‘Just believe in yourself and go for it!’

With three state-level silver medals for acting; a state award for best playwrite, hundreds of floral bouquets and countless rounds of applause this year;
Shweta Pendse, no doubt, is a shining star of Nagpur's cultural scenario. Majhiya Mana, a Marathi play written by her, was a record-breaker in both State festivals (Rajya Natya Spardha, and Kamgar Natya Spardha).
Shweta’s proficient playwriting skills won several awards, not only for her well-studied script, but also for other brightly depicted characters.
Being a student of biotechnology and Chemistry, Shweta attended national science seminar and presented award winning research papers. On the other hand, she kept learning Kathak, and Indian Classical Vocal, and performing on stage, and much more... Besides, she is a calligrapher. She knows Art and Fashion Jewellary Designing and making, and much more... She is a wildlife photographer, a state-level debater, an acclaimed anchor and much more.... She sings, she paints, she writes, she acts and still much more.... An energetic, responsible, self-motivated, result-oriented professional; Shweta not just tried hand, but also acquired recognition in each of these fields.
What inspires her? Clare Boothe Luce’s famous quote: "Because I am a woman, I must make unusual efforts to succeed. If I fail, no one will say, " She doesn't have what it takes", They will say ," Women don't have what it takes."
It IS indeed the current scenario. Single mistake and they generalize it!!!, she says. "Though women have proved themselves in different leading sectors today, the society still concentrates on where a woman goes wrong whenever she steps out to do something, instead of being helpful."
The view is more sarcastic than encouraging or supportive.
May be because of this Women, in spite of having talents in them don't dare to come forward and explore the horizons for them.
I believe, A woman is the full circle. Within her is the power to create, nurture and transform.
“Had I kept thinking on whether ‘I really will be able to write a play and present it....’, I wouldn’t have ever seen this day,” she said.
“Just wanna say to all women- You have it in you dear eve....don’t think. Just believe in yourself and go for it!,” says Shweta!
