Happy women's day

Happy Women’s Day 

"LET HER TAKE HER TIME !

*When she takes her time* to drink a barely warm cup of tea, let her. She's given her time to cook your meal and serve it to you before she sat to drink her tea.

*When she takes time* to select a dish from the menu, let her. Every day, for every meal she has prepared she has given her time to think about what to make, how much, and for whom.

*When she takes time* to dress up to go out with you, let her. She has given her time to make sure that your ironed clothes are in their place and knows better than you, where your socks are. She has dressed up her child thoughtfully, to look like the most smartly dressed up child around.

*When she takes time* to watch TV mindlessly, let her. She is only half concentrating and has a clock ticking in her head. As soon as it's nearing dinner time, you'll see her disappear to get things ready.

*When she takes time* to serve you breakfast, let her. She has kept aside the burnt toast for herself and is taking the time to serve her family the nicest ones she could manage.

*When she takes time* after her tea to just sit by the window and stare into nothingness, let her. It's her life, she's given you countless hours of her life..

Let her take a few minutes for herself.

_She's rushing through her life, giving chunks of her time whenever needed, wherever needed._ 

_Don't rush her more than she rushes herself._

If you dream big and have determination to achieve it, nobody can stop you!!!

If you dream big and have determination to achieve it, nobody can stop you...Manya Singh from Uttar Pradesh, daughter of a rickshaw driver is true example of this. She has won the Miss India runners-up title. She came to Mumbai by herself and didn't even have money to eat on the train. She studied on the streets, worked at Pizza Hut while her parents didn't have money for her school fees. But none of these situations ever hindered in her growth path. 

Let's salute Adilaxmi: Machine woman from Telangana!!!

2021:Year for women leaders

Women as leaders are more adjustable. They can fit into position so easily and can understand the need of hour and believe in proving  role models for their teams

Women leaders v/s men leaders

Women as leaders have outshined the male leaders as they are generally more cooperative and less argumentative, more collaborative and less competitive.
They generally believe in being role model and believe in team work. Research have proved that women are more transformational as compared to men.

Struggles make you stronger!!!

I still remember the incidence when I saw one butterfly struggling  to get out of the cocoon. 

I couldnot resist to see the struggle and cut the cocoon to get butterfly out. Butterfly did came out but was having swollen body and short wings. 

I , in innocency thought that the wings will grow by time and swelling will go away. I kept watching the butterfly for days. 

Number of days passed by, the wings never grew nor the swelling went off. 

Now I realize that  the restricting cocoon and the struggle was needed by the butterfly to get out through tiny little hole. These were God’s way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings to prepare itself for flying once it was free. 

Struggles makes you stronger!!! 

Women entrepreneurs adversely affected by Covid19

Covid pandemic has adversely affected all sections of society all over the world but it's impact on the female has been higher proportionately.According to a report Mckinsey & Co , female job-loss rates resulting from covid are about 1.8 times those for males.
The increased household burden on women led to reduction in their self-care and even lesser time for their business.
A study conducted by Mint shows 45% of women-led businesses that faced permanent closure do not foresee starting another enterprise ever again. This is alarming.
However, Government of India has taken various steps towards women’s economic empowerment by way of initiatives like Stree Shakti package, Udyogini scheme, Mahila Udyam Nidhi scheme, etc. but in country like ours where we are still striving for equitable environment for women entrepreneurship it becomes more difficult to make understand the worst women has faced during this pandemic.
