Dear Friends, It is with great excitement that we march into the month of March. Firstly, it is a very colourful month with Holi being celebrated in many parts of India. Secondly March 8th being International Women’s Day, we get to read and write a lot of women’s issues. What can be more interesting for us Ilites? Thirdly it happens to be the fourth annual Blog contest in our IL community and we have the BEST OF IL writing for us. Could we ask for more? The Blog Winner for the month of February is one of my favourite people in IL. I have always admired her for her contemporary thoughts and capacity to embrace new ideas. It is no easy task to master computers at her age and yet she does it with elegance. Whether it is to give tips on growing a garden in her balcony or in managing without maids or to tell us stories about Saints and mythology, her topics show her vast repertoire and are always interesting. This septuagenarian has obviously made a statistical survey of the number of women in top positions in India. She says, and very correctly, that we still have a long way to go. Friends, it gives us immense pleasure to announce Mrs Pushpavalli Srinivasan as our blog winner of February 2013. And the winning Blog is Women in Public Life – Inspirations, Hopes & Possibilities - Blogs - IndusLadies Thank you Pushpa Ma’am for bringing to our notice that we are indeed lagging behind. Not only men but women too, seem to feel that women are not capable of equal performance. Possibly these are due to inbuilt conditioning and it would take a few generations for reality to be accepted. A few of us have started, but there are miles to go before we sleep. Hearty congratulations on winning the prize for the Finest Blog of February. Please send your mailing address to contest@indusladies.com to receive your prize. Friends, as always we look forward to your interesting Blogs. Do continue to entertain us with your writings.:cheers
