On the Occasion of Women’s Day: - Ms. Smita Joshi, Vice-President (Exports)

Here’s to the good women,

May we know them,

May we be them,

May we raise them

We hear a lot about women empowerment, gender equality, and feminism as it makes you look cool! However it only remains an office fancy. I urge the men to ponder and try to take a bit back home.

It’s fascinating to see a working women cooking at 5 AM, putting the child on the school bus at 7 AM, hanging on the local train at 8 AM and showing up for a corporate meeting at 9 AM as decked up and refreshing as she can be, showing no signs of being tired.

Women don’t need to be empowered…They already are way too powerful. A little encouragement would be good though.

Today there is a growing fad in women to try to prove that they can do every job a man can.. we need to sit back and understand that we were born to do things a man can’t do.

Just be yourself!

We need to believe and put efforts in doing what each one of us is best at! We can do everything brilliantly!

We create, we nourish, and we give life! We turn a house into a home.

We don’t need a special treatment....Just an equal one!

We don’t need to be over compensated, just equally compensated.

In us lies the future of the families, communities and the country.

Let us do more of that but also not forget ourselves, our purpose, our dreams, our goals, our cherished small desires that are long forgotten, our fears that we always wanted to overcome and above all our health.

I’d like to take this opportunity to wish every women @ Sutlej a very happy women’s day and every man to help her become one!

Go out and live your dreams, unleash your potential, face your fears and turn your dreams into a reality!!
