What I can contribute to eradicate inhumanity from our society?
What I can contribute to eradicate inhumanity from our society is my writing. I
strongly believe that with the power of my pen. I can move hearts strengthen minds
and purity the souls with my writing.
What makes me among the 25 women of virtue are the following?
1. The power of my pen
2. My unconditional love
3. My life which has served as all example for women across the world.
4. I have sailed in rough seas and through my writing I lead a constant struggle for
the marginalized, the destitute and the voiceless. I firmly believe Aristotle when
he says, 'The beauty of the soul shines out when a person bears with composure

one heavy mischance after another, not because he does not feel them, but because he is a ,man of high and heroic
temper.'
Therefore, it is with the same feelings and composure of mind set that I have accepted the ups and downs of life.
Very often I tell to people around me that all that happens in our life happens for our own good. Vicissitudes in life
are the main driving force towards peace and progress.
When did you find sense of Depersonalization in you and how?
When I started my teaching career, I started feeling that my students are my own children. I did not find any difference
between them and my own kids. I felt a great concern for their education. During my whole teaching career, I never had a
single student who failed in my subject. Till today, I do the same justice and I have the same love for all children
irrespective of their colour, caste or creed.
How and what talents you used in spreading love, peace and humanity?
My pen is my greatest tool on which I lean upon to spread my thoughts and my philosophy about love, peace and
humanity. In addition to this, I have always been soft – spoken and encouraged people to move on in life with positive
ideas. The powers are in our hands, we have to dig ourselves to catch the treasures we have been endowed with as human beings, wonderful creations of God.
Do you feel you have a sense of making people happy?
One thing I am sure about is just like the peacock spreads around its tail to exhibit the rarest of beauties, I spread around my positive vibes which make people
happy. Very often, they come with all types of problems like difficulty in getting a job, a loan, life partner, to mention but a few and I help to sort out their
problems. So many seek our advice on health issues and my daughter, Dr Rajnee helps them out. The most beautiful part of it is that when they come to my
home, they adore the beauty and tranquility around and they do not want to go back. Spreading happiness around is very important to me and my family.
Your personal views in building a perfect human being in you?
Since my childhood, I have been a sweet and intelligent girl. However, hardly after a few years after my marriage, I underwent a total change in myself. A thirst for
spiritual knowledge developed in me and I would grab any book that spoke about God, religious matters, spirituality and so on. I started exploring the Bhagwad
Gita, the Vedas, Bible, Quran, life of great thinkers and philosophers and so on. I read lots everyday and slowly my thirst was quenched though not totally as there
are lots of explorations to be done. Maybe one lifetime is not enough.
Then only, I started exploring myself. The sages say, 'Know thyself.' It took me several years to know myself, my strengths and my weaknesses. One by one I
worked on my weaknesses like anger, envy, prides, lies, etc and the process was very difficult. I started developing the finer qualities and finally I became a woman
of substance with a beautiful mind. Then my writing career started and now my pen has become the inoffensive weapon with which I struggle everyday to make
of this world a better place to live. Like me, there are hundreds and hundreds of women across planet earths that are networking in their multitasking to make
humanity clean, clear and cheerful. United we will succeed for the world is humanity`s home and we are all children of the same God.
