When Smriti and her husband welcomed their daughter, it wasn’t her career that took a backseat — it was his. A decorated naval officer, he stepped away from uniformed service so she could continue building hers. The decision, quiet yet bold, was shaped by long conversations, careful planning, and a shared belief that partnership can rewrite the rules. It startled tradition-bound families but stood firm on a foundation of trust — and the kind of financial clarity that makes space for choice.Smriti’s story is one of 15 featured in Money and Her, a book by financial educator and author Lisa Pallavi Barbora, that spotlights the deeply personal, often overlooked relationship women have with money — told through real stories that are part memoir, part reportage, and part financial playbook.Structured in distinct sections — singlehood, marriage, motherhood, entrepreneurship, and financial independence — the book is a reflection of contemporary Indian womanhood, with money as its quiet but consistent companion. Barbora weaves in financial planning tips throughout, but it’s clear that she doesn’t want this to be just another money manual.Barbora’s narratives move beyond basic financial literacy to probe a more fundamental question: what does financial agency mean for women, and how does it shape their sense of identity?The stories are as varied as the women behind them — a corporate executive who never took money from her husband, a widowed Air Force wife who rebuilt her life from scratch, a divorced mother starting over at 41, and an entrepreneur recovering from a COVID-era setback. Yet they share common threads: persistence, tough choices, and the imperative of financial clarity.Money beyond numbersAt the heart of the book lies a quiet argument — money isn’t just about wealth. It’s about identity, agency, and emotional honesty. Earning money, as the author notes in one section, is not only about financial independence but about recognizing who you are and what you’re capable of.The author makes no sweeping declarations. She simply documents: sometimes the woman is the breadwinner, sometimes she starts over at 41 after a divorce, sometimes she lives through unimaginable grief and builds a life of dignity on the back of diligent mutual fund investments.Financial choices, life outcomesBarbora annotates each story she tells with tangible data. Each chapter ends with a “financial report card” summarizing the woman’s financial tools: insurance, mutual funds, debt exposure, asset ownership, nominations. These are not prescriptive, but illustrative. The women in these stories are not always financially savvy from the start. They learn — often the hard way — and adapt.There’s Pooja, who lost her Air Force pilot husband in a crash at 27, and went on to raise her son alone, relying on a modest pension, a government job and methodical investments. There’s Aarti, who unknowingly financed two homes in her husband’s name before discovering, during a divorce, that she legally owned nothing. At 41, she began again — with savings, self-reliance, and a quiet determination to build her own financial security.In the section on entrepreneurship, we meet women who turned personal struggles into business opportunities — one of whom, Gauri, rebuilt her travel venture after COVID-19 brought it to a standstill. Another, a seasoned fund manager named Lakshmi, has been investing since 2001 with a focus on beating inflation. Her approach — “will it, shut it, forget it” — reflects long-term discipline and a preference for compounding over consumption.Not just what women think, but what men learnScattered across the book are short segments titled What Do Men Think? — candid reflections from male spouses, colleagues, and partners. In one such section, Smriti’s husband shares his perspective on stepping back from a promising career. In another, men express how seeing their partners manage money changed their own approach to finances.Barbora suggests that true financial independence is less about separation and more about collaboration. It’s about being able to make decisions from a place of confidence — and having your family benefit from your ability to do so.The real takeaway: Talk about moneyBarbora’s book urges readers to normalize money conversations — within families, with partners, and with oneself. Money, she reminds us, is present in every decision: vacations, groceries, college funds, health emergencies. Yet, in many households, it remains a taboo topic.By grounding financial lessons in real stories, Money and Her becomes more than a finance book — it becomes a mirror. One that reflects the quiet, radical resilience of women who choose to face, rather than fear, their finances.For anyone navigating life transitions, partnerships, or just the question of “what next?” — the stories in this book offer something often missing from personal finance discourse: empathy, nuance, and the courage to begin, wherever you are.(Disclaimer: Recommendations, suggestions, views and opinions given by the experts are their own.

राज्य ब्यूरो, पटना। बिहार में अब बढ़ते क्राइम रेट को लेकर हल्ला मचा हुआ है। नेता प्रतिपक्ष तेजस्वी यादव लगातार प्रदेश के मुख्यमंत्री नीतीश कुमार की सरकार पर हमला बोल रहे हैं। हालांकि, इस मामले में सरकार की ओर से एनडीए के नेताओं के अलावा बिहार पुलिस ने भी पलटवार किया है।

बहरहाल, बढ़ते अपराध को लेकर तेजस्वी यादव ने शुक्रवार को भी हमला बोलने का क्रम जारी रखा। उन्होंने एक्स पर एक पोस्ट के माध्यम से 117 आपराधिक घटनाओं की सूची जारी की।

इस क्राइम बुलेटिन के साथ उन्होंने पोस्ट में लिखा- अपराधियों की सरकार, अपराधियों के लिए। चंद दिनों में सैकड़ों हत्याएं होने के बावजूद मुख्यमंत्री के मुंह से ध्वस्त कानून व्यवस्था पर एक शब्द नहीं निकलता है।

तेजस्वी यादव ने अपनी इस ताजा पोस्ट में एनडीए की सरकार से अपराधियों के गठजोड़ का आरोप लगाते हुए हमला बोला। उन्होंने बिहार में शासन को चौपट राज भी बताया।

बिहार क्राइम बुलेटिन का पुलिस ने लिया संज्ञान

इधर, इससे पहले बिहार में हुई आपराधिक घटनाओं की गिनती गिनाने वाले नेता प्रतिपक्ष तेजस्वी यादव के एक्स पर किए गए पोस्ट का बिहार पुलिस मुख्यालय ने संज्ञान लिया है।

बिहार पुलिस ने आंकड़े जारी कर दावा किया है कि आपराधिक वारदातों के मामले में दोषियों के खिलाफ त्वरित कार्रवाई की जा रही है।

बिहार पुलिस का तेजस्वी को जवाब

इस वर्ष एक जनवरी से सात अप्रैल तक पुलिस पर हमले के मामलों में 947 दोषियों की गिरफ्तारी की गई है। लूट के मामलों में 697 और डकैती के मामलों में 281 दोषियों को गिरफ्तार किया गया है।

राज्य पुलिस मुख्यालय ने नेता प्रतिपक्ष तेजस्वी प्रसाद यादव के पोस्ट में उल्लेखित घटनाओं में से 46 घटनाओं को चिह्नित कर कहा है कि अधिसंख्य घटनाएं जनवरी से अभी तक की हैं।

दोषियों को जेल भेजा: पुलिस

घटना की तिथि एवं थाना का उल्लेख नहीं है, जिसके कारण सिर्फ 46 की ही पहचान की गई है। यह सभी पैसे के लेन-देन, प्रेम-प्रसंग, जमीन विवाद आदि के कारण हुई हैं।

इन 46 कांडों में 112 दोषियों को जेल भेजा गया है। पुलिस मुख्यालय ने इस तरह के पोस्ट पर आपत्ति दर्ज कराते हुए कहा है कि अनावश्यक टीका टिप्पणी से पुलिस के मनोबल पर प्रतिकूल प्रभाव पड़ता है।

पुलिस अपना काम पूरी निष्ठा एवं ईमानदारी से कर रही है। पुलिस मुख्यालय ने कहा है कि 2022 में पूरे देश में प्रति लाख जनसंख्या के आधार पर राष्ट्रीय स्तर पर कुल अपराध की दर 258.1 है।

देश में बिहार का 21वां स्थान

बिहार में भारतीय दंड विधान के अंतर्गत प्रतिवेदित अपराध की दर 168.1 है। इस मामले में बिहार का देश में 21वां स्थान है।

2021 में व्यक्तिगत दुश्मनी, विवाद, अवैध संबंधों और प्रेम प्रसंग की 1952 घटनाएं हुईं हैं, जो कुल घटी 2799 घटनाओं का 69.73 प्रतिशत है।

इसी तरह 2022 में कुल आपराधिक घटनाओं 2930 में 2087 घटनाएं इन्हीं कारणों से हुईं, जो कुल घटना का 71.20 प्रतिशत है।

2023 में कुल आपराधिक घटनाओं 2862 में 2109 घटनाएं इन्हीं अपराधों से संबंधित थी, जो 73.69 प्रतिशत हैं।

प्रमुख राज्यों में क्राइम रेट प्रमुख राज्य अपराध दर आंध्रप्रदेश 368.2 छत्तीसगढ़ 404.2 गुजरात 738.9 हरियाणा 810.4 केरल 1274.8 मध्यप्रदेश 569.3 महाराष्ट्र 443.0 उड़ीसा 386.7 राजस्थान 388.8 तमिलनाडु 617.2 उत्तर प्रदेश 322.0 बिहार 277.1
