Vartika's World

Hey people!! long time, no see. This time I am trying to address an issue that is kind of omnipresent these days, especially in young generation. I am going to keep this short and sweet.  As hustle culture is overtaking, people are more likely to burnout and that is where the idea of taking break comes in. In my previous blogs I have always stressed upon taking break and living life on your on pace. But the harsh realty is that world's not gonna wait for you. It's okay to take a step back sometimes or taking rest, but it is also important to get back to your job and get things done.  More we try to be easy on ourselves, more are the chances of us to become lazy and holding ourselves back. Point here is that take breaks, take rest but don't let it become your natural state. These days I have seen a culture that people promote smart work, but smart is the person who gets things done and not the one who sits back and see others achieving their goals. One thing that a person sh...

क्यों हर सवाल का जवाब ढूंढ रहे हो ? क्यों खुद में ही उलझ रहे हो ? आओ साथ मिलकर बैठे, कुछ गम तुम बाटो, कुछ खुशियां हम भी भरदे।। जिंदगी नही आसान ऐ दोस्त, तुम भी समझ गए और हम भी। चलो अपने राज़ एक दूसरे को बता दे, वज़न कंधो से हटा दे, तुम भी और हम भी ।। आज साथ बैठकर रो लेते हैं, कल साथ में हसेंगे । वादा है तुमसे ऐ दोस्त, जब भी मिलेंगे खूब किस्से सुनाएंगे, तुम भी और हम भी ।। 

I started writing I was not sure if I will continue it or not. I was not even sure whether I will be publishing my second blog or not. But what motivated me? My self esteem, my believe in myself that I am good at writing. NO! not at all. Before all this I never even considered myself as a writer. Just before the beginning of my college life, started my writing journey. At first I shared my blogs with people I know. I was sure they won't say anything that will break my confidence at the same time they will be honest enough to let me know where I can make required changes. But what they did? They did exactly as I expected. They complimented me for my writing and enlightened me where I can make changes to make my writing better. My sister played a major role correcting my grammatical mistakes and helped me stick to conventional English so that I don't use abbreviations that no one will understand.  Okay! so after that came a phase when I started sharing my blogs with m...

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 ...
