I have been an epilepsy patient since the age of 10 years, when I got my first major fit, the only saviour was my mother, she taught me how to be strong in the most adverse situations.
She is the one who has taught me how to come out from my depression with her words, "Mann ke hare har hai, mann ke jeete jeet"
She has always endured life's problems with immense strength... to being tolerant, I have learnt from her only.
She is not only a mother and inspiration but also a good friend without whom I would feel so lost.
She is my whole world and I am so proud of her.

I cannot really single out any woman in my life as my sole inspiration. My mother, aunt and grandmother all are exceptionally strong women, and I am lucky to have them in my life. I have grown up listening to the stories and accomplishments of other amazing women in my family too.
I have grown to be motivated by their approach to life despite having never met them. I have seen my friends navigate their lives with such grace and strength that puts even fiction to shame!
I am lucky to be living in the Age of Information wherein I have learnt of the great women who are currently dominating the global landscape, snatching their rights from under the noses of their oppressors.
I consider myself to be a humble follower in their footsteps.
When life comes calling, I hope to be just as strong as they have been.

I think for many of us our biggest inspiration tends to come from our mothers and grandmothers and mine is no different. But besides my mother and grandmother, another person who inspired me whilst growing up was my friend in secondary school.
She was one of those top performing students in class, the one the entire school sang praises for and the one you would look up to for motivation to study hard even in subjects that appear dull and boring. In a private, all-girls school, I can say for sure many envied her "Einstein" brain yet at times were in awe of her ability to make achieving top grades seem like a piece of cake when honestly it really wasn't.
For me personally, whenever I felt I couldn't achieve what I wanted or was beginning to lose motivation to study, one look at or thought of my friend was all I needed to motivate myself to be just like her and study hard to achieve well academically. What made her unique and stand out was that while many at her age found it difficult to strike the correct balance between study and play, she just always got to right.
While the marks and grades are not the only reason to pursue education and study, one cannot deny they hold great importance when moving further into higher education. So thank you T (I won't reveal her name) for motivating me and many others and for just being "Ace!"

I think we all have a woman in our life (mother, grandmothers, sisters, cousins, friends) who have set an example for us and have made us proud and inspired. I have seen and learnt something from many of them. It's amazing how everyone has something to offer, something to learn from.
I had visited an organisation few years back where they gave shelter to women who have been a victim of human trafficking. They were living there because they had no place else to go. The society didn't accept them, their families, their friends didn't accept them. Their stories were unfortunate and something you didn't want to stay in your memory however their strength, their courage and their fight for a better tomorrow was truly inspiring. They had been through what can be defined as hell yet they were still strong, still adamant to make their place in this society. They were working, learning and making themselves independent as not to give the reigns of their lives to anyone else's hands. Some of them had started working and had a good job while some had already moved out and living independently. Their determination to make their lives better was something to learn from and very inspiring.

It is really difficult to share one inspiration as I feel in some way or the other each person brings some level of inspiration in one's life. Yet, I will share with you one person that keeps inspiring me even if she is not around anymore. She was the pillar of my family, my Nani.
She met with an accident which made her paralysed till the end. She could also not see very well. Despite all of this, she always used to keep all her pain aside and smile, crack jokes and tease me, refusing to let anything come in the way of happiness with her loved ones.
Her sense of patience made me realize that no matter how tough a situation can be, it's important to bring that small light in others life, because you never know what they are going through. She may have left but her lessons and her adorable smile are what help me go through life with positivity.
Nani, I love you and I miss you.
Wishing you all a Happy Woman's Day - feel free to share your individual inspirations!
