KOCHI: Girls. Like Beyonce puts it. As we gear up to celebrate another International Women’s Day, the world continues to grapple with the Covid-19 pandemic. While 2021 has given us new hope with vaccines being developed at record pace, it would be prudent to acknowledge the sacrifices woman frontline workers have made on par with their male counterparts thereby proving once again they are anything but the weaker sex. This year’s theme, ‘Women in leadership: Achieving an equal future in a Covid-19 world’, signals an opportunity to finally end discrimination of women and girls and herald a ‘new normal’ that is truly trailblazing. TNIE’s Anu Kuruvilla, Likhitha P Nair and Steni Simon talk to six women who refused to slow down in the harrowing year gone by.

The 31-year-old content creator who hails from Mavelikkara in Alappuzha is well-known to meme and spoof lovers across Instagram, Facebook and YouTube. “Once when I was in school, I said something funny and all my friends laughed. I remember thinking to myself back then if anyone would laugh at my jokes,” quips Sreekanth.

As he looked up, he saw something hiding in the lush green shrubs eyes shining, its fluorescent green camouflaged against his village’s inky greenery. When he saw the sports car smiling back at him, the boy almost believed he was dreaming. Kerala-bred, Bengaluru-based artist Vimal Chandran’s entire village woke up to this visitor from the future that day – a Lamborghini Huracan Evo Verde Mantis, one of the most acclaimed 5204 cc sports cars from the Italian manufacturer.
