There remains the faith when everything else fails, one can still take the mindset to dare to dream and beat the odds to prove the mettle in oneself. In sharing her insights, Mayaa SH gets candid on what makes women exceptionally well calibred on intelligence, grace and courage. Most of her writings have emphasised on breaking stereotypes and echo gender inclusivity. Mayaa has tried to deploy direct storytelling, rooted in culture, deeply resonating and reflecting intimate human dilemmas. Fearless transgression of boundaries and ability to voice the feminine perspective is what she has believed is an essential force in contemporary literature.
Most of Mayaa’s world records and national and international accolades stem from the inner belief that the word Impossible emulates “I am Possible”. This is inspired by the fact that Women should take active part in decision making at every level and specific domains that they are related to. When women are living safe, fulfilled and productive lives, they can reach the full potential of their talents and intelligence in life.
As an Indian female essayist many including Mayaa have made a progress to write extensively on from the conventional depictions of suffering benevolent women to delineation of their inward life and unobtrusive relational relationships. The clashing enthusiasm of man and woman in the general public because of self-affirming women, who are immersed in intense look for their personality, is the lobby characteristic of present day depiction of female characters. Mayaa SH has her own supposition on society and has effectively made an imprint for herself in the scholarly field by her self help books aimed to instill the power of self belief in minds of many readers. Her work has endeavoured to uncover her women’s activist position and the superachiever in her speaks to woman reasonableness and their zeal to succeed in life.
