Wishing a very Happy International Women's day to all those wonderful and glorious women and little girls on this earth, and specially wishing those men who respect and care for women!!
As per Encyclopaedia Britannica, IWD (8th of March) was instituted for honouring the achievements of women and promoting women’s rights. A national holiday in numerous countries, it has been sponsored by the United Nations (UN) since 1975.
Remembering the women power, starting from our epics and puranas, viz., Savitri, Sita, Draupadi, Ahalya, Tara, Radha, Mandodari, Sulochana, Mata Anasuya, to Florence Nightingale, Helen Keller, Sister Nivedita, Mother Teresa, Anandi Gopal, Sarojini Naidu, Durgabai Deshmukh, Rani Lakshmibai, Razia Sultan, Kiran Bedi, Bacchendri Pal, Madame Curie, Shakuntala Devi, the list is endless.
Each one of us can make a difference because we can do anything we put our mind to ... we can swim the deepest ocean, and climb the highest peak, be a doctor or fly a plane, we can face adversity and still walk tall, we are strong, beautiful and compassionate and much more than the words could ever say, today is yours and so is every other day!!!
More soon :)
