The Flexiworkers
The Indian Express, Oct 7, 2012
|
|
I've had an insight about success - you can't be successful at everything. You hear a lot of talk about work-life balance - nonsense. You can't have it all. Any vision of success must admit what it is losing out on, where the element of loss is. And very often our idea of what it is to be successful is not our own...Make sure your ideas of success are your own.

The juggling act between baby and career often becomes overwhelming for mothers. Bosses, even those with the best of intentions, may sideline them, colleagues may resent covering for a mother who has to leave early to tend to a sick child, and the woman herself may be racked with guilt over not pulling her weight at work or neglecting the baby. To help women make the leap from prams to PowerPoints, Sairee Chahal co-founded Fleximoms in 2011.
