Starting A New Business? 7 Key Points To Keep In Mind.
Mother Teresa symbolizes charity, humility and empathy – a woman who reached out to the poorest of the poor.
Born in Macedonia, Mother Teresa first arrived in India in 1929 as a missionary. In 1950 she established the Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta and for more than 45 years, she dedicated her life to help the needy and the sick.
Mother Teresa believed in the dignity of every human being and worked tirelessly for improving the lives of the downtrodden. Her compassion touched and continues to transform the lives of people from varying faiths, nationalities and walks of life. She was awarded the Padmashri Award in 1962 and the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979. In 2003 she was beatified by the Catholic Church.
Why we find her inspiring:
– For ‘being the change’ and showing us that all humans are meant to be treated equally
– For proving that little acts of love and kindness can make an enormous difference
– For her grace, wisdom and faith in the goodness of people
– For leading by example and being a beacon of hope for the underprivileged

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.
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.
