Quite often working moms find themselves at the heart of the controversy – what makes them tick, how they operate and how they manage life seems to be a subject of complete and utter fascination.

“The pursuit to a coveted state of a perfect balance between professional and personal life is a myth. Whether one has a good supportive family or not, one has to give a 100% to their profession in this competitive market. I remember leaving my little girl alone due to my commitments at work.

That made her more independent at a very young age. She won the debate in School on ‘Quality time spent than quantity time my parents’. One needs to plan and focus on your priorities.

It is all about giving your best to whichever part you’re planning at that given time.”
