All the Red Flags I Proudly Saluted

I once was in a relationship with a boy. I was young, it was my first relationship. Well, it was a decent friendship, and then maybe it was a cute relationship, but with a bad person. This was ages ago and I kept blinding myself to the fact that this…

On Shaadi

Personal blogs are, more often than not, just rants. So here I am ranting about my personal life. Context is that as a single woman, I do get asked the marriage question, by everyone. Something so personal, as choosing a living breathing thinking functioning human person to spend the whole…

Letter

Can we just go to the park, and hang? Can we sit among the flowers, and be? May I lie down on those dewy small green blades, And lose myself in the sea of blue above? Will you lie next to me and hold my hand, So that I don’t get lost? Will you let me hear the flutter of the wings of the ladybirds? And the chime of your laughter? May I spend my day sitting there, still, Till the sky above is dark, but Gleaming with those little shimmers, the stars Which reflect in your eyes?

Dil Se…

[Spoiler Alert!] I believe this movie was a hit when it was released back in 1998. I at least know that the music was a success, the A.R. Rehman music we grew up listening, the Chaiya Chaiya & Dil Se Re etc. Growing up, I was never really a fan…

Here we go again…

Covid is back and I’m scared, not too scared, not scared enough to stop living and working as usual, but scared enough to acknowledge it. Why am I scared? In the last covid wave I lost someone. …

Positive Pause Part 1

I’ve been writing about stress for quite a while now. To be honest, seeing people in stress and myself being in stress lead to those articles. I intellectualised my stress rather than admitting that I was stressed. And I think I still am more stressed than one should be. Not…

To Nani

I miss you. You were the one person who was the kindest to me. And you were kind to everyone. Type C personality, that’s what they are calling it, the kind of people more likely to die of cancer. Because they keep it all in. You were also unfortunately always treated as a second-class citizen, being a woman in North India. Even though you were a first-class person. You also kept it all in. I love my grandfather also, but I love you more. And seeing you always brings out the child in me.

Positive Pause Part 2

So therapy isn’t the solution, it just helps guide you to solutions and sustain those. What else can help manage stress? Let’s address that, but before I go ahead, I must share something the therapist said to me. He said he hadn’t imagined that HR could also have stress, after…

The 2 Types of Criminals

In my quest to understand roots of various behaviour, I stumbled upon trying to understand crime. It’s unfortunate that all knowledge comes at a price, and many of the options I explored to gain deeper understanding of this came with big price tags. So here I am sharing whatever little…

“What Will People Say”: Let’s Neglect our Health under that Premise

This is not what I wanted to write about next, but given the recent developments in my life, felt compelled to. Covid has been a huge challenge to the patients’ physical health, but have you as a patient or a caregiver felt mentally weak or sometimes even exhausted? I do…
