While we all should be celebrating woman and womanhood every day, we all do it wholeheartedly on 8th March—the date which is marked as the International Women’s Day in all calendars. Maybe, it is just our way of reminding ourselves again and again that every home, every heart, every feeling, every moment of happiness is incomplete without her presence. Saying that every field is incomplete without ‘her’ won’t be an exaggeration.So, as the Women’s Day nears, we decided to celebrate this special occasion with
1. Anisha Padukone, Golfer
The 24-year-old golfer, and younger sister of Bollywood actress
2. Jyoti Ann Burrett, Footballer

5.Dhanu Saini, Dentist & Sportswoman
A student of Mahatma Gandhi Dental College and Hospital, Jaipur, Dhanu is a gymnast and a volley ball player. While she is someone who corrects people’s smiles, her own face lightens up only when she indulges into her favourite sports. She says, “I’ve been a gymnast and volley ball player since I was a child. Being a female athlete all through my life has always had its share of struggles and challenges, but sport taught me to deal with them, on and off the field. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Sport has given me the strength to face it all. That’s how I #bleedblue.”
