Khoob ladi Mardani wo to Jhansi wali rani thi. We have heard this phrase since childhood wherein Mardani has been referred to Laxmibai for her courage and strength. For her display of valour for winning Jhansi. In our country, every woman who tries to fight for her rights and shows courage is referred to as Jhansi Ki Rani. But does it have to be the ability to use arms and fists to fight and be called as courageous? Well, I beg to differ with this. Women today are courageous in more than one way.
Courageous- She is courageous when she tries something new despite deep-rooted fear in her heart. I still remember the time when I was leaving the house for the first time to pursue my post-graduation studies. My mum was super scared and had extreme fear in her heart. What will happen, how will I manage life, will I be safe without the protection of my parents. But still, she took the decision and sent me to study and achieve my dreams. She showed immense courage then. For me that was courage. Going out of your comfort zone and doing something new, taking strong decisions is courage. Nothing can be achieved in life without passion and courage. Passion is to have the energy to achieve what you aim to achieve and courage to not let their fear, uncertainty stop them, or allow them to falter.
Aside from courageous being one of the shades of women, there are many more things that make her personalities like classy, confident, compassionate and much more. Classy- Yes, she is classy. Class is one of the mysterious essences that comes in various forms depending on the woman. This class usually comes from a woman’s sense of herself- from her confidence, her kindness, and often includes a distinct sense of style. Classy woman is all about displaying self-respect, good etiquettes and appreciation. She won’t allow her mood to affect her manners, its all about behaving in moderation and still being able to show the right place to someone who crosses limits with her.

Confident- Rarely will you find a woman who goes with the flow and doesn’t question what she is asked to do. Is one of the traits of confident women that they are never afraid to voice their opinion and get herself heard. Compassionate- Research shows that women are more compassionate than men. When things are left on women to decide they take major decisions basis on compassion and long term effects it might have.
The woman is made up of various shades and color and they are taking charge of their lives in this era. Being a human being irrespective of men or women, we must support her in her decisions and help her move ahead in life and enhance it.
Stay tuned for the next shade of women that is my personal favourite too. Yes, its D for Daughter.
