a month before new zealand prime
minister jacinda adam
won her second term in a landslide
election victory
during lockdown i developed a habit of
watching tv news sitting beside my
father
he used to follow the u.s election
closely and cheer for joe biden
while watching one of the news bulletin
my eyes struck on a lady standing beside
mr biden
i heard mr biden addressing her as
kamala
i told my father her name sounds like an
indian
my father told me she is an indian
origin who is going to be the first
woman
vice president of america
he also told me that priyanka
radhakrishnan
became the first ever indian origin
minister
in jacinda aden’s extremely diverse
cabinet at new zealand
i felt overjoyed hearing that news
i’m glad to see such a fantastic
platform for women around the globe
there are plenty of stories of
successful women in india as well
women at work women in leadership women
in sports
etc it is great to see you start in that
direction
turning our attention out to some of the
amazing women from
india who inspired me the most
recently i started reading books of
sudamurti
and now i’m a big fan of her like her
books
her life is also a great inspiration
during her engineering she was the only
one
girl out of 600 students in college
and out of hundreds of engineers at her
first job
she was the only female engineer from a
bright student
to a supportive wife and an incredible
social servant
she’s an amazing example of womanhood
coming to sports do you know who is
holding the record for the most number
of runs in one day cricket
i’m sure everybody knows it’s our
favorite sachin tendulkar
but are you aware of the fact that two
indians holding the record
for the most number of runs and wickets
in women monday international cricket
they are mithali raj and julen goswami
like them there are many other women
sporting legends who have made india
proud over years
maricom pb sindhu himadas vinish bogad
are a few names in a very long list
now girls are finding their place in the
international sports arena
and flying the indians flag higher
i’m very proud to say that i’m living in
a country
where a woman won nobel prize for
devoting her life
caring for sikkim poor yes
she’s mother teresa my biggest
inspiration
i consider her as my hero because
she opened clinics for the ones who are
almost dying
also she made a school for the poor kids
so they would have an education
mother teresa never gave up helping the
poor
having several leaves i would like to
add some of my personal experience as
well
like everyone else i have experienced
loving care for women
first and through my mother and
motherhood is always considered to be
an ideal of womanhood mothers love and
care
have profound a long lasting impact in
developing a character of the child
who can resist a good story especially
when it’s been told by grandma
[Music]
as i said in the beginning i used to
read books of sudamouji recently and i
enjoy them
i find them soothing simple and quick
reads
i also like a storytelling style
in her books a grandma tag of stories
aji the grandmother
used to tell lots of stories to a
grandchildren
the stories entertain educate and
provide awesome enjoyment to her
grandchildren
aji is a strong woman and like her my
grandmother is a remarkable woman
as well i look at them like a source of
wisdom
and security and through them i have
experienced
warm kindness laughter and love

the great thinker iris total once said
teachers deserve more honor than parents
because while parents gave them birth
the teachers ensures the students good
life
i’m fortunate to meet some amazing women
in my life
as my teachers they have found guidance
friendship
discipline and love
for a seven-year-old girl like me it’s a
very promising fact that
i’m going to a world which i want to see
where every woman have a chance to take
up any opportunity coming in their way
beat a leader running a country
or a hospital heads a household and
raises a children giving unconditional
love and care
so in my perspective womanhood is not
defined just by physical traits
but it comprises of a larger dimension
such as
leadership equality discipline
love and care thank you very much and
have a good day
