Have you ever been so busy in work purposely because you don't want to spend time with yourself alone? Deep down you know that being alone will bring back all that you are running from. But why are you running? Why you are so afraid of facing your own self? Well these questions are now forcing you to talk to yourself. Go for it. Listen to what your mind and heart is screaming to you.  You might have a hundred people to share your feelings with but if you won't listen to yourself first, none of them will be able to help. I am not a psychologist but all I have known from my own experiences is that you are your own best friend and the biggest enemy at the same time. So, it's your choice what you want yourself to turn for yourself. Kinda confusing, right? But there are a zillion things going on in your mind that you need to organise for yourself. No one will do that for you. 

Well this has always been a topic of debate that whether men are superior or women. In order to simply win the argument we often forget that we are humans first. Gender might make us all different but we still are humans and several other points of differentiation don't really matter much. Earlier I wrote a blog in which I wrote about my views on feminism and how equality is important for women. But somewhere fighting for equality for women, we often forget that men are humans too. They also have their own struggles. Just imagine that you are overwhelmed with feelings and emotions but you are not supposed to cry because you are a men. Anyone can cry. It is important to let things out. Also, men are always expected to earn more than their better half, why so? What if he is more into house chores or their can be other reasons that they can never share. Every person have his/her struggle and as much as it is important to stay strong, it is also important to be gentle of on...

Hey! Hope you are fine and not crying because your life is a mess. It is gonna be fine. I know exactly what you are going through and this is going to get worse. But when you will be at your worst, you are gonna rise up from the darkness like a phoenix rises from ash.  You are feeling like your emotions are overpowering you and this is just hormones and situation you are currently in. It's okay to feel things. It's okay to cry over stupid stuffs. What is not okay is let these things consume you. Speak out, stay silent, do whatever makes you feel better today. It's okay to be selfish. What's not okay is self harm and self destruction. So let me begin by addressing things you want to talk least about- your Insecurities. You are insecure about how you look, how you talk, are you even good enough? Will you ever be able to make your parents proud? I have answer to all of these. Looks doesn't matter. Trust me, looks are the first thing that are noticed but the...

So here is to the people who has always got my back. From a small tiny toony compliment to all the big fuss in my life. If you are one of them you already know. When I started writing I never thought that this will one day become my hobby. It all started with a childish poem wrote by a 12 year old to her sister. But I got all the compliments in the world that kept me going. Slowly and steadily I continued writing my thoughts and feelings out which helped me cope with my low phases.  I am a person who is jack of all traits but master of none. So, there is nothing that I can brag about but a lot I can talk about. The first hobby that i took up as a child was dancing. My mamma tried to enroll me for dance classes, proof that she supported me. But I retaliated because classical dance was not my thing. I showed little interest here and there. Then years passed by and hobby never turned into passion.  Then I took up another hobby of singing, not as a performer but alone ...

TTRRIIGGEERRR!!! sounds weird and kinda scary. But I m not talking about a gun but humans in general. I have not studied psychology but one thing that I have observed and learned over a period of time is that you can't judge a person on the basis of what triggers him/her. For some people a normal thing can be a sensitive topic and if that thing doesn't bother you doesn't mean that it won't bother someone else. It is important to respect sentiments of others. It is important to mutually understand things and clear disparities. 

What is women empowerment? Women empowerment refers to the steps taken by individuals, groups or society in general in order to empower women so that they get equal opportunities and are treated like an equal. Women empowerment should not be misinterpreted as a means to disrespect or degrade the position of men in society. It simply means that women should be treated as equal without being discriminated against on the basis of gender.  When we talk about women empowerment, people think that women are weak and they need help to be uplifted. But actually, women are already strong enough. All that we want is to be treated respectfully the way we deserve. Women never ask for respect just because of their gender, women should be respected for the things that they do in the society. Women have played an important role in the upliftment of society. If you are a man and reading this, can you even imagine living a day without women in your life? I won't argue that women are more...

Yeah!! everyone says life is a journey and death is the ultimate destination. But what matters the most is during this journey where you decide to halt, which places you decide to just walk past, what you consider as a milestone. In the journey of life these places are not real places, they are people and experiences.  When we meet someone whos company we enjoy, we decide to hold on to those people. Sometimes we experience moments that we wish never ends, these are the moments we hold on to. These people and moments collect and become our favorite. We wish to go back to those people even if it's difficult. We wish to live those moments again and again through pictures, videos, conversations and sometimes we just talk to ourselves and remind that life is worth living because of those people and moments.  But to the contrary there are some people who don't play any part in our life. There existence doesn't matter to us. And we need to normalize not caring. And it...
