Ashraf aka Sapna, the loving wife of Zaheer - a once confidante of Maqsood, the underworld don, but now arch-rival. Yes starts the starting point of this series. Most important it's really hard to come out of the shell of gangster movies or series by Ram Gopal Varma, Sanjay Gupta and Anurag Kashyap, but this series marked her presence Why we can't accept that Films or web series can be Women-centric, in all genres? Well, talking about "EK Thi Begum ", a complete women-centric web series, which is ruling over the terrorist world. A mind-blowing, fantastic performance by Anuja Sathe. Both seasons show the struggle of Ashraf Bhatkar aka Anuja, to reach Maksood, a Dubai-based international terrorist, who planned to kill her husband, Zaaher Bhatkar aka Ankit Mohan. Well, starting from Season 1, getting to know about Zaaher's business after his death, his relations with political leaders, gangs, drugs and other people related to the gang, she decided to kill everyone including Maksood who was involved in the murder of her husband. By disguising herself, as a bar dancer Sapna, she gets rid of Sawtya aka Santosh Juvekar and parallelly Inspec. Tawde aka Abhijit Chavan, who was the prime suspect involved in the murder of Zaaher Bhatkar, killed Sawtya very cleverly and plans to get rid of Tawde too. Nana Mhatre, Bhau Chavan, fights seem to be very ruthless, making the series more thrilling to watch. The first season shows the process of revenge mind of Ashraf and controlling Zaaher's business of drugs too. Director and Writer Sachin Darekar, have fantastically written, and the dialogues are at their best. Every role has a lot of work to do. Every role includes supporting characters who have given their best to make the series go to par excellence. The actions scenes are well-shooted. Ashraf's pain, while making every deal and murder planning displays love towards her husband and her intentions strongly affected the people, who didn't know that she is Zaheer Bhatkar's wife. She also succeeds to put a fight between two gangs, so that gangs can end each other, and she can be safe from everyone, but somehow it didn't happen quite well. There is a saying, "If a woman decides to do anything for her family she can do anything to protect, and the first season shows it truly. As the first season ends we see Maksood succeed to flee away and Ashraf who played the role of Sapna gets badly injured nearly dead, but her well-wisher Inspec. Vikram aka Chinmay Mandlekar didn't lose hope in saving her and she too got saved from that attack. Chinmay's character is very strong and pure. He wants to live a simple life with Zarheen, and so they get married. The plotting and planning don'tstop here. She gets more serious about reaching Maksood and killing him. As Leela, she enters the Maksood's world and gets back up by Ashwin Surve, who is now the leading Gunda in the city and has the support of state's Cheif minister Yashwantrao Patil played by Sandeep Mehta. Apart from Surve, Shakeel Ansari enters the game and thinks to control all the things to make Maksood happy. The Himachal Pradesh scenes are the sparkling beauty of the acting of Anuja Sathe. This season contains many crime drama elements such as the clash of egos, backstabbing, double-crossing, political meddling in police affairs and the nexus between the underworld and politics. Getting out of by one by one, she finally faces Maksood. Roles played by Lokesh Gupte aka ACP Qureshi make things difficult for Inspe. proceeding as he thinks Inspc. Vikram supports his wife. The political pressure, the politics in every incident taking place related to Ashraf make her stuck to not proceed, but she does not lose hope and continues to take revenge in every possible way. She finally tries to kill Maksood, but instead, she gets killed. The screenplay keeps us engaged in the series. This is one of the unique gangster entertainers that had a female protagonist. At the verse of season 2 . It was apparent that the director duo of Sachin Darekar and Vishal Vimal Modhave had done their homework and it showed right till the climax Overall, a crime-suspense thriller MX-player makes a strong rule overall series.

Prof.Dr. Pratik Mungekar participated as a Keynote Speaker in an International Debate between Men & Women & delivered his talk on the Gender gap, Parity, Equity & Equality organized by Successworld1academy He expressed his heartfelt gratitude to queen Nadia Harihar from France for the Invitation. It was an amazing experience for all those who participated. Here is the transcript of his speech. We have achieved much in recent history on the path to gender equality, but we have a long way to go to ensure equal endowments, participation, and voice for women. The stakes are even higher now that the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) is ravaging the world, as times of great crisis often put women on the front lines. Women predominate in key roles as nurses, social workers, and caregivers. They are also working as doctors and volunteers, and as political and community leaders making critical decisions about how to address the public health, social, and economic effects of the crisis. Women’s participation will be vital to our success against this shared global threat. Let us first acknowledge the progress made so far… Today, we tend to take it for granted that women can vote. But - with the exception of a few frontrunners like New Zealand, Australia, and Finland - universal suffrage became a reality only after World War I. Eventually, voting rights for women were introduced into international law in 1948 by the United Nations Commission on Human Rights. Women have also taken advantage of increased opportunities to serve as leaders. In 2019, women held nearly 1 in 4 legislative seats worldwide - more than double their share in 1995. Management positions are also more likely to be held by women now than twenty years ago, though parity is still a long way off. With greater representation comes improved outcomes. Looking at education, the world has seen enormous progress in reducing gaps between girls and boys across a variety of important areas such as enrollment rates and literacy outcomes. In health, fewer mothers are dying in childbirth and significant increases in female life expectancy have followed. With few exceptions, women now outlive men in virtually every country. In terms of labor participation, more women in countries at every level of income have been engaging in economic activities beyond non-market work in the home. Around the world, many national reforms have been enacted in recent years to improve the status of women in the workplace, in marriage, and especially to protect women from violence. Yet, there is still a long way to go… Despite this meaningful progress, important gender gaps remain. These vary in scale from country to country and take different forms - from physical violence and deprivations to unequal opportunities in work or political life. The World Health Organization estimates that over 1 in 3 women worldwide will experience violence in their lifetime. Sadly, the risk of being subjected to violence increases in times of distress, such as the outbreak of COVID-19. The UN Special Rapporteur on violence against women, Dubravka Simonovic, warned that it was “very likely that rates of widespread domestic violence will increase, as already suggested by initial police and hotline reports.” Gender disparities also take shape in unequal opportunities to participate fully in economic life. UN Women found that women are less likely than men to participate in the labor market and more likely to be unemployed. Women are paid less, earning 77 cents to every dollar earned by a man, and bear disproportionate responsibility for unpaid care and domestic work (performing 76 percent of total hours of unpaid care work worldwide). In fact, if women’s unpaid work were assigned a monetary value, one study of six countries has suggested that it would constitute between 10 and 39 percent of GDP. These opportunity gaps suggest that women could be disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Women make up a larger share of health and social care workers around the world: 70 percent in 104 countries. Also, early analysis from the World Bank indicates that those in caregiving roles may face an increased burden in the wake of school closures, with working mothers finding themselves even more stretched than usual in trying to juggle home-based work, home-schooling, childcare, and housework. Inequality of access is also a key concern. Globally, nearly 40 percent of women in wage employment are estimated to lack access to social protection. Women are less likely than men to have access to financial institutions or to have a bank account. Although women-owned enterprises represent more than 30 percent of registered businesses worldwide, only 10 percent of women entrepreneurs have the capital they need to grow their businesses. These gender gaps impose real costs on society… As the World Bank Group’s Women, Business, and the Law 2020 points out, “equality of opportunity is good economics.” Indeed, it is estimated that women’s lagging participation in employment and entrepreneurship cost the world about 15 percent of its GDP. In considering a “full potential” scenario in which women participated in the economy identically to men, McKinsey concluded that this would add $28 trillion (26 percent) to annual global GDP by 2025 as compared to business as usual. Yet when girls are allowed to dream and realize their potential, we are all better off… To quote the famous early 20th century Armenian novelist and activist, Zabel Yesayan, “a woman is not born into this world to be pleasing. A woman is born to develop her mental, moral and physical abilities.” Over the course of history, many women have embarked on a path of self-realization to the benefit of our society. Some are famous, some less so, but each contributed to advancing the world, whether by promoting human rights and peace, forging ahead in science, or serving on the front lines to save human lives and protect public health. Despite the added burdens, crises present an opportunity to improve gender equality… Unfortunately, we are likely to see some setbacks in gender equality during the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath. The European Institute of Gender Equality has stated that the closure or near-closure of businesses could have a severe effect on women-dominated professions (such as flight attendants, hairdressers, and tour operators), and unpaid care work will continue to increase. In highlighting the gendered impact of COVID-19, the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights has stated that, “Targeted measures to address the disproportionate impact of the crisis on women and girls are needed.” The COVID-19 crisis has put unprecedented pressure on governments, development organizations, and communities. While we strive urgently to respond, we should not lose sight of our goal to achieve gender equality. Instead, we should make it part of our overall effort to tackle these unprecedented challenges and come out stronger afterward. We appreciate the recognition by the G7 and W7 that, notwithstanding the progress made by women in the world, we do not have a single country that has achieved gender equality. So we have a lot of work, and the work is universal: whether we are East, West, North, South, rich or poor, these issues bind all of us as humanity. If we think, for instance, of the move from the Millennium Development Goals to the Sustainable Development Goals, one recognition in the Sustainable Development Goals is the universality of the agenda of issues that impact humanity. In the Sustainable Development Goals, we emphasize the importance of climate change. If you mess up your forest in one part of the world, it will mess up people in another part of the world. The issue of peace is also universal. If we do not have peace in one part of the world, no one has peace anywhere in the world. The issue of inequality is universal, between and within countries. The current extent of inequality means that people move around the world looking for means of survival and all of us will have to deal with the issue of inequality. Gender inequality is a universal issue. Women everywhere in the world want equal pay. Women everywhere in the world want to control and decide what to do with their own bodies. And without women in the workplace, everywhere in the world, all of our economies do not grow to the extent that they need to grow. Economic justice facilitates economic growth, and inclusive growth requires more women to be in the workplace. So, there are many common issues that women need to discuss, and that makes the issue of gender equality one of the most globalized issues of our time. Once, the world together fought to end slavery. It was a universal issue. It did not have to be a slave’s fight to end slavery. The world, and the people of good will in the world, united to end it. The world fought racism, colonialism and apartheid together and brought them to an end. It was not just the affected people who fought. The world has to fight gender inequality together. It is not just women who must fight; men and women must fight together for us to achieve the kind of change that we desire. The nice thing is that victory is for all. McKinsey’s research tells us that if women’s economic participation were to be at the same level as men's, by 2025 there is a cool $28 trillion could be added to the world’s economic growth. It requires all of us to want to do something about that to achieve change for all of us. We have just come out of two very meaningful engagements as UN Women. The first is the UN Secretary-General’s High-Level Panel on Women’s Economic Empowerment, which looked at barriers to women’s economic empowerment and participation, starting from the barriers that are experienced by girls, such as in education, child marriage, and the different violations that girls experience that stop them from realizing their potential. We have also just finished the 61st session of the Commission on the Status of Women, where we looked at women in the changing world of work. These two dialogues reached the same conclusions: the importance of macroeconomic policies that recognize the role and the participation of women, starting with issues like gender-responsive budgeting. Those macroeconomic policies recognize that all countries have babies, babies need childcare, and childcare needs to be accessible and affordable, otherwise millions and millions of women cannot participate effectively politically and economically. The fact that in most countries looking after children is a private matter for women is a barrier to their full economic participation. Men have to work so hard to become corporate animals and do not have time to be fathers. That stops them from being able to contribute to the care services of the family and in the process, stops women from being able to participate in the labour market. So, this is a change that must happen: more men in the care economy, and more women in the labour market. We also found, in the work that we did both in the High-Level Panel and in the Commission on the Status of Women, the importance of women controlling their own bodies; having autonomy without discrimination; having access and respect for their rights, both sexual and reproductive rights, and having access to services. The unmet needs of women, in the area for instance of family planning, are such that many women are having children that they do not want, that they cannot afford, only because we are unable to give them the much-needed lifesaving services that organizations such as UNFPA provide. We also uncovered in the discussion and the work something that we all know; the importance of equal pay and of the fact that men and women alike want to be paid wages that are equal to the contribution that we make. That is not too much to ask for any worker. Up to now, that right does not exist for women in most parts of the world; this is a great robbery. We are therefore calling for governments, private sector, and ourselves to mobilize appropriately to change this. Of course, most women are at the base of the income pyramid, which means that they are underpaid and they are also in work for which there is no minimum wage. Those women caught on what we call the “sticky floors”, cannot rise up, and will always live closer to poverty than prosperity. So, laws and facilitation of minimum wages are critical to moving women past the sticky floors, just as women on boards and women executives play a critical role in making sure that the glass ceiling—and the steel ceiling, for that matter—are removed. These are some of the examples that are universal, that we can all work on in every part of the world. I want to salute all the men who are in the room. The role of men and boys is critical. To the extent that there is historic affirmative action everywhere in the world—which is why they are where they are—we need men to turn the terms around and make sure that there is affirmative action for women and we can have equality for all. Thank you.

I am not saying that stop being the best but what I mean is stop expecting to be the best from the get-go. I always believed that perfectionism is a good thing. Perfectionism basically means whatever you do has to be perfect and what could possibly be wrong with this? Perhaps, perfectionism sometimes subconsciously holds me back, preventing me to try new things or leaving things that I had just started. My battle with perfectionism and the lessons that I have hugely learned from most successful people. Listening to an interview by Elon Musk, I couldn't help wondering how can a perfectionist like him, can set himself the most ridiculous goals like sending a rocket to space to achieve it. While, I strive to perform simple tasks like writing an article or making a video and feel cripplingly inadequate or underqualified to an extent that I procrastinate or worse, stop trying altogether. So what differentiates these perfectionists who manage to do everything from me? Digging a little further, I realized maybe they aren't really a perfectionist they are when they first appear, perhaps the reality is that they are the impatient brains who are blind to their iterations, failings, or rejections, their hardships and imperfections have been deleted, and turned into a much simpler and easier story of overnight success. From Zuckerberg to Musk, we all can definitely learn from their tireless pushing, not for perfection, but to get better, to get closer.

In the last league of Women'snail-biting World Cup, Women in Blue were defeated by the Protea team in a nail-biting thriller. With the defeat, the hopes of the Semi-finals ended, ending India's run in this tournament. A billion hopes were shattered. But what was more disheartening to see was that the two greatest contributors of women's cricket, Mithali Raj and Jhulan Goswami still without a world cup title to their name despite their immense contribution. One felt sad for Jhulan, who couldn't even play her probable last world cup match. It's a hard truth one has to accept and move on. There were instances where the team could've done better. When Shafali and Smriti powered India to a flying start, one hoped that India would go beyond 300, but that didn't happen as Protea bowlers did a great job in death overs. Furthermore, India could've done little better in the department of fielding. Poor fielding, allowing the opposition to give away 2 instead of 1, dropping catches is something that could've been avoided. Only a fool would ignore all these and blame Deepthi for the unfortunate no ball in the last over. But what mattered the most is India fought till the end. The same had happened against our team's encounter with the mighty Aussies too. The Australian encounter was also ber well fought, eventually losing it in the last over. Similarly, the ultimate match of the league stage was one where the fighting spirit didn't drop by one bit by both the teams. As a supporter of one team, it's painful to see their team lose and exit from the tournament, but as a cricket lover, the fighting spirit and the nail-biting thriller one loves to witness. Furthermore, the ultimate dream to promote women's cricket went an inch closer in this tournament with India's run. With only a handful of women stars like Mithali Jhulan, Smriti, Harman and a few being popular previously, the likes of Pooja Vastrakar, Sneh Rana, Yastika Bhatia, Richa Ghosh, Meghna Singh becoming a household name are a very big positive for the women's game. The contribution of these stars for every match was a major factor for India's run, and they will be responsible for inspiring many women to take this sport. Also, this world cup might not be to India's name, but a lot of records were created by the team. Mithali became the player to captain the most number of world cup matches. Chakdah Express Jhulan became the highest wicket-taker in world cups, and also scalped her 250th overall wicket. Smriti18-year-old39-year-old crossed her mark of 5000 runs. Another beautiful thing to witness was the 18-year-old Shafali Verma and 39 year old Mithali Raj scoring half-centuries in the same world cup match. All these amazing stats might not bring the title, but will go on to inspire people to watch the game, and girls to take up the sport. And in this ultimate dream of bringing glory to women's cricket, this world cup did play a role. The rising popularity of these players is the reason why BCCI is eventually thinking of making the dream of WIPL a reality. This will help to promote the game on a larger scale. A world cup victory will do that even further, but with rising talent in the Indian women's team, this is a dream which will be accomplished in the years to come. Speaking of this tournament, the teams could've done better but can hold their heads high and focus on the upcoming events to follow. And speaking about legends Jhulan and Mithali, the duo will be the most respected duo of Women cricketers across the globe always.

During this conversation, Dr Pratik Rajan Mungekar has put forth his thoughts on Ghosts Are People Without Bodies. Let's read his thoughts The notion of ghosts has been long debated, whether it’s the existence of Casper, Anne Boleyn’s lost spirit lurking, or your neighbour’s grandma visiting from the afterlife. Ghosts are remnants of the bodies of people that have died and are commonly discussed in folklore. Apparitions can range from a simple strange presence to the aura of a living being. Roughly half of all Americans believe in ghosts or life after death according to a website called Ghosts and Gravestones. Many within the population of believers have shared perceived experiences of the phenomenon, or share a strong belief in life after death. In addition, many believers are also religious: numerous religions discuss life after death in one form or another. Hinduism and Buddhism believe in reincarnation, and Christianity, Islam, and Judaism believe that the soul is eternal and will continue to exist after death. People believe in this idea because no one knows what happens after death and wants to believe that there is some form of life and that maybe humans can visit their loved ones after passing on. According to the previously mentioned website, Ghosts and Gravestones, “We seek explanations for what’s happening around us. It’s just the way the human brain is wired; we need to know why things occur or what’s causing something. And when it comes to inexplicable, mysterious happenings, the only logical explanation is often the presence of something supernatural.” Information regarding ghosts can be found all over the Internet and on television. Websites are substantiating this belief, but most are reiterating that the idea is false. The notion of ghosts has been around for thousands of years. One of the only websites I found on the origination of ghosts is Wikipedia, which says that stories of ghosts originated in early Mesopotamia and ancient Greece. Furthermore, ghosts were written into Homer’s the Odyssey and Iliad. In the Bible, Jesus was at first believed to be a ghost before convincing his followers that he rose from the dead. Furthermore, ghost stories circulated during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, throughout history until today. More people believe in ghosts in the modern-day than they did in the past, with more and more people believing each year, along with the amount of evidence against ghosts increasing over time. Ghosts are considered extraordinary because the idea of them is unable to be authenticated by science. There is no replicable experiment known that can validate a ghost’s presence; people coming back after death as spirits defies all scientific laws of nature. Besides hope, the belief of ghosts continues to live on through oral stories that are passed on from person to person. Those in favour of the existence of ghosts are mostly believers because they cannot attribute their experiences to normal circumstances. The belief is solely built on personal experience with the help of religious beliefs (life after death, reincarnation, etc.) to explain what happens in the afterlife. According to HowStuffWorks, “the evidence for ghosts is all around us, but only living beings with a certain sensitivity can feel their presence.” In addition, the website states that technology is not yet advanced enough to create a physical proof. According to some quantum physicists, “we still do not fully understand the interaction of the human mind and external matter at the quantum level” (HowStuffWorks). Moreover, ghosts may not be dead humans but merely humans from other points in time. On the other hand, those against the premise of ghosts are more backed by science than those in favour. Benjamin Radford, Live Science Contributor, claims that the stories of ghosts switch between being able to walk through walls but still being able to move them and that these contradicting ideas go against the laws of physics. Furthermore, he claims that if these spirits were truly lost and had unfinished business, then mediums would be able to help them in a multitude of ways (solve their murders, identify killers). Those who claim to have evidence like ghost hunters use pseudoscience to demonstrate their claims: electromagnetic field meters, cameras, thermometers, and other equipment are used to detect any energy changes. The change in energy is automatically assumed to be the presence of a supernatural being. Jumping to the conclusion that any change in the atmosphere is due to paranormal causes is logically incorrect; people misinterpret the results due to confirmation bias, only looking for evidence that strengthens their beliefs in ghosts. All in all, the notion of ghosts has originated and survived over a long period. A large percentage of the world’s population believes in ghosts in one form or another, whether it’s life after death or the eternal existence of human energy. Many of these believers claim to have personal experiences with ghosts, while others only believe because of their religion or hope. There is conflicting evidence to whether ghosts exist, as the premises backing them is controversial and up for debate. Perhaps advances in technology over time will give us a final answer or ghosts will make contact with the public themselves.

If one speaks about the most successful captains of India, the first name which comes to mind is MS Dhoni. The man helped India win 3 ICC titles. One has to be either crazy, or MS Dhoni to captain their first international tournament like the world cup and still led the team to the title. One of the rarest people to lead the first tournament with a title win and the last tournament with a title win, MS Dhoni decided to step down as CSK captain, leaving the fans in despair. Although he had last captained an international match back in 2016, he was still the captain of people's hearts and seeing him lead the Chennai Super Kings team gave the fans enough happiness for the rest of the year. Irrespective of whichever team one supported, their second favourite team was always CSK, and the reason was Thala. He is the only captain to lead the same team for 14 seasons of the IPL. For fans CSK means Dhoni, the two are synonyms. Likewise Team India from 2007 to 2016 and Mahendra Singh Dhoni are the same. He took Indian cricket to a different level altogether. His strong shoulders carried the weight of billion expectations for a long period. And the calm head over his strong shoulders made a billion expectations transform into billion smiles. The title win of the inaugural T20 world cup, the 2011 world cup victory, the 2013 Champions Trophy title is all a result of that calm head. His captaincy was more than just about his calm personality. It was about the perfect field placements, the perfect rotation of bowlers, giving the right set of instructions to the bowlers, taking anyone perfect reviews, and back your players till the time they prove themselves. His captaincy was about playing fair, and the following spirit of the game. And he did that. His decisions were trusted and appreciated by other teams as well. He set the bar of his captaincy so high, that reaching that level is a Herculean task for any one. This is why, even when Virat's India dominated the world cricket, became the number one team in the world, it was not appreciated by few as it was still compared to Dhoni's Indian team. Well, what can one really do if the previous captain has won his team all the major ICC event titles in senior cricket in just 6 years? Apart from just the Indian captain, he has done wonders with his team CSK. The only captain of the team since the inaugural edition of IPL, he has led the team to 4 titles, and his team has reached the finals on 9 occasions. A staggering win percentage of over 60% is an outcome of having the complete leader who can deal with pressure, and bring the best out of his players. An entire generation has watched him leading the CSK from 2008 to 2021, and hence when in the upcoming IPL one will not see Dhoni coming for the toss in the match, one will feel dejected. What makes it sadder for the fans is the fact that all of them were eagerly waiting for him to lead the team in his way in the next week, and the sudden decision has shattered their hopes. The unpredictable MS did the same thing, what he did during his Test retirement, left quietly as the skipper. One would see Dhoni in action picking those quick stumpings, and hitting long sixes, but the feeling of Dhoni leading the side is a sight that everyone will miss dearly. The 15 years of Dhoni as a leader will always be in the hearts of the fans. The one and half decade experienced some amazing captaincy from the living legend. The contribution from Mahi as a captain to Indian cricket and CSK is huge, and will always hold a special place in fans' memory. His journey from a Ranchi boy, to one of the greatest captains of world cricket, will inspire millions of youngsters worldwide. And he will always be remembered as a true leader who led from the front. His decision of stepping down as a captain despite leading the side to win the title will help cricketers learn the values of selflessness. With all the heart and soul, we thank him for his contribution to cricket as a leader and look forward to him in the IPL as our favourite finisher.

MADAME, India’s leading western wear brand by the Jain Amar Group, has unveiled its Summer/Spring collection for the year 2022. This new collection is targeted towards India’s youth who are seeking to stay up to date with the latest fashion trends. The latest collection is fresh and original in the way it uses colours, fabric, and design. The collection is targeted towards confident and progressive women of today who like to carry themselves in style. “Fashion is a way of expressing yourself and discovering your uniqueness. The new collection will appeal to young generation from all walks of life across the country,” said Akhil Jain, Executive Director of the Jain Amar Group. The Summer/Spring’22 collection for the month of March will showcase products in capsules like Daisy Mist, Pink Caravan, Lazy Aesthetic, and Check It Out! All these categories are designed specifically to appeal to a certain style quotient and requirement of the customers. For example, Pink Caravan will have a trans-seasonal tone that will be inspired by the tropical orchid plant, with its long-lasting flowers and distinct aroma to generate a sense of positivity and attract consumer attention, and will be inspired by the change of season, brighter nature. On the other hand, Daisy Mist is a collection of monochrome co-ords, blazer sets, and playsuits in various designs and patterns. The daisy print's present popularity stems from what we identify with it, rather than the flower itself. Daisy is a flower that everyone associates with summer, pleasant feelings, and the carefree lifestyle that comes with warm summer winds. “Spring-Summer 2022 will usher in a flurry of excitement and delight. Fashion serves as a soothing retreat from everyday life and an antidote to moving forward now more than ever, as evidenced by the collection,” adds Akhil Jain.
