'A Place for Her' should take shape in every locality in every city. What is the purpose? Interesting.

I am a woman and when I am locked up with chains of domestic, professional, and personal work from sunrise to sunset, having no time to sit with myself or with my fellows, discussing about things that interest me, that my heart longs for, that my mind desperately needs; where would I end up one day?

“A young teenage girl who lives in a slum and is responsible for her household, to the ironing lady opposite our office who works from morning till late evening without taking a break to the 78-year-old retired telephone operator and mother passionate about Carnatic music and wants to pursue a PhD in the same”- all have something to share, something useful to contribute. Only if they are given an opportunity to sit, speak and share. Hyderabad Urban Lab mentioned the same on their website and that’s where we get to meet and know about its director Bhashwati Sengupta.
