“One of the most powerful things you can do is show up authentically, unapologetically, as yourself.” — Masoom Minawala

She'll Never Make It: My Journey from Doubt to Dominance by Masoom Minawala with Aditi Shah Bhimjyani

"She'll Never Make It" is a narrative that chronicles the journey of Masoom Minawala, one of India’s pioneering influencer-creators. Co-authored with Aditi Shah Bhimjyani, this book is a raw, unfiltered account of Masoom's ascent from doubt to dominance in a world that often undermines ambitious women.



The debut book opens with a familiar sentiment to many young women: "She'll never make it." These words, often spoken with derision, serve as a catalyst for Masoom's relentless drive. Facing skepticism, Masoom's story is a testament to determination. From her early struggles to her eventual success, Masoom shares insights into the world of digital entrepreneurship.

Through her own experiences Masoom also puts out a spotlight on the other side of the influencer lifestyle. It is not always all glory like many people think. It's tough work and the trolls and the cancel culture does not make it easy.

The book delves into the realities of being a female entrepreneur in a competitive digital landscape. Masoom's candidness about her failures and setbacks makes the book relatable and inspiring.

What if you could undo every regret? An uncomfortable conversation with The Midnight Library

Have you ever replayed your life at night, wondering how things might have turned out differently? The Midnight Library by Matt Haig asks you to sit with that question. Through Nora Seed’s quiet despair and imagined alternatives, the novel explores regret, possibility, depression, and the fragile hope that living at all might be enough. Have you ever wondered if one different choice could have changed everything? You probably have. Most people do. Usually at night. Usually when the world goes quiet and your mind decides to reopen old files you never asked it to keep. The job you did not take. The person you loved too late or too briefly. The version of yourself that felt possible once. You tell yourself that if you had chosen differently, life would feel fuller, cleaner, less heavy. The Midnight Library begins exactly there, in that familiar ache. Not with drama, but with exhaustion. Not with chaos, but with a woman who feels she has quietly failed at everything that mattered.

Epitome of equality

First of all This is not to demean any religion.. I am a Hindu by birth, but yes I respect all religions .I offer my daily prayers , fast on holy days , but there was something that was disturbing me . God as per me was a Friend, someone who was by my side always , someone who was a dear friend , but this is not what everyone else thought , for others he was the Judge who gives his verdict always and punishes anyone and everyone . Walk into any temple and you would see , if you have money , you will be treated in a way as if you are the ONLY disciple of the God . I have had too many experiences where I was treated as a second class citizen in the temple . Why? Well I could not afford giving thousands as donation. This is not how it should be , God looks at each one of us with the same divinity .As I mentioned God for me is a friend, so tell me, do we chose friends based on their bank balances? Do we give our verdict on them ? then how can God do it? I know many of us would ...

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...
