Better Life

Writing after so long for a truly inspired post, something which has been so close to my heart. To understand what it is to be a woman.  There are so many things I feel we know exist but we turn a blind eye towards them. Blaming it on - is how things have been going. If not doing something, we should at least stop being a part of it. Patriarchy, dominance, inequality, unequal women to men ratio, it's a long list.  Sometimes I feel some of the traditions laid out in the society are formed just to keep women in their place.  Photo by  Becca Tapert  on  Unsplash Questions: Why are women of color, sexuality & different sizes shamed for presenting themselves as they are ? Why is there a need to fight for equality? Why can't we just accept compliments without adding a flaw to them with the fear of appearing arrogant and not modest?  So many metoo cases, inside the clan too, there is so much jealousy and strife.  Women...

I'm no love-scientist, but this is what I've picked on the way... These three emotions can be confused with each other, they might even overlap each other at some points but are never the same thing:                                                                                   ATTRACTION: It's about that eyebrow-raise, a little longer than necessary stare, that attention grabber thing. i t can vary for different people- looks for some, confidence for others, while thoughts to others.  If it lasts it becomes -  Liking,  which can further hike up to that love standard. It has major parts to do with face value and less of, to do with habits.  If a person likes the habits too, congrats the attraction has elevated to the next level.   ...

Love is in the air was pretty much simmering the week before, yesterday it boiled. No, don’t take me wrong I’m not anti-love or anything, I’m just sharing my experience as a single this valentine’s day. I really hope it strikes a chord or two with other singles out there. Hear me out: I belong to the category of “by choice single” and do absolutely fine by myself, but some days it becomes a bumpy road to travel on. Living in a PG I’m surrounded by other girls who seem to be head over heels. Now, as much as I try to avoid this, I end up being surrounded by- tales, cards, and photographs of the lovebirds. This can really wreck with your mind, peer pressure can be felt in every field. Especially in the love week, it can do the following things to you, at least it did to me: 1.I considered making decisions which I could regret later. 2.I thought myself as a worthless person. (It was temporary). 3.I planned on eloping or staying in the bed all day. 4.I also grew a litt...

 1. Individuality : This year talk about yourself, rather talk to yourself. Don’t underestimate the “ME- Time”. Go out on dates with yourself, look around and just breathe. This little habit will help you love yourself , which is so under-rated and under-practiced. 2. Learn a NEW skill: Save little bucks for yourself with which you can do almost anything- singing classes, swimming lessons, yoga, or marketing. Anything. It obviously adds another star to your CV but, other than that it also makes you feel good about yourself. 3. Set small goals: They say “To have big, huge dreams”, the thing that they forgot to add was that having big dreams can scare you and leave you unmotivated. This can be solved by breaking it down into small aims. For eg. If your dream is to become the next pop sensation and you are not sure whether it can be converted into a full-fledged career then, start slow; upload your videos on youtube, or sing in college fests, etc. This will lead to...
