A Day for Beautiful and lovely species on earth: WE the WOMEN


All the time, we say, we hear, we read, we listen, we know that you and me should respect Women.

We are blessed to have amazing mother and sisters on earth. We are even more blessed to have lovely female friends around us. On this very special day, I salute them by writing about them.
Everyone has got some female role models, an inspiration, and a hero whom they admire and aspire to be in their life, some visionary. Lot of people talk about their mother/ sister/ grand ma/ teacher/ colleague/ boss/ spouse etc. Let’s talk about someone who we admire and wish to be ……

One of the celebrity and social activist whom I really look up to:

Nandita Das:

An Award winning actress she is, won many accolades for her performances in many of her films. Her directorial debut Firaaq has won lot of international and national awards.

I really admire with the fact that she is a wonderful artist, theatre actor, director, social activist,  teacher, dubbing artist, affectionate mother and wife and first Indian to be inducted in hall of fame of international women’s forum, Washington DC.

Her dedication towards the career and personal life speaks volumes. She has done great job by volunteering for children welfare and society. She wears many hats and her passion towards the art and social movements surprises me and at the same time inspires me to a greater extent. I so wish to be like her by focusing on my role as a career woman and also fulfill my role in my personal life.

A sister I never had: A sister I want to be:

“Sister. She is your mirrorShe is your witness, who sees you at your worst and best, and loves you anyway. She is your partner in crime, your midnight companion, someone who knows when you are smiling, even in the dark. She is your teacher, your defense attorney, your personal press agent, even your shrink. Some days, she's the reason you wish you were an only child.” ---------------------------- Barbara Alpert

I always thought how my big sister would be like. In my childhood, I used to tell my mother that next I want a big sister as I already have one big and loving brother ( he is too cool)  not aware of the fact that whoever comes after me would be called as my younger sibling. How innocent I was! My parents would laugh.

I see many of my friends who always bitch about their elder sister, at times they missed their sisters when she travels, at times they had a cat fights. Both of them can’t stand each other but cannot live without each other. I have my cousins whom I consider very close to my heart. We fight, we can go on talking all night, we laugh our heart out; we can’t stay without seeing each other ( 4 days gap also sounds too long for us, we call each other and say,” it’s been ages since we have met”). I do really think that I am fulfilling the role of a big sister or I really wish to continue fulfilling and aspire to be one. 

I have some friends whom I consider my elder loving sister, for example Ashwini Hari – she is darling and a sweetheart. She calls me chellam sweetly and sometimes kutty chathan. He heJ But I sometimes miss a big sister whom I can have always at home, write about her, fight with her, steal her best dress for party or night outs, hug her and sleep, pull her leg at times in front  of my parents, share secrets about my crushes and the list goes on.

I would like to know who you guys have in your mind. Please share your views and express your opinions about the women you wish/ aspire to be and the women you look up to.

Thank You all.

Hugs and Cheers,

Saranya

PURPLE HIBISCUS – The fragrance of Hope and Freedom will be etched in your hearts forever

“I wanted to tell Mama that it did feel different to be back, that our living room had too much empty space, too much wasted marble floor that gleamed from Sisi’s polishing and housed nothing. Our celing was too high. Our furniture was lifeless: the glass tables did not shed twisted skin in the harmattan, the leather sofas’ greeting was a clammy coldness, and the Persian rugs were too lush to have any feeling. But I said, “You polished the etagere.” " The above text appears when Jaja and Kambili return from Nsukku, their Aunty Ifeoma’s house, and witness their place as dull and lacking warmth even though the house glistened like a palace. The warmth that Aunty Ifeoma’s house had carried during the days they spent despite having a nondescript house and where they prayed every day for Peace and Laughter. Laughter among all the things. Because Laughter was valued in their house everyday despite living with shortcomings something that Kambili hardly got to experience in own h

Schedule joy: A Crucial Tip That Kept Me Sane

  Though there are self-care practitioners, influencers and life coach who practice and encourage people to practice self-care, we don’t practice it ourselves until there is a severe push or introspection. The precursor to start a habit is always our own willingness to practice it. We should fully be consumed with the idea to be able to produce it in full force. You must have heard buy first, pay later. Here also you need to buy the idea of the habit first but the difference is once the habit is formed and sustains in your routine, you are getting paid by its multi-fold benefits. My cousin and I had a conversation just recently when he was in India. A chance question sent me on the lane of introspection. I was absently gazing at nothingness when he asked me mainly because I was not able to produce a suitable reply. Firstly, I stared in disbelief for the question was unusual and secondly that made me go inward to seek answer and put forth as a justified reply. A simple question it w

Positivity in Tee: Reading between the Errands

  You cannot run from positive affirmations even if you think you have run out of them.   They will come, looking for you. All you have to do is keep your eyes wide open and graciously receive them with warmth and care. They can come to you at any moment and from any quarter perhaps, while running errands like when the momentum has picked up in you to array the disarray in your child’s wardrobe. When that happens, you treat them as a little note, an epiphany or a sacred sign from the universe and insert them as a key that locks itself into your mind with an audible click, only to unlock a change in you and get reflected in every journey you embark. When your little one’s Tees mouth affirmations, you cannot just run away without glancing at it. Start small, dream big, repeat – Starting small and repeating them with consistency is so underrated these days. So much of today’s world is rooted in instant gratifications and making it big in a wink of time. Small, incremental progress is th
