 Super(b) women!
Women have made a mark in various spheres of society. This Women’s Day, here’s a tribute to some who have excelled and
set examples for others
It is only in the world of comics and movies that Superman is entrusted with the responsibility of saving the world while women are mere onlookers. In the real world, there are many 'superwomen' who have contributed their bit to the society. Here's catching up with some.
Change essential: Vini Mahajan, Principal Secretary Health, Punjab, Matter of the day: It might be just one day in the year, but it comes as an opportunity to debate and discuss women-centric issues and find solutions.

A social web
From combating eve-teasing to generating awareness about breast cancer, women are using online tools to tackle issues collectively
The connotation of ganging-up might change post the release of Gulaab Gang, this International Women's Day. For it might denote resolute women coming together to deal with issues — complex and simple. As complex as breast cancer and as simple as new mothers finding it difficult to cope with their high pressure job. So they talk, discuss, find solutions and share experiences, all in a bid to empower each other, this time on social media or through mobile apps, where they deal with real problems in the virtual world.

Victory of sorts
People don't mind dropping this inspirational quote whenever we are low and down—'There is always light at the end of the tunnel!' Just when we thought Punjabi films were heading for a dead end, director Jaspreet Rajan managed to run towards the end of the tunnel and managed to light up a light. His film Fateh, even if it doesn't shine like a hundred watt bulb, glows….and as of now this is all that matters.

The year ahead

Influenced by number 8 and the planet Saturn, you will remain ambitious, authoritative, systematic, sober and a commanding personality. You are always interested in a steady romantic relationship and the thought of being alone can result in unhappiness. This year will be satisfactory for professionals. Businessmen will succeed in their endeavours.
