Well, as glad as we are for its existence, we ask, why do we need it? The inspiring stories of these women weren&#8217;t lived in a day. These are stories that will probably never be legends, but are stories that teach us to appreciate that no matter how ordinary our lives &#8211; we&#8217;ve lived them and that is all that matters. Here&#8217;s what these women have to say:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Anjana Somvanshi, Yoga Instructor<\/strong> &#8211; When I married my husband, his friends teased him about my career as a Yoga instructor, as it wasn&#8217;t as impressive as his (he&#8217;s a software engineer). However, since then, I received a lot of opportunities to help them out when office\u00a0stress became too much. When my son was 18 months old, I saw him sitting in a <em>Vajra Asana<\/em> and I like to think he heard me talking about it when he was in my womb. Happily, both my kids now know all the <em>asanas<\/em> and <em>pranayams<\/em>. All I can say is that Yoga has been the one constant which has helped me and my family lead a healthy, happy and stress-free life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/de927adv5b23k.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/DSC_6531.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2105\" src=\"https:\/\/de927adv5b23k.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/DSC_6531-719x480.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_6531\" width=\"719\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Ashita Wadhwa, Interior Designer<\/strong>: I was considered the second son in my house and was always more inclined towards physical work. Even in school, I was an average student and loved playing cricket and hockey. But due to a major operation in the 12th standard and the extensive recovery that followed, I was forced to\u00a0drop a year and decided to go ahead with a diploma in Interiors and also picked up the German language. Fortunately, I picked it up really fast and picked it up so well that I was able to teach the other 25 kids in my class. So, by the time I was 19, I was paying for all my expenses and staying by myself without any support from my family. And I haven&#8217;t looked back since then.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/de927adv5b23k.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/DSC_6518.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2106\" src=\"https:\/\/de927adv5b23k.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/DSC_6518-720x480.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_6518\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Vidisha Anand, Dance Instructor<\/strong> &#8211; Dance was always my calling. I started Kathak when I was 8. As I continued learning, I also moved to Jazz and Contemporary. I then joined DanceWorx as an instructor, where I was teaching contemporary, jazz, ballet, and salsa. By the time I was in college, I had started my own dance company- All That Jazz. It wasn&#8217;t easy, juggling college and dance, but I did it. We&#8217;re going to put on\u00a0our fifth production this year, and I love every moment of it. I was an introvert when I was younger, but I think dance let me express myself. It found me or maybe, I found myself through dance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/de927adv5b23k.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/DSC_5842.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2107\" src=\"https:\/\/de927adv5b23k.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/DSC_5842-719x480.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_5842\" width=\"719\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">These are some of the women <a href=\"https:\/\/www.urbanclap.com\/bangalore-interior-designers\" target=\"_blank\">professionals on UrbanClap<\/a>.
