In 2005, I was the first Indian woman to win a WTA title. Big deal, right? When I was world no. 1 in doubles, people were keen to know when I’d settle down. Winning six grand slams isn’t settled enough for society. I'm grateful for the support I've received along the way, but can't help and think why a woman's achievements invite conversation about gender 'expectations' and appearances, instead of her skill and the work itself.
Seeing this #ad from @urbancompany_UC brought up some of those feelings. I know having a real conversation about society is difficult and sometimes uncomfortable, but an introspection on the way we engage with women's success is perhaps long overdue.
Congrats to the Kansas City @Chiefs, MVP Patrick Mahomes, Coach Reid, Travis Kelce, Chris Jones, Mecole Hardman, and the rest of the champs for another Lombardi Trophy. Grace under pressure.
Om Namah Shivaya!
He is Adi Yogi,the first yogi.
He is Dakshinamurthy, the greatest teacher
He is Rudra,the destroyer of evil
He is Nataraja,the Lord of Dance.
He is everything, he is nothing.
Jai Bholenath. Planning to stay awake through the night. SHAMBHO 🙏🏼
