The 'non-stereotypical' woman.

Women in india are taught that marriage is a business transaction, wherein you can exchange your education, status, marry a suitable guy and live your life happily after.

“ Beta, why don’t you get married?” , “Get a direction in life?, your husband will take care of you” are some of the common phrases to be heard. The hypocritical society will tell you to be independent, smart and then will bash you up for being ambitious and strong minded.

Do not succumb to the pressure of getting married ever. An accomplished life partner is not your step to success, your success ,lies in your hands, do not let the society fill you up with self doubt and the thought that women are suppose to do only certain things in life . You are above and beyond that. A woman is an all rounder. Your marital status doesn’t define you. Being unmarried and sassy is the new status and can be handled by few people only. It’s a tag that Indian society might not help you live with it but to do something big in life, firstly fight the stereotypes, fight your fears, life is not what society projects, its what you what it to mean for yourself.

Achieve your dreams, go travel, and yes you do not need a male to validate your existence. You can be single and happy. Marry, when you want. Make your career choices. Be free in your mind and heart. In the end, Its your life, you make it or break it.

You get to decide your vision of your life. Not fitting in this small glass of society ain’t your fault.

Let life unfold.

Let it unravel.

Its you who matters.

Love,

xoxo

Unconditional Love

A self-less love is an unconditional love. The kind of love our parents shower on us, without any expectations, without any conditions, inhibitions, possessiveness, boundaries. It is the kind of love that flows like energy, an aura that constantly revolves around us. Love is not merely doing things which are expected out of you from the society. It is that stepping stone that lets an individual take a higher road. It lets you love a person without any sort of expectation, looking beyond the imperfections and just loving. As simple as it sounds, it is a difficult thing to master. I think love is a form of meditation, Perhaps that is why it seems like a daunting task to love a person. We often complain about the people we love, but are we perfect enough to find the flaws in other's? Do we ever self introspect before condemning a person? The answer is NO. We relate people to materialistic things, Maybe that is why it becomes harder to connect to another person and love unco

Enlightenment.

This word has intrigued me for so long. What does it mean anyway? In my quest of finding answers, I encountered a lot of ART OF LIVING workshops, where they read verses from the holy BHAGWAD GEETA and compared that with the practical truth in life. They guide people to live a content life, give a sense of direction if your lost,if your soul is restless. They help you heal from within, well for certain people. But for me, this never attracted me, for me this was not enlightenment somehow. I read about meditation, about how it opens your third eye, how it helps in bringing the light to your darkened diminished soul. But that didn't feel like the enlightenment at all, strangely! Then, as I grew up, I learned about yoga, how it brings a person at peace, yes certainly it does ,but my question still remains unanswered. Did it help me enlighten my soul? I tried taking a Reiki healing course in quest of feeling and experiencing that spark, I thought, my soul longed for. I thoroughly b

Thoughts from a diary of an Amateur Doctor.

I was merely 5 years old ... when I incepted the notion that I wanted to become a doctor, I was so mesmerized and fascinated by the profession. In childhood it was a profession that everyone wanted to endure and targeted their aim at. With the steps of every class, for some people that dream faded away.. that image of becoming a doctor diminished.. but I clanged onto it. I always endured and visualized that image of me wearing a white coat with a stethoscope around. This particular profession excited me.. it tempted me..As I grew up my wish to become a doctor morphed into the only passion i wanted to pursue. Eventually I realized that the more fascination of this profession seems from outside , triple the amount of effort you need to put to lay down your foundation of becoming one. Nothing.. believe me nothing at all could deter my aim of becoming a doctor. And today I am in a medical college pursuing my dream. A dream that I nourished since my childhood. Commencing my medic
