Every year Women’s Day comes and goes with some sort of celebrations in the corporate world. As an urban woman, I always question myself, is it really a big deal being a woman? Closely observing the society strata, our current generations have very well accepted the biological and physical aspect of the so called being a WOMAN!

So, I keep asking myself a question, what as a woman should I be contributing to? Where can a woman-of-today contribute? Can I be a better support for my maids and help?

My today’s dialogue is with myself, and the other urban women like me. The amount of stability and support received from the society today needs to be further extended towards other fragile elements of the society.

Does she love to be celebrated more? Yes. Then as a woman, has she become attention seeking? Does she love being pampered? Again, the answer is Yes!

Woman today should be able to celebrate the many aspects that make her worthy of praise, be able to express boldly and proudly her intellect, her emotions, and leading the way with her experience.

Past more than two decades that I have spent in construction industry, it’s been wonderful journey to work with both men & women.
