End Of The Story

So I do this fun exercise with my daughter over weekend bed-time stories where she gets to choose the ending of the tale. A recent story time session is worth a recall.

Here goes the plotline of the story:

“Two protagonists. Myra and Maya.

Myra was born in a privileged family, the only daughter with two brothers. Princess of the house, given the world’s best education, goodies, designerwear, all that her heart desired. She got an internship in a blue chip company, got engaged to her childhood buddy (who was a business magnate’s son and an Ivy League graduate) and moved countries to be with him while completing her internship remotely.

This is where she met Maya. Maya was in her husband’s office, a new joinee albeit in the marketing department. Maya had a crushing student loan; came from a family of four, a middle class Indian girl with a lot of dreams but very little to subsist on.

Myra admired Maya for her independence and the latter obviously aspired to have the former’s fortune and luck.”

At this point I stopped and asked my daughter which of these girls would she want me to make the winner of the story.
The response was: “Both. Make them start an enterprise together and let them draw on each other’s strengths.”

One doesn’t need to lose for the other to win. But if an enterprise is built together, a woman’s ambition/drive coupled with strategy/financial planning can turn those sand castles in air into a reality.

Here’s to all the Myras and Mayas amidst us. May the unicorn-chasers and their tribe grow!

One more thing: Some of these entrepreneurs can be found in our Her Circle Bizruptors campaign. Join us in this mission, will you?
