The character of Asifa from Banu Mushtaq’s award-winning book ‘Heart Lamp’ is a stunning if tragic portrayal of how continuous labour is the norm and rest is a privilege denied to most women, writes Dr Sapphire Mahmood Ahmed. Singapore-based software engineer and mom to a little boy, Sainy Banerjee shares how classical dance helps her navigate emotional complexity, burnout and self-expression in an impossibly busy life. Casually stated and disguised as concern, body shaming erodes one's self-worth and casts a long shadow on the trajectory of a woman's life and personal growth, writes author @arunajoshiofficial. Sujatha Balakrishnan, founder of the nonprofit Theatre for Change, shares her experience of overcoming gender barriers, blazing new trails in her 50s, and building a family based on love and commitment, not rigid social confines. In the wake of a tragic suicide by three young sisters in Ghaziabad, media have been quick to blame Korean content for the girls' mental-health issues. But this framing is irresponsible and ignores the real problem, writes Shweta Bhandral. The 10th edition of the Vedaaranya Heritage and Healing Festival 2026 held recently in Ramgarh Shekhawati, Rajasthan, was all about women power, particularly in the sphere of India’s heritage. We're excited to announce the launch of eShe Book Club! This is where we get together in a stimulating online space to discuss and spotlight books by South Asian women writers. Rules here: eshe.in/book-club In a world eager to consume spirituality without context, a new book 'The Serpent’s Tale: Kundalini, Yoga, and the History of an Experience' (@ColumbiaUniversityPress, ₹699) by Sravana Borkataky-Varma and Anya Foxen serves as a necessary reckoning. ⁠ Shobhita Thakur is a filmmaker and writer based in India. An alumna of the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), Pune, @lilyshobhita's professional journey spans cinema, advertising, and long-form storytelling.
