A letter to my superwomen

I am saying goodbye to many of my dear ones this year — it’s a mixed feeling. Happy to see all the dear ones pursuing dreams while that feeling of sadness, and emptiness remains somewhere. Not to mention, it is always coupled with the fear that we just lost one more good person from this country who may not come back.

When I was in one of those meetings with teary eyes, I came to know about a hidden superwoman. When others were saying good things, they referred to her doing multi-tasking, managing all the things at once. That is when I had that fear that consumed me entirely! Superwoman! Oh no!

Can’t we just have normal human beings? With all the mistakes? Not managing things — asking for help?

This one shows our research and fun days with Shabnam and team (left) one who is trying hard not to smile (right) the one in pink with the beautiful smile
Ashfia’s fairwell — she is the one with a smile by the flowers — in orange color

I am writing this, especially, to my girls who left and are leaving … Shabnam, Ashfia those who prioritized all the others beyond their dreams. Please have fun and be a not-so-super woman! Live like a princess you deserve to be, no one would treat you like one unless you start to believe that you are the center of your own universe!

Love, hugs and prayers
