Just a hug !

It's amusing how a simple hug can turn so many things around. If we see it, it is just a simple gesture of wrapping your arms around someone else. But it means so much more and can be an instant cure when our heart is in pain. Being in someone's arms can make you feel so safe as if it's the only secure place to be in at that moment. It's soothing when we hug a loved one but this little act of kindness from even a stranger is so powerful that it can take all your loneliness and pain away for that bit. 

It's magically this tiny and astounding packet of energy. A hug can make you feel cared for when you are experiencing something as happy as a wedding and can console you when you are feeling sad over a breakup. A hug can pacify an angry person and lift up the mood f someone who's feeling gloomy. I like to think of it as lying in the clouds while embracing the fact that there are people in your life who find you important and have got your back.

Since this small deed is so powerful and can be so moving, why not we be the ones who initiate it? Why not spread a small amount of love and happiness across this world and help someone get through their day peacefully and happily? Let's create a little positivity wherever we go...

All kinds of romances

I have exams for my third module starting next week, so I thought, why not gear up, before I head up for all the "module end" parties this week, I should look into what the syllabus looks like. I got up and got my notebook and pens ready. I wanted things to be smooth, so I decided to find the coolest-looking pen in my stationery drawer. And there was a sudden realization that so far in my life, I've had the privilege to experience all kinds of romances possible, and that made me wonder if I don't romanticize my life enough (and the answer is that I don't). To walk you through these different categories, I've had a school romance where you look for each other in the corridors just to blush on their first appearance, a coaching romance where getting a ride home is the most romantic thing you can think of, a college romance where you wait for each other's schedules to match to go out on a coffee date, an office romance where you wait the whole day just to spe...

Women in their traditional gender roles

 Today, I suddenly got the urge to bake something I haven't baked before and I thought of baking an orange almond tea cake. As an update, it's in the oven while I write this blog. As soon as I placed that cake tin in the oven, a sense of satisfaction and peace dawned upon me and it made me appreciate my love for baking again. This made me wonder how some people misinterpret feminism as "women leaving traditional gender roles and adopting more male-dominated roles." The only issue with that is that these "feminists" start looking down upon the women who actually enjoy activities like cooking and crocheting and women who choose to be caregivers, nurses, and homemakers.  We, as a society, need to understand that feminism stands for equal opportunity in all areas. The choice, however, should always be dependent on each individual. If a girl chooses to be a chef, it should not end up raising the eyes of the "feminists" since it is her choice. Additional...

Mood swings (a poem)

I had this one in my drafts for the last 4 years. I think I was hoping to make it a little more extended one day, but life is too short to not publish your childhood poems (yes, 4 years back feels like childhood now). So, here goes... Sometimes I can be so grumpy. Instead of being happy. Mood swings at the worst. So, I may have an outburst. The reason could be my periods. Or a ton of stress. Give me a surprise. And I might apologize. I might get excited. And may even seem ecstatic. Okay, this kid was clearly going through mood swings, maybe because of a fight with her boyfriend, without realizing that mood swings are not that rare in her future.
