Half the world has females, but they don’t find representation politically, socially, financially or even sexually in this world. This show of power to muscle the voices who are out on the streets, needs to be responded back at. There is a difference in protection versus safety. What are you doing to make it safe for the females out on the streets?
We all look for an identity that is unique to us, it could be the groups we associate with or the products we buy. There is an aura in having or being in a group that many can’t attain. Is this something we need to be more aware about to save some money or not to cause exclusion towards another person
We all have been celebrating as the world celebrates people who thrive and get power against disbelief, prejudice and simply discrimination. How do people strive against injustice, not only from external but also from our internal struggle?

The year 2020 brought out the reality of our lives out in the open. We have lived a self deceiving reality- be it about the climate change, pandemic spread, authenticity of our work or purpose for our life and relationships. Let’s reflect on one thing we faced in 2020- our real selves

In this fast moving life, the last few months have seen us holed up in our houses. This has led many of us to lose connections and those social outings that lit our lives. In this setting, we all felt lonely and anxious about what if we are next. We all felt like talking to someone. 300 million people across the world feel this way for years without support. #AskTwice is an initiative to hear their voices
