Sonia Gandhi has been named world’s 6th most powerful woman in 2012 by Forbes...ahead of Michelle Obama. Kudos!! Gone are the days mothers and women waited at home for their husbands to return back from work. Today they have taken power in their own hands and are ruling the stock markets through various initiatives that they have started. If you are one of them, let me give you some motivation.
