Therapy- what to expect and why you shouldn’t give up

I was on a long break and even though my heart was shattering at the thought of becoming a forgotten blogger, I realized I wanted to take some time off everything. A few months back I started seeing a doctor for my social anxiety and depression that haunted me every night. It was difficult to...

Family: Forever

We are born as babies and as we lay confused and crying about this whole new out-of-the-womb set-up, our family makes us feel comfortable and inducts us into the earthly affairs. As we grow up, we form our point of views, we grow into different humans and we also tend to grow apart from our...

Gender equality in a household

The trigger word to blog- The Guardian I find it very amusing how Indian parents find relief in getting their daughters married to a "guardian". The idea of partnership just doesn't come to Indian parents naturally. It is always okay for a guy to go to work and sit on couch rest of the time...

Counting the blessings in life

A rough phase in your head? But counting the blessings can help.

Define your marriage goals

Being a free spirit, past 3-4 years I have been traveling almost every 2 months. Life has been amazing so far and when everyone started asking me to "settle down" I knew one thing - I would marry someone if only it enhances my life; if not enhance just the same life would do but...

Social media and double standard

We must have grown up around relatives or neighbors who have really big mouths but never practice a single thing they preach. Guess what now we cannot point out such people any more. Almost all of us have become such beings. Even I am one of them! Trust me there must be 30-40% posts that...

I am not raw. I am just real.

It is no more about the "survival of the fittest"; it's survival of anyone who fits in, rather blends in. Coming from a small town, past 6 years I tried on different tips and tricks to blend in. One was of a girl who is new to a big city but pretends that she is...

How I became a writer and why it’s difficult

FYI, this one's more like a rant.  I always wanted to be a journalist. Watching women on TV with mics in their hand with something happening on the background was a thrilling position to be for me. I wanted to be that woman always. Then I grew a bit and realized I love writing poems....

It’s about the right boss and not the job

Honestly I have a fucked up resume at the moment. There has been a phase in life when I was sitting at home and wondering if this is it. This wasn't the first time. I've been there before also. Things weren't the same always though. I started my career with a really small company and...

The mixed feelings that marriage brings

I recently got married ( before you get all excited, its a civil marriage and traditional one awaits). For me, marriage has been like the ticket to live in with my boyfriend and have a scheduled and planned life. No more busy weekdays and the struggle to catch up after work, little more laid back...
