My first question to you is not to you it's to the little girl inside you because i feel like our inner child never dies so for that inner child in you what why did you choose to get into public service like there must have been some kind of seed of inspiration somewhere so i want to hear about that firstly

well I knew that the position in government is a position of influence where you can get things done because I saw my father getting things done my father belonged to a a very influential family of Amritsar when I was growing up and he was a go-to person my grandfather was a go-to person because they were influential and what did he do to help others in need because people would approach him for help and I was as a teenager watching it listening to it and he would call up the superintendent to police he would call up the collector and get things done which were right of course my father was only supporting what was legitimately the dew and i used to get see him getting things done but also justice happening so it settled in my mind that the go-to people are the people in government and and those in public service in these positions and if i when i grow up i too can get things done why can't i also be one day be in public service where i can also be of help to others i can also be what do what my father is getting done through somebody else but he's getting it done he's getting justice done so i started to see him getting justice delivered just as done but expedited so why can't i be that person to whom he's calling who would be delivering justice right so i love this it settled in my mind that why i would one day grow up also to be that person who can get things done and does justice see two things get things done and do justice

The question is My first question to you is not to you it's to the little girl inside you because i feel like our inner child never dies so for that inner child in you what why did you choose to get into public service like there must have been some kind of seed of inspiration somewhere so i want to hear about that firstly ###Assistant: well I knew that the position in government is a position of influence where you can get things done because I saw my father getting things done my father belonged to a a very influential family of Amritsar when I was growing up and he was a go-to person my grandfather was a go-to person because they were influential and what did he do to help others in need because people would approach him for help and I was as a teenager watching it listening to it and he would call up the superintendent to police he would call up the collector and get things done which were right of course my father was only supporting what was legitimately the dew and i used to get see him getting things done but also justice happening so it settled in my mind that the go-to people are the people in government and and those in public service in these positions and if i when i grow up i too can get things done why can't i also be one day be in public service where i can also be of help to others i can also be what do what my father is getting done through somebody else but he's getting it done he's getting justice done so i started to see him getting justice delivered just as done but expedited so why can't i be that person to whom he's calling who would be delivering justice right so i love this it settled in my mind that why i would one day grow up also to be that person who can get things done and does justice see two things get things done and do justice

not to the inner child it's to the woman that you've become now i believe that when you look at the life of any person i used to believe that we become more of ourselves until a friend corrected me and told me that no you don't become more of yourself you become more of what the world paints on to you and as life progresses you keep learning you keep evolving and you become something that you weren't at the beginning so i want to ask you the same question now when you look back at your life one were those two emotions fuelled and i'm sure they were but how do you look back at those two emotions now justice and can i call the other one power like you tell me what would you call the other one how do you look back at all this that's the question

it's been an amazing growth exactly of these two constant justice getting done and on slow constant getting things done ex the areas expanded geography expanded departments divided beneficiaries spend expanded everything expanded exponentially as i grew in my positions as i grew up in and as i grew in experience i could get things done because of my learned experience so the more i learned the more i could use my power of influence my power position it was i realized how brilliantly power was such a beautiful responsibility how you can get things done in fact in my acceptance speech which you may would come to the maxis award when i went to accept when i made an acceptance speech when i got the max's award i said policing is the power to correct power to do and power to get things done i never this is my speech i wrote at the and spoke at the acceptance speech in manila it has become one of the uh well-known speeches in in memorable speeches and it it flew out of my heart and it is exactly getting things done and the power to correct and positioning of power to correct power to do and power to get things done i think it grew exponentially

if we dial back once again there was no Looking back at her journey part of you growing up in the 50s 60s and even early 70s that thought to yourself hold on in this world that's full of men and powerful men at that i want to be yourself hold on in this world that's full of men and powerful men at that i want to be the first woman ips officer was there not a part of you that you know had some amount of self-doubt because all of us go through that i'd love to hear about your early forms of self-doubt especially related to you being a woman was there any factor like that early on

absolutely when i was growing up i was growing up to be a self-reliant woman a self-dependent woman and a powerful woman who is empowering who's to grow up empowering others i did not grow up to become a dependent woman a seeking woman and seeking help but but financially psychologically environmentally be free i was looking for freedom self-reliance self-dependence self-empowerment see i knew that if i do not do this i knew because i saw around dependence i saw trans migration of women see woman is the biggest migrant in the world because indian woman when she leaves her parents home she goes into another woman she's a migrant she migrates leaving a home which she grew up got an identity of her own and certainly migrates to another home accepts that as her home right and if she's not economically self-dependent then she's dependent i did not want i either i did not want to be a migrant and i did not want to be a dependent woman i wanted to have a home of my own certainly but the point not as a migrant and not to lose my own identity and when i was growing up as a teenager i was consciously building my uh my building i was building this architecture that as i grew up i will take the civil services examination after my master's in political science and then i would sit for the examination and policing cap i did not know i was going to be the first woman in the office of ranks of the indian police i did not know that it's only when i got to the academy of the administration and i was called by the ministry of home affairs asking me can i consider changing my option i said why they said because there's no woman prior to you in the indian police service i said i i haven't entered to become the first woman it's destiny which has made me become the first woman but that's where i belong because i want to be in a position of justice i want to reform i want to transform i want to be of value to the others because i was already a woman of value within i was already highly valued within i was a self-dependent confident very well physically very energetic and fit because i was a tennis player as well so i was see physically psychologically spiritually i was getting i was already ready for the service i was there to serve i wasn't i didn't even know what my salary would be i did not look for that i just said that's a position where you remember when i said when i was a child that's the position i wanted to be of value until now even when i'm at this age every day has gone into empowering others

hmm ma'am i'm gonna be very candid with you here uh because of this podcast i get to Men Vs Women personalities speak to a lot of people who have been in positions of power who are currently in positions of power and when i talk to men from your generation versus women from your generation which is yourself i see that there's a lot of personality differences and my reading of it and i might be completely wrong here i was born in 1993 and i've lived in a very different time but my reading of it is that i feel women have a natural sense of what in hindi we call mamta you know slight motherly nature caring like better levels of empathy and i somewhere feel that there are men often who lack that and even men of my generation are trying to build that consciously so keeping that in mind like scanning your entire career and all the experiences that you had do you think that being a woman brings its own strengths to the table in professional environments because from what you say i hear that you gave much more importance to your mission and your motive rather than the fact that oh i am a woman you know but i'm sure you must have discovered things about yourself as you went ahead in your career that maybe if i was a man i wouldn't have taken this decision but i'm taking this decision out of my sense of empathy so my question to you basically is that do women have some unique strengths in professional environments according to you

i think women in power women confident women self-dependent women skilled women spiritually and economically and psychologically strong are doubly advantaged i made it a double advantage what could have been a disadvantage by if i were weak and i was dependent and not self-reliant and not so sure of myself i could have been a liability i made my gender an asset and this effect emotional intelligence coupled with intelligence quotient and spiritual quotient all the three iqs iq eq and sq believe me in a woman becomes three times over better advantages i used it to my total i didn't use it it became my advantage why why i got more trusted i got more respected i got more access i got to hear people more people reached out to me more i got to do more problem solving why because i had the heart to listen at the time to listen i had the time to see at the time and my heart did beat for them that was a woman heart beating for them but intellectually analyzing what needs to be done so i actually got advantage of being growing up endrogenously andro and guinea and draw i because of my sports and my ncc and my upbringing i got the best of the traits of men and i got the best of the traits of women women traits i was born with which i polished nurtured became very conscious i i'm a woman and i am born with these dreams but my academics and my sports and my extracurricular activities and my own conscious training and my home upbringing got me the best of the male traits i had the stamina as equal as the men when i joined the indian police service for training as equal and somewhere even more so i think that's where my androgynous uh nature and development helped me make it doubly advantageous and that's what happens with any woman ceo look what happened with indira louie what happened with indira louie she turned her gender to her advantage and she became one of the world's best known ceos today why because she was too introgenous she had the same qualities she nurtured she turned her gender into reaching out connecting with people emo and taking care and yet being very analytical being very strategic having all the stamin and the courage for and risk taking she was she's an androgynous ceo that's why she the world looks up to her today today the world of women and the ceos today i did not know that i was growing exactly like that androgynously and with the best of the traits without knowing this is a male trait and there's a female trait but that's the right trait having being physically i have enough stamina very risk-taking and totally fearless totally insecure is it fear when when you become fearless you become fearless when you have internal security because i was financially psychologically intellectually environmentally family-wise becoming very secure i i was fearless in tough decisions i was more scrutin that's what these are traditionally called the male traits so strategic so i think that's where it be as i told you i convert not that i converted my being a woman in a male profession at that time and delivering it as a successful woman knowing what to do and what not to do saying yes to what and saying no to what i think that's where it turned out when it helped me grow it helped me grow or in all directions and even when i got dumped postings considered dumped postings it turned out to be a bonanza it turned out to be a self in fulfillment because by woman's nature is to empower others that's a typical nature of a woman empowers others she empowers others it's a natural trait of a woman to empower others what did i do what have i done all my life and a woman is a people's person because she's naturally people so two things empowering others and being people oriented and she's also accessible and she also listens these are very natural traits of a woman she's born with why should i not nurture those qualities further and being very stamina oriented physically very fit having great endurance risk taking professionally skilled see how it turned out to be to my great advantage i was not consciously nurturing them but my environment at home and my upbringing my schooling my education my university my sports my tennis competitions my ranking i was india's number one and a nation tennis champion when has ever a nation tennis champion and i was good at both i was not i was not compromising on my educational uh excellence nor was i compromising on my sports i went into the service with two streams i was growing up parallelly i was playing competitive tennis but not to be a tennis professional as playing tennis to learn the rules of the game because life is a game to play you learn to lose and win and i was learning to lose and win and i knew how to prepare to win and i knew what when you lose why you lose so i think therefore sports played a very critical role in the uh making me as an androgynous manager or a doctor's person so you see i emerged from being a woman to a person so it was not a question of i becoming a woman or a man it was a person so there's a person in me which evolved who happened to have the qualities of the woman which i don't then i kept polishing and nurturing and acquired qualities of the man which were coming through my education and my sports and and my home upbringing Impact of good parenting

and i might be completely wrong here i was born in 1993 and i've lived in a very different time but my reading of it is that i feel women have a natural sense of what in hindi we call mamta you know slight motherly nature caring like better levels of empathy and i somewhere feel that there are men often who lack that and even men of my generation are trying to build that consciously so keeping that in mind like scanning your entire career and all the experiences that you had do you think that being a woman brings its own strengths to the table in professional environments because from what you say i hear that you gave much more importance to your mission and your motive rather than the fact that oh i am a woman you know but i'm sure you must have discovered things about yourself as you

upbringing Impact of good parenting

yes ma'am um ma'am what i loved about your answer that you just gave right now is that you highlighted one of the biggest career hacks that they don't treat you in college so the way i look at it i feel uh everyone has a mix of feminine qualities and masculine qualities and depending on what you have less you need to build uh that so say if you're a very masculine man often you lack an eq often you lack a sense of empathy often you'll lack kind of a wide-eyed perspective on what can go wrong with things and you have to consciously build those like a challenge for me has been building that whole emotional side out throughout my career parallelly because i have so many intelligent capable women that work with me i have spotted some of their weaknesses also and then we have to guide them through those as well and it's different for everyone you know you'll often even see some men who are overly feminine in their traits and their personalities so they have to develop some of the masculine things but my question to you is uh about women in general ma'am and it's kind of going to be a hard hitting question so i'll give you that kind of disclaimer up front but why is it that in india we don't see more dr kiran bedis you know like why has the why has there been one of you when i compare it say to abroad there are so many more stories like yours then why in india do we have this one-off story of dr kiran bedi i we wish

no ranveer there are many today they're many today they only need more and more greater visibilitythere are many more that's a fact that when i was growing up i was ahead of my time and for that the credit goes to my home and my family are bringing i was ahead of my time there's no doubt about it i was the only property girl who was playing tennis shots and not in a skirt

The question is yes ma'am um ma'am what i loved about your answer that you just gave right now is that you highlighted one of the biggest career hacks that they don't treat you in college so the way i look at it i feel uh everyone has a mix of feminine qualities and masculine qualities and depending on what you have less you need to build uh that so say if you're a very masculine man often you lack an eq often you lack a sense of empathy often you'll lack kind of a wide-eyed perspective on what can go wrong with things and you have to consciously build those like a challenge for me has been building that whole emotional side out throughout my career parallelly because i have so many intelligent capable women that work with me i have spotted some of their weaknesses also and then we have to guide them through those as well and it's different for everyone you know you'll often even see some men who are overly feminine in their traits and their personalities so they have to develop some of the masculine things but my question to you is uh about women in general ma'am and it's kind of going to be a hard hitting question so i'll give you that kind of disclaimer up front but why is it that in india we don't see more dr kiran bedis you know like why has the why has there been one of you when i compare it say to abroad there are so many more stories like yours then why in india do we have this one-off story of dr kiran bedi i we wish ###Assistant: no ranveer there are many today they're many today they only need more and more greater visibilitythere are many more that's a fact that when i was growing up i was ahead of my time and for that the credit goes to my home and my family are bringing i was ahead of my time there's no doubt about it i was the only property girl who was playing tennis shots and not in a skirt

okay let me let me rephrase my question why at that time did we see doc a few fewer dr kiran vedis what was stopping everyone else

during my time we had conservative parents we did not have as progressive environment as it is today we didn't have the opportunities then as we have today we did not have visionary parents in such large numbers as we have today my parents were ahead of their time that is why i became ahead of my time and stay ahead of my time but now as i see myself around there are many many today they're men now women have broken all barriers they've gone into uniforms in armed forces haven't they they've flown the best of the fighters fighter pilots they're into navy army air force ips director generals of police armed forces where are they not today the ceos of companies where are they not today but when i was up there we did not have parents of my kind those people they were far ahead of the time i knew it i knew my parents were ahead of the time i recognized it why because all my class fellows parents were only only dressing them up saving money to marry them off with dowries whereas my parents were investing every bit of their penny into my education into our education we were not one we were four girls in the house all four were invested so my parents had said sky is the limit for your education keep educating yourself look girls in india particularly still still girls in india still the product an extension of the vision of their parents let me tell you till now how they educate them what kind of sense of freedom they give what kind of nurturance positivity optimism etc so i think mind was i'm a beneficiary and that's a blessing to me what i did what happened was while they gave me the 100 i gave them my hundred percent and i think we became 200 rather than being 50 why does my other friends were probably becoming 30 so many of my friends would meet me even now they said we knew you would be this we knew you'd be doing this because you were doing exactly this you see so there's a continuity and my friends still lament that they lost out why they didn't lose out because of them they lost out because their families did not give them the wings to fly my family gave me the wings to fly or as high as i wanted and i did yeah

ma'am so i'm gonna rephrase that previous question once again and i'm sorry about the way it came across but i Gender bias in society have to kind of get to the bottom of this because it's something i have been thinking about we had an entrepreneur called canalsha on the show and he brought up a stat which said that something like only five to ten percent of urban women are a part of the workforce in urban india and that's where these thought tangents start and that's why i ask you that why are there not more dr kiran vedis i mean your story was spread across the 70s 80s 90s 2000s and you'd assume that women who grew up seeing you in that position of power would think that no even i can do something also what i get from how you describe your own career is you had a strong self-improvement mentality that was a sports person inside you uh kind of plummeting ahead you know going ahead in your own career but what do we need to do to kind of have more women think that much more large about their ambitions i feel there's a lot of indian men who do and again there's a flip side to that a lot of indian men put pressure on themselves about you know oh i need to be the provider etc etc but uh in saying that a lot of indian men put lots of pressure on themselves to aim really far and for some reason you just don't see that culture in indian women and i'm sure society has something to do with it so what is that why why is this happening why is there such a small number of women in the indian workforce

must understand there's a great still bias against a woman and where's the bias the bias is in the homes and the bias is a lot in the mother and the father it starts with parenting you see in my case it was totally the opposite it was totally the opposite it was saying you got to be sky's the limit my father is to say your sky is the limit and you and you used to say you are life is not an incline you either go up or you come down kiran i continue to climb the stairs because i know if the moment i stop i will i will you cannot on a staircase be static you see either you come down or you go up right that was his message but here i'm telling you the bias begins with homes what messaging is being given by the parents as they groom their children and the way they grow up boys and girls that's where the bias is what kind of language they're using for their daughters to why doesn't she say that mother parents don't say that why don't they also say you will carry forward our our family name see so why the bias is in the home then the kind of quality education the kind of openness environment the kind of grooming of shared home why is the boy not trained to share homes home responsibilities along with the girl along with the system the biases in the home right then the best of investment in education why is more investment given into the boy because they feel the boy is the son is the security whereas the man woman is a migrant i'm using the word migrant again and again because this is where this so why have you still not woman been given equal property rights even when there's landed property why why is she being deprived so therefore i think then the way they marry then when they talk they exist the uh the urgency or the hurry to marry the girl so that she vacates the home and leaves the home for the son to and the daughter-in-law to come in these are biases in the family before you go into the career the girl in growing up is suffering of serious bias in the houses till now i had none they have all these biases that's why this five or ten percent it's others who and those who broken through the five 10 12 15 percent by now and those the credit goes to the family to a large percentage and then also to the to the girls who broke free or and they were inspired by their education by the nbas they did or the engineering they did or the medical colleges they did right they broke through all the media the inspiration we all people became inspiration for them so they took inspiration from around around and they broke free the third is parenting their parenting is never shared and it holds back that woman back again why is parenting not taught equally why because they don't see it happening in the house so the woman is losing out all that she's earned is going to go kaput the moment she becomes motherhood she's mother moment she's a mother the marriage changes her motherhood changes her so the 1m second and third money changes her because she's if she's not economically self-reliant she's dependent on the husband or after all the graduation you know some women even make a blunder they're going for joint accounts they start making joint accounts our whatever i'm earning now we have a joint account and now she starts asking can i do it wrong can i withdraw my god this is not the grooming that's the grooming which has not happened when she was growing up to be trained in financial independence to be trained to be equally capable with offer and be to be an asset to us to be self-reliant i think the word is self-reliant self-dependent and then learn interdependence not dependence you can learn interdependence but do not learn dependence you see so i think this is the grooming you i'm answering your question the seeds of bias are sown by the parents so if you want to change you need to change mothering you need to change fathering you need change parenting and you also need better teachers who keep grooming but teachers come later the kind of impact homes make grandparents make elders make on the child every day it's a drop by drop by drop and if she's continued to get a feeling that she's not equal or she doesn't have the same capability or she's not been able to going to be to be as equal or as and as Social Challenges secure as independent and confident as my brother or if there's a similar business see you have very uh rare experiences of a rare or oppo situations where the companies are also now being headed by the daughters you have ready brothers you see ready apollo is a very rare institution where all sisters are leading the apollo hospital all sisters the ready sisters because of the father or is it because they didn't have a brother i don't know that but all sisters are leading the apollo chain credit goes to the parents so you see if you go back we and nobody is taught parenting in the in uh anywhere in the world you just become a mother you just become a father and then you start treating you don't you're not trained there's no pre-marital there's no grooming what is this to be parents that's the key yeah uh you

The question is ma'am so i'm gonna rephrase that previous question once again and i'm sorry about the way it came across but i Gender bias in society have to kind of get to the bottom of this because it's something i have been thinking about we had an entrepreneur called canalsha on the show and he brought up a stat which said that something like only five to ten percent of urban women are a part of the workforce in urban india and that's where these thought tangents start and that's why i ask you that why are there not more dr kiran vedis i mean your story was spread across the 70s 80s 90s 2000s and you'd assume that women who grew up seeing you in that position of power would think that no even i can do something also what i get from how you describe your own career is you had a strong self-improvement mentality that was a sports person inside you uh kind of plummeting ahead you know going ahead in your own career but what do we need to do to kind of have more women think that much more large about their ambitions i feel there's a lot of indian men who do and again there's a flip side to that a lot of indian men put pressure on themselves about you know oh i need to be the provider etc etc but uh in saying that a lot of indian men put lots of pressure on themselves to aim really far and for some reason you just don't see that culture in indian women and i'm sure society

pre-marital there's no grooming what is this to be parents that's the key yeah uh you

you know you actually covered a lot of my further questions that i was gonna ask you attached to this honestly but i have some stuff to ask and still kind of discuss this topic with you uh so i spoke about the tangent i got from the entrepreneur who was questioning you know that why are there fewer women in the workforce and i think his blame was towards indian society and all that that's fair and that got me thinking that no what's the actual source of the blame then i had a conversation with my mom on this podcast and my mother told me that when i was born she had to take a step back from her career consciously and that time i thought okay cool thank you mom i appreciate your sacrifice but over time the obvious question was why didn't my dad take a step back somewhere then i'm grateful that he didn't because then he gave me the life that i lived out you know and this said that yes there's definitely some role of parenting that actually uh kind of finds its way into indian society and pulls back a lot a lot of women so the actual key here is to train men in fatherhood and for me the second key and this has come from a conversation i've had with a korean citizen someone from south korea who was talking about his own parents so this man was about 40 years old and his parents are probably 80 years old now and he said that when his parents were growing up south korea was a very poor country and they got independence around the time we got independence but the way that country has economically grown it's crazy and women are a big part of the workforce there and the part of their hard power the soft power all that so he said that the key is we have a culture of getting married very late in life like we we grow emotionally we grow our iq eq sq up till the age of 35 then we know what we want in a partner and then we go for marriage therefore that 40 year old man can be a better father to a 5 year old son than say a 30 year old man who's got to kind of establish his career has the pressure of earning money and then that kind of affects the marriage as well i feel the key for me is delaying marriage and kind of telling more indians to delay marriage don't get married at 23 don't get mad at 26 if you can at least delay it till like your early 30s i think that's the key um but what do you think

absolutely do you know one m changes the woman it's money how she deals with money second m which changes a woman is marriage all right that's manageable all right as well the third which dramatically changes her life is motherhood what their she now biologically yes she slips back because biologically it takes a toll on her body it takes toll on her time it takes a toll on her energy it takes a toll on her health and if she's young if she's young below 20 it takes a heavy toll right i'm glad that the marriage is age is being considered to be but now becoming 21 minimal it's absolutely because 18 used to become even 16 right so if even if we make it 21 it will still be 20 around 19 you'll see this but the point is is good why because now the woman will now have seen the world around maybe learned the skill learned the economy of scales etc and maybe learned about what is sexuality what is what is motherhood about she'll have become more trained and educated and little skilled little more self-reliant right but still the point is even if she's skilled she knows how to manage the money she's now employed but she's mother now who manages the child is there a planned child did the did the father and the mother together think through think through what's going to happen to her career why because the workplaces do not provide any support our social systems do not provide any child care support there is no child care support in our in our major companies in our workplaces and in our neighborhoods and an environment there is no child care support and what happens if she has family support yet and family also becomes a dependent if there is elder care so she is a nurse in the house she's a wife in the house she's a mother in the house and she's a work person outside she becomes four in one earlier she was a wife and maybe nurse in the house now she's a wife she's a nurse she's a mother and she's also employed and she needs the money now but who is helping her in the house nobody because that bias hadn't been uh broken the boy hasn't been made to grow up to say look if you are a father you have an equal role to play manage the home equally manage your parents equally just as your wife doesn't get to lose her job nobody does this prior contracting and discussion before motherhood before parenthood nobody does that see there's nobody and then the where are the companies which provide uh family support or after school care because now the child needs to be dropped and picked up who gives aftercare to nannies we don't have a nanny support we don't have trained nani support do you know there's a huge need just as every office needs security today every working woman or every working parents need nani support but where are the nannies are we doing any trained nannies trained nannies who can be paid and compensated or be well qualified and well provided for there's no nanny support credible nanny support if it's a boy you need a boy and if it's a girl child you need a girl is there a nanny support a working woman naturally would drop out of work so the employer knows they're going to lose in fact it's because of covet you have had women continuing to work from home right otherwise they would have dropped out that's why women do you know what happened with my life moment i became a mother i suddenly realized my god where my my daughter who looks after my daughter i can't leave her to a male male orderly i had to get a nanny transported from amritsar but that again wasn't enough i requested my parents mommy why are you living all alone in amritsar why because we were all such a close-knit family can you please come over to delhi we can all live together because you know i never wanted to be a migrant let's all stay together right and guess what thank god my in-laws no question of the opposing the fact that how can parents come and live with you it's my home it's our home so it became our home the home became open for my mother-in-law and my own mother sometimes i had both the mothers taking care of my child so it became intergenerational support how many women are fortunate to have mothers at home how many working women highly qualified reaching the top have this kind of nanny credible nanny support see unless a working woman of let's say parents parents realize that mother parenting means somebody's career time lost how do you regain because the woman to jump back i think she loses out so much career-wise compared to the men so i think that's not trot that's not talked that's not discussed when we are talking about marriages we're looking for i'm about to be a mother i'm pregnant and i'm gonna have we gonna have a baby we have shower butts but what happens after who's gonna lose the job who's gonna well some women would would happily like to skip this skit these are all personal choices i'm saying everybody have their own likes preferences and feelings about i'm against or for i'm just talking to your limitations where she's looking for support does it exist we need nani care support we need corporate family care support we need after school corporate support we need all these support and we need intergenerational living together at the moment we're going more towards single family parents living under but dude we don't realize what a strength they are if the elders are at home for the grandchild, it's a big support so I think these are unaddressed issues and they are at the moment the real ish challenges before a working woman or working parents and the men are still to realize the what it is to nurture a baby and play an equal role in father some are some are i'm not saying all i'm not generalizing anything but this is the need of the art so i'm answering your question why five percent white and why don't they make it to the top of the ladder because they drop out for their children because there's nobody else to take care of no business corporate support no social support no networking support no international generational support where do they go where do the children go children need mommy children need mommy they need daddy but they need mommy first always mommy when it's in pain mommy when they want something daddy they need both but they need money but mommy can't be all the time in the workplace so she's last starts making part time so that starts skipping i think these are the social challenges which working women who want to make it to the top of the world talking this society needs to address these issues and we must go in for a very good carder of child care trend which and if they're paid for by the company or if they are able to be provided for i think we need it very badly if possibly they also encourage intergenerational support and even geriatric care even elder care when they have medical issues who takes care it's only the wife normally who goes and takes care of the hot she again loses out on work so we need even elder care so these are the challenges for a working woman providing a having support system in elder care having home care even housekeeping even housekeeping so i think these are the challenges which actually hold pull her back to back to her traditional role of housekeeping or homemaking .

The question is you know you actually covered a lot of my further questions that i was gonna ask you attached to this honestly but i have some stuff to ask and still kind of discuss this topic with you uh so i spoke about the tangent i got from the entrepreneur who was questioning you know that why are there fewer women in the workforce and i think his blame was towards indian society and all that that's fair and that got me thinking that no what's the actual source of the blame then i had a conversation with my mom on this podcast and my mother told me that when i was born she had to take a step back from her career consciously and that time i thought okay cool thank you mom i appreciate your sacrifice but over time the obvious question was why didn't my dad take a step back somewhere then i'm grateful that he didn't because then he gave me the life that i lived out you know and this said that yes there's definitely some role of parenting that actually uh kind of finds its way into indian society and pulls back a lot a lot of women so the actual key here is to train men in fatherhood and for me the second key and this has come from a conversation i've had with a korean citizen someone from south korea who was talking about his own parents so this man was about 40 years old and his parents are probably 80 years old now and he said that when his parents were growing up south korea was a very poor country and they got independence around the time we got independence but the way that country has economically grown it's crazy and women are a big part of the workforce there and the part of their hard power the soft power all that so he said that the key is we have a culture of getting married very late in life like we we grow emotionally we grow our iq eq sq up till the age of 35 then we know what we want in a partner and then we go for marriage therefore that 40 year old man can be a better father to a 5 year old son than say a 30 year old man who's got to kind of establish his career has the pressure of earning money and then that kind of affects the marriage as well i feel the key for me is delaying marriage and kind of telling more indians to delay marriage don't get married at 23 don't get mad at 26 if you can at least delay it till like your early 30s i think that's the key um but what do you think ###Assistant: absolutely do you know one m changes the

their she now biologically yes she slips back because biologically it takes a toll on her body it takes toll on her time it takes a toll on her energy it takes a toll on her health and if she's young if she's young below 20 it takes a heavy toll right i'm glad that the marriage is age is being considered to be but now becoming 21 minimal it's absolutely because 18 used to become even 16 right so if even if we make it 21 it will still be 20 around 19 you'll see this but the point is is good why because now the woman will now have seen the world around maybe learned the skill learned the economy of scales etc and maybe learned about what is sexuality what is what is motherhood about she'll have become more trained and educated and little skilled little more self-reliant right but still the point is even if she's skilled she knows how to manage the money she's now employed but she's mother now who manages the child is there a planned child did the did the father and the mother together think through think through what's going to happen to her career why because the workplaces do not provide any support our social systems do not provide any child care support there is no child care support in our in our major companies in our workplaces and in our neighborhoods and an environment there is no child care support and what happens if she has family support yet and family also becomes a dependent if there is elder care so she is a nurse in the house she's a wife in the house she's a mother in the house and she's a work person outside she becomes four in one earlier she was a wife and maybe nurse in the house now she's a wife she's a nurse she's a mother and she's also employed and she needs the money now but who is helping her in the house nobody because that bias hadn't been uh broken the boy hasn't been made to grow up to say look if you are a father you have an equal role to play manage the home equally manage your parents equally just as your wife doesn't get to lose her job nobody does this prior contracting and discussion before motherhood before parenthood nobody does that see there's nobody and then the where are the companies which provide uh family support or after school care because now the child needs to be dropped and picked up who gives aftercare to nannies we don't have a nanny support we don't have trained nani support do you know there's a huge need just as every office needs security today every working woman or every working parents need nani support but where are the nannies are we doing any trained nannies trained nannies who can be paid and compensated or be well qualified and well provided for there's no nanny support credible nanny support if it's a boy you need a boy and if it's a girl child you need a girl is there a nanny support a working woman naturally would drop out of work so the employer knows they're going to lose in fact it's because of covet you have had women continuing to work from home right otherwise they would have dropped out that's why women do you know what happened with my life moment i became a mother i suddenly realized my god where my my daughter who looks after my daughter i can't leave her to a male male orderly i had to get a nanny transported from amritsar but that again wasn't enough i requested my parents mommy why are you living all alone in amritsar why because we were all such a close-knit family can you please come over to delhi we can all live together because you know i never wanted to be a migrant let's all stay together right and guess what thank god my in-laws no question of the opposing the fact that how can parents come and live with you it's my home it's our home so it became our home the home became open for my mother-in-law and my own mother sometimes i had both the mothers taking care of my child so it became intergenerational support how many women are fortunate to have mothers at home how many working women highly qualified reaching the top have this kind of nanny credible nanny support see unless a working woman of let's say parents parents realize that mother parenting means somebody's career time lost how do you regain because the woman to jump back i think she loses out so much career-wise compared to the men so i think that's not trot that's not talked that's not discussed when we are talking about marriages we're looking for i'm about to be a mother i'm pregnant and i'm gonna have we gonna have a baby we have shower butts but what happens after who's gonna lose the job who's gonna well some women would would happily like to skip this skit these are all personal choices i'm saying everybody have their own likes preferences and feelings about i'm against or for i'm just talking to your limitations where she's looking for support does it exist we need nani care support we need corporate family care support we need after school corporate support we need all these support and we need intergenerational living together at the moment we're going more towards single family parents living under but dude we don't realize what a strength they are if the elders are at home for the grandchild, it's a big support so I think these are unaddressed issues and they are at the moment the real ish challenges before a working woman or working parents and the men are still to realize the what it is to nurture a baby and play an equal role in father some are some are i'm not saying all i'm not generalizing anything but this is the need of the art so i'm answering your question why five percent white and why don't they make it to the top of the ladder because they drop out for their children because there's nobody else to take care of no business corporate support no social support no networking support no international generational support where do they go where do the children go children need mommy children need mommy they need daddy but they need mommy first always mommy when it's in pain mommy when they want something daddy they need both but they need money but mommy can't be all the time in the workplace so she's last starts making part time so that starts skipping i think these are the social challenges which working women who want to make it to the top of the world talking this society needs to address these issues and we must go in for a very good carder of child care trend which and if they're paid for by the company or if they are able to be provided for i think we need it very badly if possibly they also encourage intergenerational support and even geriatric care even elder care when they have medical issues who takes care it's only the wife normally who goes and takes care of the hot she again loses out on work so we need even elder care so these are the challenges for a working woman providing a having support system in elder care having home care even housekeeping even housekeeping so i think these are the challenges which actually hold pull her back to back to her traditional role of housekeeping or homemaking .

ma'am for me the solution is probably three pronged the first is because there's genuinely a demand for these kind of businesses there has to be some kind of entrepreneurial angle around child care and generally childhood i feel there's a lot of businesses out there that can be built around people having children that don't exist in india yet so it's in the indian entrepreneurs turn you know people watch shark tank india and all this but look at a child's life and figure where you can help and make the life easier for the parents the second obviously is education of all sorts like the more people get educated you know even if it's as simple as teaching someone a second language teaching everybody english suddenly they'll be exposed to education and perspectives from across the globe you know so maybe the second one is education but the primary game changer for me and i'm i'm speaking from my own career experience i've had a six-year career in the field of content i've seen our mindsets of people have changed so it makes me think that from a macro view i want to see how far the internet gets into the country and things like this conversations like this podcast now this will reach some woman somewhere who'll have like a tiny shift in her perspective in terms of no i'd rather maybe it's a young girl who's getting ready to get married she's on the arranged marriage circuit she'll ask the right questions to the possible guys that she's meeting and look for a guy who is into the concept of fatherhood who is emotionally stable you know ma'am and the the rebuttal too i won't call it a rebuttal but i do want to chip in and say that from the perspective of men men are not even emotionally aware of themselves most men like we had an army major today we had a film director today and we spoke about men's emotions and these guys accomplished people like on the show we recorded with them today but somewhere there's so many questions about our own emotional sensibilities because there is a certain amount of very heavy pressure put on indian men to provide for the family since we're like four years old we're told that if you don't study you're gonna become nothing in life no one's gonna marry you and you're gonna turn into you know something horrible so every indian man deals with a crazy amount of career pressure which is there even in men from other countries but not as much as it's on indian men so i think some fundamental shift needs to happen which is only going to happen through content. through maybe even like culture you know movies coming out about these topics tares i mean but had a direct impact on my childhood it changed my relationship with my parents i used to have adhd as a kid so you know my teachers used to complain about me that this kid is like too hypo but my parents started understanding that situation better and just let me be so sometimes movies can really kind of shift culture which brings me to the next question and this is not me Power games & fighting barriers asking you about you is asking you about me i need advice in life at this stage because i feel like um you know we've been done with money uh like money is all right and i think i'm going in the right direction when it comes to money but often now that damaged indian boy inside me questions himself about legacy so i want to ask you about this concept of legacy ma'am like how do you look at your own legacy do you look at it as something you wished for early on in your career how do you look at it now like what how do you look back at your life would you change anything uh do you still have uh you know even deeper say career ambitions i'm trying to wrap my head around this concept of legacy because it's honestly been troubling me because of the narratives that i've been fed from the world of sports you know build your legacy go kill it there should be movies made about you but even that puts pressure on you as a man or a woman or whatever you are so uh what's your take on legacy ma'am.

i think i had more potential to administer and serve and give better uh original ideas in governance i could have been used better i could have been used more i had that in me maybe i was born with it or i was blessed with it or i nurtured it my department the indian police service has not fully fully realized my potential they kept dumping me into positions it is my own dent and determination which made me kept emerging out of it let me give you an example even the position of deputy commissioner police traffic was a dump nobody was going there it went during during ninth asian games i was just told one day you got to do it and that's it it was just an year and a half i didn't know anything about the roads i knew it's going to be a waterloo because i how would i handle entire delhi for traffic right it was a dump for me but you know because people were not willing to take that risk but after i left it became a very prestigious position to be in but the point is but after i'd accomplished a lot in the asian games traffic management i was moved away immediately sent away instead of realizing and allowing me to now take the whole system forward and systemize it i was shunted never realized to put systems in place then again my draft uh crime prevention asia i moment i was blooming i was putting systems in place i was shunted out then there was no place for me nine months there was no work for me i was sent to the ig prison because nobody was going as inspector general president nobody it was lying vacant when i was being um sent there was no work for me they said there's no work finished so i was nine months being paid one day the accountant said i can't pay her more unless you give her work so promptly in order came posted as inspector general prisons because what did you happen it was a dump but today it's a it's a it's a marking place for the next police commissioner of delhi it's now such a va such a uh a position of huge value i was but what happened from that we emerged again it was an emergence it was sure determined then i was overlooked to be a police commissioner of delhi i was the you delhi india world over would have had a first woman police commissioner in the world i would have gone in by merit i was on merit five open so here again i was excluded they never realized my potential we were put systems in place of crime prevention and my strength was crime prevention that's why i succeeded in uh prisons because i trusted lee believed in crime prevention it's a maxis award which highlighted the whole work otherwise it for me it was a dump but being overlooked to be a police commissioner of delhi when i had the seniority and my somebody who was next junior four years junior he even if i'd done my two years he could have got a ten year of two years but it wasn't it was a now get her out why because i was not the part of the club i was not part of the boys club that boys club see so i was isolated i didn't have the political support i was out i was told go and meet so and so then you will consider you i said i don't meet you are the union home minister sir you are the you are the end of the service you are the one who has to decide i shall not go anywhere else i did not what happened i was overlooked the news came at 10 pm at television at night to avoid why police commissioner of delhi a point order came at 10 o'clock at night to make news on television at night so it doesn't make news during the day next year this news was stale i was overlooked what did i do self-respecting self-respecting totally secure i put in my papers and i took early retirement why did i why did the indian police service lose my very valuable another two years of my service had i been the police commissioner of delhi i would have put lots of systems in place which i had experimented with and succeeded in my earlier assignments so i think this is what do you know the only time to be honest with you when i've realized my potential is as left in governor puducherry and i was given full five years to work first time in my career ranveer in my 40 30 less than 30 years or so i have had a posting where i fitted like a tea and i was given on merit and i was trusted to go and serve and then nobody interfered and look the kind of work we could create we could turn puducherry around we could document we could totally uh made it make a new model that once one side passed that the political hostility and the western units came in the way that's different but the fact is i was picked up by the prime minister himself given me an opportunity i'm not i'm not praising him it's not a politically it's a i'm telling you a sequence first time in my life i was called when i left the service when i left the service i was called would you like to go and work there i said yes sir first time in my life i asked myself i'm even being asked would you like to go there otherwise i've only been dumped here dumped here you won't believe it i even had a police delhi police assignment which had no work so when i asked my joint commission then commissioner sir you hosted me a joint commissioner of policy and planning can you tell me what is the policy in planning he said you got a car you got an office you got a secretary i said yes he says that's all go i said then all right sir here's my study leave i want to go back to my um i want to now go by my nehru scholarship i'd achieved a nehru scholarship and i went and wrote a book the point here is my if you're asking me my legacy i think the indian police service my delhi police department has under utilized me in my this life it is i who kept emerging out of postings which were considered as low end low end when i should have been posted as joint commissioner of ranges they were sending me to some other back backyard postings so they but the point here is the only way as i said the uh last assignment which is the left and governor puducherry has been exceedingly fulfilling and to me that's my legacy conscientiousness because the work was so collectively successful despite all odds that i felt it my duty to do justice to the historical documentation and that's why this book has been written fearless governance and you know it's not it's not for selling i'm sharing my soft copy everywhere saying please read because i'm looking for grooming of leadership the young upsc the young civil servants the young should read what's what leadership is all about where they can do it all so this is my legacy.

The question is ma'am for me the solution is probably three pronged the first is because there's genuinely a demand for these kind of businesses there has to be some kind of entrepreneurial angle around child care and generally childhood i feel there's a lot of businesses out there that can be built around people having children that don't exist in india yet so it's in the indian entrepreneurs turn you know people watch shark tank india and all this but look at a child's life and figure where you can help and make the life easier for the parents the second obviously is education of all sorts like the more people get educated you know even if it's as simple as teaching someone a second language teaching everybody english suddenly they'll be exposed to education and perspectives from across the globe you know so maybe the second one is education but the primary game changer for me and i'm i'm speaking from my own career experience i've had a six-year career in the field of content i've seen our mindsets of people have changed so it makes me think that from a macro view i want to see how far the internet gets into the country and things like this conversations like this podcast now this will reach some woman somewhere who'll have like a tiny shift in her perspective in terms of no i'd rather maybe it's a young girl who's getting ready to get married she's on the arranged marriage circuit she'll ask the right questions to the possible guys that she's meeting and look for a guy who is into the concept of fatherhood who is emotionally stable you know ma'am and the the rebuttal too i won't call it a rebuttal but i do want to chip in and say that from the perspective of men men are not even emotionally aware of themselves most men like we had an army major today we had a film director today and we spoke about men's emotions and these guys accomplished people like on the show we recorded with them today but somewhere there's so many questions about our own emotional sensibilities because there is a certain amount of very heavy pressure put on indian men to provide for the family since we're like four years old we're told that if you don't study you're gonna become nothing in life no one's gonna marry you and you're gonna turn into you know something horrible so every indian man deals with a crazy amount of career pressure which is there even in men from other countries but not as much as it's on indian men so i think some fundamental shift needs to happen which is only going to happen through content. through maybe even like culture you know movies coming out about these topics tares i mean but had a direct impact on my childhood it changed my relationship with my parents i used to have adhd as a kid so you know my teachers used to complain about me that this kid is like too hypo but my parents started understanding that situation better and just let me be so sometimes movies can really kind of shift culture which brings me to the next question and this is not me Power games & fighting barriers asking you about you is asking you about me i need advice in life at this stage because i feel like um you know we've been done with money uh like money is all right and i think i'm going in the right direction when it comes to money but often now that damaged indian boy inside me questions himself about legacy so i want to ask you about this concept of legacy ma'am like how do you look at your own legacy do you look at it as something you wished for early on in your career how do you look at it now like what how do you look back at your life would you change anything uh do you still have uh you know even deeper say career ambitions i'm trying to wrap my head around this concept of legacy because it's honestly been troubling me because of the narratives that i've been fed from the world of sports you know build your legacy go kill it there should be movies made about you but even that puts pressure on you as a man or a woman or whatever you are so uh what's your take on legacy ma'am. ###Assistant: i think i had more potential to administer and serve and give better uh original ideas in governance i could

all about where they can do it all so this is my legacy.

legacy you know i i hear you and one i'm very honored that you're using our platform to express yourself this way because i don't see it with people in positions of power like yourself you know people don't talk so openly and this is one of those trends of women that you have showcased that you're okay putting your vulnerabilities out there uh i also wish to ask you and this is slightly you could call it from a spiritual perspective how should one look at legacy because that's the big question in my head legacy as a concept what is that for you because uh we had we had a sick spiritual leader uh sat he said that uh you know spiritual growth is all about egoless service so that was that was the outcome of that podcast for me and uh that really got me questioning about my own legacy that why am i putting so much pressure on myself about legacy because therefore i'm putting pressure on myself about my own ego so what's your take on legacy generally as a concept

my take on is very simple i have not done anything for legacy i have only worked one day at a time to be honest to what i was before consciously conscientiously doing my duty and doing give it my all not my best give it my all now if that leaves a legacy so be it but i have not ever performed any duty i've documented this book my puducherry work i've documented not for legacy but to do justice to the collaborative teamwork which we could achieve it is to do justice otherwise who will tell you the story so it's not a legacy it's who will tell you the story if i don't tell you then who will tell you the story i didn't want to die with that story in myself i wanted to live it so it's beyond me the story will live so that puducherry can always have this is the way we can turn things around if public servants do their duty honestly if politicians deliver for what they've been voted for india will never suffer good governance it will always have good governance it will never suffer them suffer wrong people if they all that's what i've written in the book is what are the key things whatever i said in the legacy if you say legacy what is it that i'm trying to promote through the book be visible officers politicians be visible be true to what you've been voted for or you've been appointed for so i've been looking for appointed and the voter appointed and nominated or elected appointed and elected what are your responsibilities you may have your needs but don't forget the reason for which you've been appointed and elected once you do not forget the purpose of it whatever your other needs are the government the indian indian people will never suffer bad governance they'll never ever suffer they will always have good governance the money which will be which is budgeted for them will always remain for the common man for which it is meant and not get diverted today the money has been protected a lot from getting diverted thanks to direct bank transfers and i had a lot of opposition to implement direct bank transfers because contractors were very very attempting right or the the other areas with a lot of leakages which have been saved so i would say i've never worked for a legacy i've been only looking at one data time to do justice to what i've come for and also to see a sense of self-fulfillment for myself because i owe to myself what have i grown up for if i'm not going to deliver and succeed so i want to succeed so that everybody wants to succeed i believe in empowerment i give a tea a mantra when i took over took the oath of office the tea mantra was trusting empowering and accountability i said i trust you you trust me i empower you you are empowered feel empowered and third is i shall remain accountable as people you remain accountable to the rule of law when i said it first time a speech was made by lieutenant governor at the oath ceremony but i gave the tea mantra to the people of puducherry saying i shall remain trustworthy i shall empower you and i shall remain accountable you remain accountable to law and you feel empowered by uh will be your removal of poverty when you participate in the rule of law right and you remain uh trustworthy if we remain trustworthy empowered and accountable puducherry would be a model what we lost out on had the political class not come in the way and not unnecessarily been hostile we could have offered the model to the world of what a collaborative gov that's what indira nui said it's a blueprint of good governance indra nui released my book and she said it's a blueprint for good governance the leadership practices which have been given in the fearless governance cut across private and public sector that's what she said in the book release of a coming out of her means hell of a lot and she read the book when she released my book so that's what i said i have not done it for legacy i've only done it it was my duty to fulfill i have looked at i'm a believer in the karma yogi concept i believed in doing my karma and for me work is worship for me work is worship exactly the way my for my mother bringing us up was worship for her work is worship for me work has been worshipped and trusting that it should remain till the last day of my breath.

you know people don't talk so openly and this is one of those trends of women that you have showcased that you're okay putting your vulnerabilities out there uh i also wish to ask you and this is slightly you could call it from a spiritual perspective how should one look at legacy because that's the big question in my head legacy as a concept what is that for you because uh we had we had a sick spiritual leader uh sat he said that uh you know spiritual growth is all about egoless service so that was that was the outcome of that podcast for me and uh that really got me questioning about my own legacy that why am i putting so much pressure on myself about legacy because therefore i'm putting pressure on myself about my own ego so what's your take on legacy generally as a concept ###Assistant: my take on is very simple i have not done anything for legacy i have only worked one day at a time to be honest to what i was before consciously conscientiously doing my duty and doing give it my all not my best give it my all now if that leaves a legacy so be it but i have not ever performed any duty i've documented this book my puducherry work i've documented not for legacy but to do justice to the collaborative teamwork which we could achieve it is to do justice otherwise who will tell you the story so it's not a legacy it's who will tell you the story if i don't tell you then who will tell you the story i didn't want to die with that story in myself i wanted to live it so it's beyond me the story will live so that puducherry can always have this is the way we can turn things around if public servants do their duty honestly if politicians deliver for what they've been voted for india will never suffer good governance it will always have good governance it will never suffer them suffer wrong people if they all that's what i've written in the book is what are the key things whatever i said in the legacy if you say legacy what is it that i'm trying to promote through the book be visible officers politicians be visible be true to what you've been voted for or you've been appointed for so i've been looking for appointed and the voter appointed and nominated or elected appointed and elected what are your responsibilities you may have your needs but don't forget the reason for which you've been appointed and elected once you do not forget the purpose of it whatever your other needs are the government the indian indian people will never suffer bad governance they'll never ever suffer they will always have good governance the money which will be which is budgeted for them will always remain for the common man for which it is meant and not get diverted today the money has been protected a lot from getting diverted thanks to direct bank transfers and i had a lot of opposition to implement direct bank transfers because contractors were very very attempting right or the the other areas with a lot of leakages which have been saved so i would say i've never worked for a legacy i've been only looking at one data time to do justice to what i've come for and also to see a sense of self-fulfillment for myself because i owe to myself what have i grown up for if i'm not going to deliver and succeed so i want to succeed so that everybody wants to succeed i believe in empowerment i give a tea a mantra when i took over took the oath of office the tea mantra was trusting empowering and accountability i said i trust you you trust me i empower you you are empowered feel empowered and third is i shall remain accountable as people you remain accountable to the rule of law when i said it first time a speech was made by lieutenant governor at the oath ceremony but i gave the tea mantra to the people of puducherry saying i shall remain trustworthy i shall empower you and i shall remain accountable you remain accountable to law and you feel empowered by uh will be your removal of poverty when you participate in the rule of law right and you remain uh trustworthy if we remain trustworthy empowered and accountable puducherry would be a model what we lost out on had the political class not come in the way and not unnecessarily been hostile we could have offered the model to the world of what a collaborative gov that's what indira nui said it's a blueprint of good governance indra nui released my book and she said it's a blueprint for good governance the leadership practices which have been given in the fearless governance cut across private and public sector that's what she said in the book release of a coming out of her means hell of a lot and she read the book when she released my book so that's what i said i have not done it for legacy i've only done it it was my duty to fulfill i have looked at i'm a believer in the karma yogi concept i believed in doing my karma and for me work is worship for me work is worship exactly the way my for my mother bringing us up was worship for her work is worship for me work has been worshipped and trusting that it should remain till the last day of my breath.

well that's beautiful ma'am as as our generation calls it this has been one wholesome episode you know it's a very feel-good episode and i have to ask you sort of a i don't know if it's a feel-good question or a deep question to end this particular one but it's something i truly wish to ask you are you happy at this stage in life and what is happiness for you?

today after a long time i'm my self-master of my own time and it's a very fulfilling i spend my own time reading i'm doing exactly what i'm looking for and i've just finished writing the book actually right now now we are discussing the book so it's still not given me that whole time to myself the book re see i've released the book only three weeks ago a few weeks ago so now at the moment it's a follow-up of the book a lot of webinars on the on the grooming of leadership i think it still take time for this to settle but once it does i do not know what comes ahead but but i'm there to see that my every day remains a day of accomplishment where i get a sense of fulfillment i do i owe this to my country i owe this to my service and i owe it to my family
