Expressions : Freedom & Power

Do you have a best friend? Does your best friend care for you? Do you listen to your best friend's advice? Do you trust your best friend? Do you love your best friend? Do you encourage your best friend? Do you believe that your best friend chooses best for you? If the answer to all of these questions is YES, then for a minute, let's replace the best friend with YOU, yes YOU. Now  answer these questions. Are you a best friend to Yourself?  Do you take care for yourself? Do you listen to your own voice? Do you trust yourself? Do you love yourself? Do you encourage yourself? Do you believe that you choose the best for yourself? I realised over the years that many of us are extremely good friends, advisors, supporters, lovers, believers, caretakers to others but when it comes to our own self like our own challenges, doubts, beliefs and achieving dreams - we get lost, not knowing how to come out. That is why, after so many years and experiences, I realised it is vital to be your ow...

Being judged?😒 Did I hit your wounded spot? Take few minutes to watch this video, I promise you're in for a surprise. Hope you were able to relate like I did. Aren't we, women judged for our abilities, capabilities, choices, intelligence & ambitions. We go through this every single day unless God is really kind and bless us with extra love someday! No matter how many times women have proved themselves in almost every area of work, even in male dominant sectors, reached the heights of establishments in various forums, be it corporate, business, politics, agriculture, hospitality, e-commerce and many more, yet women as leaders, engineers, finance smart, athletes - the fact is that is not easily digested. Let me share couple of my own experiences, happened some time ago. I found my old pictures from 2006 & 2008 around three months back. In first picture, I was awarded by Kiran Bedi & Kiran Khair for "Excellence in Academics", in AHA Delhi, and other one was ...

I witnessed a beautiful lesson sometime back.. I always believe that "nature teaches us relevant things at right time, in its own special ways." A hawk such a big & strong bird was stuck at the top of a tree, it was just hanging with one wing tangled and other wing towards the ground. A lot of crows started making noise on same tree, we couldn't figure out what was really happening. Was the hawk dead? Were crows torturing it? Why was it hanging like this? Then we realised the hawk was tangled because of Manjha (abrasive string), it's one wing was stuck and it couldn't do much, agonizing in pain. There was another hawk sitting on same tree but didn't move even a bit.. however the crows, they all came together, nearer to the hawk, honestly we were scared as we didn't know what were they doing... one of the crows came to the same branch where the hawk was tangled and hanging, it removed the string and saved the hawk.. wow..❤️ The hawk took the best of its...

This question is quite common in our heads & surroundings. Isn't it? When you read the title, you must have answered as yes or no or maybe. If I be honest, only 2-5% of people reading this would have answered yes within their hearts. I would be glad to know if the percentage is higher than I expected, but let's be honest and that most of you would have answered "no" or "maybe" and some of you may have started counting your achievements so far, only to evaluate whether you are successful or not. I am no different, the word "success" was all about materialistic achievements, because we all have seen the same thing around, taught or made to believe things like higher education degrees, secure and good paying job, high package, branded clothes and shoes, German cars, travelling abroad, casual dining out, owning business, expansions, bank balance, investments and many more as achievements or rather "Success". I believe you relate with this...
