The world doesn’t fully understand what it means to be a woman; we are not just talking about the tired narratives of patriarchal. Rather, we are talking about what the world doesn’t discuss enough. We are talking about the genuine delight in being a woman, the strength, the resilience, the whimsy, the aesthetics, the charm, the rage, the elegance, the weird, and the sheer charisma of girlhood and girlfriends. This Sunday, March 8, on the occasion of International Women’s Day, we are celebrating womanhood and the main characters. And so is Delhi NCR, from brunches to cocktails with a view, here is our very own curated list of things to do this International Women’s Day.
