INTRO

The emerging woman ... will be strong-minded, strong-hearted, strong-souled, and strong-bodied...strength and beauty must go together." 
 Louisa May Alcott 

With these strong words of Louisa May Alcott, I wish I could capable enough to review this book presented by Prachi Garg. Because It can be a life changing book for aspiring entrepreneurs.  

In the current scenario when everyone running towards catching the moon, there are few souls who challenged the whole sky, sky—full of stars. It may sound little bit poetic, but what a book, Man!

Prachi Garg, an author of this book, explored twenty lives; succeed to change the definition of success. Only one thing which stands these twenty women out of the crowd, they all have strong vision and enough passion to follow their dreams, NO MATTER WHAT. They carve their own niche through ideas which changed millions of lives radically. 

When we watch television or read magazines, we happen to stop while catching a glance of successful woman. Although Newspapers provide information about their venture but their life journey still remains hidden.

Prachi Garg did a tremendous job in that field; she threw light into their inner selves and extracted real success history. What unique trait they carried, how they accomplished their dreams. What obstacles they faced, how much time they devoted, and the thought behind every foundation.

Literally few stories just stirred my soul, if I read about them into some magazine it would have been another business article, but I appreciate the effort of an author, she maintains the balance of information and emotional rollercoaster life of respective entrepreneur.

Author says in the lives of most people, the comforts of the predictable, the stable or the normal take precedence over anything that may sound remotely risky, but there are few daring souls who believe in challenging the norms, in stepping away from conventions and making a routine of the extraordinary way of life.

I would not be fair to share synopsis of every story but I love to share  these inspiring pieces from the book.

Medhavi Gandhi, Founder of Happy hands 

“I increasingly encountered situations which forced me to realize that while the youth potential of india was huge, their awareness and recognition of Indian arts, crafts and heritage was embarrassingly low. This of course included me because our education system was such. Though we train to be doctors, engineers and MBAs Nobody trains to be a traditional artisan designer Yes, artisan, No.”

Ria Sharma, Founder of Make Love No Scars

It had merely begun a college project. I wanted to break conventions and work on something I could relate to, although I had very little knowledge about the survivors of acid attacks. Back then, the journey consumed me with one experience after another, I knew I would never be the same again.

I thought I was going to save them but I eventually realized they were the ones saving me. They were rescuing me from all the material inconsequential and superficial engagements of life. They were helping me embrace my own identity, my own existence with pride.

Richa Singh, Founded Your D.O.S.T

During graduation a friend who had been going through severe anxiety owing to her job placement, committed suicide one random evening, I had never even realized that she had been going through so much stress. All I could think of was that she could have been saved. That was the turning point of Richa’s quest. From being a bystander and the mourner her heart was set on finding the solution and doing whatever she could do to save people from their states of stress anxiety or depression. 

Geetika chadha, Imagenie

When you see how you touched the lives of people, and  the things they will remember you for, you feel like you are on the right track. It’s a win win situation for everybody, isn’t it?

Besides them, You will meet

Masoom minawala – Style fiesta
Rachna nagranee – Pitaraa
Richa kar – Zivame
Sneha raisoni – Tappu ki dukaan
Charnita arora – Perfect life spot
Rashi narang – Heads up for tails
Tina garg – Pink lemonade

And many more… Highly recommended. I literally wish this book should place into school libraries. As books have power to change lives. Big congratulation to Prachi Garg for her superlative effort.
