21-Day Blogging Marathon | Day 3: Write about someone who inspires you

There are many people, who have inspired me at different points in my life. However, the one constant source of inspiration is in my life – as would be for many others - is my mother. I have seen the struggles of her life so closely, from my childhood to adulthood, and even though I did not understand them well for a better part of my life, I am slowly beginning to see the challenges that come with managing three children and a household.

Motherhood - it is a taxing job, which, while rewarding in its own way, can sometimes seem like a tireless pursuit. Which is why I want to dedicate today’s post to all mothers. And while I do not speak from experience, I feel that motherhood (or parenthood in general) is something so powerful – the ability to shape the life of another human being. It requires a great deal of patience and resolve.

Lately, I have been interacting with a lot of working mothers at my workplace. I have witnessed them sharing stories, their daily challenges, and with a lot of enthusiasm, sharing how they overcome these challenges. It is inspiring to see that they are not simply juggling the countless responsibilities that come with motherhood, but really exceling at it. Also, their struggles are not limited to day-to-day responsibilities. More often than not, they extend to larger issues, such as traditionally preserved familial duties and societal expectations.

As a young adult, I feel grateful to be surrounded by so many positive role models. And lastly, to all undefeated women playing the role of a mother, I want to say Thank You!

Thanks Mom! :)

My opinion on - Inferno by Dan Brown

[Warning - Contains Spoilers] Released last year, Inferno is Dan Brown's fourth book in the Robert Langdon Series, the other three being Angels and Demons, The Da vinci Code and The Lost Symbol . Inferno isn't much different from the others, it was a page-turner like all his other books. The story takes off with Langdon waking up in a Hospital in Italy and suffering from retrograde amnesia. A female doctor named Sienna Brooks lets him know of his whereabouts and accompanies him in his journey which includes a sequence of interesting events, involving, of course, a lot of codes and symbols, and the story picks up pace thereafter. There are various puzzle pieces that Langdon needs to put together, which are made up by a ludicrous (also, dead) Geneticist named Bertrand Zobrist, who [SPOILERS] wants to cut down the population of the world by four billion. He commits suicide right at the beginning of the book, but not before creating a plague by the means of which he wan...

21-Day Blogging Marathon | Day 1: 5 Things That Make Me Happy

In the midst of the world locking down, and given the additional amount of time on our hands, I have decided to participate in a 21-day blogging marathon. This is inspired by the 30-day writing challenge on https://lifeentirely.wordpress.com – I have picked up some cool and interesting topics from this blog and customized them to suit my own style. Hope you enjoy it! Day 1: 5 Things That Make Me Happy I like to observe all the things around me and I greatly enjoy the little pleasures of life. Here I am listing 5 random things that bring me a lot of joy: 1. Books, bookshelves, bookstores: I find books to be very beautiful objects. What’s not to love about them? The smell, the feel of the pages, the happiness they give you when they are neatly stacked on a bookshelf next to each other, arranged by genre, author or even color. The sheer number of stories and characters they hold within themselves, and just knowing that you can get to be a p...

Entrepreneurship in India

Editor-in-chief of MiLLENNiAL magazine, Britt Hysen, writes - 60 percent Millenials think of themselves as entrepreneurs, and 90 percent of them consider entrepreneurship to be a mentality. Let's take a look at the latter half of the sentence. Entrepreneurship as a mentality. This is what Entrepreneurship is perceived as in today's day and age. New, innovative and unique ideas are flowing everywhere, and those bringing these ideas to life are millenials, creative and fearless, looking for the double bottom line of making profit as well as providing a valuable service. Look back two or three decades, and the picture is completely different. It was a time when most college graduates were satisfied with the safety of a well-paid job, and didn't dare to look outside of it. Entrepreneurship was considered a phenomenon only pursued by the ambitious Steve Jobses of the world. So what has changed in the short span of twenty, thirty years? The Techno...
