In today’s turbulent time and age, when women across our world are responsibly discharging their duties as Presidents and Heads of State, industrialists and entrepreneurs, social activists and sarpanches, we acknowledge and applaud this spectrum of socio-political change witnessed over the last one hundred years.
As we celebrated International Women’s Day (IWD) on 8 March, the global landscape remains a stark reminder that for millions of women ‘equality’ is not a corporate slogan, but a matter of literal survival.
International Women’s Day 2026, under the theme, “Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls”, calls for action to dismantle all barriers to equal justice: discriminatory laws, weak legal protections, and harmful practices and social norms that erode the rights of women and girls, according to the United Nations.
The Delhi Police observed International Women’s Day 2026 holding a series of awareness programmes, outreach initiatives, and community engagement activities across all its districts and units across the national capital.
The Jodhpur Division of the North Western Railway (NWR), the Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation (RSRTC) and the state government have honoured and reposed faith in 'Nari-Shakti' in their respective ways on International Women's Day on Sunday.
The Prime Minister also shared a video highlighting grassroots stories of women’s empowerment over the past decade, saying it offered “a glimpse of how the lives of women have been transformed at the grassroots,” while using the hashtag #NayeBharatKiNariShakti.
They say you cannot quite gauge the depth of a woman's heart! Even Gods cannot! It is like a quiet, deep, slow-swirling mystery where once you set foot, you will be instantly pulled into its folds! Now whether the mystery that you unveil will take you to an unreal magical realm or to your own burning hell depends on how you ended up reaching the gates of this great mystery in the first place!
Women have always been the quiet architects of humanity — the steady hands that cradle generations and the fierce hearts that challenge injustice. They are the foundation upon which families’ stand, the heartbeat that keeps communities alive, and the moral compass that guides nations forward.
Journeys often begin where we least expect them to. Mine certainly did. When I look back today, my path into the world of publishing seems less like a planned career and more like a gradual unfolding shaped by circumstance, learning, and an inner determination to evolve.
I always loved freedom, be it the freedom of running aimlessly in the middle of a widening horizon, or the freedom at the workplace.
