Starting A New Business? 7 Key Points To Keep In Mind.
A woman picks up her paints and brushes after decades, and realises that her passion never died, she is still equally good at her art!
Only if life had been a bed of roses,
Or a simple walk in the park.
With a supporting hand, a strong pillar,
Who would always have her back.
A doctor, an engineer, or a teacher,
Or master of her art.
Her creative persona shining through,
In competitions she took part.
Her fingers worked magic,
Works lifelike, leaping out from their frames,
Colours, paints, needles and threads; her constant companions,
Where she always won the game.
Many marvelled at her creations,
Others encouraged and offered words of praise.
She continues on her creative streak,
Sometimes she wondered, will this last in the coming days?
Time caught up, she was now a woman,
No longer the girl with her own free rein.
Supplies and creations, passion and perseverance pushed to the back burners,
“Why do you have to continue your passion?” “What is there to gain?”
So there they lay, all those years,
Gathering dust, waiting patiently for her touch.
And here she toiled, tirelessly to fill
Her family’s appetite, she couldn’t do much.
Hopes, aspirations and dreams, all remained, locked up in the depths of her heart,
Time ticked on, she lost track of that,
Strands of white in her hair, slight wrinkles showing on her face, she was free now!
Sometimes she wondered, what shall I do? I have time on my hand!
Doubtful yet determined, “Why not pick up my brushes again, make a few strokes here and there?”
Her fingers still worked magic, she had not forgotten them after all!
What she couldn’t do then, she could now,
And sometimes she wondered, could she finally rise after her fall?

If a woman insists on her prospective groom earning enough to keep her comfortable, she is not being “lazy”. She is just being practical, just like men!
When an actress described women as “lazy” because they choose not to have careers and insist on only considering prospective grooms who earn a lot, many jumped to her defence.
Many men (and women) shared stories about how “choosy” women have now become.
One wrote in a now-deleted post that when they were looking for a bride for her brother, the eligible women all laid down impossible conditions – they wanted the groom to be not more than 3 years older than them, to earn at least 50k per month, and to agree to live in an independent flat.
Ms. Kulkarni, please don’t apologise ‘IF’ you think you hurt women. Apologise because you got your facts wrong. Apologise for making sexual harassment a casual joke.
If Sonali Kulkarni’s speech on most modern Indian women being lazy left me shocked and enraged, her apology post left me deeply saddened.
I’d shared my thoughts on her problematic speech in an earlier article. So, I’ll share why I felt Kulkarni’s apology post was more damaging than her speech.
If her speech made her an overnight hero among MRAs, sexists, and people who were awed by her dramatic words, then her apology post made her a legendary saint.
