INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY



The day stands for the recognition of the indomitable spirit of women, their hard work and dedication, combined with virtues of love, compassion and perseverance, helping them excel in their areas of interest...

While the day began in Europe in 1911, it was not until 1975 that the UN took note of their issues of access to education, employment, equality, franchise and discrimination seriously...

The theme for 2023 is -
“DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality.”...

That being said, research has revealed a rather disturbing and rising trend, since 2015, of women in senior positions opting out, which could possibly with time spill over to the subordinate ranks as well...

The world recently witnessed several women from the upper echelons of power deciding to call it a day. It commenced right from Magdalena Andersson in November 2021, Angela Merkel the following month, then Liz Truss, Sanna Marin, Jacinda Ardern, and now with Nicola Sturgeon’s resignation there appears a likelihood of fewer women aspiring for positions of power in the future...

Ambitious, but overworked and under-appreciated, women aspire for a different work culture which they feel confident of handling. Women have been seen to prioritize career advancement, flexibility, employee well-being as well as diversity, equity and inclusion over everything else...

With micro-hurdles still abounding in their ascent of the corporate ladder vis a vis their abilities and performances, working women are among the most stressed employees globally, with responsibilities at home and at work which could lead to burnout and exhaustion at higher rates than men...

Nevertheless, proving their mettle during testing times with a natural smile bears testimony to a woman's joy and happiness that comes with responsibilities...

I believe that women enhance the beauty of our world, by their mere presence, enacting their various roles of daughter, sister, soulmate, wife, mother, friend, counselor etc., to perfection...

While it is time to do away with the "men are more equal" concept, I would also like to add that woman wasn't created by nature just to do all the man's work, but also for everything that he cannot... 🙂🙂

Happy International Women's Day to all !

🙏🙏💐💐

FLAWED PRINCIPLE

It is International Self-Care Day today, and yet another 24th, marking 17 months of conflict in Eastern Europe. With t he Kerch Strait bridge suffering yet another damage last week and Russia, almost reflexly, putting brakes on the hitherto 'food-prices stabilizing' Black Sea grain deal followed by strikes on Odesa, fresh dark clouds of hunger loom large on several dependent nations... With much water having flown under the 'David-Goliath' bridge, one wonders whether peace would ever be given a chance, since such moves of hope are hardly visible over the horizon... While it is said that everything that begins has to end, b e it lives, an event, a thought, an article, anything, but perhaps war not so easily; not unprecedented either. Yes, it could end after a certain length of time, anybody's guess, but in this context one would now certainly ask as to 'at what cost?'... No constituent of nature works on a principle of profit excep...

WORLD BRAIN DAY

22nd of July is observed as World Brain Day since 2014. The day was chosen during the 21st World Congress of Neurology held in Vienna on September 22, 2013 under the aegis of World Federation of Neurology, which incidentally was also formed on 22 July, in 1957... The day aims to educate people regarding brain health, to help people afflicted with neurological disorders, and to the furtherance of research and advances in therapies and prevention... The theme for 2023 is - "Brain Health and Disability: Leave No One Behind"... Brain, a conglomeration of nerve filaments and connections, which if untangled would measure a distance of around 60 kilometers, plays a pivotal role in all aspects of our intellect, thoughts and response... About ten trillion connections thus help us see, register, read, write, speak, learn, think, analyze, move etc. to face the challenges thrown at us on a daily basis at all levels, irrespective of age, race, gender, nationality and soci...

The 1845 born Nobel Laureate of 1901, Röntgen majored in Physics and completed his PhD at the University of Zurich.. Discovering X-rays accidentally while using cathode rays for images of his wife’s hand, which depicted the bones and the wedding ring, Röntgen had made a giant leap for mankind in medical diagnosis.. International Day of Radiology (IDoR) was first celebrated in the year 2012 with the combined efforts of the European Society of Radiology (ESR), the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), and the American College of Radiology (ACR).. The ESR began the European Day of Radiology on February 10th, 2011, but soon it was replaced by the International Radiology Day, along with the decision to change the date to November 8th, commemorating the day of Röntgen's discovery.. The theme for 2024 is - “R...
