What India Taught Me About Being A Desi Woman Of The World

Before all the conversations about breaking the glass ceiling and fighting for equality even came into the picture - the desi women had learned that taking control of her destiny in her own hands was the only way out. From giving her family the perfect life, to contributing to the household finances - this woman did it all. There could have been no light at the end of the tunnel but she still found her way. This is the common thread in the stories of desi super heroins I saw all around me while growing up in India. 

This woman's day - my episode is a tribute to all these women thanking them for making me realize what my true potential can be as a woman of this world.
