As soon as the calendar points to March, you begin to see the internet brimming with information about addressing women as their central focus. Though International Women’s Day is a moment to reflect on the progress and the challenges that still lie ahead, it is more than just a celebration it is a call for action to accelerate gender parity.
When we say emotion it not only means happiness, excitement, surprise, and sadness, but there is much more. And handling them in a better way needs a lot of life lessons. I am happy at one moment, sad the next and jump out in excitement. Am I responsible for these emotional changes and the responses that I give out? Or is there an external factor that is responsible for triggering these emotions from inside me?
Not all of us are open about the emotions that we feel inside us. It is always wise to experience the emotion and let it out. Piling it up inside will not only prove bad to yourself but also to others when suddenly it bursts out all at once like a bottle of champagne. Emotions need to be channeled well and for that emotional wellness needs to be taught from an early age.
This is precisely the theme of an Anthology that I’m about to introduce to you, “Brave Inked Emotions” by 31 authors who experienced emotions and handled them with greater strength. Guided by Roma Gupta Sinha who has a lot of accolades to her name including successful book launches this book is a gift to women across the world on this Women’s Day.
Stepping out of our comfort zone might break us but can that be handled smoothly? Yes. This book will guide you through an emotional journey of 31 different experiences that helped them come across the river of emotions that they braved ahead of and would love to share with the world what worked for them and how it can help you.
The chapter that I contributed was specific to handling emotions in kids. As a parent of two, I had different experiences in handling both my kids when it comes to handling their emotions. Parenting them both during their early days made me understand that each finger in the hand is different. That’s when I decided I would handle them differently and teach them emotional wellness from an early age.
I’d urge you to pick a copy, read it, and feel the emotions. This book will want you to share it with your girlfriends. The book will bring a change in each one of us in how we handle emotions. DO give it a read and share your experiences.

Reading about real life situations is a realisation. People associate better with others who have experienced the situation. Truly, a good self-help book for many.
