“They love me, they love me NOT”

Why this title? Because we ponder upon this fact so often, that this phase decide our moods and actions.

And I don’t know what has made me penned down the most common and changing relation of Humans- “Friendship”.  Damn it! Am I again feeling lonely? For that matter I would start believing what I never wanted to! Like not being in contact with someone for months; and redeveloping the original phase I had with them- the scariest part of my life! I just don’t know how to keep relations. For me, being in contact is not something I define to be my “Friend”, but something very deep. May be old-fashioned. If someone tells me I need to meet them daily, it would probably run hell out of me. That is just not me.

I have seen my dad’s group. They have shared their life together. Even they do not greet each other daily, do not take cakes to celebrate each other birthday, even though they unknowingly support at life’s scare and scarce time. So maybe I have imbibed that in me.  

In the world of social media, when you escape for a while from it for the fact that you need to concentrate onto something you wanted to achieve for so long, you feel disconnected. Disconnected because you don’t know what has had happened in his/her life. Disconnected because you are not part of their Facebook likes and comments, also now Instagram likes and comments. Disconnected because you don’t know the joke that is trending on WhatsApp group, disconnected because you are not part of “Fun Chats” taking place in that group. Sadly, thanks and virtual kisses, hugs go to that friend who commented to your post rather than the one who stood by you. Your life’s amazing moments are judged continuously by snap stories and pictures’ caption. Yes, I had been away from the evils’ all form for a while. Thank God, I don’t ever have a feeling of FOMO, which is quite visible among every individual. If I had then I would never be able to keep off of everything and start getting panic attacks. This “FOMO” is such a perfect word to describe the generation.

 Friendship is never an advantageous transaction. It is much deeper than that. Beyond all give and takes. Friends are those with whom you can unhide real you. Stop impressing someone who just doesn’t care where you are or what are you doing. Nurture and build real relations beyond WhatsApp Chats.

    true that...

    But those people get virtual hugs and kisses for a reason. They are virtual...
    Real hugs and kisses are for people who stood by us.

    Whilst we publish our lives for other people to see (and judge), we area secretly waiting for that one person to see and tell us "Chal na be! I know you well enough..." we know that they know we know they know.. ;)

    Whilst our daily life is full of shares, likes and comments, we know that the other half of ours will understand the sarcasm in our otherwise polite replies.. :D

    Virtual life is called virtual for a reason. It can never be real.. Like us. XOXO :D Consider these real... Till we meet again.

    P.s.: Why do you wait for unexpected? Wouldn't that make it expected? :P

Feminism 2.0

Yesterday, I was having a conversation with my old friend and he asked me if I was still blogging. And I sighed immediately. The worst feeling is not giving time to writing. There are so many things to be told but I just feel too lazy. But now let me make a resolution of at least trying to bring up to you one topic per month. I don’t promise though. So, why this topic? A cliched term? I am not the one to give opinion here. The word feminism has very broad meaning. But I always look up to it and construe the same with my own experiences. I am quite amused by the interpretation of being a feminist and rolling of eyes that is freely accompanied by this topic. The word feminist is interpreted as bitch in a black suit, men-hater and who always consider herself superior, sometimes “divorced” and also annoyed at the entire world. Absolute myths surrounding the word. How many of you come across women starting the topic with “I am not a feminist but...”? I mean why you need to justify? ...

That sticky-note!

 It was during March where I was fed up of my schedule, and that feeling had somehow made me cranky. I was sitting on my study table with books all piled up and me staring at them. I was somehow trying to calm my mind from getting stressed up. And at that very moment, my brother came inside my room and unknowingly disturbed my thinking. He just wanted to borrow my ruler. He patiently asked me if he could, and I shouted at him for always borrowing my things and not returning them. My whole frustration was on him now; I got a reason to pour it out, and that too on my younger brother. He left picking up the scale without any reflexes. And I got back to my zone, wondering and worrying! With all these I concluded that I need a little nap and then things might get better. It was after half an hour that I woke up and what I found was my ruler with sticky note. The ruler was exactly at it's place but with a note attached. My brother had quietly sneaked in and left that. And ...

Acquaintance

It was 2016! Where I started cursing my life, started the thought process that “Why me?”  Those things never go and it didn’t go unless it taught me. Going through difficult time is never easy. God is usually blamed far more than His share, at times no share. Time never flies by. 24 hours are too long. I felt as if I was less fortunate that I had to go through so many career and personal flaws in a year. But past two months has changed something in me. My greatest teacher recently has been two females which I acquainted recently. During mid of August this year, I met a 28 year old girl in my CA coaching classes. We all were having random conversations about hardships that we all have faced while pursuing CA course. And she shared her's. She lost her father when she was 24 leaving her elder sister, herself and her mother behind and also a huge business to run. Amongst all these chaos and trouble, the emotional trauma, she not only did complete her studies, but took entir...
