They didn’t drag her to the forest this time — they sent calendar invites.
She was the youngest COO in DevLok Tech, a billion-dollar startup disrupting everything but patriarchy. She built systems, scaled teams, walked through metaphorical fires to prove she belonged. And still, in every boardroom, she was questioned: “Are you sure?” “Can you handle this?”
Draupadi Mehra wasn’t loud. But people listened when she spoke.
She wore sarees like armor and carried her words with care—measured, deliberate, like someone who knew silence too well.
She trusted five boys. Protest partners. Late-night samosa debates. Family, almost.
Long ago, in a world not unlike ours, people lived in constant noise—screens flashing, clocks ticking, always rushing. Among them was a girl named Mira, who felt a strange emptiness despite the chaos around her.
One night, exhausted, she wandered into the forest at the edge of her city. There, beneath a silver moon, she met an old woman glowing faintly, like a firefly. The woman said, “You’ve forgotten the Spark.”
Everyone blamed the office Wi-Fi.
It crashed during client calls, slowed down daily at 4:00 PM, and rerouted important emails to spam. But I knew better.
This sleek corporate building stood on ancient land — once a battlefield where Shakuni, the wily strategist of the Mahabharata, was said to have muttered his final curse: “May no strategy thrive here. May every connection — digital or human — betray.”
Once upon a time, a goddess was told she could either rule the heavens or raise a family — not both. She chose to split herself in two. Half thunder, half lullaby.
Centuries later, she’s back. Only this time, she wears blazers, runs meetings, breastfeeds between Zoom calls, negotiates salaries, and still remembers to text her best friend back.

In an era where science and education play a pivotal role in shaping societies, Dr. Vitthalrao Bhimsha Khyade emerges as a luminous figure—both as a scientist and a literary contributor. His recent book “April Mahinyaateel Vidnyanayaatree: Shaastradnya Jeevan-Charitr Sangrah” is not only a tribute to great scientific minds born in the month of April, but also a cultural effort to bring scientific knowledge closer to Marathi-speaking audiences. By curating life stories of mathematicians and statisticians like Paul Joseph Cohen, Erik Ivar Fredholm, and Leonhard Euler—each born in April and each having left indelible marks on human understanding—Dr. Khyade bridges the gap between global scientific heritage and local language expression. His endeavor highlights the significance of popularizing science through classical languages such as Marathi, ensuring that knowledge reaches every corner of society, not just the English-speaking elite.
