The Art of Self Love
In a world that often encourages self-criticism and comparison, embracing self-love is a powerful act of empowerment. It’s about accepting and appreciating ourselves for who we are, fostering a positive relationship with ourselves, and nurturing our well-being. While it is important to love the world around you, remember – a well full of poison will not give a single drop of water suitable for drinking. We can not see the good outside if we do not feel good. Let us take a moment to appreciate ourselves, than to berate ourselves. Be the person who makes nectar out of venom, not venom out of nectar.

Falling in love with your favorite characters!
I was just randomly browsing over my YouTube feed when I got a recommendation for scenes from an old show – Left Right Left. Wait. Before we go ahead… a fair word of caution! In the below paragraphs, we are going to discuss a lot of characters from several shows. If you know Left Right Left, you would know most of the other shows. There are some English series too. But no worries. We will just discuss characters and nothing about the story. Left Right Left is a pretty complex show. I would not be able to tell you much about it even if I wanted to. But what I…

Bollywood vs Indian Television
I heard a quotation a long while ago – The main distinction between portrayal of masculine and feminine characters over the two platforms is quite opposite in nature – In Television, we idolize the feminine characters while fantasizing the masculine characters. Whereas in Bollywood, we idolize the masculine characters and fantasize the feminine characters. It has been literally several years ever since I heard this for the very first time… and all along this quote – this stark difference, has stuck with me and I have been consciously or sub-consciously analyzing all the shows or movies that I watch to find examples to refute this. Now, I do not say…

It is important to be a ‘Princess’
There is a teen movie called – Princess Protection Program. It is a Disney Channel original movie which stars Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez in pivotal roles. Now this post is not about the movie and hence no spoilers. There is just one thought from the movie that has stuck with me so far. So in the movie Demi Lovato is playing a princess in hiding whereas Selena is playing a normal girl who is in the house where the princess is hiding. Selena’s character teaches Demi’s character to be a regular teenager and Demi Lovato’s character teaches Selena’s character to be more self assured. During one scene, Demi Lovato…

रावण
कहते हैं के अगर शरीर का कोई अंग सो जाए तोह वहाँ अपनी ऊँगली से ‘रावण’ लिखने पर, वह अंग जग जाता है| मुझे मेरी अम्मी ने बताया और उनको मेरी नानी ने| मैं अक्सर ऐसा करती हूँ – जब बैठे बैठे कभी पैर सो जाते हैं तोह ऊँगली से बड़ा-बड़ा रावण लिख लेती हूँ| बिलकुल जादू की तरह, कुछ ही क्षणों में पैर उठ जाते हैं| एक बार सोचा के रावण की जगह अपना नाम लिख कर देखती हूँ – क्या पता कोई भी नाम काम कर जाए! पैर उठ तोह गए परन्तु समय ज़्यादा लगा. कुछ और नामो से भी प्रयत्न किआ| पैर तो उठ ही जाएंगे पर…

House to Home and Back
I never liked my current place of residence. It is a ground floor kind-of-independent house. To give it that kind-of-independent feel, there are a lot of doors. And my mother likes a lock on all of them. This is one of the major reasons I never like this place. It made me feel very cut off from the world. Don’t get me wrong here. I am not an outgoing person but I do love the noise. The constant reminder of not being alone. The constant acknowledgement that the change is just one step away. But here, inside my house, its very quiet. I seldom hear cars or any other traffic.…
