"I've cried at work. I've told people I've cried at work. And it's been reported in the press that
'Sheryl Sandberg cried on Mark Zuckerberg's shoulder,' which is not exactly what happened. I
talk about my hopes and fears and ask people about theirs. I try to be myselfhonest about my
strengths and weaknessesand I encourage others to do the same. It is all professional and it is
all personal, all at the very same time."
Women are known to be great multitaskers and guess this very multi-
management renders them tired most of the time. This Women's Day, ensure
your partner gets that well-deserved break from her hectic
corporate/personal life. Let her do what she wants on this day, or even better
- do nothing at all! Let her laze around, give orders and do everything she
usually doesn't do.
Women spend their lives tending for others and often put their own
plans on the back burner to accommodate family plans and
professional engagements and on this special day, the least you can do
is plan a small get-together/trip (if there's enough time at hand) for
your lady love. All you need to do is get in touch with her favourite girls
and send them off for a few hours of absolute bliss!
When was the last time you took out time to thank her from the bottom of your
heart for being the woman that she is and most importantly for holding onto the
pieces of what you call 'life'? Well, there can't be a better day that International
Women's Day to actually take her out on a special date and thank her for everything
she's done for you. Also, ensure you take her to her favourite restaurant!
might sound as a cheesy idea to some, but let's not debate the fact that women do love surprise
gifts! So, get your brain to some work and find out what's that one thing your woman has really
wanted for long - well, that's simple, isn't it guys? If your woman isn't too good at accepting
gifts, then simply buy her a flower. We're pretty sure, she'll not be able to say no to your sweet
gesture.
ooking a simple meal with all your love, for the love of your life can be the most romantic and
thoughtful thing a man can do for a woman. Believe us, this trick never fails! And, if you are
actually out of ideas for Women's Day, this could be your winning moment. Just Google the
recipe of a simple meal , wear your chef's hat and make her day.
hah Rukh-Kajol fans, brace yourselves. If you grew up fantasizing about them as the
'perfect couple' ever, then this video is going to make your day. Shah Rukh Khan
walked the ramp at Manish Malhotra and Shabana Azmi's Mijwan 2017, and his
sweet gesture for his special friend Kajol bombarded us with friendship goals. The
actor spotted Kajol sitting in the front row while he was walking the ramp. And then, the moment
of climax arrived. Without any second thoughts, Shah Rukh stopped midway to simply hug her
tight. He even exchanged a few notes with her (that we could not hear!), and only after that,
proceeded forward. There could not have been a sweeter gesture by a true friend, right?

International Women's Day (IWD), originally called International Working Women's Day,
is celebrated on March 8 every year.[3] It commemorates the movement for women's rights.
The earliest Women's Day observance was held on February 28, 1909, in New York and
organized by the Socialist Party of America.[4] On March 8, 1917, in the capital of the Russian
Empire, Petrograd, a demonstration of women textile workers began, covering the whole city.
This was the beginning of the Russian Revolution.[5] Seven days later, the Emperor of Russia
Nicholas II abdicated and the provisional Government granted women the right to vote.[4] March
8 was declared a national holiday in Soviet Russia in 1917. The day was predominantly
celebrated by the socialist movement and communist countries until it was adopted in 1975 by
the United Nations.

The earliest organized Women's Day observance was held on February 28, 1909, in New York. It
was organized by the Socialist Party of America in remembrance of the 1908 strike of the
International Ladies Garment Worker's Union.[4] There was no strike on March 8, despite later
claims.[6]
In August 1910, an International Women's Conference was organized to precede the general
meeting of the Socialist Second International in Copenhagen, Denmark.[7] Inspired in part by the
American socialists, German Socialist Luise Zietz proposed the establishment of an annual
International Woman's Day (singular) and was seconded by fellow socialist and later communist
leader Clara Zetkin, although no date was specified at that conference.[8][9] Delegates (100 women
from 17 countries) agreed with the idea as a strategy to promote equal rights including suffrage
for women.[10] The following year on March 19, 1911 IWD was marked for the first time, by over
a million people in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland.[4] In the Austro-Hungarian
Empire alone, there were 300 demonstrations.[8] In Vienna, women paraded on the Ringstrasse
and carried banners honouring the martyrs of the Paris Commune.[8] Women demanded that they
be given the right to vote and to hold public office. They also protested against employment sex
discrimination.[3] Americans continued to celebrate National Women's Day on the last Sunday in
February.[8]
