. Addiction has never led to independence. Cut down your screen time and spend it on inner improvement.
Yes, we are carried away by materialism and forget to live intentionally. These difficult times demand us to be minimalistic, and it is the best time to practise minimalism in your daily life.
Whether it is food, clothes, or any other basic necessity of your life, you should try to be minimalistic. More than that don’t try to restrict the minimalism just for material things in life. You should apply it to your thoughts as well.
Try to be kind, humble, and live without regrets. A responsible woman will choose only those things that are necessary for her family. Being a millennial, we should be a role models to our kids and teach them a minimalist lifestyle.
The pandemic has already changed many things in your life. But, be ready since there is much more to come. It can be changes in your work life or personal life, you should keep an open mind towards everything. A rigid mind can suffer when there is no freedom. An open mind is like a free bird, running water, and it goes with the flow.
Read more and learn more. Be aware of things going on around you. The whole world is suffering in mays ways due to the pandemic. Is there any way you can do something for your neighborhood? Try it out. The satisfaction you get from contributing to a social cause is priceless. Try to get information from right source and platform.
“You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” Mahatma Gandhi
Achieve independence from your emotions, that is the first step towards personal freedom. Never allow your feelings to ruin or control how you function. Never live in misery or spread it to others. You should be proactive, and your actions should inspire your family members.
There are many more ways to achieve personal independence. Every woman whether at home or office, should try all possible ways to be independent and drive her family towards it.
Before this pandemic ends, be ready to bloom as a better individual with inner independence. Humanity has faced many more epidemics, which were worse than the current one. Let us try to build a beautiful future by being independent.

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.
