Rapes have become such a common word. Right? Everyday we see a huge number of girls getting raped. What are we doing about this? Nothing! There are so many girls getting raped on a daily basis but no one really cares. Media just cares about the drug problem in Bollywood, and people are here to judge and blame it on girls. “She must be wearing short, revealing dresses”, “She must have given some hints”, “Why was she out this late”, “Why was she alone with a male friend”. To the people who think these questions are valid- “Why a woman wearing burqa raped?”, “Why a 3-year-old got raped? What did she do to deserve all this?”, “Why a girl doing her work in silence, raped?” It’s the 21 st century, you need to stop judging. Will girls spend their whole lives in the fear of men and die waiting for the justice to be done? Why is it always “protect your daughters” and not “Educate your sons” and “ask your daughter to come home early” and not “ask your son to come home early”? A 19-year ...

Its interesting to think that all those things that you want in life, or at least think that you want, someone else was born into having it all, And you don't have any say in it and neither did they. We don't get to choose what kind of life we are born into and we most definitely don't get to choose our looks and health by birth. We know this, yet we often go through life having difficulty accepting it. The problem with comparison is that you always either feel better than someone else or worthless compared to others.   I am fat and always have been, and I'd get teased for it growing up. They would tell me that slim people are more appealing. It made me dislike my own body. I think its a classic example of a situation when the reason you start comparing yourself in first place is because someone else starts comparing you first. I was happy the way I looked and felt in my own body until others felt the need to express that there was something wrong with that and suddenly...

Accidentally they came into your life, unexpectedly you fell in love and all of a sudden they left. You're still waiting for them, aren't you? Your face still lights up when your phone buzzes and your heart sinks when you realize it isn't them, and the harsh truth is you'll always be waiting for them but they aren't coming back. Breakups and heartbreaks leave you devastated. It may take a lifetime to forget all the good memories you had spent together. But what is the point of holding on to the things which are painful. Let's turn those bad experiences into the fuel to move on. That's what is called winning. Long time after your breakup, you realized moving on is not easy. You may have done everything to forget someone but memories don't leave you so easily. You have to go through so many mood swings. Some times you feel like you have moved on and at the same time you can feel the pain in heart like all this happened yesterday. Even after trying so har...

Do you ever get a feeling where you don't wanna talk to anybody? You don't want to smile and don't want to fake being happy. But at the same time you don't know exactly what's wrong either. There isn't a way to explain it to someone who doesn't already understand. If you could want anything in this world that would to be alone. People have stopped being comforting and being alone never was. You feel the way you do just because you hope the feeling will pass soon and that you will be able to be yourself again, but until then all you can do is wait. This is what it feels like when your mind is not at peace. Inner peace and self love are most important for one's survival. We need to learn that nothing holds us back more than our own insecurities. Nothing can make us happy if our mind is not at peace. There are wounds that never show on the body that are deeper and more hurtful than anything that bleeds.   I wish people could understand that the brain is mo...

ANOTHER DAY, AND HUMANS HAVE NOT FAILED IN FAILING AT HUMANITY! We keep searching for monsters with devil's horns and heads, but little do we know that these monsters walk beside us. A pregnant elephant was fed a cracker stuffed pineapple by some people in Kerala, which burst in her mouth. A state with 97% literacy rate, but 0% humanity? Did the elephant hurt anyone? NO. She stood in the river because of the excruciating pain and passed away without hurting even a single person. She trusted them, and they betrayed her. I guess betrayal is a basic human nature! She was an innocent so, couldn't understand them. As we say "We can not play innocent in the world that is not innocent", this clearly proves that we, humans can not be trusted. We say animals are wild, but our actions show otherwise. God gave us power to think, to make world a better place, but what are we doing. Why is this the human tendency to do the opposite of what we should do! Why do people have so much ...

Dear long lost friend, Today, suddenly notification from snapchat popped up "You have memories to look back on today" it said. I opened it and was left with nothing else but tears. It was a flashback of the golden days we've spent together, all the crazy things we did together. Isn't this weird how once upon a time our friendship was unbreakable,we were inseparable, but look here we are... It's been months, we haven't talked, opposite of the time when we couldn't see our future without each other! We went from "dude, I know you better than yourself!" To " complete strangers". I know you think I don't miss you, but the truth is that i miss you, a lot! I always watch the videos of us laughing uncontrollably and think about how much fun we used to have. Since you left, i don't feel like talking to anybody else. You were the only one who knew all my secrets. You were the one who could know my mood just by a text and my tears behind ...

College is a place every teenager dreams about. We always wonder how our college life will be like, Will it be exiting? Will it be fun? Will we be able to handle everything? Since the first of college, we want our experience to be perfect. We enter colleges worrying about our future but this place turns out to be the most beautiful experience of our lives, it flows away so quickly that we are left with only the memories. College is supposed to be a place where you reform yourself away from home, breathing outside the shadow of your parents. We have more opportunities and time to explore our interests and passion rather than only focusing on our studies.We learn to be independent and become mature enough to solve our own problems. From teeny weeny dreamy eyed freshers with so many aspirations and expectations to seniors we become friends, mentors and  saviours for our juniors. College is famous for nurturing each student and for building a concrete base for their next level. We achi...

Have you ever wondered How importan t YOU are in your LIFE? Ever thought that your FLAWS make you beautiful? Hav e you ever considered yourself more VALUABLE than others? I guess not, because we always put others before us. But during this lock down phase, one thing I've learned to put myself and my family first. This lock down phase, till now has been a great learning experience for me. From learning how to deal with my problems, to respecting every human relationship, i have tried to evolve into a better human being. Things which I couldn't learn my whole life, this pandemic taught me in 2 months. Most important thing that i learned is to count all your happiness even if its the smallest. This quarantine period have proved to be the best time to explore, read, learn and write. Most of the people are saying "this is a tough time for all of us". Yes it is. But, i believe that people realize their true worth in difficult times. So, this is the best time to re-evaluate...
