We own it

Women entrepreneurs in India have come a long way!

Isn't this true?

I mean, just look at Ms Nair! 


Yes! Ms Falguni Nair, the founder of NYKAA, in other words, The Achelois for women.

Isn't she the best example of how far she justifies the title of my blog "We own it".

A graduate of the Indian Institue of Management, Ahmedabad, Ms Nair spent the bulk of her career--over 18 years--at Kotak Mahindra, she left the job to pursue her own dream. In 2012, she started company Nykaa, which sells online cosmetic and wellness products. Today the company has become so famous among Indian women. The company offers more than 850 brands and has introduced 35 physical stores. In 2017, she got the title of "Most powerful business" by Business Today. She also received the "women Ahead" award at The Economic Times. Since 2014, The company has been a partner with Femina.

I've read it somewhere-- "Dear optimist, pessimist, and realist - while you guys were busy arguing about the glass of wine, I drank it! Sincerely, the opportunist".

And, today's women is what she is, An opportunist. Be it Ms Indra Nooyi, The board member of Amazon or MS. Ritu Kumar, The fashion designer, She owns it! Women own it! We own it!

It borders on cliche, but female entrepreneurs really do it all, juggling startups, day jobs, and chock-full personal lives. Women today have understood that failure is not the opposite of success, but it's a part of success.

As a woman, I need to accept that it is not necessary that I will always make the right choices, that I will at some point or the other screw up royally, But I will work really hard at trying to see the big picture and will not get stuck in ego. And, as a woman, you need to understand this too.

If you dream it, you can do it. That's what these women entrepreneurs had in mind when they were trying to achieve their goals. It doesn't matter if you're not experienced yet; you have all the potential to become a kick-ass entrepreneur as long as you believe in your powers.

Success is just an easy word, But living this word brings struggle and failure. But, I believe we're all put on this planet for a purpose, and we all have a different purpose... When you connect with the love and that compassion, that's when everything good unfolds.

So, the bottom's up for all the women entrepreneurs out there!

Thank you for reading:)

The deepest path...

Image
The deepest path you will ever take starts with- Everything around me is collapsing, Like a falling Jenga tower. You suddenly rouse at midnight, to the pitter-patter of rain, Believing that heaven is crying for you, Gawking at the whirls of the fan above you, Night after Night... And then, One fine summer you cotton on, That you cannot turn round the ratchet of time. To the point that everything under the sun happens for a reason, Be it for good or worse. That your life isn't a fallen Jenga tower, But a jigsaw, where the part missing is nothing but you. That you've been lost in your own trapped mind. But now, the deepest path you ever took, Had led you from a nightmare to a fairytale, Where you choose to heal your untouched wounds, Where you choose to control the rain of your haven, The clouds of your self-doubt, The storm within you, The summer of your happiness, And,  The winter of your own emotions. The deepest path you ever take is backbreaking. It's maddening. And, you...

It's time

It's time I let myself be happy, to let go of everything and everyone that does not empower my own greater good. To say goodbye to everything that does not support my growth. It's time to let myself feel better, to do things that make me feel my best without feeling an ounce of guilt for it. It's time to put myself first; to dive into the depths of what it really means to be who i want to be. It's time to review my brain, to replace damaging thoughts with the healing ones. to tell myself nice things about the person I am, and the person i have been. To embrace my own evolution. So. it's time to let myself be happy. to set new intensions. To lose. To gain. To become. And to actively work to befriend my own worthiness. I deserve to be around people who help me grow my mind. I deserve to have moments of pure, intense happiness; the kind that makes me feel that everything will be okay. I deserve to be happy and you do too. Everyone, you and me and everyone deserves to b...

The Guest House

Image
 . Rumi once said; "This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. . Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond" Who are these guests? Being human is nothing but it is like a guest house to a new guest. These guests are our emotions and unexpected moments of realisation of how feelings take turns. And each one serves a purpose. No wonder Rumi was a superstar. Feelings are guests in the name of joy, happiness, sadness, grief, loss, depression, shame, malice, and so on which are not permanent, they come, do their part and go. The way I understand this is that every emotion is simply a guest. No emotion is ever permanent. Why then? Why do we hold on to grief or loss or pain? Why do we hate pain or loss or sorrow, to the extent where we disagree to even feel them? Pain is so much excruciating, and happiness is less delightful because we try to escape from these feelings. Suffering is inevitable. To hurt is to be human, and ap...
