A heartfelt poem about the journey of being a woman! 'I have created life and I have nurtured souls, I have met some, missed some and created more life-goals.'
I look back in the journey of time I see a carefree girl with a pure smile.
She is happy and adventurous and roams the wild path, Oh, if she really knew she has to face life’s wrath.
But I am a woman, no more that girl, a woman who has seen it all,
I have fought, loved, won and lost, I have done things I’d have never thought.
Living the life of a woman is full of challenges, smiles, tears and bravery
I have been held high, admired and adored,
I have been shredded to pieces, hated, and ignored.
I have won hearts, I have let many down, I wear my scars of soul and body, like a crown.
I have made friends, I have made foes, some people I thought as friends, I have let them go.
I have created life, and I have nurtured souls, I have met some, missed some, and created more life goals.
I have travelled the world and connected with strangers, I have learned that too much attachment can be a danger.
I have gained weight and have had no time for makeup, but I am a better person with more patience and peace when I wake up.
At peace with my wrinkles, the undone eyebrows, the stretch marks, and the frizz, my life is not about a pretty face, but my achievements, my work, and my dreams.
I have lived different roles and wore different masks, smiled through worries, and cried happy tears, and I know that I am more than the beauty that often wears.
I am the woman who has been tested through time, have passed few but failed more in sublime.
I long to be the free girl but I know I am a better person now, I am a woman who knows that life is about whys and not about the hows.

India Sweets And Spices is a film showcasing a classist NRI society and how the younger generation is trying to break the stereotypes.
I had been waiting to watch Geeta Malik’s India Sweets and Spices ever since it buzzed in the news that the film was being shot in my hometown of Atlanta.
The movie premiered at the Tribeca Festival in New York on June 12, and I had the opportunity to watch a film I had been eagerly waiting for.

Feminism. The practically infamous F word that makes people uncomfortable within just seconds. Not just men, but everyone who has internalized patriarchy in general feels so threatened, that they do not even want to listen.
There are women who spend their whole lives trying to make something of themselves, standing up for themselves and their rights. But no matter how hard they try, there’s still an underlying tone of ‘rebellion’ in this progress and it is brushed off as being ‘arrogant’.
I swear there are days when I want to be rid of this crying infant. I want my life to go back to what it was before her. I want normal!

Anupama Dalmia. A feminist blogger with a compelling voice, yet a very humble and down-to-earth person and friend. What makes her tick?
“Sometimes learning about something involves unlearning. So, always keep your mind open if you truly want to evolve into a better and more sensitive person in life. Also, fear is a normal emotion. But, do not let it bog you down and become an obstacle in your path. Yes, you might fail or falter but what if you don’t? It is the latter thought that has always helped me take decisions which everyone terms as ‘risky’. The opportunities are endless if you are ready to take the plunge,” states 36-year-old Anupama Dalmia who is one of the top bloggers and influencers of the country.
Endless opportunities….that she has not only created for herself but for so many people around her, including her mother who is 60 plus!

And not to forget Tingle Your Taste Buds, a cooking website co-owned along with her mother, Usha Dalmia.
