From packing our lunch every day to running behind us to ensure we didn\u2019t forget to carry an extra pen for the upcoming exam to staying back a little longer at the restaurant because it\u2019s late and we don\u2019t feel safe alone to keeping our secrets since the time we were born, women have always been with us at the eye of the storm called our life. Adorning different forms from a mother to a daughter to a sister to a friend to a wife, the women in our lives have forever impacted the way we perceive<\/a> the world around us. Acknowledging, appreciating, and cherishing these women in our lives, we here at The Talented Indian are dedicating this year\u2019s International Women\u2019s Day to these unsung ever-inspiring candles of hope and joy in our lives, who deserve a 3000 mega-phone worthy shoutout<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

~<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The women in our lives play pivotal roles, whether it’s our mothers cooking school lunches every morning, elder sisters completing assignments, or that one girlfriend who knows all our secrets. Today, we celebrate these women who are the wind beneath our wings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me, it\u2019s my mother who is the epitome of strength and resilience in my life\u2014 the most important woman to me. She stood by me and believed in me when I couldn’t believe in myself. The first person I ever fell in love with, even before I showed up in this world. Truly, she is my backbone, the wind beneath my wings, who continues to inspire me every day and is the centre of my existence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The girlfriends I found on my journey through studies, work, and life, in general, are strong anchors who have made life incredibly beautiful and meaningful. I could not have become what I am today without each one of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seeing all your friends getting married and siblings getting married, there does come a point in a woman\u2019s life where no matter how successful she truly is all anybody cares about is, \u201cWhen are you getting married?\u201d Brought up in a traditional conservating family, my sister Sagnika Das has had to face this every day in her life ever since she reached the \u201cmarriageable age\u201d. She tried her hands at dating but just couldn\u2019t find a good enough person and with the way the dating scene has been lately, can you truly blame her?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, when love marriage was out of the question arranged marriage entered the picture, but even then she just couldn\u2019t find someone who would do right for her. And just like every other family, our family harped the horn of, \u201cOh, stop being so picky. You have a lot of flaws, so why are you looking for someone flawless?\u201d. In short, she was asked to settle. But surprise surprise! She didn\u2019t. Because she knew how important a marriage truly is and she just can\u2019t settle with any random Tom, Dick and Harry, for the sake of silencing a few relatives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the midst of all this, her mother, my aunt, was diagnosed with Dementia, and her condition was deteriorating every waking hour. And while the entire world started pointing out how it was all due to the stress of finding a groom for my \u201cpicky\u201d sister, she threw herself into keeping up with how to help her mother cope every day. The words from outsiders stung, but the condition of her mother hurt even more. But she never faltered when it came to taking care of her mother. She truly is a remarkable and inspiring woman who has her priorities in order and won\u2019t let the world tell her it\u2019s not right just because it doesn\u2019t align with their orthodox priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She once disclosed to me, that her lifelong dream was not to get married but rather to adopt a child, to give a home to a child who truly needs it. Coincidentally my lifelong dream is to save all the street puppers from the street as every paw deserves all the love in the world. So, this Woman\u2019s Day I am proudly declaring that men may come and go, and marriages may never last long, but Didi<\/em>, our dream of building a big orphanage with a dog ranch shall one day come true! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although I can\u2019t find you a groom who can hold such a cosmic entity in their hands without burning them in the process, I will ensure your glow and shine never dull as you stride on this Earth helping each kid with your kind and resilient self. To the woman who is a literal embodiment of what feminism truly is at its essence, thank you for inspiring me every waking minute of my life (and also for saving me from going broke :)).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On this Women\u2019s Day, I\u2019d like to take a moment and appreciate my mother. I\u2019ve always seen her as a dragon. Now don\u2019t get me wrong, I\u2019m not talking about the \u201cbreaths fire and smacks you with their tail\u201d kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I see her as this majestic being who is fiercely protective of her loved ones and inspires me every day. Always there to protect me from even the slightest threat and does her best to ensure I live and love my life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whenever I go to her for any issue I have the takeaway from those conversations will always be – \u201cit\u2019s just this one life you have don\u2019t lose out on it because of people or circumstances, yes they can affect you and bring you down but do not let it stay that way, you are made of all the things fierce and gentle at the same time, go show the world what you can do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A message I\u2019d like to share with all women out there. Hope this inspires you as much as it does to me. Happy Women’s Day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wo|men| are a wonder. God took his time to create them. And they as a whole, possess the ability to create, nurture and inspire change. Women deserve to be celebrated every day and I witness little incidents of this daily. From a random girl on the street complimenting another stranger for her well-made braid to my roommate hyping me after waking from a nap; women celebrate women. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me, two women in my life have constantly inspired me – my mother and my younger sister. As I look back on time, I see how my mother herself grew while bringing up her first daughter – me. She learned in her life that being perfect is not what is always required. But being confident in yourself is what is always important. She learned to appreciate and value herself with time. These are the two most important aspects of life she has inculcated in me. My younger sister is in her growing years, but she unknowingly teaches me the art of living life. All through her ‘live in the present’ and ‘enjoy your own company’ attitude. They make me how I am – perfectly imperfect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nevertheless, all the women in my life who I have come across have given me something to take back. And they deserve all the love and appreciation. Be it my girlfriends, my teachers, my relatives, my colleagues or the strangers I see wonderfully acing their part of lives with a smile; they are all champions! And lastly, I celebrate myself as someone who is falling, healing and growing while turning into a strong and independent woman!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The women in my life have played a major role in shaping me into who I am today. Today let me take a moment to introduce a few of them to you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mumma<\/em>: My mumma<\/em> is the strongest woman I have ever seen. I have learned from her how to balance professional and personal life and how to keep both separate. Thanks, mumma <\/em>for letting me learn by observing you working every day. For helping me understand the value of keeping my personal and private life separate and thriving in both equally. Thanks for planting the seed of making decisions based on what is right and wrong according to me. And most importantly thank you for teaching me to be humble. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My sister: She’s the second mom to me. She has nurtured me, given me love care and everything I could ever ask for. She’s the go-to woman for all my cries and laughs. She taught me how to be strong enough to face the realities of the world. She gives me strength in every sense possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My tai<\/em> mumma<\/em>: She’s a homemaker but she’s a woman with all the culture and ethnicity. I learned my mother language from her. Today when I talk in my native language, people exclaim over how fluent I am in it. It’s all because of my tai mumma<\/em> and her consistent attempt at communicating with me in my native tongue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My girlfriends: My girlfriend Anushka gives me power in unsaid ways. She ensures to question me so that I know why I am doing a certain thing in a certain way. She never lets me hide myself and lets me be me. My girlfriend Bulbul is the calmest woman in my life and my desi<\/em> girl. Her empathy is truly limitless. And the way she’s just been there for me, words truly can\u2019t describe it better. Amidst all the chaos in my life, she’s my home away from home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All women around the world have power and strength and inspire me in their ways. But these few are the ones who encourage me daily. They help me better myself and most importantly become a better human being. Love you my ladies <3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
