But does history repeat itself? No. Not today. Today, she wages the war herself. She alters an erred history all by herself.
The woman clad in red saree
Stood in the middle of the court
Ripples of blood run along her thighs
Shadows of tyrannical pillars
And the gaze of vile men
Befall her like arrows
Fires rage in her eyes
Her clothes half torn
Stained of dishonour
Stenches of barbaric men
Who dragged her mercilessly.
But does history repeat?
No. Not today.
Today, she wages the war herself.
She dethrones the draconian king
Spits upon her impotent husbands
Burns the feeble sages
Seduces the rest shamelessly
Lures them onto her bed
Slits their throats
Drinks their blood
Screams like a savage
Runs out the palace
Climbs up the trees
Dances with eunuchs
Sings tales of witchery
Rips the muddy earth
Swallows the oceans
And eats the sapphire skies.
And for once,
An erred history was altered.

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.
