Women empowerment refers to the creation of an environment for women where they can make decisions of their own for their personal benefits as well as for the society. Rabindranath Tagore has mentioned in his novel, The Home and the World,” For we women are not only the deities of the household fire, but the flame of the soul itself.” These powerful words of Rabindranath Tagore themselves explain the importance of women in our society. The wisdom of a woman in a family binds it with a feeling of…

How would you react to an obese 12-year old girl sweating in the gym like there was no more tomorrow? Some people would admire her for the determination she is showing. However, the world is not only about commending people for what they have done or inspiring them to improve more.

What is shame? When I think of it, it is like a wound, a complex problem that I can never solve. Nobody at home or school will teach you how to move through shame. Just like Dick Gregory, I struggle a lot with shame. The main source of the shame must be my parents' parenting style. I am the eldest granddaughter in the family so everyone has high expectation for me. My parents always urge and criticize me if I did not perform perfectly or in the way they want. When I was in primary school, my…

know the greater meaning of a leader once I have listened to many presentations and by reading many materials. When I realize the definition of a leader I felt I have the quality of a leader by now. Just to share one incidence I have coordinated a badminton match for MBA students in the indoor at one point of time. The tournament went very well. We had great time by coming together. The togetherness was fully made with the presence of all those who participated as well who came for watching the…

Not only do I absolutely suck at sports anything to do with teamwork, but am completely and utterly useless when it comes to any physical activity- and my anxiety really does not help with the fitness testing aspect of it. However, not long ago, I learned that I can talk to someone about it, explain my problems, and they will try to help me figure something out; doing this not only saves other people time, but it greatly…
