> Although I am writing this on International Women’s Day, I personally do not believe that we have to have a special day to commemorate women … we ought to do it every single day at all moments in our lives. This can not be a politically correct, nice to do thing, it has to be in our bones, in our blood and in our hearts. I started to write this note about another woman that I met recently …. She is 90 plus years old, lives in an ashram in Haridwar … all by herself. Her children live in India but away from her. She has been living in that Ashram for the last 28 years. While going to the ashram, I was expecting to see someone who was old, withering and waiting to somehow spend the last days of her life …. instead I met someone who was old alright, but boy, oh, boy, was she feisty!

>Ooops, I have not written for so long and my apologies. Many stories are waiting to be told and muh sharing is waiting at the doorstep. I have been busy with very little breaks in between to give the right amount of focus and attention to the blog. My apologies 😦But I do want to share with you an interesting program that I and some of my colleagues will be facilitating in Bangalore next month. It is called Gender and Identity. The idea is to explore how we are influenced by our ideas of who we are and a very significant portion of “who am I” is coded in our ideas of the kind of Man or Woman that we believe we are or we wish to be.I am giving below an excerpt from the brochure to give you some details of what will be explored in this program. Do write to me if you are interested to attend or
