My Butcher and Me!

When I was a little girl, appa used to visit us twice or thrice a year. Whenever he comes, he will take me and anna in his bullet to a nearby butcher shop, I used to keenly listen to the conversations my appa had with the butcher! He will instruct the butcher about the exact portion of the meat he prefers and he will also say what we will be cooking. That way even after my father went back to his workplace we still preferred the same butcher my father chose once! The engagement, the conversation and the consistent meet-ups usually evolves into a meaningful relationship! Even when my mother Anandhi Venugopal used to send my brother Anandha Rajan , he used to come back home saying “bhai enna thambi romba naala mutton vaangala nu ketaaru!

Like father, like daugther.. Love father

(Long Time Ago…) It was already late. I looked at the clock in the hall. It said eleven. My brother, my mother and I were all waiting to see my dad… after nearly six months!

He always claimed that he had electronic media device fitted in my classroom, bathroom and house and hence all my actions will be recorded. I used to believe this until I was in 9th standard! How dumb!! My dad predicts almost everything I did. It was then I realized I’m typically like my dad. I had the skills of humour, leadership, communication, ego and pride, everything I did was a reflection of what my father did in the past. Days passed, I finished School and decided to study in the prestigious College, GCT, Coimbatore. Now it was my turn to stay away from my family. We always had only 3 members in our family, either father or I moved in and out due

Woman Entrepreneurs – Learn to Prioritize, Challenge your limitations!

Not many men are asked this question, “How do u manage work and family?” But if you are a woman, there is a high probability that you were posed with the same question over and over! I was recently in a women entrepreneurs’ summit and asked few of them about the gender bias they had to face, the following were listed. Cooking, taking care of the house which includes organising things, cleaning, maintaining budget for the family, networking with relatives, children, in-laws, and the list seemed to be a never ending one. In my previous article on women entrepreneurs’ series, I asked few questions which could have been triggers to venture into something new! But are there some challenges which is limiting you to perform? Woman are emotionally strong and each of us have the capacity to hold our head high during crisis. We all need a mentor, someone who can support and encourage us! Remember when you are looking for a mentor, he/ she must be able to unconditionally motivate you des
