    1. I remember reading somewhere… never underestimate a man’s ability to underestimate a woman!! 🙄 They have been doing it for ages! But it’s time they changed their internal wiring and started thinking about women in a more positive light!

  1. The engine roared to life and his male ego just went flat out… Lovely drabble Shilpa 🙂 Cheers to all those women who just go about their work without clamoring for attention, their actions and silence speaks louder than words ever can!!

  2. good one shilpa … being in a automobile company I constantly struggling making my leaders understand and gender has nothing to do with expertise…

    1. Aah! You face it!! Punch them real hard with your work and knowledge and expertise! All the very best, Apporva 🙂
