  Winner of the 2021 Senior Women National Bodybuilding Competition Geeta Saini discusses her journey from overweight teen to ripped athlete and the challenges she faced along the way. They see the gold medal I won and know I am a winner in the world of women's bodybuilding, but they have no idea of the hardships I endured to get there. My path to become a bodybuilder began when I decided to start working out to shed some pounds. When I was 23, I weighed about 110 kilogrammes (about 230 pounds). Putting in two to three hours of exercise per day and following a rigorous eating plan allowed me to lose 46 pounds in a single year. However, as time went on, my skin became laxer and less elastic. I started to appear like a 50-year-old when I was only 23. That's when I really started feeling down about myself. My older brother Sachin Saini, who is a bodybuilder, suggested I begin lifting weights in order to improve the appearance of my skin. For this reason, I decided to resume my wo...

Forgotten Fearless Women of Freedom

  "The Festival of the Holy Water of Amrit" ( Amrit Kaal ka Mahotsav ). Introspection into one's past experiences. And contemplation of the future. In this, India's 75th year of independence, let us take a moment to honour the brave women who fought for that freedom. Also, let us not forget the countless others who have given their lives and are giving their lives today to ensure that India remains a constitutional democracy that is both secular and egalitarian. Like the immortal Sahir song, "Woh Subah kabhi to ayegi," the recollection brings renewal and hope, and the festering wounds become a dream. This is because the vision of this idealistic Subah inspired women of all ages across the vast, invisible, and undulating Indian landscape to rise up against the British. Some were killed, others languished in prison for years, still, others were forgotten and left behind by a "free India," while others made it out alive to tell the tale. So, let's...
