Following our objective to support and promote women artists and different forms of art and culture from around the World, here is our next video as part of our endeavors on behalf of #WahWoman, www.wahwoman.in, we are delighted to share a video of a #Ceramicartist from #Greece, #IfigeniaTsirou is a ceramic artist from #Thessaloniki, Greece. Her involvement with ceramics started in 2010. She is running a ceramics production company, called Hakah #Ceramics, and a ceramics gallery in Thessaloniki, called 6exi Ceramics. Her work is based on simple forms, sometimes altered and decorated in a way that combines the heritage she carries with the need for expressing her feelings and thoughts, through her work. The art of pottery has always been an avenue of artistic expression since time immemorial. Prehistoric #potters formed and decorated their vessels in a variety of ways. In olden times in Greece, often potters in one community or region made a few characteristic styles of pots. There were four major pottery styles of ancient Greece: geometric, Corinthian, red-figure, and black-figure pottery. It is so good to see the continuation of the tradition with novel artistic expressions. Watch it and support the artist:
“Our parents can show us a lot of things: they can show us how we are to be and what things we ought to strive for, or they can show us how not to be and what things we ought to stray from, then you may have the kind of parents that show you all the things about you that you want to get rid of and you realize those traits aren’t yours at all but are merely your parents’ marks that have rubbed off onto you.” ― C.

Change is inevitable. Change is constant. This time, a huge positive change can be seen with the news like this- NFHS 2019-2021 indicates that India has made significant strides in the last five years – in 2015-16, the sex ratio was just 991. India’s overall sex ratio — women per thousand men — is now at a level seen in developed countries. For every 1,000 men, India has 1,020 women.
“Words are singularly the most powerful force available to humanity… Words have energy and power with the ability to help, to heal, to hurt, to harm, to humiliate, and to humble.” (Yehuda Berg) Words are powerful, if you change your words you can change your life- they can make or break a relationship, can create friends and adversaries, can make you renowned or notorious… Thus pick your words wisely. For my recent article, I have picked up a topic people don’t talk much about as deemed to be sensitive enough not to be discussed in relations or very easily at large.
Hope most of you find it relatable enough to express your reactions, thoughts…

Don’t leave something good to find something better. When you realize you had the best , the best has found better. Drake Graham
But I reconstructed the quote the way exactly I experienced things in my life to make it feel more relatable : Don’t leave something good till the time you achieve something better. Be wise to identify the better one, be it of good or the best. Rajni Vohra
This write-up of mine “OLD HABITS DIE HARD, BUT…”is far more than a narrative of health or water as it may appear initially so. It has more to deal with #humanpsychology, subconscious mind, learning essentially #unlearning and #relearning and #behaviours . Here I have made an endeavor to share my own experience on complications and challenges that stemmed from a #habitchange . Would love to hear your experiences that you had while introducing any change in your habits. #ECOCIVILISATION#WAHWOMAN#HUMANBEINGS
Every year, International Daughters day is observed on the fourth Sunday of September, with a sincere wish and earnest belief to cherish the significance of having daughters and break the stigma, eliminate unfounded fear associated with the birth of a girl child that still grips many societies,nations where the news of a new born girl child is still unpleasant, nothing less than a curse for the family and invariably viewed as a befallen liability. As usual, my fact checking tendency to measure reality vs illusion as to where we have landed now after generations of discrimination, how much we have evolved as a civilized society and human beings- I flipped through some gender ration reports to stay in sync with the transition occurred till now in the 2021 census in India. Not surprisingly, the state(#Kerala) with the highest literacy as well (96.2 percent literate) which always remained on top showed the highest #sexratio in 2021 census too (1084** females per 1000 males). On the contrary, the state with the lowest sex ratios are Haryana , historically had one of the lowest sex ratios in the country–it had 833 girls for 1,000 boys at birth in 2011, according to the government’s Civil Registration System (CRS) data. However, not to deny or understate the phenomenal improvement that the state has achieved in the current sex ratio which has now jumped to – #Haryana features the lowest sex ratio in India with just 877*** women per 1000 males (according to census 2021 data). According to some reports, The World Health Organisation (WHO) has estimated that the natural sex ratio at birth is about 952 females to every 1,000 males. Let me also specify that pointing fingers at males only in any society is extremely unfair as an accusation for holding them responsible for this gap in the sex ratio- because in my observation, in society like ours, women have been equally unwelcoming for a female child many a times, (including so called urban, educated, independent sometimes as well, wondering??) and a bunch of other females around them expressing sympathy after arrival of a female child, an unfathomable narrative, an indication of something seriously erroneous, more grave, deeper irreparable within the society as a whole, that makes me seriously sick to the stomach. Unquestionably, this census report is an unadulterated reflection, an eye opener of the shift as nation it made from being an orthodox, patriarchal society which upheld its obsession for a male child for centuries, that was once entrenched across the nation. though, still a long way to go!
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
(Mahatma Gandhi)
In today’s World, It has become sort of a rare phenomenon to know beings who are in complete alignment with their thoughts, words and actions. Our views, in general, about those who have tendency to stay aligned with these three components or trinity is their portrayal that speaks a volume about their values, culture- essentially viewed a highly desirable trait in social beings that externally helps them to garner trust by sticking to their words, demonstrate reverence towards others by remaining committed to their words through their actions. Thus such folks are often tagged as being highly reliable, trustworthy and affable beings. In general, humans manipulative tendencies are largely responsible for causing such intentional disordersHowever, more than externally, the influence of alignment is far more deeper internally in shaping individual’s character, personality, establishing perspective about self (self-image) and elevating inner pleasantness that lasts beyond fleeting experiences -needed to keep harmony with others and self!What can be more hollow character than the one who thinks something else, tells something else and does entirely different from that, and all that happens, not inadvertently, but with well thought strategies in search of unscrupulous gains .Above all, it disrupts the flow of life energy.My learning from life -Say ONLY what you really mean-
1.Let’s decide what we want to do ( Plans, thoughts, strategies, decisions…)
2.Let’s only share with the World( if you want to) what we have decided (Words, commitment)
3. Let’s do what we said ( Action) with no gaps between Words, Thoughts and Actions.
The more we align our words and our deeds, the clearer we are in expressing our truth in the world, and the more powerful we are in bringing it into reality.
