EXPLORING THE HARD PARTS

  THE FEAR OF LOOSING Hi, I hope everyone is doing well. So today I am back with with what will be my third blog and I am not writing this with a very good and happy face on since its somewhat drawn from a personal experience that happened very recently. ALSO IF YOU ARE A LITTLE SENSITIVE, I SUGGEST YOU NOT TO READ FURTHER. Recently, we lost a very good friend of ours who had been a part of our friends group for quite some time. He was battling MND i.e. motor neuron disease for about 2 years before he finally passed away. He was the father of two of my close friends. I haven't been to many funerals in my life or I think its better that I say that I have been to none because usually I choose to stay back at home while my parents attend those because I am not really strong when it comes to things like these. Although, this time due to various reasons I had to go for the memorial which wasn’t even the funeral but it made me tear up as soon as I stepped there. It made me wonder s...

  ESCAPE MECHANISMS Welcome back to another blog. I hope everyone is doing well. So today I am going to talk about something called escape mechanism.

I have a habit of watching one movie everyday for years now. My head hurts if I don’t do it. I will do all my work throughout the day but at 6 in the evening I need to be in my bed with my laptop and some snacks to munch on...

                                      THE HARD PARTS OF LIFE You know how as kids when we used to look at people elder than us or more specifically our seniors at school or college going students we used to have this DESIRE to grow up fast and be like them? I am pretty sure we have all had that. GUESS WHAT. IT HAPPENED. I'll be honest here. It’s not as sugarcoated as I thought it'd be. For me 90 percent of the time I don't even know if I am making the right decisions or if I am taking too big of a risk. How does one know that the decision we are taking is right or wrong without ultimately taking a step towards it? Things are challenging as it is but what makes it even tougher is COMPETITION which is plenty in today’s world. Sometimes, we invest ourselves so much into what we dream to be we forget how tired we are getting, how exhausted we are and how badly we need a break. It’s like all the go...
