In the quiet strength of every woman’s heart,
A fire burns, a dream, and a work of art.
With courage in your soul, you will reach the sky,
Let no one hold you back, let your spirit fly high.
Rise high, oh mighty women, strong and bold,
Your stories and your power yet untold.
Break through the chains that seek to bind,
With fierce determination, free your mind.
In every step you take, a path is cleared,
For others to follow, cast away their fears.
Your wisdom, love, and grace will pave the way,
To brighter, bolder, and a more inclusive day.
From history’s pages to the future’s unknown,
Your strength and resilience brightly shown.
In unity and purpose, you will find,
The power to rise, to uplift humankind.
With unwavering resolve and hearts afire,
You’ll conquer any challenge, reach higher and higher.
Embrace your worth, let your voices soar,
In sisterhood and strength, forever more.
So, women, let this be your guiding star,
Embrace your power, no matter who you are.
Rise high, inspire, and lead the way,
For a brighter future dawns with each new day.
Let us motivate each and every women around.

I huffed, puffed and panted up the hill, taking many rest breaks along the way. My calf muscles pained, my heart protested, and my breathing became heavy at one stage.
“Let’s turn back,” my husband remarked. We stood at the foot of Shravanbelagola – one of the most revered Jain pilgrimage centres. “We will not climb the hill,” he continued.
My husband and I were vacationing in Karnataka. It was the month of May, and even at the early hour of 8 am in the morning, the sun scorched our backs. After visiting Bangalore and Mysore, we had made a planned stop at this holy site in the Southern part of the state en route to Hosur. Even while planning our vacation, my husband was very excited at the prospect of visiting this place and the 18 m high statue of Lord Gometeshwara, considered one of the world’s tallest free-standing monolithic statues.
What we hadn’t bargained for was there would be 1001 granite steps that needed to be climbed to have a close-up view of this colossal magic three thousand feet above sea level on a hilltop. It would be an understatement to term it as an arduous climb.
Why is the Social Media trend of young mothers of boys captioning their parenting video “Dear future Daughter-in-Law, you are welcome” deeply problematic and disturbing to me as a young mother of a girl?
I have recently come across a trend on social media started by young mothers of boys who share videos where they teach their sons to be sensitive and understanding and also make them actively participate in household chores.
However, the problematic part of this trend is that such reels or videos are almost always captioned, “To my future daughter-in-law, you are welcome.” I know your intentions are positive, but I would like to point out how you are failing the very purpose you wanted to accomplish by captioning the videos like this.
I know you are hurt—perhaps by a domestic household that lacks empathy, by a partner who either is emotionally unavailable, is a man-child adding to your burden of parenting instead of sharing it, or who is simply backed by overprotective and abusive in-laws who do not understand the tiring journey of a working woman left without any rest as doing the household chores timely is her responsibility only.
