OTT brings home movies and web series that open us up to the real world we live in. Yes, there is a lot of trash too. But at least, we have the option of exiting and moving on to the next one. That's not too bad...agreed?
In The Company Of OTT
X For Xue Xinran
Many men continue to consider women incapable of doing even the basic things. On the other hand, books and movies continue to harp on the empowerment of women although on the ground we know that it is still work in progress. Do you agree?
D For Dolly Parton
Women are often forced into acceptance much against their will. Yet, just because people wouldn't accept or don't approve, it is not necessary to give in. The good news is, the change has begun. Do you agree?
Questions, Questions…Tired of Them!!
As the new year dawns, let us tell ourselves that while we break glass ceilings, let us also put our foot down where we must!
MotherHood Vs. Career: Is There Need To Make A Choice?
Thousands of women in India and across the globe are questioned about their decisions to have a child while being employed. It is as if you have a make a choice whether you want to climb the corporate ladder or raise a child. Apparently, you can't do both!!
Homemakers Deserve Respect Too
Managing a home also requires planning, multitasking and organization skills-- why doesn't it get the respect it deserves? Isn't it time we thought a little deeper on this and stop questioning those qualified women who decide to be homemakers instead of CEOs? Their sacrifices and contribution needs to talked and written about more so that housewives need not feel awkward about introducing themselves in public.
The Real Offering for Dussera
This Dussehra let's promise ourselves that we will not allow women to suffer in silence but rather offer any help possible. That's the true offering to goddess.
Bend It Like…
Women don't need to 'fit in' in boxes that are uncomfortable. Sometimes in life, tough choices have to be made, irrespective of what the society thinks or says, so that you can be peaceful at the end of each day. Meghan Markel, the Duchess of Sussex, motivates us to do just that. It's time we bend it like her.
Let “Equality” Begin At Home
Equality among men and women is still work in progress and women are still way behind on that turf. But if we begin the "Equality Project" at home, it will do good for the future. Instead of passing the blame, let's get to some action!
Every Day is Special, Everyone is Important
Let's not get carried away by the attention we receive on a single day each year. Every day is special and everyone is important, not just women. Let's not forget those men who sacrifice so that we may shine. Unless there is a balance women empowerment is not complete.
#MeToo
As long as women and girls don't feel safe and empowered, merely using the #MeToo hashtag has no meaning. We must strive to involve men and together root out violence and sexual assault against women at home and in public places. Let's work towards creating a safe world for our future generation of girls.
Stand Up Against Domestic Violence
A book that hits and provokes you into action. What do you do when your dream marriage turns into the worst nightmare in just a few days shattering your self respect and reducing you to his idealist version of a obedient wife? Will you stay on? Will you walk out?
