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

Virtual Trauma.

Have we lost the essence of things we do?  These days, expressing is more about snap chat, emoticons, face time or texting. Where is that old school way of expressing? Even a simple " I love you" has bruised itself to ILY.  It is just kind of sad, that relationships these days are more digitally dependent than ever, not that it doesn't come with great amount of advantages for the LDR's ( Long Distance Relationships) but overdoing the technology has actually evoked our sensitivity as humans. These days, enjoying our own company is more like, sitting by ourselves, and using our smartphones. I am a victim of this technology and I'd admit, that it has taken a toll over me. I mean honestly, it has just kind of started to seem stupid to go up to a stranger and start up a conversation in person without looking stupid or desperate , for its more convenient to that over virtual platforms available today. There just so much out there on the web, on the virtual space t...

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...

HYPOCRISY.

Hypocrisy or falsity is a big disease in the present world. It's pandemic!!! Hence aptly our century is called as " KALYUG " meaning ' The Age of downfall'. According to hindu scriptures it is said that this age of hypocrisy will meet its judgment day which would mark the end of the world. We are always told to act and believe the age old idioms and phrases taught in the childhood and we swear by them. On age old phrase is " HONESTY is the best policy". Seriously is it? I mean why teach something that can't be practiced in the real life. The gospel of life is that you cannot live with honesty and it needs to be adulterated by small portions of hypocrisy,manipulation with a little hint of lie to just add that dashing flavor. I do not sound politically correct  right now but by far this is the reality of our existence. What exactly is hypocrisy?   Hypocrisy  is the state of pretending to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc....
