Our generation has very conveniently segregated itself into two groups. One is the old school and the other is millennials, both these groups might contradict their likings and dislikings, tastes and preferences, intellection and beliefs but one thing that runs common in the entire generation is lack of tolerance.


We get hurt so easily, our hearts are so fragile, we cannot contain our emotions, we do not even realize what is the right amount of reaction and attention a situation deserves.


Moreover, a lot of us describe our weakness as being too emotional.


I do not really think the entire fault is being too emotional. It’s just a cover-up for being naive, bias towards people and situations, and expecting too much out of everything. 


We tend to be emotional at our convenience. We are emotional for ourselves. Getting attached to people easily isn’t being emotional, expecting too much too soon isn’t being emotional.


Rather than sinking in a situation and cribbing about why we always manage to land ourself into trouble, our focus should be on finding ways to understand the importance of life and chances given to us, understand that it isn’t our hearts that are fragile, it’s our mind that is brittle, that isn’t letting us realize our capabilities and our zeal to create a far better world.

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 ...

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...

Ah! The incomparable joy and comfort in the lonliness

  The joy of roaming around in an empty house in a robe with a glass of wine, The comfort of eating your favourite meal in a public space with your AirPods on, The joy of watching a movie and not getting prompted every minute,  The comfort of not having to talk to anyone after a long-long day of work, The subtle joy and comfort in knowing there isn't anyone for you to depend upon. If you shatter into a thousand pieces, no one is going to pick any fraction of it. I am now best friends with the void that scared the shit out of me. Chills run through my body when I spare a mere thought of how comfortable I have gotten in my own company. I don't know what or which particular experience it is that cut right through me. But whatever or whoever did it, they did me a favour. After it all, you are all you got.
