Celebrating Women’s Week: A Tribute to Our Mums and Mothers-in-Laws!
As we celebrate International Women's Day, my friends and I find ourselves reflecting on the incredible journey we have taken, a journey that wouldn’t have been possible without the unwavering support and courage of our mothers. Growing up in India during a time when engineering for girls was a rarity, we faced numerous challenges, one of the most bizarre being the absence of ladies' toilets in our mechanical block. Yet, despite these obstacles, the four of us pursued our dreams and became engineers.🎉
Looking back, we realize that our success and achievements, which seemed almost taboo at the time, are a testament to the strength and determination of our mothers. These incredible women, despite being housewives, shattered glass ceilings and fought against societal norms to ensure we had the opportunities they never did. Their courage came not from a desire to improve their own lives but to give us, their daughters, a life equal to that of men in the world.💪
At the time, the changes they were fighting for seemed negligible, but today, as we look back, we see how significant those efforts were. Our mothers’ bravery and resilience laid the foundation for our success, and for that, we are eternally grateful. This Women’s Week, we pay tribute to our mums (including our mother-in-laws), whose quiet yet powerful revolutions have shaped our lives and inspired us to continue breaking barriers.👭
Our mothers were the unsung heroines of their time. While they may not have sought recognition or accolades, their influence was profound. They navigated a world that often tried to limit their potential, and in doing so, they expanded their horizons for us. They taught us the value of perseverance, resilience, and the importance of education. They showed us that it was possible to dream big and work hard to turn those dreams into reality. They also taught us to have patience for societal changes and how to challenge societal norms at the same time.🌟
We remember vividly the sacrifices they made for us. The long hours they put into ensuring we had the best education, the countless nights they stayed up helping us with our studies, and the unwavering encouragement they provided when we faced challenges. They were our first role models, demonstrating through their actions that women could achieve anything they set their minds to. They also took the risk of letting our fathers know about our rebel ideas!👏
As we honour our mothers on this day, we also recognize that their fight for equality and opportunity is far from over. There are still many barriers to break and many norms to challenge. But thanks to their pioneering efforts, we are better equipped to continue the fight. We stand on the shoulders of giants, and their legacy drives us to strive for a world where every girl and woman has the opportunity to reach her full potential.💖
To our mums and mother-in-laws, thank you for your endless love, and support, and for being the true pioneers of change in our lives. Your strength, courage, and resilience have shaped us into the individuals we are today; we are eternally grateful for that.💖
Happy International Women's Day!

Detox Daily: 3 Simple Ways to Eliminate Toxins from Your Body
In today’s world, our bodies are constantly exposed to toxins—be it from processed food, polluted air, or chemical-laden products. Over time, these toxins accumulate, leading to sluggish metabolism, poor digestion, and low energy levels. The good news? You don’t need expensive detox programs or extreme diets. Simple, sustainable habits can help your body detox naturally every single day.
Here are three powerful yet practical ways to incorporate daily detox into your routine:
1️⃣ Intermittent Fasting (14/16-Hour Fasting)
- Begin with a 14-hour fast (e.g., finish dinner by 8 PM and eat breakfast at 10 AM).
- Gradually extend it to 16 hours (e.g., 8 PM to 12 PM next day) for deeper detox.
- During the fasting window, stay hydrated with water, herbal teas, or lemon water.
Our digestive system works hard throughout the day, processing the food we eat. Giving it a break through intermittent fasting allows the body to focus on repair and detoxification. When you fast for 14 to 16 hours, your body enters a state called autophagy—where it cleans out damaged cells and regenerates new, healthier ones.
✅ How to Start:
💡 Pro Tip: If you feel hungry during fasting, sip on warm water with a pinch of pink salt. It helps curb cravings and supports digestion.
2️⃣ Detox Juices & Herbal Drinks
Nature has provided us with powerful detoxifying ingredients that help flush out toxins, support digestion, and boost liver health. Incorporating homemade detox drinks is an easy and effective way to cleanse your system.
✅ Best Detox Drinks to Try:
🍋 Lemon-Turmeric Water: Warm water + lemon + turmeric + honey (best for digestion & immunity)
🍵 Jeera-Ajwain-Saunf Water: Soak cumin, carom, and fennel seeds overnight, boil, and drink (great for bloating & gut health)
🌿 Green Juice: Extract fresh with green leaves and vegetables of your choice
🥥 Coconut Water: Hydrates the body, flushes out toxins, and restores electrolyte balance
🎃 Ash Gourd Juice: Naturally cooling, promotes gut health, and supports detoxification
3️⃣ Millets: The Detoxifying Grains
💡 Pro Tip: Drink detox water first thing in the morning for best results!
Unlike refined grains like white rice and wheat, millets are rich in fiber and natural compounds that support detoxification. They help cleanse the gut, regulate blood sugar, and improve digestion.
✅ Best Millets for Detox:
🌾Foxtail Millet , Barnyard Millet, Kodo Millet, Little Millet, Browntop Millet (These are detoxifying grains that can help cleanse different organs of the body)
💡 Pro Tip: Replace one meal a day with a millet-based dish like millet porridge, dosa, or khichdi for a gentle daily detox.
