Happy Women's day - 2011 celebrations @ Office

Hi All ,

This is to keep the promise of writing a post for our Women's day celebration @ Office on March 8,2011.

International Women's Day (IWD), originally called International Working Women’s Day is marked on the 8th of March every year. It is a major day of global celebration of women. In different regions the focus of the celebrations ranges from general celebration of respect, appreciation and love towards women to a celebration for women's economic, political and social achievements

We at IBU MS Plan celebrated International Women’s day on March 8,2011

Time and Venue:  @ 2.30 pm at 7^th floor Conf room (My Home Hub). 

Dress Code:

Saree/Chudidhar in Pink/Blue

It all started with introduction of all IBU MS girls assocaites and sharing thier thoughts on *Why Women's day celebration and how to do*

 It was great to know each other and we all promised to take this connect forward.

We were around 25 girls with variety in age, experience , and much more.

The first session was Debate session. We all feel that Womens are part of all fields today and theyare good leaders but there were few facts brought on table were

• The United States ranks sixtieth in the world in terms of female political representation

• A study of Sunday-morning talk shows found that male guests outnumbered females 9 to 1.

• Women constitute 47 percent of the labor force in the United States yet lead only six Fortune 500 companies.

• One of out every seven military personnel in Iraq are women, but only 50 women in the armed services have reached the rank of admiral or general. 

Thinking???? Yes, we had a debate session on *Why more and more girls are toppers in schools and colleges, but when it comes to Leadership , we get to see very few girls*. Many women shared thier experiences .It was FUN with learning. We discussed on How to balance Personal Vs Professional life.

We divided nto Team Kalpana Chawla, Mother Teresa , Aishwarya Rai, Sushwa Swaraj and played few games. The girls proved with DISCOVER INDIA quiz that they are BEAUTY WITH BRAINS. Here are pics of winners. It was followed by SOME fun GAMES of Dumb Charades , Some Latka Jhatkas.

Soon we had beautiful ladies walking on the ramp and we had BEST SMILE, MOST ELEGANT , BEST DECENT WALK, BEST TRADITIONAL , MOST CONFIDENT PRIZES GIVEN. You can see all smiles in the pictures here. 

Its incomplete without Pizza and Some drinks. Here are few pics.

Thanks all for participating!!!!

Concluding the lesson learnt:

Domination as a leadership style is becoming less and less popular. There is a new growing appreciation of...those traits that women use to keep families together and to organize volunteers to unite and make change in the shared life of communities. These newly admired leadership qualities of shared leadership; nurturance and doing good for others are today not only sought after but also indeed needed to make a difference in the world....A feminine way of leading includes helping the world to understand and be principled about values that really matter.
