Because we make up 50% of India!

Crimes against women are increasing in the blink of an eye. It is also seen in the surveys of many big organizations that men see women as a pillow for their anger and treat them as a punching bag.

THE PALACE OF ILLUSIONS : A BOOK REVIEW

The writing style of the author is so elegant and beautiful.Best thing about this book is that the writer has been wonderfully successful in blowing  reader's mind by narrating the incidents in super poignant way .I think this book is a must-read for all the feminists out there.The story in this book revolves more around Draupadi unlike other versions of Mahabharata where it is more about the males of the epic. This book got widely praised by international magazines like the NEW YORK TIMES.It portrays Draupadi as powerful,de...

Technology has indeed made everything easier .Today, it has become so smooth for people to get motivated with the help of technology .In the modern technological era, individuals spend a crucial part of their time watching motivational videos on YouTube,Instagram ,Facebook, etc..They do so in the hope that these contents  will motivate them enough to accomplish big tasks of their life.Motivation which we get from external sources is temporary and does not last longer.  Motivational videos,quotes, etc. are really helpful but the encouragement we get from them are momentary.The real motivation is not transient but gradual and deeper.
