SOME THOUGHTS

I don’t think I will ever understand that the concept of crying is termed as something only women do. I remember seeing a family on the metro with two small kids, a toddler, and another one 5-6 years old boy. The boy was running in the metro and because of the break, he fell very badly and hurt himself. His father came running to help but the first thing he said to his 5-year-old boy was “Don’t Cry, Boys don’t Cry”, “You are a strong man”, “Man Up”. After some time boy stopped crying even when his eyes were filled with tears.   Our society has categorized men and women in certain ways. Since childhood Men are told to be stronger and women are referred to as the weaker. Being strong means being able to bear all kinds of pain without any fuss. (How rubbish!)   They are humans too, and humans are supposed to have emotions (At least I think so!). How can you actually tell them men don’t feel because they are men??   Real men don’t cry   Be a Man   Stop Acting like a...

Of course, it’s not a matter of shame . I mean, just because you bleed to continue the race, doesn’t make it a matter of shame, or does it? Sadly, 70-80% of Indians have failed to realize it even until now, They still believe in all kinds of taboos, myths for the reasons even they don’t know about (just because it’s happening since ages!!). In some places, menstruating women are even isolated from their own homes, not allowed to enter the kitchen, not allowed to sit with all, not allowed to water plants, and of course, can’t be near Religious Places!!      And many more do’s and don’ts which are taught to girl when she first gets her periods, by her mother & grandmother. When a girl is just 13 or maybe 11 you tell that child that you are impure for some days now don’t touch this, don’t do this and blah blah nonsense crap. Imagine that little kid getting all scared! Just because of these stupid myths and stereotypes. So from the beginning, a girl's mind registers it ...

Being an Introvert is not one’s choice, it’s a basic nature of a human. At times it gets a little hard to grow up with extroverts because sometimes introverts get misunderstood as arrogant, selfish, shy, and rude (worst one!!).  So, I am an introvert and I can’t really change it. Being one is a feeling of a mixture of lots of emotions. ·       You find simple things hard to do like even saying hello to someone, your instincts say that you should but your nature stops you.   ·       Functions/Festivals:  hate it!! Will have to meet people, talk to them (awkward silence). It’s hard to be present among the crowd and sit their silently just replying yes or no or even just slightly responding by moving head. ·        New Year celebration?  Yeah, I’d rather watch shitty TV award shows with family and have fun. (I love it rather than those noisy parties!!) ·        Phone Call...

Yes, it is absolutely "O kay to Be not Okay" every now and then. You can't be happy for 365 days in a row unless you are a Robot. Be honest and easy with yourself when you are not okay.  You don't need to be okay when you are stressed, feeling low, going through hard times, etc. These events make life what it is. But feeling not okay for a long time is also not good for your mental health which will eventually affect your physical health too.  When someone asks "Are You Okay?", "Is Everything Good", we always reply "Yeah! I'm fine". It's up to you whether to reply or not and what to reply. You don't tell anyone, and instead, pretend to be strong and worry about everything on your own and bottle up your emotions until they burst.    Life is a matter of  FLUCTUATION . Consider a person who's happy always without any worries. Such a boring life that would be! He is okay all the time, all his days are the same. How can he enj...

“Engineers!!” What does exactly comes in your mind when you listen or think about this word? Don’t you think like Oh! Another Engineer. Being an Engineer is a topic of the joke in India nowadays. Even the engineers make fun of themselves let’s leave the other or society for now. There are thousands of Indian engineers making fun of themselves making memes on social platforms and obviously in society. And the main reason for this is the “UNEMPLOYMENT” of engineers in India. There are millions of India’s Engineers who are unemployed or stuck in the jobs unrelatable from their fields. Every year India produces lakhs of engineers, out of which only 10-20% get their desired jobs or desired packages. The other 80% either don’t get any job or very low packages. The college authorities offer high chances of placements at the time of admission but it all turns to be fake when actually needed. Graduates who fail to get engineering jobs often change their job streams and take additional courses...
