"Life is the obstacles"

 So my friend sent me a post that read as follows:

"Life doesn't start after the obstacles;

Life is the obstacles."


This made me wonder what if I don't always want to live through those obstacles? Maybe sometimes I just need some time to re-energize to face those obstacles confidently. I know people say that you become a better person after each problem in life, and I believe so too, but can't life give us a little break sometimes? I'm always up for risks but can we also normalize taking out time for ourselves?


I know everyone has this goal, which may be earning money for most of us and bringing about a change in the world for others, in their minds, even though they might not be aware of what path to take to follow those goals. And you realize this, more so, when you are about to enter the last year of your graduation. You see people getting interned and placed and the companies but you also see those like you who don't have it all figured out or the ones who don't know what they are supposed to do to reach their goals. Soon, you realize that everyone is struggling out there, just like you. Their track may be different but they too are running. Some people are trying to figure out what to do, and some struggle to achieve what they thought to. 


I understand that life is full of obstacles. There are obstacles at every turn. Everything seems uncertain right now but we'll get through this. I also feel that it is okay to get tired sometimes. I don't know why it is considered an offense to get tired and take a break. Well, life is not easy, so go easy on yourself sometimes. It may not seem like it but I'm sure everything will align in your favor. 


Sit back! 

Tighten your seatbelts!

 Enjoy this obstacle course of life!

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.
