What happens when an ambitious young woman is matched with an equally ambitious and empowering platform? You get a woman who can fully realize her potential. Garima Gupta is an excellent example of this very combination. Garima is a B.Com student from Mandi Dabwali, Haryana, and her story is one that might be relatable and motivating to a lot of young women from smaller towns of the country.

When you ask what is the biggest problem for women from smaller towns when it comes to figuring out career opportunities and choices, a lot of them would agree with what Garima has to say.

How to Prepare Effectively for the IBPS Bank SO Exam?

IBPS or the Institute of Banking Personnel Selection is an independent organization which conducts online exams to recruit officers, clerks and trainees in public sector banks in India. Public Sector Banks are those that are owned by the government of India such as State Bank of India, Bank of Baroda, Punjab National Bank etc. The IBPS SO (Specialist Officer) exam is one that is conducted on a yearly basis to recruit officers to specific fields like IT, HR, marketing, law, within the Public Sector Banking Sector. Because the fields for which recruitment is conducted are so specific, the exam is conducted in two phases, the first phase or the Preliminary exam is where a common aptitude test is conducted and the second phase or the Main exam is where field specific professional knowledge is tested. To ace these exams it is necessary that you practice as many bank SO mock tests as possible so that you get used to the pattern. The benefit of this bank exam is that it gives you an opportunity to work in a field of your choice. There are multiple posts for which the SO exam is conducted. Some of these are: • Agriculture Field Officer • Marketing Officer (Scale I) • HR/Personnel Officer • IT Officer Scale I • Law Officer • Rajbhasha Adhikari Scale I For each of these positions, you are required to have related qualifications. There will be a professional test held in the SO Main Exam which will have questions pertaining to the field that you have applied for.

An Inspiring Story of India's First Female Bouncer

Mehrunnisha Shaukat Ali dreamt of becoming a police officer -- to keep people safe. Her father did not allow it. But protecting people was Mehrunnisha's calling. Today, she is living her dream -- but just a little differently. 30 year old Mehrunnisha Shaukat Ali works as a bouncer in Delhi. She also holds a Master's degree in Hindi literature. Her regular gymming routine and karate training helped her get a job as a bouncer. Today, she works at one of Delhi's most popular restaurants and nightclubs -- Hauz Khas Social. Her younger sister, 27-year-old Tarannum, also works as a bouncer. Today, together, they earn enough to take care of their family of 8 people. Both sisters are proud of what they do and take all possible efforts to be the best at their job. The sisters do not take their jobs lightly and spend an hour in the gym daily, working during holidays if necessary. "I am very proud of what I do; it's not an easy job," Mehrunnisha once said. "Taking care of people, especially women in a club, is a huge responsibility." While Mehrunnisha may be India's first female bouncer, she wanted to be in the Indian army or become a police officer. But her orthodox father didn't support her dream. In fact, her family was so conservative that they did not want her to study beyond the 5th standard. It was only because of her mother that she was sent to school. With this background, it seemed like there was no chance that Mehrunnisha would ever become a working girl. Becoming a police officer or a bouncer seemed next to impossible. But Mehrunnisha was determined. So Mehrunnisha secretly joined NCC (National Cadet Corps). After successful completion of her course and training, she brought her uniform home. But her angry father burnt it on the stove at home. And that may have been the end of her dreams. But both Mehrunnisha and destiny had other plans.... Mehrunnisha's father suffered losses in the stock market. Mehrunissha decided to help her family and take up a job to support them. She was initially the only breadwinner of the family. She then realised that she could still pursue her dream of 'protecting people' partially, if not entirely. So she got a job as a bouncer at a Social, a famous restaurant cum nightclub in Delhi, to become the ***first female bouncer of India*** . During the ten years as a bouncer, she also did freelance security work for various events such as the IPL matches, reality show auditions, film promotions, corporate launches etc. She also worked for many celebrities, including Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar, Priyanka Chopra, Vidya Balan and Deepika Padukone, during events in Delhi. Today Mehrunnisha is everything that she was told she could not be. She is the breadwinner in her family. The most extensive support of her parents. Looks after her sisters and younger brother. Whenever people come to know that she is a bouncer, there is a look of respect on their faces. Mehrunnisha is an inspiration for any girl who wants to do something different. And do it with pride. As Mehrunnisha once said, "(Today) my mother and father have faith and confidence in me, and I know I am not doing anything wrong." With determination and dedication, Mehrunnisha has written her own success story. [To read more such inspiring and exciting everyday girl, click here](/students-success-stories)!

Letter Writing: Types And Formats

Before the advent of technology, letters used to be the earliest means of communication with family and friends. While it may not seem very important in the modern-day, letter writing is still essential. Be it an invitation to friends and family, or a cover letter, a resignation letter or even a letter of recommendation - knowing how to write them is crucial for communication. Everyone should know how to write a Letter. For the above reasons, writing a letter is one of the most valuable things you can learn. There are various types of letters with their own form and style. However, letter writing is mainly divided into two types - 1. **Informal Letters:**These letters are written to friends and family as an update. These are written conversationally. They are personal and are basically just your thoughts written down. Since the letter will be received by friends or family, there is no problem if you use slang, abbreviations, or familiar terms. However, the letter's content must be penned down well enough to make sense. It shouldn't be all over the place. Additionally, incorrect grammar and spelling are not allowed. <br /> <br /> 1. **Formal Letters:** These letters are written for formal or official occasions/reasons. These are written to colleagues, bosses, potential employers/employees, newspapers, schools, etc. Formal letters aim to convey important information in a clear and precise manner. Unlike informal letters, formal letters use professional and respectful language. Writing a letter is not difficult once you learn the format. In addition, using a readable font, good formatting, and spacing are very important. Read on to know the format and parts of a letter, so you can improve your skills in letter writing: An informal letter has six main parts. These are <br /> <br /> 1. **Sender's address:**The sender's address and contact details of the sender are written here. You can also include an email address. <br /> <br /> 1. **Date:** The date comes below the sender's address and can be written in any format. <br /> <br /> 1. **Greeting or Salutation:**Sir / Respected Sir / Madam/ Dear <br /> <br /> 1. **Body of the Letter:**The content of the letter comes here. Whatever message you want to communicate. <br /> <br /> 1. **Conclusion:** End the letter by stating how you enjoyed writing to them/ how you hope to hear from them soon. <br /> <br /> 1. **Subscription/ Signature:** This is the last part of the letter. It goes like this - Yours truly/ Yours lovingly/Yours sincerely/Kind regards and is followed by your name. A formal letter has all the above parts and also includes the following: <br /> <br /> 1. **Receiver's Address:** The address of the receiver of the letter is written here. This could be the office address/editor's address/school address, etc. <br /> <br /> 1. **Subject:** The subject must convey what the letter is about in one line. Here is the format of a formal letter. For an informal letter, only remove the receiver's address and the subject, and you are good to go.
