How am I breaking the bias— I once read somewhere that changing the whole world is not one’s responsibility. Therefore, rather than taking “break the bias” at a larger scale, I am doing it just by setting a right example for my two lovely daughters. I have been showing them live examples of-
Nothing can stop you doing from what you wish to do, just the Will is required, rest are all excuses. That there is always a hope for new start in life.
You can fulfil your dreams at any point given in life.
A women is self sufficient, when it come to be playing different roles in life and yet can achieve things she has planned.
I am breaking the bias when I receive messages from women in my network and they say “You are really an inspiration”.

Breaking the Bias by Ontologist Aashmeen Munjaal
Breaking the bias is not only about your personal life, professional life, or social life. It is about your sentimental and emotional life as well. Breaking the Bias is also going beyond the norms and the old patterns that exist in society, which tells us about what we should do and what we cannot do. It is going beyond your boundaries while discovering yourself and knowing yourself. We, humans, are unlimited souls. But we have put limits on ourselves that are created by our logical minds and logical boundaries. I am proud of myself that I can go beyond my boundaries!
Whenever you are confident, you are being yourself. You are not being anyone else. You are not hiding under the facade. Whenever you are yourself, there is no bias. Bias comes when you are comparing between two things. But there is no one out there. Whenever breaking the bias, it is about going beyond any comparison and multi-ness; and it is all about oneness. So, me being one with my own self is breaking the bias!

Breaking the bias:-
I have started my own company at a young age and have always worked very hard to make it work.
When I started my work initially I was advised by a lot of people to hire a C.E.O to help me manage my work and this suggestion usually stemmed from the fact that I was a young woman starting out on my own, my family however always believed I would be able to manage on my own and this kept me going.
People in my company are always hired because they work hard and not because of their gender. I have tried to inculcate this practice from the very beginning that the people we hire are there because we think they can do well.
I went to see my sister yesterday who lives in my neighborhood. We were having tea at her house when her boy who is four years now, fell on the...

Pocket money and piggy banks have been used for years to impress upon the children the importance of managing money. However, this practice is usually done with teenagers and with very little to support this learning. Children learn about the transactory value of money very early on in their lives. So why do parents wait to teach them about money? The age-old argument about preserving their innocence doesn’t quite cut it. They’re already learning about money from their environment, if not implicitly. By introducing the topic, parents are not taking away any innocence but providing context to what they are already seeing all around them.
There are many reasons why parents should address this topic early on, like the following:
Understanding of Consequences
Children need to learn that not only does money have value to buy things but there are financial consequences to all spending decisions. This is a crucial part of their development.
Decision making
Children at an early age learn the art of decision making. This affects them in every sphere of life and is set at an early age. It would be helpful to guide this learning when the child is impressionable and still developing these core habits.
Understanding the value of work
Children need to understand that nothing comes free. The things they buy and the gifts they get are results of hard work, not handouts from an ATM.
Delayed gratification and impulse control
These values are very important in anyone’s life. They affect all types of decision making and can cause severe life changes. Hence, the need to enforce these values early on and set the right foundation for the future.
Many parents feel like this conversation is too stressful to bring up with their little one. However, this stress is felt by the adults who are struggling with the issue, not the child intent on learning everything about the world around them.
Money is an integral part of life which affords us the right education, a good environment and social security. Therefore, money management is not a life skill that should be ignored or put off. So when is the right time to start impressing the right values about money? Right when a child stops putting it in their mouth.

Shivani always anticipated a normal life just like any other girl hailing from Delhi. She never had very high aspirations or life-sized dreams. She even got what she ever hoped for; a quality education, a promising career, a lovely married life as a working woman as well as a homemaker and two wonderful kids. But then life does not always work the way you expect it to. It has its own ups and downs. It sometimes shatters you completely from inside with a cruel blow and then uplifts your spirits with a truly amazing and unexpected gift, reviving you with the strength to move on.
That’s the story of Shivani Saxena, a 43-year-old wife, mother, lecturer, homemaker, fitness enthusiast and model. Shivani did her schooling from DAV model school and her Graduation from Delhi University. She also did Teacher’s Training and a Fashion Designing & Merchandising course besides accomplishing her Post Graduation in Textile Science.
Shivani has been married to Saket Anand for 22 years who is a working professional with an MNC. Apart from being a caring and loving spouse, Saketisalso a doting father. Shivani and Saket were blessed with a son, Vedant and a daughter, Saanvi. Just when life seemed perfect and Shivani considered herself fortunate enough to have such a wonderful family, fate had something terrible in store for them. Two years back, seventeen-year-old Vedant was snatched away from them by the cruel hands of destiny in a road accident. Shivani’s world fell apart and she felt as if she will never be able to overcome her grief. But thankfully with the support of her loving husband and her in-laws, she conjured up the strength to fight her anguish and managed to get back on her feet again.
Despite of her attractive looks and pleasing personality, the thought of modelling or participating in a Beauty Pageant never crossed Shivani’s mind until she turned forty. But as someone has very rightly said; it’s never too late to start dreaming. Shivani came to know about the ‘Mrs Delhi NCR’ beauty pageant on social network. She enrolled and was not merely shortlisted to participate but ended up winning the title of “GOODWILL AMBASSADOR Mrs Delhi NCR 2019”.
“I always kept myself well-groomed and fit but it was only after forty that I seriously considered pursuing modelling. Participating in the pageant was my first step in this direction and since then I have done various fashion shows & photo shoots for magazines, clothing brands and jewellery.”, replied Shivani when asked about her new-found passion.
Shivani gives the credit of her success to her husband and her in-laws, especially her mother-in-law who stood by her for every career choice she made. She says when her kids were young, she took a break from her career to focus on her children but as they grew up, she decided to concentrate on her career again and pursue her own interests. This decision of hers was also supported by her family.
When we asked Shivani to share the secret of her everlasting beauty and fitness, she had the following pearls of wisdom to share, “I have always taken pride in following a healthy lifestyle, I stay away from Junk food and enjoy simple home cooked food. I drink lots of water, I believe in the practice of sleeping early and waking up early. I do Yoga and Aerobics at least 5 days a week, which improves my metabolism and keeps a check on my weight.”
Shivani Saxena stands today amongst us as an embodiment of the quintessential woman whose unyielding and undying spirit motivates us to bounce back no matter how rough life treats us. She is a true inspiration and a living example for our those readers who dream of becoming something in life but either think that it’s too late to realize their dreams or are too bogged down by the tribulations of life. KUDOS SHIVANI!!

She loves every ounce of her..
She shed tears for a moment and then gets up to fight again..
She stands up for what she believes in….
She never settles for what she is..
She has the world at her fingertips…
She refuses to be defeated..
She is strong
..because she is a woman
I have a story and I don’t feel ashamed to share it as I believe it will inspire a lot of women out there who like me at some point of time thought of ending their life. Perhaps due to depression, rejection or lack of any support or motivation.
Being a survivor of women violence, having a median nerve injury in my right hand, I am unable to perform any kind of activities. I have gone through many difficult phases of life. But I have overcome my fears, overcome my disabilities, and here I am stronger, more determined to achieve my goals in life. I chose to rise and fight against the deterrents of life in spite of a tough battle with my family. Every time I felt low, I picked myself up and tried again and again and again…
You may feel week, but within you is the strength to live, within you is the strength to overcome and achieve what you deserve.
Nothing can stop you until and unless you give up. With the median nerve injury I lost Almost 10 kgs..
I always love myself being fat or fit.. But falling in love with the process of becoming the very best version of yourself is always awesome.
Eating healthy makes me happy.. And i never believe in starving.. You don’t have to eat less but you need to eat right. Results don’t show overnight. It will require dedication, it will require willpower, it will require sacrifices.. But it’s worth it…
Always remember “All progress takes place outside the comfort zone”
Inspired by Aditi Govitrikar Mrs World 2001. Always believing that a girl is complete when she becomes a woman, and playing different roles in her life like a wife, a mother, a daughter-in-law..
Joining a beauty pageant was always my dream. Pageantry allows women to become a better version of themselves. Beauty, Brain and heart mix well.. Its brings out passion and poise. Improves your communication skills… It’s not about competing with others but with yourself.
In the year 2017.. I joined Mrs India Earth…

The universe brought me opportunities and I embraced it. With the title of Mrs West Asia Universe I participated in Mrs Universe 2018 in Cebu, Philippines.
I bagged the title of “Mrs Universe Kindness” on 10th December 2018 representing India with 88 contestants from different parts of the world. Her National costume was Design by Mr Unni Krishnan from Kerela.. who has design costume for manushi chillar, Miss World and many international winners. The theme for the costumes goes this way.
From centuries Indian Goddesses has been worshipped down from the hoary past as nurturing mothers, protectors of community, human problems, symbols of purity, the origins of the fertility of the crops and human being. They are the source of power for Hindu religion. Warrior goddess, whose mythology centres around combating evils and demonic forces that threaten peace, prosperity and dharma of the good. Women were always been empowered. Celebrating womanhood.. celebrating empowered woman..
Recently running my own label brand “Haasoti” where you can get handpicked fashion clothing and accessories.
I am also working for the welfare of animals.. with my NGO ‘Awas foundation’. Where i am working for the security and wellness of street animals.
My family was a constant support in my success journey.. Me as responsible queen want to help any other women become economically independent, make them aware of different women rights, to make the society more responsible towards women-related causes, to provide them platforms where they can showcase their creativity and talent, to help them get guidance and counselling over issues and most importantly, to motivate them and to support them to do things that will make them stand taller with Pride & Dignity.
No matter what happens I will continue on this journey wherever life takes me.
Because I put my heart and soul into my own transformation as woman. So I make it my legacy to change to way beauty is perceived but most importantly to change the way women see themselves.
This is my life and my journey to share, empower, grow and inspire! I will never stop fighting because life is to beautiful not too.
