It’s funny how we often catch people saying time waits for no one, get your hands on it before it leaves you behind, you’ll never get a hold of it again, you are going to regret not acting right at the right time.
In all this hassle of keeping up with everything we are told to do, we just don’t realize how important it is to take a break. 

Take a break to keep a check on yourself, to see where you are going,

Is this where you really want to go?

Is this really where you want to be?

The road you’ve chosen, is it truly meant for you?

Is this what you’re ready to commit to, is this what you’ve been looking for? 

Did you ever even decide what you’re truly looking for or you just joined this race of chasing time?

We are all so busy fitting in these predetermined standards set by our environment that we hardly try to understand what we want leading to limitless anxiety, stress, and frustration to calm down which we indulge in practices that may look like an immediate relief but not a permanent solution. 

In our 20 years of education where we are basically taught to understand theories and prove theorems if we could even barely touch this topic of the inner voice and self-concept maybe we will all accept this fact with our heads held high that we don’t necessarily have to fit in!

What makes a woman unlovable?

A t some point, every single man that I have been with has told me that I am unlovable and that I cannot last with anyone. Not for long, at least. There was this one guy back in the day; who told me I was so complicated that I should come with an instruction manual.  Well, noted. I kept it simple. Put everything on the table. What I was bringing and what I expected in lieu. But, that scared most of them away, and the ones who lasted called me names.  Nearly 28 years of existence, and I couldn't decode my way around a man. How does a woman who knows what she's worth, who knows how she should be treated, who's aware of what she brings and what she should take away from the table, unlovable?  I worked hard for this. To be this woman who knows her worth. I thought this was what people loved me for, and believe me, the list is endless. Everyone loves a woman who's confident, self-aware and speaks for herself unless you are romantically involved with her. Every quality that ...

  I wrote an article more than 2 years ago describing the feelings you go through at the beginning of new love. The tingly feeling, the curiosity, the butterflies, the element of surprise, the rush, all of it! Well, that did not take a long time to go down the drain.   I have talked enough about what I went through after that. What I never felt like pondering upon is how long it will take me to get all the possible toxicity out of my system.  I thought the efforts I was putting in on myself were more than enough. I was super kind to myself. I gave abundant time to process my thoughts. I ensured to not jump to anything too quickly. I worked on my baggage before I even considered starting anything new.  And I supposed I was doing okay. I was looking forward to starting a new phase in my life. I won't say I was trying, but I wouldn't mind if the opportunity presented itself.  The opportunity did present itself, and I couldn't be happier that it did. What follo...

Life, Choices and The Opportunity Cost

  I am a planner. I love planning, but, unfortunately, planning doesn't usually love me back. From the earliest of days, I have had this compulsive need to plan the hell out of my life. Planning is my comfort zone. My biggest pet peeve is not knowing what next. Naturally, I hate bizarre concepts like surprises; they are a series of misarranged and chaotic events. Neither do I understand, nor do I appreciate the thrill of uncertainty.  But being a planner, I understand the importance of making choices. I understand that life is choices. At every step of the way, you're presented with at least one. You can be as cautious as possible, as mindful as you want and as aware as you think, but no level of planning, no length of pros and cons list can ensure that the choice you are making is the right one.  I studied this concept called "Opportunity Cost" in school. By the book definition, it goes - "the loss of other alternatives when one alternative is chosen." Ever...
