The Secret to Happiness

Image
After whatever happened last week between me and Mr. TH (let’s address him as that), I had decided to stay far away from the L word and him. I had decided to focus on my tech blog and stay away from the usual romantic (non) fiction for a while.  For those who don’t know Mr. TH, he was ‘the’ man of my life, until one fine day he decided to just ghost on me. That one week was beyond terrible and I can’t even begin to explain how terribly the emptiness was weighing me down. Surprisingly, instead of hating Mr. TH for what he did, the hidden psychologist within me was trying to understand the real reason behind his stunt. Our relation was, well, like the Mumbai rains. On second thoughts, Mumbai Monsoon is more predictable than our relationship. One minute it will be sunny and bright and the very next second, it would pour, pour to the extent that it would flood (with tears). It was like a hurricane, yet it was beautiful. But well, the heart wants what it wants, isn’t it?  I had

Are You Willing To Take The Plunge?

Image
I am standing on the balcony of my house, observing people walk. Some are on their phones, some are walking with their chin up, while some are walking with their SO. They all seem clear of what they want from life or at least from the angle that I am seeing them from, they don’t seem confused.  And I am standing here, thinking what am I doing in life?! Is this what I want to do?! Do I want to continue with this monotonous job? Am I not meant for something big? As a kid, I always wanted to stand out by doing something unconventional. Cut to present, I am doing something that I am least passionate about only because it helps me pay my rent and EMIs. The big question is till when? Till when will I just sail through? I read many articles each day on how you must ‘follow your passion’, but none of them is motivating enough. The safety associated with my current job deters me from taking the risk of following my dreams. Fortunately or unfortunately, I am not alone. There are many

What Healing Really Feels Like

Image
Healing is a process which will not happen overnight. You will take time to find yourself again. When the foundation has been shaken, it could take a little longer to heal. But don’t worry, you will heal for sure. When you are broken, your voice shakes, but as you begin to recover, you regain your self-esteem. Did I mention, you will find yourself unattractive and unworthy? That’s when you must get up and look at yourself in the mirror and remind your broken soul that nothing can hold you from healing and loving yourself. You can’t let your past baggage weigh down your present. No matter how unfathomable the day may look like, remember it will draw to a close and there will a dawn of hope. Tomorrow will be a better day, whether you like it or not. Here’s the thing about healing, your heart does not mend in the blink of an eye. You will heal one crack at a time, one piece at once. You must have patience along with a strong grit to recover. You will heal only if you are willing to heal.

All You Need Is Your Magic And Your Wings To Fly And Shine

Image
There will be men who will promise you forever in poetry and believe me those words won’t fail to seduce you. They will hard to resist. But remember, their forever will come with some hidden terms and conditions.  Be prepared for their contract of love might come with an asterisk. The unspoken truth is that their forever is only until you begin to dream big, talk loudly, kiss passionately, and argue heatedly. No matter how hard you try to rationalize, you will fail.  Darling, they expect you to be strong, but not stronger than them. They will love you, but only until you don’t question them. There will come times where they will leave you helpless and you will fall weak. They want to see you smile, but they will flip if you smile without them. They are going to make you doubt yourself, beautiful.  And even when they have wronged you, misinterpreted your strength for arrogance, you will have to stand by yourself, for yourself. Remember, that you are capable of wiping yo

The Reason Why Some Relations Don't Last

Image
There’s a popular saying that we don’t meet people by accident, they are meant to cross our path for a reason. It is difficult to explain why you feel a certain way about someone and why you instantly click with some people. On the other hand, you could be friends with some people for years and yet not feel the connection. Whether you believe it or not, people walk into your life with a predetermined purpose. Some people stay for a short time and once they are gone you sink in the silence of their absence. They were a part of your life because you needed them at that point in time and now when their role is over, it only makes sense to let them go. Their role was to maybe teach you an important life lesson or to teach you how to love yourself. Actually, we fail to look deep. I don’t know if you will believe me when I say that there’s definitely a reason why your heart leans towards a specific person and there’s a reason (which may be unknown to you) why you get attached to so

A Letter To My Guy Best Friend

Image
Dear Guy Best Friend, To be honest, the constant war of my life is that I love you, but I want to kill you. I have come to believe that humans are idiots, especially men. However, you have helped me restore my faith in men and humanity. You have shown me that not all men are the same. It is because of you that I still have some faith that there are a handful of good men out there. You have given me a sneak peek into a man’s mind that has saved me from the bad boys, for which I will be forever grateful. When I’m with you, you bring out my inner bro, and I totally enjoy it. We can joke about anything under the sky and yet feel comfortable. You don’t expect me to be ladylike around you and I don’t have to say ‘excuse me’ after a burp.  You show me the reality, no matter how harsh it may be. You are brutally honest and sugar-coating does not exist in your dictionary.  You don’t hold back, even if it may hurt my sentiments, because you know you’re only doing it to help a girl

Comfort Zone

Comfort zone is a beautiful place where nothing ever grows. You will never become the person you are destined to be if you don’t challenge yourself to come out of the comfort zone that you have been dwelling in. Not unless you push yourself into tricky and uneasy situations, will you know where your real strength lies. The easy roads lead to nowhere. I was once taught that it’s better to opt for a harder right than an easier wrong. The fear of the unknown urges your mind to shut down challenging opportunities. When you live in your comfort zone, your brain is wired to choose safety over adventure.  It’s better to leave your comfort zone by choice now because very soon you will be left with no option, but to take the plunge into the unknown.   Being crabby about a thing is not going to help, it will only spread negativity around. Instead, move out of your shell and do something about it. If you don’t do it now, then there’s a solid chance that years down the line, you will r
