Amruta Soni didn’t have an easy life. However, she did not lose hope, each time she chose to overcome the challenges and build a respectful life. She started her career with an active involvement with non-profit organizations , today, she is a well-known activist and social worker in Darbhanga district, Bihar. She is often invited to various forums as a speaker and takes lead in implementing HIV response programmers in Darbhanga district. Amruta, like many of us, had a desire for a family and children. She did get married to the love of her life but unfortunately, her happiness was short-lived as she and her husband parted ways after being married for a few years.

Amruta was heartbroken, however, life had the biggest surprise for her just...

HIV and Celebrities We open Instagram and first thing on our feed is celebrities promoting different brand product which lure us to purchase them just because of the charisma of celeb who is now attached with that brand. Shah Rukh Khan himself tauntingly said that his movies run because he’s Shah Rukh Khan. Being Human is a must have for every Salman Khan fan ever – real or fake hardly matters.

Ban on certain websites, ban on meat, ban on films, ban this ban that the list goes on. As a person working in the health sector to empower people living with HIV, I would like to briefly talk about the ban on condom TV ads from airing from 10 pm to 6 am. This invariably means limited exposure and reach for the ads and especially during prime time. The condom ads were considered indecent for the viewing of children.

According to an article written in 2016 in India Spend 10 million women secretly undergo abortion every year in India, 80% of them at home. Another article that appeared on The ...
