People often say women don’t support other women — but this market proved that wrong in the most beautiful way. #WomenOfIndia #IslandStories #SisterhoodStrong #FisherwomenPower #WomenSupportingWomen #TravelWithHeart #EmpoweredEveryday #RealIndia #SheLeads

The unspoken lesson was loud and clear:
It’s not about chasing expectations. It’s about giving — giving time, effort, support, and meaning.
In spaces built on trust and community, everything finds its way
There was no rush, no race — just rhythm. A rhythm shaped by purpose, mutual support, and dignity. This wasn’t just a market. It was a living portrait of empowerment.No race with men. No loud declarations. Just a simple, powerful presence.

What struck me most wasn’t just their hard work— it was the way they worked.If a woman finished selling early, she didn’t just pack up & leave. Instead, she helped another finish her sales quickly too — so they could sit together, laugh, and share light gossip.Competition gave way to collaboration.

They were deeply engrossed in their work — their faces calm yet focused, wrapped in vibrant sarees, with sandalwood and turmeric adorning their skin. The quiet power they radiated was unmistakable. Many young women were also joining in, lending hands, learning the trade, building their own future.

Shameful negligence! A helpless snow leopard lost its life in Kinnaur because the forest department did NOTHING for two days! Villagers tried to save it with just a tarpaulin while officials sat idle.

Heard of #CETARA certification? HP is the first state to roll out certification for #Naturalfarming, promising big things—but the reality is much trickier.Loopholes, credibility struggles, and a battle for buyers. I uncover the truth in my latest story. #Agriculture 101reporters.com/article/agri...
