Every now and then something goes wrong in my life and I tend to believe that this is the worst it could ever get. While obsessing over my current situation, I usually recall every possible thing that has made me cry, broken me or, made me want to end my life at some point. It is like a string of thoughts, leading to one another and suddenly, all those apprehensions you buried somewhere deep in your heart and decided never to revisit are right there, back to haunt you.

No matter how painful this entire process may get, one thing that remains consistent during all of this is that whenever shit goes down, I presume nothing could be graver than this but I always end up declared wrong and something even worse follows.

All I do to bounce back other than cribbing about the situation (of course) is that I somehow gather all my strength to put up a fight, maybe half-heartedly, but I do. I grow out of it eventually and prepare myself for the next worst thing to happen, wondering and agreeing to –

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 ...

SEEK PLEASURE IN SIMPLICITY

We as a generation are a set of people who are usually confused, terrified, uncertain, over-optimistic/pessimistic, trying to have it all, commitment-phobic because of lack of worthy examples to look up to, or because our relationships perished sooner than a glass of milk.  I have said it before, and I'll say it again! We do not express gratitude enough. We do not appreciate the little things in life. We are too busy working towards and looking at the bigger picture that we miss out on the comfort and beauty of reality.  The pandemic has taken too much from us already, our loved ones, our normal lives, and our will to socialise. It's high time we start acknowledging the things that we generally do not give enough credence to. It's due time we start smiling at the simple joys, as the big ones aren't happening like they used to.  Appreciate the ones who even make a faint attempt at reaching out to you from their equally busy schedule. Do not hesitate in reaching out to pe...

Am I a writer by choice or my disappointments make me one? I was a super active kid in school, I would dance, sing, act, speak, debate, recite, lead teams, get the best grades but I would write only for the hand-writing competitions. In college, there was hardly any event that I was not a part of. But I was always on the set, managing stuff, running around the college campus to get things done. I never thought I could write. I would dump the content-related work on other team members. Duh, I wasn’t even considered to be the who’s going to write. Over the years, life became challenging, relationships started failing, loved ones started drifting away, life choices weren’t as simple as they used to be, and every action had a higher intensity reaction.  Even after being a social butterfly, I couldn’t find people who would listen to me without any judgments hence, being a solution-oriented person, I started to vent out on a piece of paper. Because I just had to vent out, I never used to...
