Starting A New Business? 7 Key Points To Keep In Mind.
A husband wanting to separate - why will he think of what she wants, how she feels, what she will face, how to tell the kids?
Ever felt the lull in the light? The usual 1pm Sunday sunlit room, as you dust the book shelf.
The idlis are cooking, The coconut chutney aroma fills the home, The kids are busy with their colourbooks, and the TV plays in the background.
There is peace, but then why is your heart anxious?
“But, can you be home for one Sunday?” “What will one Sunday change?” “For the kids..” “For the kids, we are just separating..” “Was there ever any love?” “There will always be love..” “Just not the same kind of love?” “There are many kinds of love…” “Why can I not have that one kind of love?” “Because people love differently…. haven’t we discussed this before?”
The pressure cooker whistle blocks all other noises “Mama, I think it’s ready!!”
What will a tag do? It will liberate you.. The expenses? Well, many have it worse than you.. have some faith in yourself.. The love? It was never yours.. The kids? You tell them the truth..
A known tap on the hand directs you to the familiar smile, “Mama, it’s ready!” Another set of little fingers hold your hand, “Mama, let’s go! It’s ready…”
“So am I… come let’s eat.”
Some decisions are hard until taken.

Most of my women clients are caregivers—as mothers, wives and daughters. And so, they tend to feel guilty about their ambitions. Belief in themselves is hard to come by.

“I don’t want to take a pay cut and accept the offer, but everyone around me is advising me to take up what comes my way,” Tanya* told me over the phone while I was returning home from the New Delhi World Book Fair. “Should I take it up?” She summed up her dilemma and paused.
I have been coaching Tanya for the past three months. She wants to change her industry, and we have been working together on a career transition roadmap.
Asking women of the office to welcome guests with bouquets at business and social events is blatant tokenism and sexism at the same time!
Asking women to welcome guests with bouquets at business and social events is blatant tokenism and sexism at the same time!
Why is the task of handing over bouquets to dignitaries at social and business events primarily a feminine task?
This question nags me endlessly. I cringe at the sight of women waiting in a loosely formed queue at the steps leading up to the stage at these events.
