Through the lows with pride! #MadeOfGreat!

“I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will.” -- Charlotte Bronte, Jane Eyre.

It's not an easy going job to grow up into a woman and defending herself at her roles at any stage of life.

At every other moment, a woman is taught, instilled and bombarded with the thoughts and ideas of an ideal life that she should follow and encompass. The thoughts are poured upon at every age as to what should be done at any particular stage of life.

For instance, what she should wear at ten, twelve, eighteen, twenty, and so on. Another one could be the act of how the actions should be carried out at any particular age. The deeds are being governed by societal norms. With the times, the changes are being seen, but there is not much assurance of the comfort at which women are.

It is gracious for a woman to be elegant at any age, wonderful to be fashionable and courageous to be brave at any points in the life. It requires a strong stand to bark all the set norms and baseless ideals. These are the testing times when a bold step is needed to overcome the issues and set new norms which portray a fast and forward approach for all girls and women.

One such woman that I have known who has faced life beautifully and with the best of spirits is my granny. She has faced the poverty bravely and even the riches with modesty. The humble nature that she has possessed throughout her life has been an example for the all the societies and groups she has been connected to. Because of her delivering attitude, she has been head of several social groups in the societies and mandals.

The main aim of her life has been to fight against the stagnant society. She wishes everyone to step out and achieve success and laurels in life. To fulfill this aim she has knocked several doors, talked with kids, mothers, fathers, of all age groups so that break the shell and come out of the comfort zones. She never raised her pitch to convince for any good to the society. Her persistent and consistent efforts have been fruitful.

With her learning and invoking attitude, she learnt the art of healing the physical injuries such as breaking of bones n cartilages, cervical problems and knee problems. She has been known for her doctory skills, now that age factor seems to set in that she has to forcibly give up on them. She is well versed in ayurvedic medicines without any official education. For her these services, she has been publicly available at all the times.

Also, she has a beautiful voice and delivered lessons and classes to the local populations about the importance of music, culture and heritage. She has been a staunch deliverer of the human art forms in the best form she can through encouragement. Now, that she no longer delivers vocal lessons, she has been asking kids and enthusiasts around to pursue and enroll themselves in several activities.

A cook that she is, I have learnt a lots of kitchen and cooking ethics from her. The simplest and the most complex food items that I know today are through her efforts. She has delivered sessions of cooking classes too, when one day I requested to go for it in her later 60's days.

She has been "a wonderful daughter" as I have known from my great grandfather, "a lovely wife and a beautiful person" that I got the comments from my grandfather, "a caring and humble mother" from my uncles and aunts, and "an inspiring granny" from her grand kids, and last but not the least "A lady of toil and perseverance" by me!!!

  1. Amazing woman. Cheers for her.

    With TATA Motors giving the best to the world, their association with Lionel Messi stands the best. Also, the thrill that the game of soccer holds is comparable par excellence with that of TATA Motors. The story shall go in the great responsible manner where the legend meets the legend, Lionel Messi meets TATA or TATA meets Lionel Messi, either ways. Both of them dwell amazingly into the morality section keeping highest standards in terms of perseverance, simplicity, quality, honesty, loyalty, and reputation with ultimate satisfaction for the fans, and what else could better define the association of TATA Motors with Lionel Messi, when both resemble each other into the characters of each other.

  4. The story of a Legend in herself – that’s how I will describe it in a short sentence. Very well written with words which enhance the simplicity yet greatness of the Lady. Salutations and very happy for you to have got inspired and bringing out your best in life.

    My answer: Tata is a name which any and every person can rely on for its honesty, commitment and perseverance. Lionel Messi is a legend who has carved his name in history books with total dedication to the game, simple living and improvisation which is seen with each game he plays. The association of Tata Motors and Lionel Messi as their Brand Ambassador will definitely give an edge to the Tata group over its competitors solely because the brand Ambassador also holds the same reputation of not letting his fans down ever, like Tata Motors who have given the best to the world over the decades. Its an exemplary association par excellence.

  5. Hi Amruta,

    Here is my answer
    The association of Tata Motors with Lionel Messi is that of two greats. Lionel Messi has been exceptionally talented who with his hard work, determination and sacrifices has got better and tougher in his chosen sport so is the Image, reputation and quality of TATA Motors that have transformed brilliant ideas into masterpieces of engineering and created a brand and products that we are so proud of as Indians. Lionel Messi has transformed his body and the mind body co-ordination into a masterpiece of precision and excellence it would not be wrong to say that Lionel Messi is the TATA Motors of sports where as TATA Motors is the Lionel Messi of vehicles both giants in their own spheres driven by the drive to excel and lead by example. So Lionel Messi is the best choice for becoming the brand Ambassador for TATA Motors

  6. Super well written! Grand parents are quite the best, no? They are alwasy there for us and treat us grand kids as their lives, the unconditional love, the joys of seeing us grow up, the only sad part is they all have to grow old! :(

    Cheers to many more beautiful blogs to come! :)


    Now onto why tata choice is top notch:
    I think Tata have hit their ace game with this association with Messi!
    There is no better footballer in the world today than Messi himself, likewise there is no better company worldwide that is better than tata!
    Messi's ability to quickly maneuver with the ball past the other team' defence is just as slick as the tata cars' ability to easily maneuver past all the other cars in road race.
    Just like messi's vision, to see a player making a run, to play the perfect ball to create a goal scoring opportunity, Tata's ability to envision the future and see what people will want and deliver it every single time is amazing!
    Just like how Messi has won multiple player of the year awards, tata has also won multiple awards over the years for amazing performance.
    And last but not the least, just like how messi never gets tired on the field, tata keeps going and never stops !
    Messi, for sure, IS the BEST choice tata could have gone with :)

    Tata Motors is a brand that makes durable vehicles, with its MADE IN INDIA mark makes every Indian proud. It is a brand seen globally as Trusted, Reliable, Innovative and at the forefront of technology. In its journey since inception it has overcome all odds, competition, and adversities with grit and determination. These same qualities are associated with Lionel Messi who was very talented and hardworking from a very early age. With each game that he played he kept improving his skills and built a career to become one of the best player of professional football. There qualities make both TATA Motors and Lionel Messi giants who perfectly compliment each other and Lionel Messi the right and perfect Ambassador who stands for the same values that TATA Motors does.
