So a lot of people talk about women's empowerment in general, right?

Like, you know, there's a lot of slogans about women's empowerment.

But you are a living proof of creating products and not slogans.

So how do you go about that?

What does it mean to you in the first place?

But I still see this society, women rarely get the recognition of the sacrifices they have made.

My grandmother was a widow at age 13.

at age 13 and you know and she never was married after that like you know she she's my mother's father's sister and she lived with us right all her life and uh for the longest time because she used to be the person who used to come grab me from the school and walk me back home and that was my

breakfast for the evening and like you know in late late dinner and I remember like 95 on my on my birthday you know she had a stroke and so she refused to take treatment because in our in our in our family trading for education versus trading for health

Uh, was like something we always had to do.

What is more important?

And so she traded her life for my education, just like my mom did.

And when I, when I think about like success and all that bullshit that people talk about, like, you know, they like, agar aap jaake Google mein mera naam daalo gaye, toh mere hi baare mein aayega, lekin unke sacrifices ke baare mein kabhi nahi aayega.

The love of the mother, the unconditional support of the grandmother, their care and affection, they never talk about it.

And like, you know, we as men always take women for granted.

This is my general assumption.

Even my wife will tell me about it.

She'll say like, you know, if she's watching this, she'll say, dude, you're a hypocrite.

Because sometimes even I forget how to recognize like what she's doing for me.

You know, so we haven't transcended as a society.
