Us ladies can 'have it all', just not at the same time! Look forward to reading other articles from you.. -Laxmi Hi Aparna,

Especially things like "pat yourself" really makes one think about the huge efforts taken by a mom for a negligible achievement (as seen by others). Thanks for writing :) -Geeta Hi Aparna,

IMO, its not about working or not, as much as its about exercising the free choice of doing one or the other & keeping your own self fulfilled in all ways.

It's a pleasure to see moms continuing to explore their self growth, take time to think high and prove to the self more than the world, that nothing is impossible especially when motherhood teaches multitasking the best. Your kid will be proud and will inherit more business learnings from you than any business course will teach ever. :) Keep writing, Cheers Madhurie Singh Beautiful thoughts there Aparna!

Looking forward to your next article already ! I really like your idea of social Entrepreneurship. I think once you have started , you need to make 100% sure you should not stop does not matter if you did 5 mins/ 1hr/10 hr work in a day as long you have continuity and focus you will always succeed. About motherhood + entreprenuership take motivations, ideas,planning from women who have been doing it for decades e.g.(Very common)- Women who make packed lunches for people (mess). I know its not IT related but principles can be applied like 2-3 hrs hard work and rest is all planning. Women's intelligence,personality should not be lost due to motherhood. Its a personal loss and most of all its a loss to indian economy. On motherhood front - A mother always gives 100% to her children. I think a working mother puts in more because of her so called GUILT. Its important you get help from people around you , let them know what you are doing and how important its to you. On personal front - i am mother of 2 lovely kids, i currently work part time. Here is the best part - i never take work home , but i always bring my kids to work (in my heart and in my head - always planning for the evening and weekend fun + homeworks!!! + food ). Good luck to you and plus to many more whom you inspire ( including me) . Looking forward to your portal.. take care Sonali Hi Aparna,

India is changing so rapidly these days, that if someone has been out of touch for more than 5 years, it _does_ feel like you've come back to an alien nation. The changes are both good (e.g. getting a "gas connection" in a few days, instead of waiting for years) and bad (e.g. HUGE amounts of traffic in places that used to be barren just a few years ago). So a "reverse culture shock" is quite a reasonable response 2. India is a "hot" economy now. Most of the people moving back to India because out of choice, because it provides a faster and more interesting career track. So your comment about "thrown out of that country" is rather off base. @Mahesh,

Mahesh: I do not see the relevance of your comment to this article. This article as you can see resonates more with Indians than women abroad. IMO, where I've come from is not of significance here. cheers, aparna. capt sangita: thanks. i hope so, too.
