This women’s day let’s salute these silent magicians!

The bed that you left unmade gets back in position; the bathroom which was all wet and messy gets spic and span, the lunches and the dinners are always take care of, the daily vegetables, the rice, and pulses or the detergent to wash your clothes is magically on time! Yes, this is magical and this is done by a silent magician who works day in and day out around you, for a smooth and organized every day! These magicians are none other than the beautiful women who make and maintain your houses, the wonderful housewives!
In an era in which we are living today, everybody is submerged in competition, in work and in succeeding, everyone is constantly running and everyone wants to rise beyond boundaries, but these amazing women are a selfless pillar of strength for the ones who are running around; their husbands, their children, their daughter-in-law, or the other working women members of the house.  Their ambitions and their strength is the success of their loved ones. And it’s their ambition to keep everything in order and everything on time in the house that the others reach some level of success at their workplaces outside.


It’s because of their efforts that the child who was born just yesterday is growing up so well, be it talking, walking, knowing your culture or staying fit it’s all because of the woman at home who devotes all her time and patience, compromises her sleeps at the nights and raises the children to what they become.
Do these women want to reach or work in the outside world too? At times yes, they do. But they happily sacrifice this big and small wish of theirs because they understand the need of balance; they understand the need to be the strong support against which the others can rest.
But do we realize the need to acknowledge them frequently? Not everyone does. I think it’s time that we should understand that ambitions can be both inside and outside of the house, if yours lie in the outside world then theirs lie in the world which is inside your house and is created by them. If your achievements and milestones need to be acknowledged then yes even their achievements and milestones need to be celebrated.
She is the silent manager, accountant, cook, event organizer and at times of need even the nurse of the house. Even with so many jobs that she does at the same time she still manages to look as beautiful as ever. Someday just ask her how she does it all and to your surprise, she may just blush and give you all the credit.

She may be a 27-year-old and a newlywed who stays there for you and your parents, or she may be a 70-year-old who stays where you work just to take care of your family and your children. Yes, these silent magicians exist around us every day and this women’s day let’s just get on our knees and tell them that, they are truly successful and truly magical!

Annoyed by children on board? This read is for you

A recent Instagram post by a well-known celebrity writer read “They should give away free birth control pills on all airlines as a public service.” I juggled for a long time to understand what it meant, but couldn’t until I saw the only hashtag the writer had used as a caption beneath, #annoyingchildrenonboard. This post came after almost a week of relaxing and luxurious holiday that he had in Thailand. As most of the posts by this writer are relatable, at times funny and witty, it took me a while to comprehend what he had written. How could he post such a thing ? I thought, and scrolled through the comments section. In the comments I saw outpouring negativity for little children and their parents inside airplanes. “It’s so irritating!” one comment read, “I wanted to sleep peacefully on my three-hour flight, but the child behind just couldn’t shut up. Why do people produce when they can’t teach their children basic etiquette!!!” “So relatable,” read another, “an annoying baby was cryin

Can we expect Real Growth, from Intelligence that’s Artificial?

Technology has changed so much around us in the past few years, isn’t it? From getting miraculously connected to each other through phones, we have grown multifold since the time mobiles were first introduced. Internet, international connectivity, google search, and social media, we seem to have travelled ahead at the speed of light. While many of us were still adapting to all of this, a big word- artificial intelligence started circulating. Intelligence and artificial, look like two opposite words that have been joined together , is what came to my mind when I first heard about it. Before I could know, this technology, now popular as AI had already infiltrated many apps and websites. Someone asked me if I use ChatGPT, and I got partially shocked to discover what it was. In between all this lately, there was another popular news that mentioned how an MIT graduate had invented a device that could read your mind. He mentioned how it could google questions within your mind and order a p
One I marvel at the clarity that most young adults have nowadays with respect to their careers. Because well, I was an ever-confused young adult; or wait, maybe not. I belong to a family of more or less medicos. Starting from my paternal and maternal grandparents, to my mom, dad, most maternal and paternal uncles, and aunts, we are a family of a wide array of different medical specialists. From dining table discussions about patients to some doctor-patient talk, which I used to overhear while doing my homework in my mom’s clinic; my subconscious mind had accumulated enough data to evoke the hidden medico in me. Thus, I always knew I wanted to be a doctor, a cardiologist if I can be specific. Opting biology and reading text for the premedical entrance examination thus came naturally to me. Clearing the examination with an average rank, good enough to fetch me a college which could grant me a degree, but not as great so as to get me the top-notch colleges then followed. “
