Cheering for ‘HER’
On Mentza last week, Shekhar Kapur spoke about the ‘fear of being stuck in the ordinary’. When it comes to ‘HER’ I guess, we have so much inspiration all around, that there is really no cause for such fear. Last week on Mentza we were so fortunate to hear so many inspiring ‘HER’ stories. Sample some of them here.
Aspire for Her

The fantastic founder of Aspire for Her – Madhura Dasgupta Sinha and her wonderful team Reema Sen, Ruchita Tandon, Dipika Singh, Jayita, Yashasvi & Sneha were all on Mentza through the last week bringing inspiring stories from their work in the community. Listen to them and I am sure we will all have the urge to contribute to this noble mission in our own unique ways.

An ENT surgeons journey to political activism and becoming the bold change crusader. AAP as a fairly new political outfit in the country is a breath of fresh air.
