One of my favourite stories of all times as an adult has been about learning to put the glass down. It has changed my life and made it more livable and happy.

I was not on very good terms with my brother, and my mother had given up on true living and I couldn't get through to her. But their deaths so quickly one after another taught me a lot about my family and myself.

As I grew up I rebelled against the ingrained sexism I perceived in festivals and traditions. But recently, I realised that it is about the celebration, and meeting up with family and friends, changing my outlook. 

Sexual dysfunction is the elephant in the room we need to address, which may be a bigger problem than is reported. It can seriously affect a marriage, and this in turn can cause problems in the family.

Flexible career options for women today enable those who can't work full-time also to have a career. Don't let anyone tell you that you don't 'need' to work!
