SMRITI IRANI’S MOTIVATIONAL SPEECH – A Hope for Tomorrow’s Future?

Vivacious, strong, witty, independent, fierce, loyal, brave, strong, graceful, agile, powerful, nurturing. Primary hunters of their pride and highly protective of their young. What are these words describing? All these words are used to describe a lioness.

However when I write these words, a lioness is the last thing on my mind. The image very vividly etched in my mind, and whom I am describing using these words, is of a stunning lady wearing a blue saree, the gutsy Smriti Zubin Irani, Human Resources Development Minister.
