e all have deepest desires & Wdreams, for which we often get judged, when shared candidly. Sometimes our milieu dictates our dreams as well. It's well appreciated when a little girl aspires for a Barbie doll, a young woman yearns for married bliss, followed by taking pride in becoming a mother, a home maker, a successful cook & so on.

There's no harm in these beautiful dreams if a girl actually desires them but eyebrows are raised when some do not fit into these society enforced norms. They usually find themselves explaining to the inquisitive society that w o u l d t e r m t h e i r d r e a m s a s incomprehensible and unattainable, in the end. Stereotypical thought is the culprit that eventually make people surrender to the societal pressure.

Enjoying family holidays is an accepted norm but all hell breaks loose if a woman desires for a solo trip. Absolutely shocking as it may sound, so called 'progressive thinkers' of today also find this idea indigestible. Are we creating a closed minded society that is

averse to individual's choices & diversity? Desire for a solo trip does not imply significant discord in marital relationship. Despite having a doting husband and adorable kids, one can long to have some lone t ime to rebuild oneself, to understand one's strength & reassure self-reliance. People come up with various justifications why one shouldn't travel alone. While the safety concerns coming from family & friends are understandable, however people around starts questioning her motive behind such 'weird desires'.

'I want to go on a solo road trip someday. I want to explore places. Sleep in the car. Listen to my favourite albums while driving. Click self ies. Experience adrenaline pumping activities. Run through forests. Make friends with animals. Feel the wind blow on my face. Meet new people. Make memories, feel

alive.' Break Free! That is today's woman. Dare to dream differently & chase them vehemently. It's our life let's celebrate the way we want to, without getting bogged down by hackneyed opinions.

REPORTher's NEW IDENTITYe are happy to announce our Wnew logo which has been launched with this edition of

REPORTher. During the last 10 editions, we have come a long way giving REPORTher an identity she much deserves and the new logo is our first step towards accomplishing this.

The new logo is a symbol that is synonymous to the belief on which REPORTher was launched. It is a combination of a lady's face, a speech bubble and a newspaper with colours

for each element assigned after much thought. The colours of our logo represent change & transformation on one hand while reflecting warmth & cheerfulness on the other.

Awarded for REPORTherWith the new identity, I am also happy to

announce the receipt of my first award for REPORTher. On the occasion of Maharashtra Day, I was bestowed with the award "Karyasamrat Mumbai Ratna" for contribution in the field of women empowerment and co-operative journalism from the hands of MLA Shri Tarasinghji. It's an achievement not individually by me but collectively by our team, so Kudos to all!Our new logo is a combinaon

of a lady's face, a speech bubble and a newspaper, which is the soul purpose of REPORTher!

ENCOURAGEherKetana Engineer, a middle aged woman in Mulund is giving free education to the students of Gujrathi School. She too hails from the same school.

She is a home maker but conducts tuition at educational level. She has learnt Vedic Maths, Calligraphy, and German and she teaches the same to her students. Her sole aim is to educate and nurture students to bring out the hidden talent in them. She aims to make them realize that learning from vernacular school shouldnt stop their knowledge and growth. We as writers always write about woman empowerment but she is surely an example to it.

ts commonly felt that the skin Iacquires all that it requires for being flawless and glowing through only the external applications like creams, lotions, oils etc but the fact is that the skin is nourished much more efficiently via the gut route.

Therefore what we ingest is much more effective than the creams and the lotions. Hence we need to be very cautious of what we are eating if we demand a flawless glowing skin.

Some skin WIN FOODS:Fruits and vegetables - they provide the most necessary vitamins and minerals Fruits provide additional fibre adding the roughage needed to keep the bowl clean. A clean gut will keep your skin sparkling

Desi ghee when had in appropriate

quantity, this Indian butter boosts the skin shine. It is rich in vitamins E, A, D and is full of fatty acids. It can be called as a radiance booster for the skin

Cod liver oil - It is derived from liver of cod fish. It works well for itchy or a dry skin and helps restore the skins youthfulness

Water- Water is needed to flush out the toxins, keep the gut clean and for general hydration. Consuming about 2 litres of water should help achieve a bright and clear skin

Skin include: SIN FOODS Coffee and alcohol, Tea, Sugars, Salt, Junk foods

Eat healthy food, exercise daily, stay fit and the skin will just show and it shall glow!

SKIN FOOD FACTSFood that helps your Skin

esearchers have found that a diet Rthat includes regular intake of s p i c e s w i t h a n t i - a l l e rg y capabilities can reduce vulnerability to plant-induced allergies. These spices contain allergy-fighting chemicals that include flavonoids and phenols - for example, turmeric is rich in curcumin, a compound that is known to have anti-inflammatory properties. Turmeric can also help improve digestion and balance the flow of bile. Sage, red pepper, cumin and coriander are some other spices that are known to be allergy fighters. Sauting a combination of ground turmeric, cumin and coriander in ghee and using the mixture to season

vegetables is a way of incorporating some of these allergy fighting spices into your diet.Drinking cilantro juice cools and calms the entire system and promotes optimal health, comfort, temperature, and fluid balance in the skin. Simply place a handful of fresh cilantro in a blender with about cup water and blend. Strain the pulp and drink the juice. Things to avoid completely are Dry fruits, Fermented things like bread, dosas, and aapam as they are very hard to digest, also non veg foods like Fish, Chicken & Prawns also needs to be avoided.

ecently I bumped into an old Rfriend on the jogging track. She was already in her 10th lap while I panted on my first. We decided to catch up after she finished her quota of 16 (!)

Irrespective, it was great catching up after almost 30 years. The starting point was of course her health routine that had left me awe struck. Having got an eager audience she went on to describe at length about her diet routines and the importance of regular detoxification of the systems for great internals. There was no denying the benefits- She was glowing! Later we drifted to the good old junior college days. I was just getting eased into the conversation when she brought up a bitter argument she had had with a common friend- 30 years back!! She remembered every word of it! Good memory! Unfortunately she remembered every emotion related with the argument too! Our meeting turned somber after that as most of the time was spent in her lamenting over some words that were said years ago in the throes of the teens.

That entire glow on her face had muted as we came to the end of the evening. She looked exhausted and worn out. As we were about to depart I asked her what she did for mental and emotional

detoxification? She gave me incredulous looks and we parted on that.

A question that sprang up in my mind was, Why does health only mean physical well being to us? Those of us who are conscious, spend many hours and many more precious bucks on physical fitness and detoxification parlors and products. Sadly we miss the major source of our energy, fitness and youth- our mental well- being. Some people abuse their bodies with over eating and junk food, but many-many more of us abuse our minds by getting into ego tussles and one-up-man-ship.

And then we pour more energy into remembering every detail of everything that is negative around us. Forgiving seems like a small thing to indulge in and glorifying our pain while criminalizing the smallest mistakes of others seems to be the big deed. Even at the cost of everything that is important to us? Actually yes we sacrifice love, relationships, peace happiness and health to keep the vendetta alive. It seems perfect to feel victimized rather than feeling happy and peaceful!

What is really important? We need to keep revisiting this question. The solution to health and happiness is simple- Let Go. Try it. It works miracle. And if you find it difficult to do it on your own- Go talk your heart out to a counselor- a neutral, non- judgmental companion- Get Free- Get Health and Happiness.

eneric Drugs are the lower-Gcost version of a branded drug. I t is a chemical ly equivalent (having the same API - Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient) drug, costing much less when compared to the brand-name drug.

Safe to use drugs? Yes. Generic and brand-name drugs must meet the exact same standards for effectiveness, safety and quality. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires generic drugs to have the same quality, strength, purity and stability as their brand-name

versions. Generic drugs are thoroughly tested to make sure their performance and ingredients meet the FDAs standards for equivalency.

Pr ice d i f fe rence? Somet imes a whopping 80%. Cant believe? But thats the fact.

Bottom Line on Generics? You can use generics with confidence. Although they may look different from their brand-name versions, generics are safe and effective. Any medication changes must be discussed with your physician.

P r e j u d i c e s a r e n o t h i n g b u t prejudgments about anything before actually knowing the reality.

Recently was talking to my friend who is looking for a perfect groom. She rejected him as he was working in a BPO. Her family had a typical notion about BPO that people working there smoke, have flings and do drugs.Every work has its own pros and cons. I work in a publishing firm, but there are smokers here too. Smoking is an individual problem and not the field or place he or she works.

With actors as well, they are always judged as the people with attitude, ego, Alcohol and the very own as the chakko chand ki duniya. But they surely work hard for 14-16 hours at a stretch. They do lot of struggle and have to face lot of rejection in the initial stage. And i f he/she becomes successful, they are judged as doing some compromises to reach there.

I dont say such things dont happen but putting everyone in the same place is wrong. Compromises happen in every industry. Its just individual choices that they take such a step.

Professions like Teacher, Doctor, Engineer, CA, Bank job are considered

a s r e s p e c t a b l e j o b . W h y ? ?These professions are no doubtfully good and earn a lot of respect but why tag others as bad.

I personally feel proud of the people who pursue their dreams and not think of the prejudices and stereotypes.

Just a say, Dream it, achieve it but dont lose yourself. Cheers!!!

eal Estate Regulatory Bill 2016 R(Regulation and Development), was passed in the Upper House, the Rajya Sabha, on 10 March, Lok Sabha passed it on 15 March. The Bill solicits to protect home buyers as well as encourage investments in the real estate industry.DID U KNOW?1. It had been found out from an economic survey of Ministry of finance that 25 per cent of the projects are d e l a y e d d u e t o p o o r p ro j e c t management, lack of capital and commitment from the developers and delay in seeking regulatory approvals

2. Under the amendments made projects which have an area of 500 sq meters or eight flats have to be registered with the proposed regulatory authority instead of 1000 sq feet which was proposed earlier in bringing about larger number of projects under the

regulators ambit

3. Once the bill becomes an act, one sided agreements will be a thing of past

4. Any delay in payment by the builders will attract the same penalty as what the buyer needs to cough up

5. Builders who are notorious for changing project plans, midway, including the number of floors in a building or the layout of a flat, will now be barred from doing so, without the approval of 2/3rd of the buyers

6. 70 per cent of the sales receipt will now be locked in an escrow account

7. Developers cannot sell property on the basis of super area (flat area plus common area). They will have to clearly define the carpet area which includes spaces like kitchen and toilets

8. For flouting any of rules laid out in the Regulator Act, the developer can be fined 10 per cent of the total project cost. And for repeated offense, the builder can also be jailed.

The bill is designed to bring about i m m e n s e t r a n s p a r e n c y a n d accountability in the real estate sector.

What we overlook?1. We end up buying more than what we need2. Many times, we purchase too many items for the sake of more discounts3. Sometimes, we receive products of inferior quality or consumables close to their expiry date4. Timely delivery at all locations is not always possible

In order to make the best use of online shopping, we should see whether the product is necessary, desirable or avoidable. Shopping for necessary items online should be done in view of discounts and savings. This will not only prevent over spending but also avoid over stocking and wastage. Well-judged online purchasing will help us in managing our finances better.

n our extremely fast paced lives, we Inever seem to have enough time at hand. Office, children, house hold chores, social obligations and our daily routine make it difficult for us to find some spare time. In such a scenario, the option of buying everything from groceries to electronic items online seems like a blessing. But have we really thought about the pros and cons of online shopping?

Benefits:1. Very convenient way to shop 2. We dont have to go outside in sweltering heat of summers or heavy rainfall in monsoon time3. Most online retailers offer a replacement policy in case we dont like the product or it is defective or not up to our expectation4. Online gifting is a very practical solution for long distance dealings5. Scheduled delivery definitely makes online shopping very lucrative

n times when people are rushing Ifrom one place to another, one work to another in search of money, fame, success, etc.. There is no time for hobbies! Very few people, in their everyday routine find time for a hobby.

When there is already so much in hand, and no time is it really essential to have one? Yes, is the answer. Time or no time, one must know what they like and can pursue eventually in their free time. It is necessary for us to re-schedule our routine and spare sometime for an activity that we enjoy doing.

This helps us relax, rejuvenate and spend time with our own selves. This also helps in the later years of life when one is retired and does not know how to spend time during the day.

I see many people in their 60s who have

probably worked so hard in their late 20s-50s that they never cultivated or never felt the need to cultivate an interest apart from their work; find it difficult to keep themselves occupied through the day. Such individuals then end up nagging and remain irritated and later become difficult to handle. If they, given an activity to be engaged in, they remain calm.

A hobby could be as simple as coloring, making a puzzle, gardening or as extravagant has mountaineering. However, it is just an activity that interests one and keeps them engaged. Age is no bar for cultivating one or what you chose to do. So explore your skills and interests and engage in a hobby soon!

exico!! You hear this word Mand the first images that come to mind are that of gangsters, crime and tequila. Well to say the least, Mexico has far more to offer that those things.

Be it the fascinating food, exciting music, rich culture and above all the ever smiling and cheerful people. It has been a wonderful time and as Mexican say, "Mexico can surprise you anytime". The richness of its culture and history can easily be seen in numerous churches, castles and the streets in general.

Mexicans know how to party and enjoy their l i fe to the fullest be it participating in various social events, partying the numerous pubs or enjoying t h e i r o u t d o o r a c t i v i t i e s l i k e cycling/running/staking/dancing on the Sundays when some of the main streets are blocked for such activities.

Weather: It's little cool/ windy in the morning n evening - zero humidity in months of April-may

Few amazing places to see:1. - It's the main square in Zocalocentral Mexico City. Ideal spot to go begin your sight-seeing .The place is huge and has beautiful churches. The streets have amazing stores for shopping. The street side dancing n singing is very entertaining.

2. Again a good shopping Polancodestination, has beautiful malls and loads of restaurants.U can shop till u drop.

3 Famous for Zona Rosa & Condesaclubbing and partying. Has a variety of lounges n pubs

Mexico is an amazing place to cherish the culture, music and the simplicity of the people & a wonderful holiday destination to explore.

lives in a better and effective way. They also make real inspiring and supportive parents.

To sum it up, Women entrepreneurs are great business savvy and equally responsible home-makers. The only thing they need is support and encouragement from their close ones. So people. Celebrate their dual roles of WOMANHOOD!

Women entrepreneurs are fierce and independent. They can take care of every small hiccup in their personal and professional life. Hence, they need someone who can support them in their emotional ups and downs. They are always optimistic in nature. So guys. Isnt this a great thing in a partner? They dont need rescuing from the smallest of things.

Women entrepreneurs are problem solvers. They prefer looking for a solution to a problem. This nature comes handy as they are firm believers of seeing the whole picture.I n s p i r a t i o n a l ! ! Ye s w o m e n entrepreneurs are an inspiration to their peers, partner, kids, family and friends. Their close ones feel proud of whatever they bring to the family. These inspiring ladies are also open-minded and can adapt to any circumstances easily. This is imbibed in their daily lifestyle.

As entrepreneurs, they are great at multi-tasking, which makes them successful time managers. They can balance their personal and professional

ife is jinxed and it always depends Lon us how we make sure that its worth living.Women entrepreneurs are often unfairly assumed to be less serious about family obligations. There is a strong perceived notion that family comes second to them, after business. Through this article, I would like to break the myth that dating women entrepreneurs is not great.

Women entrepreneurs are dreamers and they are living their dreams each day. What can be sexier for a guy than to be with a lady who is a Go-getter.As entrepreneurs, these women are doing something they love and are passionate about. Despite of having tough days at work, they always return home with a SMILE. Thats why they are happy and contented which in turn make them happy partners.

e all know the importance of Weducation, but how many of us really try to pass good education to the children of subordinate class?

Most of us have maids at our homes & these maids have kids who usually are seen helping them in washing vessels or cleaning bathrooms, etc.

Most of us feel that they dont show interest in learning & most of us feel that they are fit for only manual labour work.Its important to show them the brighter side of life, talk to them politely, make them feel comfortable, dont try to show that they are deprived or dont deserve to lead a better way of life.

Most of these kids tend to leave their work half done, teach them its not a good habit. Dont yell at them for small things as theyre also innocent and unfortunate.
