The COVID-19 pandemic has the world at its knees. People are suffering, they're dying and the rest of us are quarantined with our mental healths possibly weakening. Despite this, I have faith that we will come out of this victorious, as we have after past epidemics and pandemics. But there's something that I want to… Continue reading Numb to the Numbers

Laziness
How do I draw a line between protecting my mental health and being downright lazy? This is something I've indirectly wondered about for a long time, but now I think it's high time I addressed it directly. I constantly ask myself, am I doing enough? The answer is, I'm not. Here's where the conflict arises:… Continue reading Laziness
To reassert my priorities
For me, self-growth has become a constant process of me pulling myself out of self-depleting mindsets and allowing myself to assign more importance to my own self, than others. More often than not, it's a challenge (as it should be) to do this. I think about other people a lot more than I think about… Continue reading To reassert my priorities
Ready
I never believed that there was a time and place for everything. I didn't that there was ever a possibility that a person was/people were not ready for something. I thought that the only variable I should take into account is whether a person puts effort into something. And I still do believe in the… Continue reading Ready
Things I’m doing during quarantine

Sometimes, I make myself utterly anxious and terrified from the things I think about and things that happen around me. But there are some things that make me feel so much better. While not all of these things work all of the times, I decided it was worth listing them down for a rainy day… Continue reading Things that make me feel better

Oddly enough, some of the most wondrous things I discover are by accident. I make a random decision in passing, which ultimately moves me to my very core. I did something like that a couple of days ago. I signed up for this live stream of Arunoday Singh's poetry reading. I did it simply because… Continue reading 9:00 PM on 4th April, 2020
Two ‘rights’
I think for me an important part of growing up has been realizing that people won't ever see things my way. There will always be a lapse in understanding: I probably will never understand their standpoint about a certain issue and vice versa. That's big for me. Because that means that there is no absolute… Continue reading Two ‘rights’
Conversations
I've had a few conversations lately that have truly liberated me. They left me feeling great right after, but they were liberating because of the fact that they made me think. They made me think about myself and my life. I'm someone who's always happy to self-reflect, though there are times when there's a literal… Continue reading Conversations
Changes
Lauv is a singer that I've been listening to for over a year now. I like his music because I feel that he's one of the few artists whose music I can truly relate to and understand. One thing I love about Lauv is that he's honest in his music. No sugarcoating, no exaggerations just… Continue reading Changes
