A lot of women migrate from villages and rural areas of the country to cities in relation to their jobs or education. Most of these women find it difficult to adapt to the city lifestyle and struggle a lot in the initial phase of migration.

Here are some tips to help them feel comfortable sooner into moving to a new city:

Be prepared before reaching the new city

The best way to feel less alien in a new city is to research about the place well and understand your locality and important places before you reach there. Make a note of every important landmark, modes of transportation, places to eat, stay and more so that you don't feel completely unfamiliar on reaching the place.

Contact friends and relatives in the city (if any)

Make sure you reach out to any friends and relatives you have in the city you are moving to. They will help you with the initial settling process. It is always good to have contacts that you can rely on in a new place.

Treat it as an opportunity

Rather than getting nervous about the new environment, take it as an opportunity to explore and learn new things. New cultures, new lifestyles, new cuisines among others are things you can enjoy in the new city. So, change your mindset in a way that will help you look at things positively.

Go around your new neighbourhood and find the nearest places where you can buy and access necessities from. You can choose to drive, walk around or ride around your place and find out where the nearest grocery, medical store, restaurant, post office, library, etc. are.

Moving to a new city: How to adjust and feel comfortable

Reach out

Don't hesitate to reach out to your neighbours, whether you live in a flat or an independent villa. Talk to people who stay next to your house as they are the ones who can be depended upon for any urgencies in the future.

Discover things that interest you

Cities are usually places where you will easily find numerous things that interest you and are related to your hobbies. Be it a dance class, a cooking class, a reading session, sports clubs or anything like that, find things that keep you connected with people and keep you engaged.

Keep pieces from home

If you are a very homesick person, then you can bring souvenirs from your home or your town that help you stay connected with the place. It could be a photo, a wall hanging, a curtain, a plant pot or anything else. The sight of these will keep you happy.

Stay motivated

At a new place, far away from your hometown, it can get difficult to stay motivated and brave at all times. Try to stay in an environment that is positive and encouraging at all times so that you can gather the courage to face any negative situation that might come.

Minal Bhosle, The Woman Who Created India's First COVID 19 Testing Kit

The fight against the Coronavirus has brought to the forefront healthcare workers and helpers who are risking their lives to help the nation. Many inspirational women are playing a critical role in pushing through the daily hardships and doing the best they can in the fight against the pandemic. One such person is Minal Dakhave Bhosle, Mylab Discovery Solution's research and development chief. If you're interested in the field of science and medicine, her story will inspire you to pursue a career in the field. Minal Bhosale and her team at Mylab created India's first coronavirus test kit. The kit was manufactured in a short time of just six weeks compared to the industry standard of three to four months. Yet the most remarkable thing about the creation of the kit is that it all happened while she was pregnant. On March 18, she submitted her testing kit for evaluation to the National Institute of Virology. The same evening, she also submitted the kit to the Indian FDA and the drugs control authority CDSCO for commercial approval, just an hour before she went to a hospital to deliver her baby! She is quoted saying, "If you carry out 10 tests on the same sample, all 10 results should be the same. And we achieved that. Our kit was perfect." Minal and her team had only begun work on the testing kit in February after she left the hospital with a pregnancy complication. "It was an emergency, so I took this on as a challenge. I have to serve my nation," she said, also mentioning that her team, which consisted of 10 members, worked tirelessly to ensure a quick turnaround. Women like Minal are an excellent example of successful women in India who are driven and do not sit on their past success. During the 2009 outbreak of the Swine Flu disease, Minal was also part of the team working on a vaccine for the disease at NIV, Pune. Her efforts show us that women in science and technology in the country are carrying out some of the most pioneering work. Every kit manufactured by Mylab is capable of testing 100 samples at a cost of only Rupees 1,200. This is almost a quarter of the Rupees 4,500 India was paying to import COVID 19 testing from overseas. Minal and her team also made sure that the test diagnosis was available much quicker. The kit gives a diagnosis in two and a half hours compared to imported testing kits, which take up to seven hours. Women warriors like Minal are the flag bearers for working women who are ambitious and fearless. She is an excellent example of selfless dedication and shows us that it is possible to successfully achieve our goals even when the odds may be against us. Like her, you too can create a path for yourself in the field of science and who knows, maybe someday your name shall be etched in history.
