Women, the source of life.

The mother, the sister, the wife.



To be born a woman is a blessing, for it is she who bears the burden of bringing life upon this earth. For, it is only she who can bear.

For generations, she has been the backbone, the unsung heroine of success for many a successful men. There was a generation when this soul was considered to be worthy of being a decorative piece within the confines of a home. She was deemed to be fit only for household chores and never to be fit to face the outside world and achieve for herself.



Things have changed, how we live our life’s have changed, generations have moved on. Progress in every field is an ever changing fast paced affair and with this change the women has grown in stature. They slowly started coming outside the boundary walls called home and started contributing to society in certain walks of life. Women’s liberation had begun.



The will of a woman is stronger than the might of an elephant and this will has been transforming her every day and motivating her to venture into every field, then proclaimed to be fit for a man. It’s a Man’s world they said. Today, in this emerging global economy, women have grown leaps and bounds and have at times surpassed men in delivering. Even today it is only the women who can be a giver of life, but she has gone beyond this natural gift. They say if a man were to endure the labor pains they will surely die. She has claimed her worthy position in standing tall among the best. This progress is not restricted to the western world.



Today in India, most of the big companies have CEO’s chaired by a woman and those companies have flourished. Kiran Mazumdhar is one such example. If toughness was something only a man can personify, Kiran Bedi has proved that to be a wrong assumption.If managing a multi national powerhouse was considered to be a man’s forte then Indra Nooyi, the pepsico CEO, has proved otherwise.



Today, me as a woman can stand up with pride and can take up any role that a man can and I can say with confidence that I will be able to perform on par and even better than my male counter part.



The next generation would have a statement “It’s a woman’s world after all”
