Latest Facts Where Women Stand In India And It's Alarming

By
I just noticed the world economic forum's latest release which has pushed India at 108th position in the list of gender gap rankings. That is awful as our country where the most sanskari ladies are manufactured has jumped down 21 places from the last release of the world economic forum in this regard. 

I request you to take another pick into account before you decide how and why and all that. 
  • The next thing I found pegged into my mind is the Gender Vulnerability Index released by an NGO naming Plan India. With no wonder, we have Bihar at the lowest or I better say the most vulnerable place for women India followed by Uttar Pradesh. Delhi is third lowest in the index.
  • Goa, which I can call the most westernized state of our country, is the at the top of the vulnerability index. Time to admit now that liquor, late night parties and wearing Western outfits are no reason at all to make a place Unsafe for women in India. 
  • With no surprise to me, Kerala has secured the rank of being second best place for gender equality in our country and the point to keep bold and underlined here is that Kerala is and has been since years the state of most educated people in our country. So, education is the solution to the hallowing issue of gender gap faced by all of us.
  • Mizoram is the third best place that supports gender equality in India and I am taking my note from here that it is the people and their mindset and not the facilities and proximity to central policymakers that would make the deteriorating position of women in our culturally nourishing environment. 
The reasoning behind the ranking of world economic forum is primarily based on equal opportunities and equal pay for males and females in a country. We all know how much to expect when a vacancy post states 'only females can apply'. In most jobs, women are not a fit as they are not supposed to be out at work for late hours or are hardly expected to keep their spouses waiting at home when in an urgent meeting. In short, we in India have an unwritten statement in every job description as to whether it is a fit for a woman or not. The more harsh facts are taken from where a girl is born and parents need to console themselves as well as others by stating there is no difference and also from where a typical Indian wedding where the bride side despite bearing the maximum burden of give-ups is considered as lower or less respectable side.
Those who believe the women to be behind their success should also start worrying now as the gender issues would not allow all of you to have one lady luck even behind you. 
The few who have fought the discrimination in the air and have been fortunate enough to come to the top are those who are being named every time on the name of how well we are doing for the women in the country. Sadly, the actual figures include all not just a few on top while showing the entire world how good India is managing it's gender liabilities. 

 Nevertheless, the figures are alarming and we cannot wait for the policymakers to come out with a policy in support of troubled match between men and women in our country.
Time to come on. Breed gender equality in the mind. Education is the best tool for it and the things like what she was wearing or what was she doing at so late in night need to be declared pointless. 

The central ministers have not missed a chance to pat on their back for making India a better place in terms of doing business in the world. Who now is going to take the responsibility of this worsening gender issue in India is what I am waiting to watch!!

My 'Invisible' Accomplishments #DecadeHop #RRxMM

By
As we entered 2020, through this post I am trying to contemplate the coolest, most daring, and most significant feats of my life during the last decade. Now the more I regress my memory, the more I feel there are two types of achievements or accomplishments that I can ponder upon; Visible and Invisible. Visible ones are those that I can count on my finger like a parrot and others can nod also. I got specs on, married to a not-so-romantic man, produced a baby, started writing and added good 17 kgs in my body volume (I was 50 in 2011). However, there are many invisible accomplishments too that either I know silently or very few can assert. From 2011 to 2019, Who am I now From a coy soul to now an outspoken woman, the trek was not easy. I achieved it. From being a no-makeup girl to now a lipstick swatches observer, the transition was tough. But it happened. And from being a sweet hater to now a sweet lover, the change was mysterious yet occurred. And now I can die for Gulab Jamuns....

#MyFriendAlexa - Is Your Blog For Everyone?

By
A Bit of Introduction  Two months back, I joined a new company as a software project manager. And with this, I also shifted to a new city. I could not write much during this shifting time, as there were many other things that needed my attention on priority. With a new job, new city and a new house, I faced challenges of finding a new school for my kid, a new market where I can buy staple items and a new setup for my family which was in habit of living a comfortable life in Delhi. #MyFriendAlexa I took as an opportunity to proffer life back to my blog which was the most neglected entity of my world during this movement and adjustment span. My target is to write 8 posts for #MyFriendAlexa campaign in which 4 will make you a bit more compassionate person, and remaining 4 will make you more informed.

A Letter to Teen Me - Passing wisdom about Motherhood

By
Dear Teen me, I know you have many dreams and aspiration for your future life. I very well understand the hard work that you are putting in for a bright career. I do admire your sense of identity and individualness. You are going great. However, there are few others things, about which I want to make you prepare well ahead.  Life is more than making your own path, especially when you are a woman. God has made women with additional responsibility for running this universe. You know which responsibility? It’s "Motherhood". I know that as of now you don’t have much understanding of this whole motherhood phase and what is being a Mother oneself. But, you see, you will be a Mother one day. And when you are a mother, you carry many other responsibilities on your shoulders other than just living for yourself. You are seeing Amma every day but that is the only single sided view of big Motherhood world. A mother lives for her child also. She lives for the dreams of her kids an...
