MISS UNIVERSE CROWN BROUGHT HOME AFTER TWO DECADES

-

On 13th December Monday morning India woke up to a wonderful news about the 3rd Indian women to win miss universe the coveted title. The 21 year old model Harnaaz Kaur Sandhu brought home the crown after 21 long years. On 12 December 2021, the 70th Miss Universe pageant was held at Universe Dome in Eilat, Israel.

The Miss Universe pageant was established in June 1952 to empower and celebrate women of all backgrounds. The first Indian women to win the Miss universe title is Sushmita Sen in 1994. She was just 18 at that time. Lara Dutta won the Miss Universe title in 2000, six years after Sushmita Sen brought home the coveted crown. Harnaaz Sandhu has been crowned miss universe 2021, two decades after Lara Dutta won the title. Fun fact is that Harnaaz Sandhu was born on March 3 in 2000, as the same year Lara Dutta won the Miss universe title. So, India have to wait 21 years for this historic win. In an past interview Sushmita sen said after me and Lara Dutta unfortunately we didn’t get any miss universe but we will win,cause its our time now, we will win. Here we are in 2021 we have our Miss universe making India proud and making Indian girls confident about themselves. From Olympics to miss universe our Indian women representing India in various flied. As Dangal movie dialogue goes, Hamari Hindustani Chori Choro Se Kam Hain Kay. This is called women empowerment. 

Being asked, “What advice would you give to young women watching on how to deal with the pressures they face today?”

Harnaaz said “The biggest pressure the youth of today is facing, is to believe in themselves. To know that you are unique makes you beautiful. Stop comparing yourselves with others and let’s talk about more important things that are happening worldwide. Come out, speak for yourself, because you are the leader of your life. You are the voice of your own. I believed in myself and that is why I am standing here today." 

It’s definitely true in a present world of Instagram trend today’s youth tend to feel not confident about themselves and continuous pressure about posting something good and comparing themselves to others.so, her answer made everyone think about that and start believing about themselves.

"You First, Always: Breaking the Cycle of Neglected Mental Health in Women"

-

Picture this: You wake up, check your phone, scroll through an endless feed of expectations—career wins, flawless relationships, self-care routines that seem impossible to maintain. You grab coffee, rush through your morning, meet deadlines, reply to messages, try to be present for friends, family, colleagues—until, at some point, You realize you've been neglecting the most important person in your life—you. We, as women, are natural multitaskers. We balance responsibilities, emotions, and expectations like pros. But at what cost?

The pressure to “have it all together” can feel suffocating, leaving little space for rest, reflection, or simply existing without feeling guilty about it. But here’s the truth: prioritizing your mental health is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. And it doesn’t require grand gestures or a perfect routine.Little deliberate actions can have a big impact. 1....

Women have always been the backbone of society, silently shaping the world with their hard work and dedication. Whether managing homes, excelling in careers, or breaking barriers in male-dominated fields, their contributions are often overlooked.

They rise above societal expectations, push through limitations, and achieve greatness. One shining example of this determination is Sunita Williams, a trailblazing astronaut who has redefined the boundaries of space exploration. Recently, Sunita Williams and her fellow astronauts from Crew-9 safely returned to Earth in their SpaceX Dragon spacecraft, marking another milestone in her extraordinary career. With over 320 days in orbit and seven spacewalks to her name, she continues to inspire generations with her courage and dedication. Carrying India’s legacy beyond the s...

  MY AWAKENING TO FEMINISM Don’t speak loud. Don’t wear jeans. Don’t go out. Don’t speak much. Don’t be a feminist: Don’t: Don’t: Don’t….. Have you ever counted how many “don'ts” you have to listen or avoid till now, especially if you are a girl. I have a nuclear family where I have never faced any kind of judgement of being a girl but whenever I meet with my extended family tree, I always feel that I am lucky enough to be nurtured and raised to be career driven by my parents. My parents look beyond their upbringing and without any differentiation, they raised me to stand on my feet. One day my maternal aunt said, “Don’t do feminism-veminism here.” She tries to teach me a girl should be polite and always followed the men of the family. But my issue  is  I never say “Yes” I always ask “why”. So am I a feminist? To get the answer first I need to evaluate why this feminism is such a taboo that people use this word like a slang sometime. A girl believes in feminism, is ...
