ARE WE MEANT TO BE BEHIND DOORS?
Gone are the days when all a woman must do is stay
caged within the four walls of her house. This is a new
era, her era. Women have broken the shackles of the
society and left their mark on all walks of life. In the last
decade women have made huge leaps from not having
the right to vote and get education to contesting in
elections and taking a role in society to spread
knowledge. In recent times Women have embarked on
unconventional, high-spirited careers. In pre-modern
times when a woman wanted to take up a career of her
choice she was usually forbidden and in fact sometimes
she was not allowed to go for work and when a woman
would go for a job interview, it was never a liberating
experience for her it was rather a pretty daunting one.
This was because it was not normal and against the
morals that lay by the chauvinistic men of the society.
Fortunately the times when women were mere slaves to
their husbands have changed. Women no longer accept
to be chained to biased rules that prevailed in the
society.
In current times, although the Tech industry is primarily
dominated by successful and iconic male entrepreneurs
like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg, the
role of women and their contributions towards
technology does not definitely go unnoticed. As a matter
of fact, long before the pioneers in technology began to
set their mark, there were people writing computer
programs. Many of them were women. Ada Lovelace
born in 1815 was the first computer programmer. People
must be aware that Programming is not a boy’s only
club. People label women who program as an unusual
lot because it is not the orthodox thing a woman would
do.
VOLUME 2 ISSUE 2 – WOMAN EMPOWERMENT
Whereas they must understand that women have an
extended history in mathematics, programming and
engineering. There has been a drastic change in the
acceptance that women are almost as capable as man in
every field. This welcomed changes that have paved the
way for women to come out of their shells and be
confident enough to head multimillion companies.
Susan Wojciki is the CEO of the most renowned video
sharing website, YouTube and the CEO of one of the
largest multinational technology company, Ginni
Rommety.
The number of women that complete their engineering
and get selected by technology programs has
significantly increased leading to many opportunities
for women to leave their footprints in the field of
technology. The number of women working in IT jobs
has increased many folds. Breaking the stereotypes, the
Indian women have etched their names in history by
successfully launching the Mars Orbiter Mission
(MOM) into space. The project director was a woman
and also the people working on it were women. These
incredible women scientists have inspired a large
number of young girls, that anything is possible
regardless of one's gender.
Another example is Kiran Mazumdar Shaw who is the
Chairman and Managing Director of Biocon Limited, a
biotechnology based company in Bangalore. She has
also insured a place in the 'Forbes list of the World's
Most Powerful Women'.
Let's not forget about Kalpana Chawla who is one of the
greatest women who had the nerve to go against the
customary careers a woman must choose to be the first
Indian woman to enter space. Her courage and
determination inspired many young girls to pursue their
dreams and careers.
In this 21st century one can find women in every sphere
of life. Nothing is not her cup of tea anymore. She is no
longer weak. Education given to women has made them
confident and empowered them to develop their skills to
innovate technology for a better tomorrow. The future
will definitely see women and men equally dominating
the Tech industry.

PAST – THE GOLDEN FUTURE
“THERE IS NO FORCE EQUAL TO A WOMEN DETERMINED TO RISE”
India is the youngest nation among all the other nations
stated by the United Nations Organization (UNO). India
is a diverse nation with a wide range of cultures,
languages spoken and a variety of flora and fauna. From
the advent of independence there has been a tremendous
change in fields like economy, standard of living and
also in research programs. But the sad part is that we are
still a developing nation. With a population of more than
1.2 billion, nothing is impossible. The main reason for
this is that the women are not given equal opportunities
as like men. The women in the past showed no
resistance towards their passion inspite of the
difficulties faced by them. But nowadays it is upside
down due to various factors which intrude the
empowerment of women. Our living world is made by
three distinct things and they are: the past – that is being
forgotten, the present – the moment we are living and
the future – that is awaiting us.
Something which has gotten past us does not mean that
it should be forgotten as the past holds the key for a
better future. As we know that a development is
permanent if and only if all the social components are
united and are benefited by it. The main and the most
important component in a better development and a
better future is “women empowerment.”
THE TRIDENT QUALITY:
Women are not about just being “perfect.” It’s about
living the life with purpose, diligence, forgiveness, and
repentance. I am sure that most of the women are living
the lives that they are not interest in. There are various
VOLUME 2 ISSUE 2 – WOMAN EMPOWERMENT
delicate factors which hinder the passion of women. But
it is in the hands of them to be the “one” or to stand
among the crowd.
This is the century where the fingers speak what the
mouth should. It is due to the technological
developments and it’s undeniable. Here is where the
past comes into action. Before the independence the
participation of women in the freedom movement were
equal to that of men. But nowadays the indulgence of
women is drastically reduced. They are stressed out by
the society in various ways. They are criticized for their
attire, their way of being with the opposite gender etc. It
is time to remember the lost qualities of women in order
to bring out the real face rather than just the fake ones.
There are three basic qualities which will empower
women in every possible way. Always remember that
the past is the lesson which is going to shape the future.
A SOCIAL ARCHITECT:
Who is an architect? Does anyone know the true nature
of an architect? The architect is the one who builds
something which will inspire someone who sees it and
it makes a tremendous impact such that it will change
his\her life completely. This personality which I am
going to speak now is one who architected the whole
nation in which we are living now. She is called “THE
IRON LADY OF INDIA –INDIRA GANDHI.” She
holds the honor of being the first Prime Minister of
India. She was a complex women whose leadership in
India continues to have repercussions to this day. When
she was 5 years old, India witnessed a bonfire of foreign
goods. At that age she burnt down her baby doll since it
was made in England. At the age of 12, she joined the
self-determination struggle with children. Despite all
the struggles faced by her since she was the only women
in the parliament she continued to show extreme
resistance and concentrated in building a better India.
This is an important quality that women must remember.
They have to pass through the hurdles in order to be the
architect of their own life which will drastically have an
impact on the society in turn. Every women is an “IRON
LADY” in my view. It’s just that they have to throw the
mask and show the real them. That is what our nation
wants from them.
BRUTAL DETERMINATION:
Nothing in this world can stop a person who is truly
determined about something. Let it be even a simple
thing like passing an examination with flying colour to
being a successful personality. “A journey of thousand
miles begins with a single step” this is an apt saying to
describe this topic. The determination that you have
towards something keeps you in the right path, but a
brutal determination is needed to succeed. How many of
us know Bachendri Pal? She is the first women to climb
the Mount Everest. She was born in a village in the
Himalayas named Nakuri. She set a record for scaling a
VOLUME 2 ISSUE 2 – WOMAN EMPOWERMENT
13,123ft (3,999.9m) during a school picnic. She then
continued making several records by climbing many
hills such as Mt.Gangotri etc.
She faced tremendous pressure from her family for
being a girl and climbing mountains seemed like a weird
idea to her parents. But still she was brutally determined
that this was her passion and nothing can shackle this
away. She then aimed for the queen of hills. She had
explained her expedition was breath taking and she was
nearly killed with the temperature being around minus
30 to 40 degree Celsius and wind blowing at 100 km per
hour. She then made it on top finally setting the record
for the first Indian women to reach the top. She was 29
years old when she kissed the Everest. In today’s
century the passion and determination among many
women has vanished since they are suppressed by
everyone around them. Bring out the fiery face and burn
down the factors that stand in your way to achieve the
unimaginable. I tell this to every single women around
the world “Never compromise for any excuse that
hinders your passion, for which will make you the face
of the nation.”
COMPASSION AND LOVE:
Have you guys ever heard of a saying called “Need is
the mother of all inventions.”? This is a universal truth.
All that has been invented till now, “need” has been the
reason. Of all forces in nature, bond or love is the
strongest force that exists. Women is the only source of
all the love and peace that surrounds us. Love unites us
all and keeps us at peace and in harmony. There is a
personality who united nations with just the four lettered
word “LOVE”.
If love had any other name it would just be called as
“MOTHER TERESA.” She had no need to care for the
poor and needy but she had a view that all can be
achieved by love and compassion. She made a huge
difference in our nation for which she was awarded
“THE NOBEL PEACE PRICE.” She changed the view
of India amongst other countries. But nowadays due to
the development in science and technology, the need to
work has increased and thus this has reduced our time to
show compassion towards others. As I mentioned
earlier, “a development is permanent if and only if each
and every person in the nation are benefited by it.” By
this the stress that is caused by the society can be
averted. Your service to one can change the lives of
million.
ACHIEVING THE UNIMAGINABLE:
The above mentioned personalities had certain qualities
in them which helped them to achieve their passion. But
in those days too there were social and cultural
differences which affected their journey towards their
goal. In 21st century there are even more delicate and
complex factors which hinder a woman’s journey
towards success in every possible way and that’s why I
have mentioned the three forgotten qualities from the
past with three different Indian personalities in order to
make women empowerment effective. I am not
criticizing that the women in today’s world are without
determination, passion, and compassion. I want them to
understand that these qualities must be magnified into
an enormous amount such that each and every woman
can shape their own destiny rather than taking advices
and living an ordinary, simple life. A change in one can
improvise many others’ life. A nation is nothing without
the indulgence of its people. Thus if these three qualities
are inculcated in today’s life then there is nothing
stopping the women of our nation, which will be a
stimulant for its growth.

Student
DAUNTLESS DAME IN DISCIPLINES OF PHYSICS AND
SPACE
Cherishing her solitude, taking trains by herself to
places she has never been. Sleeping under the stars,
learning how to drive a stick shift. Going so far away
that she stops being afraid of not coming back. Putting
a NO whenever she did not want to do something.
Coming up with a YES when her instincts are strong,
even when millions around her disagree. She never
wanted to fit in, as she was born to STAND OUT!
Strength for tough times, Laughter through
tears, Merry in the minutest of things, Endless
Endeavors are held in her!
VOLUME 2 ISSUE 2 – WOMAN EMPOWERMENT
Clothed in strength and dignity, she framed
the ABC’s of Nature, carved quantum as an equation
with an unknown. She sorts the Hebrew word which is
written only with consonants to which reason has to add
the dots. Contributing to devise, the King of all Science.
Every Quantum device today, the camera,
laptop, TV, projectors, was devised on the basis of
Quantum Theory.
Probing the deepest mystery of the universe,
were many unsung heroines. The Harvard Computer
was once a maid in the castle of a physicist, who was
rented since she claimed fewer fares. Williamina
Heming, the morale maid, put forth the Catalogue of
stars, which is our knowledge of Universe today.
Held with high reverence is Hubble for the Big
Bang, but for the root was never but to the limelight.
Opening the door to the Universe, Reckoning the
distances between the galaxies, was the lavish lady,
Henrietta Swan Levitt.
They surpass all earthly things, with the King of
all Science. For these dames, flying is no magic, but
Physics.
Raising us above ourselves, how small is her
body and how great is her mind, since her intelligence
can embrace the whole dazzling immensity, where her
body is only an obscure point, and enjoys the silent
harmony of Astronomy?
Chawla was one such phenomenal Genius, such a
dauntless dame she was! She belonged among the stars.
Her greatest accomplishments cannot be left obscure,
for she knew Destiny lied above her. The universe in her
bones, stars in her Soul, did she explore the ceaseless
Space.
Such were many dauntless dames who dared to put
their heart and soul to explore the boundless galaxies.
It goes without saying that Women are the greatest
achievers in the disciplines of Space and Physics. The
Advent of Astronomy, the pioneers of all physicists are
the wonder defined Women.
Her name, no longer mean the mere opposite of the
male , but something in itself, something that makes one
think not of any complement and limit, but only life and
reality: the phenomenal female.
Swimming the deepest oceans, climbing the highest
mountains, through the sugar and spice, through the
breakdowns and breakthroughs, Being the ladder below
every summit, Being the story behind every renowned
History,
She is sculpted in the waters of adversities!
Such dauntless is the Dame! Such a Wizard is
Women.
Not a stunning creation of God, but the Creator
himself in veil!

ARE WOMEN PINK?
Whenever, we think of women, we often indulge in the
habit of thinking pink everywhere. Was this colour,
fixed for women? Or are we stereotypically fitting
things where they shouldn’t be fit in. There are still
women who find it hard to proudly say that “they are
women”. Is pink actually a lusty colour?
No. It is definitely not. Over the years, we’ve created a
criteria based upon which we decide things and we’ve
never taken time to think twice which is another vice.
There was a time when Maricopa County Sheriff Joe
Arpaio made men inmates to wear pink underwear in
order to humiliate them. Now that is quite messed up.
Since when pink became a colour of humiliation? Or is
being effeminate a big insult on its own? It makes my
heart heavy as I’m an effeminate person myself and my
mind gets influenced when I’m forced to look upon
things in a biased way.
VOLUME 2 ISSUE 2 – WOMAN EMPOWERMENT
AN OCEAN OF THOUGHTS:
One of my gender fluidic friends wrote down recently,
how a girl or woman is perceived amongst her male
counterparts and her lines struck a chord in my heart.
She had written that, “Male children do not need
special training to develop the temperament of
harassing women in a patriarchal society. It comes
about spontaneously and naturally, as children
internalize the spirit of subjugating women at their
subconscious level by means of absorbing the
phenomenon which is so common around them,
unknowingly, right from a very young age.
A woman’s mind can prominently generate millions of
thoughts within seconds and her brain is undoubtedly
multi-tasking whilst a man’s brain can either focus on a
certain perspective in a complete basis or it can deviate
into a whole new topic without thinking about the
thought which was previously being processed.
WOMEN- INTELLECTS?
This question has been raised multiple times and
women have always proven that they have better
functioning brains. Yet, a 2015 study at Tel Aviv University revealed that “Human brains do not belong
to a distinctive or specific gender category”.
Daniel Amen, MD, author of Unleash the Power of the
Female Brain, points out that there are not much
differences in the IQ levels of men and women although
the brains of men are found to be ten percent bigger than
the female brains.
The type of connections present in the nervous system of
human brain decides how they function. Men have highly
perceptional brains while women have brains with highly
concentrated amount of gray matter which enhances the
memory power and socialistic skills of women. This gives
them more edge towards comprehending the feelings of
other people and makes them highly emotional.
This is not applicable for every man and woman as brain
is a chameleon that adapts according to the
circumstances. Human brain cultivates a pattern based on
the needs and expectations that are imposed upon it. So
certainly women are not women if it wasn’t for the society.
Everybody deserves equals. “It should necessarily be the
rule applied everywhere. We are humans and we should
be judged based upon that criteria or let’s say that we
shouldn’t be judged at all for who we really are.”
COMPLEXITY OF HER MIND:
Women have always wanted to be the ones who take
care of their family issues. In a society, that has
constantly forced women to take up independence in a
righteously wrong way has made women think in a
wrong perspective of feminism. A patriarchal society
will always exist or the vice versa if there is a sense of
superiority arising amongst the genders.
VOLUME 2 ISSUE 2 – WOMAN EMPOWERMENT
We as humans should have an outlook that is wider than
our own perspective. A woman’s mind is often
perceived to be very complex which itself is a
perception and not factual. Women go through various
phases in their life cycle and on the other hand men
undergo puberty and there are not many changes after
the major puberty change in them. Women are made to
endure pain and their minds are not put to placidity. Yet,
they handle it with ease.
When men are questioned about women, they often end
up saying that, “Women are marvelous creatures to
gaze upon but very complex to figure out”.
What men don’t realize is that women are
complex and that is exactly why they can
efficiently run a complex organization or rule
a country with very less troubles. Complexity
is a network of interlinked discrepancies and only
women can entangle it with high amount of
concentration. A society itself is a complex
structure which also includes many complex
families and many capable women who can
reduce the complexity of networks.
“I think complexity is the science for the 21st
century”
As quoted by Stephen Hawking, Complexity
and the methodologies of solving them can be
effectively brought upon by empowered women.

ABOUT TIME TO STOP BLAMING MEN?
A woman is the most underrated species this universe
has ever witnessed. She has been a creature of pity in
this misogynist society who constantly fights for a place
of deserved regard. She faces even the most trivial thing
as an imposter on her path. And god forbid the abuse she
encounters every day in this male chauvinistic society.
Now as all the clichéd statements about the way the
miseries of women are seen in the society is over, I shall
now get into my perception of viewing this issue.
Honestly the above written lines were the ones that
popped up in my head when I started to think on this
topic- Women Vs. The society and Environment. And
this has even become the hot topic of debate these days
on the internet due to its sensitivity and urgency. But
deep down I had always known that there was much
more to what the eye meets to this scenario. These are
the constant questions that keeps lingering on my mind
these days:
What is really wrong with the society and its way of
treating a woman?
Why is there so much violence and injustice to her?
Why is she always required to fight for a place that
seems obviously hers to own?
Have men become so insensitive and inhuman to her
rattles and agony?
Or have men lost their core human nature and are on a
path of self-destruction?
To answer these questions right, it’d be better if we
looked into the personality types of a man and a woman
in general.
Men and women have always been categorised into two.
The one who was aggressive and dominant was the
alpha male while the relatively submissive one was the
beta male. The same applies to women too. This was a
major reflection of their innate personalities.
Having that concept on hold, let us now consider this. A
man in general has always been the provider to the
family. He went into the wild to hunt down on animals
and brought them to his woman who was supposedly a
caretaker of the family. And this role they took on to
play would most probably have been due to their
VOLUME 2 ISSUE 2 – WOMAN EMPOWERMENT
physical strength. And there would have been a smooth
coordination between them both.
Until then the equilibrium and coordination was smooth
and there was no violence. Ok, if everything was so
perfect, when, where and how did this peace get
disturbed?
As it is evident man had that edge of physical strength
over a woman. He was stronger in body and was tough.
This in course of time would have given him a false high
making him feel superior in holistic ways than he
actually was. There started the problem, when the alpha
female retaliated against this newfound behaviour of the
man. So the false high that the man was under urged him
to suppress the female in the only way she could be
suppressed: Physically.
This was a great success as her body was fragile.
Though her spirits were high she could not fight back.
And as years passed by this physical suppression
transformed into one of emotional, sexual and
sentimental typo.
But in today’s time, alpha characteristics are not much
idolised and looked upon. The potential reason could be
due to civilisation and education that has forced man to
relax his spine and evolve into less aggressive
individuals. Another reason could be the sons who grew
up looking up to their fathers and despised them for their
arrogance and blunt dominance. So they carefully chose
not to become like them in the future. Still it was just a
wilful disguise in order to gain unperturbed access into
the society and the hearts of women.
Thus most alphas learn when they are still boys that their
career depends on ensuring that old people (other
alphas) do not feel threatened by them. So they
transformed into something more agreeable and
obeisant.
So how well does this theory justify my heading stand?
To answer this question let us consider this for instance:
there has been a sharp hike in the number of diabetes
patients all around the world. Doctors claim that this
could be an evolutionary mid-phase where the body is
creating new mechanisms to cope up with the lifestyle
of today. As our body has been accustomed to a different
lifestyle in the past centuries this sudden change would
initially cause ill effects like diabetes and the likely.
Later the upgraded version of us (humans) would be
better equipped to handle these changes and regain its
normal health.
But today the comeback of the alpha women who had
once been dominant has begun. She is all empowered
and knows what she is capable of. She equally competes
with her male counterpart and makes her mark in every
venture of hers. She is all powerful and skilled. Now this
poses a potential threat to the dormant alphas that are
disguised as betas in today’s world. They start to see her
as a threat to their masculine superiority and search for
ways to suppress her.
VOLUME 2 ISSUE 2 – WOMAN EMPOWERMENT
He feels threatened when a woman makes a decision on
her own and outsmarts him. He feels threatened when
her smartness overpowers his in a social community. He
fears the fall of his male superiority and significance.
His ego is so hurt that he refuses to take no for an
answer. And there come his aggressive nature to play
which culminates in such violence.
He simply uses violence as a defence mechanism to
retain his stature in the community. This gives him the
sense of high he had chosen to forgo long back in order
to gain access into the society. But little does he know
that this feeling of superiority is only momentary and
what remains after that is simply remorse and guilt.
This violent behaviour is simply a reflection of an old
soul popping out at times to prove its existence and
innate potential. It is not the men who voluntarily
indulge in these but their inability to have control over
their demons.
It is simply their inability and not their choice. And once
that failing moment passes over, they again retreat to
their old self seeking peace. But all that awaits him is
the disappointment of unattained satisfaction and guilt.
And just like diabetes, this is just the mid-phase where
the alphas are trying to outgrow their despised self into
one that is much more relevant and appropriate to these
days. And just like there is no permanent cure for
diabetes, there is no cure for this societal illness of men.
Control and awareness is the only key for peace.
I also don’t mean to say that women are supposed to be
all enduring while this transition of men happens. But
it’s about time women stopped lamenting over the
hardships that come put on their way and be radical in
dealing with this. It is about time women retreated to
their intellectual armour and not their emotional armour.
It is about time women stopped getting back to their
cocoons when the times are bad and die of self-pity. It
is about time they let their wits loose and bosses up the
situation.
The saying “Hell hath no fury like a scorned woman” is
no more relevant. “Hell hath no wit like a scorned
woman” is what the world needs today to handle these
helpless men.
So cheers to life and new beginnings!

AUTONOMY AND CURE
As a counsellor I have had the chance to meet and
facilitate young girls and women with various issues
ranging from exam jitters to emotional and physical
abuse. I have always admired their grit and courage to
seek help and once the decision is made they bounce
back to life with great vigour and determination. I would
like to share some significant experiences which I found
to be truly inspirational. I am looking that in the
progressive steps of CURE.
Cure is a process of learning to exercise new choices.
The client who seeks help passes through a series of
stages of improvement, distinct in nature although the
boundaries might not be sharply recognizable.
From pain to power....
A college girl met me to process her fear and
helplessness to come out of a dependency. She was clear
that it was not a relationship. Her grades were dropping
and she was confused. She processed her feelings and
was ready to think and choose options. She became
aware of her pattern and the vicious cycle was
identified.
VOLUME 2 ISSUE 2 – WOMAN EMPOWERMENT
She chose to heal herself by intervening the cycle by
exercising her choices. She chose to avoid the invitation
of the other person. She was experiencing the social
control which is the first step of the healing process. She
was experiencing pain and difficulty.
During this time she processed her fear and belief about
the other gender. She identified that it is a copied
behaviour from her parental figure. She felt the relief in
her physical body also. When she was turning down the
invite she was now feeling the ease in her neck muscles.
This is the symptomatic relief which decreased her
frequency and intensity of fear.
By this time she is relieved and has created a bond with
the therapist whom she started to look as her new parent
and secure base. She started depending on the therapist
which is again a repetition of her childhood belief.
After follow up sessions and repeated processing she
decided to put her own show on the road with new self-
driving through the progressive path.
I was amazed by her consistent efforts to come out of
the pattern. While she meets me now I can see her as a
powerful young lady beaming with her victorious smile
and of course with her best academic scores back again!
Steps of cure:
Social control – Changed behaviour
Symptomatic relief – Observed in Physical body and
feelings
Transference cure – With the person involved and the
therapist
Script cure – Rewriting her painful story with a powerful
one.
Inside every woman there is a smart, powerful, dynamic,
capable, self-confident, alert and fabulous super
woman. There are times when she stumbles – it may be
over a small stone or a rock that could hit her hard. This
is the time when her dependency, self-doubt, belief
system or cultural scripts change their path. She
becomes vulnerable and is under the control of the
society. This can be reverted. Girls and women brave
enough seek help to gain back their stronger self but a
few may founder as well. Once the woman reinvents her
strengths she is autonomous.
The world is waiting for such winners!

One has to stand there to taste that feeling. Such is the

best out of every individual present there. This place
serves as a meeting and a gathering point for many of
the lectures and events in this campus.

How's this for a library! A collection of 104475 volumes
and 66559 titles with 178 journals, 48 magazines 9122
international journals for the use of students is only
going to get better with time and fetch both the users and
itself all the glory!

The air-conditioned auditorium with a capacity of 1800
seats acts as a great stage for various functions and
several other important happenings within the campus.

its way to the second spot on this count down!

Majestic as ever, this place was soulfully designed with
an idea of serving as a symbolic centre and the meeting
